Hello everyone, Hope you are having a great week. So the last two post in my webpage are photos of my friend with her brand new baby boy. She was looking for a newborn photographer, but decided to get in touch with me and we tried to worked it out.  So the first one is the mum and the baby. We took the picture outside in the garden since it’s May and pretty warm. It was sunny outside that day. So we waited until the golden hour to take them. The baby boy was asleep, so it was easier to take the photos and the mummy was very easy going.  And the second one is a shot of just the baby boy. We put him on a soft blanket in a basket outside. He is very calm and happy baby, He was awake for that part and he was just looking at me the whole time and smiling. So cute. I wanted the basket to be seen so I didn’t remove it in Photoshop. It gives the photograph a great mood and I just love it. I think they came out great. I love that I was able to capture such a young life  ...

Hello everyone,  This week posts are a little bit different, than usual. The first one is a photo of a landscape. I love capturing a sunrise, so I woke up early that day, took my tripod and head to the beach. I set up everything to be ready, when the right time comes. I have decided to do a bit longer exposure to have the ocean nice and smooth, but not too long so the sun will still be visible as a circle shape. It was about 6:30 am when I took this shot. Honestly I love it. It came out a bit differently than I expected, but the colors are awesome and the birds on the beach make it very unique.  The second photo is a kind of try-out of a product photo. On the picture is a motorbike. I love motorbikes, even though I’ve never had one. This model is Ducati Diavel Carbon. I have taken the photo in front of a while wall of a building and make the light coming on the bike the way I wanted, I made my friend hold a white plastic board in front of it. To remove the grass to make i...

Hello my dear followers, Hope you are having a great day, as I am. Let’s talk about the last two pictures I posted this week. Both of them are photos/portraits of animals. One is a portrait of a dog. It is a puppy of a Border Collie. She was very sweet and it was very fun to play with her and takes photos in the same time. She was very fast at times, so my manual 50mm lens wasn’t probably the easiest idea to go with, but I like having the power over my camera and lens so I can decide where my focus would be. Also love the bokeh of this particular lens. That is why I usually go with the 50 mm. The second photo is a capture of a random bird I took on a walk by the beach. I also used my 50 mm lens, since it is one of my favorites. Originally the bird was located in the middle, so I’ve decided to crop the photo, so it would be in the lower third (the rule of thirds). The background is mostly the ocean. I color graded a bit to have a brighter colors. If you have any questing, I...

Hello everyone, I wanted to write a post about my two most recent photos I posted. The first picture was a portrait of a girl with an umbrella when it was raining. I have decided to take the picture the way I did, because I wanted to capture the grey mood and add some colorful aspect like the rainbow umbrella.  The second photo was the girl’s mum in the rain. (Hope you’ve seen it, I am really proud of that one.) It is a close-up photo of her face, with the rain drops. Black and white. The mood is awesome. The goal was to make you think about late fall. Hope I succeeded. If you have any questing, I would be happy to answer them.  Until next time, John. Tech info about the photos: Body Nikon D5200 + 50 mm lens Edit: Snapseed
