Had a great time and very inspiring experience at the Image Nation conference with Advertising & Illustrative Photographers Association [AIPA] last weekend. Amazing photographers speaking at the conference included Tony Drayton, Alexia Sinclair, Craig Potton and Briar Pacey. Lots of interesting talks and new ideas!
This photo was taken early April 2012 morning in Invercargill. The camera was set on a low tripod just as the sun was rising. Shutter speed was 30 seconds ensured the waves would create a foam creamy surface.
This photo was awarded acceptance at North Shore Photographic Salon 2012.
It is important to choose the right location for your portrait session, it’s all about the right light and selecting a background that is complimentary without overpowering the image. Outdoor photos are great when taken on an overcast day which creates a soft and diffused light. There are some great locations at Castor Bay beach with iconic Rangitoto as a perfect background for an Auckland outdoor scene. Alternatively, Pehutekawa trees will provide ideal backdrop for your family portrait – especially when in full blossom. The beach helps in setting a more casual atmosphere with the family sitting down or walking together. Kids can have lots of fun which provides plenty of opportunity for capturing photos that are more natural. My studio, on the other hand, is perfect for creating more formal portrait photos with full control of the light setting and protected from the elements. There is plenty of space and lots of setting opportunities with different props to create the desired impact. Some of my best portraits are candid, an intimate moment or when everyone is enjoying themselves and having fun.
