Friday's Tip

Tip 7:
Make use of shapes;
* interesting shapes can create powerful composition


Tip 8:
Photograph translucent objects:
* leaves, flowers, anything that lets in light
* photograph unusual images using the light box
* effect of the final image can be improved by adding another light source (soft box)
* edit in Photoshop to create scientific images



Tip 9:
Photograph food:
* shapes, textures, patterns and colour
* use simple light
* use exposure compensation


Tip 10:
Take an abstract approach:
* focus on the patterns and texture
* keep lighting simple


Tip 11:
Close-up photography:
* choose unusual viewpoint so that the object is not clearly identified



Tip 12:
Mix transmitted and reflected light
* glass and water both reflect and transmit light which can create subtle tones and textures
* transmitted light; place a glass object in front of a strongly lit white background or use a translucent white material like a tracing paper lit from the behind to create subtle tone
* multi-facet objects can produce a variety of effects by changing the background lighting
* photograph glass by using diffused light from the front of the set-up, such as soft box or a light bounced from a white reflector. This will reveal reflective qualities of a glass


Tip 13:
Look for ready made still life:
* pattern in the fruit at a market stall
* colours
* patterns
* composition
* for sharper pictures, use tripod


Tip 14:
Create design with colour:
* choose background colours in harmony
* choose opposite colours
* add props to create interesting still life
* create a mood by changing the white balance

Romantic Tattoos






I am a great believer that everything the human eye can see, should be captured for everyone to experience.


I am also a great admirer on artwork on human body, 'Tattoos'. A few years ago, I decided to take photographs of people with tattoos and publish a book, 'Romantic Tattoos'. 

The concept of this book was to portray the uniqueness of each tattoo which is special and personal to each individual.

Here are some of the photographs that are in the book.
