BMT College September 2023
Applied my new-found knowledge and shot a few portraits of our personnel. Still a couple of hiccups and fine-tuning and learning ahead. But a couple of the images came out looking not too bad, like this picture of Leandra.

DPC Studio Workshop at Studio012 in August 2023.
It was awesome working with Sascha, even though she probably ended up helping more with the photo-taking part.

Steampunk Workshop at Studio012 in July 2023. More shots from the day. The costumes and get-ups lend themselves to monochrome creations. Even missed a couple of the set-ups, but it was all worth it.
Luke reconned it was time for a bite.

Steampunk Workshop at Studio012 in July 2023. Different costumes, different models, and amazing hair and make-up by Amanda. Had to borrow a camera from a friend because the Canon 2000D didn’t work with the triggers.
Melissa was a great sport during the shoot.

Portrait of my dog, Hayley. (Not happy with the cropping, though. Zoomed in too much while taking the photo).

We’re still focused on the black and white theme, and this short tutorial by the acclaimed photographer Joel Grimes is a perfect complement to my tutorial of Minnette!

Capturing a figure like Mandela is indeed a significant achievement for any photographer. The authenticity of this candid documentary shot is striking, with the low angle view enhancing Mandela’s stature and presence.
