A day at the farm – Lifestyle Photography

A day at the farm – Lifestyle Photography

A couple of weeks ago, I spent a very nice morning at an abandoned farm with Miss N.  It was a perfect day to experiment a little.  With three cameras and 85mm f1.8, 50mm f1.2 and 35mm f1.4, I had plenty of options.  I really don’t like changing lenses in the field, as this introduces dust into the camera.  Also having a mirror less cameras makes it even worse, because the sensor is fully exposed when the lens is removed.
Miss N, was absolutely wonderful to work with.  Full of energy and full of ideas to add to the whole session.  We started off very early in the morning, at 6:30am, just to be able to catch the best light.  Miss N was ready from the start.  It is great when you working with a person like that.  The whole session is a lot more fun and time just flies by.  We got a lot of images that day, and I would like to share with you some I would call lifestyle photography, with a beautiful woman, a beautiful dress and the contrast of an old farm.  Enjoy!

I was playing with 645 Pro photo app on the iphone.  It’s quite an interesting app, with a lot of options for film and format.  Then edited via Snapseed app.  They were done while on a walk with Konrad and our little dog Atos.  He’s not little anymore mind you.  I think he doubled in size in the last month and a half.  At least he’s a good mosquito catcher, of which we have an abundance.  Atos is doing his part.  Here are some of the photos from that walk.  Enjoy!

People in the Mountains – Candid Photography

People in the Mountains – Candid Photography

While making images at tourist destinations, you will always run into people.  I always try to catch a few shots of them, while they are not paying any attention to me.  This makes it easier if you are carrying a small camera, that makes almost no noise.  Enter Sony NEX line.  I have one of those and coupled with a 24mm f1.8 lens it’s perfect for street/candid shots.  Just carry the camera by your side point it in the fight direction and snap.  The shutter is nearly silent, and the whole system is very discreet.  There is always a chance that you might miss the action, but by not raising the camera to your eye, the people you want to catch, act natural.  Here are some candid images I captured… but the last were posed portraits of the family.  HDR too. Enjoy!

Romantic B&W Couples

Romantic B&W Couples

There are times where B&W photography is almost a must.  Times where the world around us is devoid of color.  Like this set.  I find that taking images of couples is very rewarding.  My approach is very hands off.  I find that having a couple be themselves, leads to the best images.  I might throw in a word or two, but mostly I just let them be.  Enjoy!

I always like b&w photography.  There are certain situations that cannot be expressed better than in b&w.  This lifestyle session was one of them.  It was a cold cold day, and I was impressed that the model was able to pull this off.  Quite amazed.  Enjoy!
