Before I had kids I had never thought about photographing children. Really. Fast forward to present, I actually ended up photographing lots of children. Totally unplanned. It just happened. Shooting kids is fun, exhausting, but fun, if you chose to think that way. I’m talking about toddlers here, about children who can’t pose you and understand that they need to stay still because their picture is about to be taken….
When I put myself in the position of a teacher, meaning that I am willing to share my humble knowledge about photography and help someone in their learning process, I come across three different attitudes, let’s say, from the people who want to learn. First kind of attitude actually can’t be called as an attitude at all. It’s about learning on forums. People post their photographs for someone to critique them. To them, having…
I don’t know what is the first thing that comes trough your mind when you read “Do your best with what you have!” but I’m thinking about the equipment, space and conditions in general. Everything would be great if just everything is great. But that’s not the case at all. Nothing is served, in real life or in photography. Saying that, I also have to mention that yes, occasionally God…
So, this got me thinking about my real trouble with selfportraits. I knew what my real troubles are but honestly, didn’t think that anybody else would have similar issues. Everyone seems fine with selfies. I asked two photographers I really like, about their selfies. They had completely different approaches and they work is completely different, however both of them care about the things that really matters in photography, and I…
Again, I had 2-3 hours free time during this Saturday. Of course, I went for a photo walk, but before I started the car and I decided to call my husband to see where exactly he was (he, of course, was somewhere fishing) … maybe I could take a photo or two. He told me that they were just preparing to go on the other place but if I wish…
Well, the last weekend was successful for taking some shots, I think. I had just two available hours for going somewhere, being somewhere for taking shots and returning to home. I manage to get 8 keepers. I would call that successful. This week and weekend I would call unsuccessful! Completely. I would actually use much stronger word for explaining but I can’t find it in my vocabulary. I was chasing some…
I managed to arrange a couple of hours of free time on Sunday. I took my tripod, camera, CPL, car keys and left the house. As I mentioned before, I don’t have enough available time to go somewhere and to shoot something. If I had some free time, I’m limited by it and by the that exact time of the day. I’m a bit sad because of that but that’s…
Yesterday I was chating with a photographer whose work I really admire. I don’t know what he likes in my photography, I don’t understand why, but he says he does like my work (let’s just believe him, shall we?). In addition of being a good photographer, he seems like a good person also. He helped me much with the advises he gave me so far. Somewhere along our interaction about…
This photograph is one of my favorites so far. I hope I succeeded to tell the story about this boy. Did I? Some photographs demand spending some time with them and truly seeing what is going on there. This is one of those photos. Every part of the photo tells the story about this boy. Where does he live? How does he live? Can you just for a second…
I want you to read my blog and come again, I want to get to know more people, but I feel obligated to tell you more about me. You need to know some things about me before you decide to spend some time here with me. That’s only fair. This is not a try at justifying myself for my behavior, actions, or my grimly look. I can’t do that, either…
