photoshoot, John also helping us through the
whole shooting process on the day. I found the
dress at a local bridal designer who provided it to
me in exchange for images.
WHAT DID YOU STRUGGLE WITH MOST
WHEN STARTING OUT WITH PORTRAIT
PHOTOGRAPHY?
I struggled with focus a lot when I had my first camera,
the Nikon D3400, which had a crop sensor. I later
found out that you can get good quality images
even with crop cameras, the trick is to have sufficient
lighting on the object, so I bought a portable LED light
to use outdoor.
ANY INSPIRING WORDS TO LEAVE US WITH?
Many people don’t start doing something creative,
because they think they don’t have a talent. One
photographer told me that talent can be developed
- It is all matter or practice. To make the learning
process faster, find a good mentor and learn from the
experts. Don’t be afraid to put your work out there
and be criticised - criticism is good for development,
but only take criticism from experts, from those who
understand what photography is about. Remember,
there are no strict rules in the world of photography.
Any image that can cause a strong emotion can be
called a good photograph, even if it violates rules.
