Alexandra Tremaine

This lady is a wonderful photographer! I especially love her wedding shoots, I love the way she can capture everything from the obvious pictures and portraits but also the little details too. Like the rings, the guest book, the bride getting ready, etc.. Her name is Alexandra Tremaine and you can check out her website here:

More Light Painting...

Here is another wonderful light painting artist I found, her name is Chanette Monso. She does Light Painting and focuses on the human form, her work is beautiful.

Light Painting

I still have 2 photo's to take for my Light & Form project in class and I'm kinda freaking out. But then again, I tend to overthink things. ALOT. And I'm a terrible perfectionist. I've been getting inspired by some light painting pictures and found a really amazing photographer, in fact he is one of the top 18 light painters in the world!
For anyone who doesn't know what that is, Light Painting is when you place your SLR camera on a tripod and set it on a long exposure in a dark room or place and you walk in front of the camera with your lights and while the picture is exposing, you "paint" with flashlights, light sabers, Christmas lights, LED'S, and just about anything else you can think of. Even fireworks!

His name is Dana Maltby, check out his Flickr:

Diane Varner

This woman's photos are amazing...

I was scrolling through google one day and almost passed her up. Her photo's are absolutely beautiful! Most of the vibrant colors and cool effects are done through Photoshop but I really admire how she can capture the most simple objects and make them amazing.

 I hope to be this good one day!

Kazuha Matsumoto

Ok, so most normal people post about their favorite portrait photographer or landscape photographer. Not me. Here is one I just recently found, he is a commercial photographer, his name is Kazuha Matsumoto. His photos are absolutely beautiful and out of the ordinary (in a good way!). He does everything from advertisements to cosmetics. I've done some product/commercial photography myself and it's harder than I was expecting. It really teaches you the importance of positioning your lights and about paying attention to details in photos, it's like still life and portrait photography all in one. All sorts of things in your photos like shadows, reflections, dust, colored/textures backgrounds etc. can either ruin your photo, or it could actually make it pretty interesting. This kind of photography is always about pushing the limits and breaking the rules.
