| These photos are fabulous. I particularly like the engagement photos for your friend - the one of the feet with the reflection of the bodies in the water is GENIUS!!

| You are definately do have a natural gift and have found your calling with it. You should move to Hollywood.  I wish my son had you taking pictures of his wedding last June. They sure would have been a whole lot better. Congratulation!! |

I am only 1 1/2 hours from Myrtle Beach, and would be glad to come up there and take your family's photos on the beach! Or, I can bribe you and you can come to Charleston.  Seriously, let me know! I'll PM you my email address so you can keep it on hand.Quote:
The thing that will get you the furthest in learning photography, is getting a good camera, first, and then practice, practice practice! I suggest getting a Canon Digital Rebel XT or XTi. They're AWESOME cameras, and really similar to waht I use professionally. Not too expensive, either! (But if you need to save up in order to afford it, do so, because it's very worth it I promise!) Also, do not skimp out on the lenses you buy...they'll probably cost more than the camera body itself, but it's SO WORTH IT to have a good lens or two. Also, get yourself a speedlite flash 430ex - which is also made by Canon. You'll never imagine how much better your photography will get just by using a nice flash!!! I can't stress that enough. (And when you use the flash, practice aiming it at different directions then straight at your subject. Doing this will bounce the light off of the wall or ceiling. Unless you are outdoors, never point the flash straight at your subjects!) Really, the trick to getting really good at photography is learning the relationship between the right lighting and the manual settings on your camera (f/stops, shutter speeds, and ISO). Practice makes perfect! And read up on those relationships too. Don't worry that it might overwhelm you at first. It's confusing! I've been professional for just 1 year so far and I'm just now having "a-ha!" moments about these sort of things. It's ok. While you're learning, don't shoot on Automatic. That won't help you learn. Shoot on 'P ' for Program mode, and learn about the other modes and what they can do for you. As you do this, watch what f/stop and shutter speeds your camera chooses for you and take note of what works. (Such as when you're outdoors at dusk, taking pictures, hand-holding the camera only makes sharp photos when shooting at over 1/60th of a second....I learned that one for good about a month ago, oops!) And making mistakes is part of the process too. Don't be shy, take LOTS AND LOTS of pictures! Digital is awesome because you're not restricted,and you can see your pictures immediately. Check your images to see what you could have done better. Is it exposed correctly? Too dark? Blurry? If so, why is it that way and what could you have done to make it brighter, crisper, sharper? Etc. Keep the good ones, delete the bad ones, and keep on shooting! :-)

| Val... you are amazing! You do an amazing job of capturing the best side of your subjects. I'll need to keep track of you- I'm really considering getting married on a SC beach. Actually, your wedding photos are what got me thinking of a beach wedding. I want something low-key and I LOVE the beach- what a great combination! If you're just one year into your career, you're going to be an amazing photographer as the years go by! |
