As stylish monochromatic images can be, I love working with color when all things fall into place. Here there are no distracting objects of colors that would subtract the focus on the subject and the colors basically jumps out at you. And I can’t think about anything more livelier than toddlers.
This is when my photography started to improve, due to two factors – We moved to a house, which has large windows. (Not to mention a huuuge backyard that I am looking forward to use in the spring, summer and fall). I also dived into a bunch of Photoshop tutorials. Taking the photos is just half the job – the other time is spent in Photoshop CS3 where I finalize and edit each photo that I consider to be a keeper. Here is one of my daughter, Freya. She is sitting in our living room and I used the only source of light that was available – the window.
Thanks to my friends, the word of my new career is moving fast. I appreciate it! That also means I need to put up more photos, so you can see what I can do. Experience and practice makes me better, so I believe my newest work is always the best. Nowadays I am also shooting RAW which is a digital negative and doesn’t compress images like JPEG does.
It’s easy to get stuck in a rut where you concentrate on getting head-on shots. But profiles can be just as interesting, especially to ourselves since we don’t see us at that angle.
Here’s two examples, a pretty classic portrait and one where the posture tells a story.
Here is where I will post my best and newest work of my own kids and clients. Enjoy!
