Luminograms are photographic images created by exposing light-sensitive paper directly to light, without using a camera. While researching the technique for our Fine Art Photography Course, I came across this video by Michael Jackson on how he uses this medium to create works of art.

Excellent, Great styling and setup! A slightly higher / more tilted perspective will have shown more of your subject. the soup. I suggest you add a little bit more punch by very slightly dropping the overall exposure and lift the soup/contents with a radial gradient, also adding texture and a little bit of clarity. Please…Read More-

This is a 2 image hand held focus stack which allowed all three the larvae to be in focus. I have decided to revisit some older work to experiment with the newer…Read More

Renate, it’s crucial for photographers to frequently revisit their older work. Firstly, to gauge your growth, and sometimes, after a fresh edit or crop, you might realise you had a gem like this macro shot all along! Congratulations on your feature! -
This is an absolutely stunning shot, and you are really brave for getting so close to a wasp nest! The Canon 100mm Macro lens it is such a great lens, I love mine too.

Thank you, Rosalie! I took the picture early in the morning when they are still fairly lethargic. It reduces the risk somewhat. Later in the day they are quite aggressive and take a menacing posture by aligning their stings in the direction of the perceived threat.

Jacques, I don’t know why we always choose the coldest day of the year to run a street photography course, but it played in ouyr hands here. The person walking up the stairs with hands in pockets adds a nice touch. The structural elements are sharp, contrasting with the motion blur of the subject from using a slow shutter…Read More
