Long Exposure Photography

“The picture that you took with your camera is the imagination you want to create with reality.”
Scott Lorenzo

Long exposure photography is a technique that produces stunning effects and dramatic moods. Even when you shoot at night, you’ll still be able to create detailed photos with beautiful light effects. It works best for landscape photography.

Although mastering the technique is not easy and involves a lot of training and practice, there are no complex skill sets or procedures needed for long exposure photography. All you’ll need is a reliable tripod and a good camera that can do long exposures.

You can choose to go on a formal workshop, but since there are no special skills involved, self-practice is the best option because you can control your pace.

Long Exposure Photography Tips:

Avoid vibration of any kind
Be mindful of the weather
Visualise and compose your photo
Lock the focus and look for any leak
pay attention to the light
Do several test shots
Choose and add ND filter

Portraiture

“In photography there is a reality so subtle that it becomes more real than reality.”
Alfred Stieglitz

Portrait photography or portraiture is the process of capturing your subject in a photograph. While that clinical definition is factually correct, portrait photography goes way beyond just clicking pictures of people.

It’s about capturing a stunning and emotive portrait that evokes feelings in the viewers and captivates their attention.

Great portrait photography is as much about following the rules and guidelines as it is about breaking out of the mold.
