Photography
Here are a few photography techniques I learned while trying to take better portraits:
When selecting an environment, consider a soft, diffused natural light.
When composing the shot, you don't always have to follow the rule of thirds.
Using the flash right requires a lot of practice.
No matter how good you are at getting it right in camera, retouching photos with editing software like Lightroom will always help.
Got a family photoshoot on the horizon? Let's chat about some low-key tips to make it a smooth ride:
Casual Captures: Ditch the formalities. Opt for candid shots that reflect genuine family moments. It's not just about looking good; it's about capturing the real deal.
Sunlight Woes: Direct sunlight can be a bit of a headache. Schedule your shoot during the mellow hours, like sunset, or seek refuge in the shade or on a cloudy day. Clouds are the unsung heroes of photography, trust me.
Background Check: Picture this: a flawless shot ruined by a random backdrop element. Not cool. Scout your location in advance to avoid any surprises in the frame.
Edit with Caution: Less is more, especially in the editing room. Heavy edits might not age well. Aim for a timeless vibe that stands the test of time.
Burst Mode Brilliance: Missing out on key moments? Activate burst mode for a series of rapid shots. It ensures you capture the essence of every fleeting smile and laughter.
So, keep it cool, stay friendly, and let's make this family photoshoot a hassle-free affair!
As a photographer, one of my primary jobs is to make the client feel comfortable. Here are a couple of tips that have worked for me in taking portraits of women.
Put them at ease and make them laugh. Make small talk. Ask about how the day is going. Try to get them to relax.
Find out what they think is their good side and why, and keep that in mind while photographing.

It is estimated that tens of thousands of protesters rallied on Boston Common in 2017 as part of the Women’s March for America, a reaction to the new presidency of Donald Trump.
The crowd—which was heavily female—came with signs, chants, and cheers on topics ranging from reproductive freedom to climate change.
