https://www.pexels.com/@raybilcliff/ Photography is a ubiquitous art form that has the ability to capture our attention, tell stories, and evoke powerful emotions. But have you ever stopped to wonder why we’re so drawn to taking photos? What is it about certain subjects or moments that makes us want to capture them on camera? The answer lies in the psychology of photography, which explores the underlying motivations and emotions that drive us to pick up our cameras and start shooting. One of the primary reasons we take photos is to capture memories and create a sense of nostalgia. By capturing a moment on camera, we can preserve it in a tangible form and revisit it whenever we want. But the emotional pull of photography goes beyond just preserving memories. The way we…

https://www.youtube.com/embed/D3az8cKSyMs In this tutorial I will show you how to add a texture without complex masking to a studio shoot. The key is to shoot on a gray background, not too dark and not too light, but middle gray. You then add a texture and put it in overlay mode. You can try soft light and multiply but usually overlay gives the best results. You can then mask out some of the texture on the skin but that is fast and easy.

Photographic Speciality/Style: Fine Art and Nude Art, Minimalism – specializing in photographing dancers. Short Bio: My passion for photography started at a very young age with a film Canon camera at the age of 14, documenting things at school like theatre shows or school trips. After I had finished school, there was a break from photography as I had a job. In the early 2000’s I discovered digital cameras and restarted with family pics. The real breakthrough started in 2020 during the boring COVID time. I was able to take over a former dance studio and build my photo studio inside it. With some more workshops and a lot of private shoots with dancers, artists, yoga-girls and ballerinas I was able to follow my passion. Your images are stunning and…

Bracketing seems to have fallen out of fashion a little with the advent of advanced editing techniques. But I still believe that it’s an incredibly useful tool and can help improve your photography quickly. In this article, I’ll explain exactly what bracketing is and teach you how to use it effectively. WHAT IS BRACKETING? Bracketing is a camera function that allows you to capture several different exposures of the same scene. So bracketing at its most basic means you capture a photo at the correct exposure alongside one underexposed and one overexposed image. https://unsplash.com/@ventiviews Although most bracketing occurs in groups of three this isn’t an absolute requirement. So you could bracket with any number of shots and take images at a wider variety of exposures. You also have the option…

https://unsplash.com/@jxk Flashguns are an often misunderstood piece of kit. In my experience people are often nervous of using flash. They worry about controlling the light and avoiding the harsh shadows that on-camera flashguns are notorious for producing. In this masterclass, I’ll show you how to get to grips with flash photography and use this useful piece of kit to your advantage. CHOOSING A FLASHGUN Even choosing a flashgun can be a little confusing! You can choose from flashguns made by your camera manufacturer, or one made by a third-party. When it comes to flashguns it matters less which brand you choose and more that it’s fully compatible with your camera brand and model. This is particularly important with modern DSLRs and mirrorless cameras, where many of the flash’s functions can…
