What is photography?
“The art or practice of taking and processing photographs.”(Reference: http://www.oxforddictionaries.com Online)
• Drawing with light
• Capturing the moment and image
• Colour or shades of colours including black and white
• Stills, Action and Movement
• Seeing the world through the lense
• Time standing still in the frame once the shutter has closed and recorded the image
What does it mean to me?
A little about my
background: my first camera was at the age of 8, a little black box camera
(film). Photography has always being a part of my life. I really enjoy
capturing images, whether it be landscapes, people, buildings, water,
nature etc, etc. When digital photography arrived it made taking photos
so much more fun.
I have the opportunity
to follow my passion, up skilling and expanding my knowledge in
photography, as I have being in the Graphic industry for many years.
One of the best
investments I ever made was upgrading to professional equipment.
This has put me on a different level with my photography.
My goal is to keep learning and to get a better understanding of my
Camera, Composition and Technique. My aim is to produce outstanding,
amazing and breathtaking photos.
