an inspiring photo book that i have on my wish list |
i thought i would tell you about the photo class i attended on the weekend. firstly, claudette is so sweet and was very patient with us. i loved that she spoke to us as though we knew very little about photography and she gave us answers!!! i have taken photography classes before and this was the first time that ISO, shutter, and aperture - the three languages of photography - made sense to me. i think with practise i may finally get a handle on it.
photography, claudette says, should be simple. her tips for photography and shooting kids in particular made total sense to me: change perspective ~ have a vision but adapt ~ let go of the idea of spontaneity ~ find constant light ~ story tell ~ capture movement in the photo ~ use colour ~ use the rule of thirds.
i was relieved to know that those professional photos of children and families that look candid actually require prep work. i don't know why i never knew this before. claudette introduced us to one of her favourite photographers, anna kuperberg, who has taken those 'candid' photos that i love so much. aren't her photos awesome?
