During my week off, that spanned from Easter all the way to the following Sunday, I was able to do an “impromptu” photo shoot with my friend Lucas. I thought he was just a friend reaching out to help, and it was, but I later, during the session, discovered that he has done modelling before. […]
View ArticleRecently I’ve joined an ‘online photographic’ society, focused on pairing up photographers, models, hair stylists, make up artists and costume designers. It is a great idea and there are a lot of interesting profiles there. I have seen great work done by the participants: beautiful models, great photographs. This platform, called Model Mayhem, is a […]
View ArticleSo I have started thinking of my next project. In parallel to working on my portraits project – which will be very difficult as I rely on models to be available – I will start my “What the eyes can’t see” project. I will still reassess the name, but the subject is taking photos using […]
View ArticleI have just updated my Portraits gallery. It now has an ‘old photo’, i.e. from when I started taking photos, that I took of someone who is dear to me. Haven’t seen her since the trip I took that photo. Maybe next time I’m in Brazil. Please visit my project to see the photo. p.s. […]
View ArticleSo my partner and I went to Lorne so he could swim the “Pier to Pub”. As the name suggests, the swim goes from the pier in the city all the way to the beach area in front of a pub. It is about 1.2 Km. He is very sporty. We decided to stay in […]
View ArticleI will do a whole project on Portraits. I thought that I could start with my own. I care a lot about my self-image and I loved the photo I posted of me on the day of my engagement party. Now that I have the all (most) of the material required for a studio, I […]
View ArticleI have decided that the first Finding Your Reflection will be executed after Christmas. This Christmas period is quite hectic at the moment and getting time with my models will be difficult. I now have 4 people who have agreed to do it, and one of them is my partner. I will probably start with […]
View ArticleSo we went to Williamstown. Had lunch and went out to somewhere nice to take photos. There are good photos of Nanna, but in all honesty, the photo I likes the most may not have been what my partner had in mind, but it definitely is what I believe the best photo (getting an agreement […]
View ArticleI have to learn how to do portraits. I generally take a lot of event photos, but I have only done one portrait session in my amateurishness. The photos didn’t turn out bad, but not fantastic photos either. The important thing is that the client (a work friend) was very happy and impressed with the […]
View ArticleSo I have finished editing my photos for Parameters: Yellow. I have also edited some of my partner’s photos, who decided to come along to the exercise. We had a great time and we are currently comparing which set of our top 5 photos turned out better. Between the black and white and yellows, I […]
View ArticleYou may have noticed how excited I am with these exercises by the fact that I have posted twice (more?) in two days about them. But here is goes. There is a “Find Your Reflection” assignment in the book. And I was going to use my partner to execute the exercise. But I thought to […]
View ArticleSo I decided to look at the next exercise. It is an extended exercise that will go for 3 weekends, starting the day after tomorrow.
