20th Century Masters





20th Century Masters

I made it to the final day of exhibit. To my surprise you are allowed to take pictures in the gallery just no flash. I went wild and snapped all the important ones to me. Why I love the classics is you can see how they use the fundamentals of lighting, composition, colour and translating the story of the character  through their medium.

Vuleka Schools

 

Vuleka School Rosebank

My friend Angela Raldini works at Vulaka as head of fundraising. She asked me to come take some photos of these amazingly talented kids. I would have loved to shoot more of the school's activities that they offer these kids.

Sunday afternoon in Jozi

Sunday afternoon in Jozi

I am trying to stay away from HDR at the moment. Here's Mack and Janine allowing me to take their photo on a Sunday afternoon in the city.


 





changed the shutter and aperture to get the blur in the water. Mack had to stand very still.

Faster shutter, wider aperture.
