I’ve always loved photography. I remember taking a photography class in high school with my sister and cousin. We enjoyed that class so much. We even all continue to do photography today. As much as I love it, I also love post editing my photos. I like to edit each one individually because I feel each photo has a certain feel and look. Each one needs that extra care to make it work best. I know I can improve a lot, but do what I can for the time I have. Here are a few family shots I recently did of my daughter.
I loved the lighting that day on the beach. I know lighting is so important. I struggle with light on most of my attempts at taking photos. There is either too much light in one area or not enough. I think I struggle with not enough light on most cases. I did buy some more lighting a few years ago and that helps a lot. I just don’t like having to always bring a load of equipment around with me. I try to use natural lighting as much as possible. It’s just easier.
I at times do photography for others. It’s always a joy to work with others and to see what we can come up with for great shots. It doesn’t always turn out, but there are always a few that come out just fine by the time everyone is exhausted. I say just go with the flow. It does not have to be perfect.
I will continue to take photographs of the things I like and I’ll try and share them more often. If you ever would like me to take some photographs for you then just let me know and we can work it out. I sometimes am willing to just do the editing of photograph that you have taken. Just another thought.
As time goes on we all continue growing at our own pace. Photography is one of those things that never gets old and I feel that I am always growing with each new project. I hope you too can enjoy taking photos and try and take them to the next level. We can all improve on paying attention to detail. Getting that extra hair out of the face, a better pose, or shooting at an angle that hides unwanted objects in the image. All these things can help the photo become just a little better and the more we practice these small improvements the better we get at it. The better our family pictures will be. Just face it, most of our photos are of us and our families. It is great to sit down and share photos with family and even better when the images are of a higher quality and a joy to look at artistically too. Everyone keep on shooting with a purpose. take care till the next blog post. :)
