5 professional shots
This next shot was again taken with my phone, just about two weeks ago at a buffet. I was completely stunned of how beautiful the ceiling was in the interior with such unique lighting that surrounds the space. I then knew straight up that I had to capture the moment not only because the contrast looked cool but I personally think that any source of light can fully transform a photograph.
This shot was when I got to experiment with my DSLR and it was honestly really fun because I honestly think that fairy lights can make a difference to a photograph and I loved how the photo turned out. I worked on my angles and adjusted my camera to the point where I got a result of a blurred background which I always wanted to do and managed to achieve it for the first time.
This shot was taken with my phone on my trip to Kota Bharu a few weeks ago. I managed to capture this photograph of coconut trees swaying in the strong wind. Despite the fact of how vibrant the skies and trees were I opted for this photo to be black and white because I could just imagine this photo being taken with those old film vintage cameras which gives me a vibe that takes place in the olden days. I personally think that filtering any type of photograph to black and white can make a huge difference and I really did like the outcome of this photograph.
This first shot was taken by David Priymak. I really do like this photograph a lot because of course, it involves the one element which happens to be my favorite which is the power of nature. I really do like how this photo was captured in motion and that it took place at dawn as welI .I really liked how the thick fog surrounds the trees as it gives an effect and colour wise, I think that the sun rays shining though the fog gives the whole photograph a settle look.
This stunning shot was taken by Ryan longnecker. This immediately caught my eye because of how incredible this was captured at a perfect timing and how smart for the photographer to capture this at a specific timing near dawn. Colour wise, I really do like the fact that the sun rays reflect on different parts of the water which results in different colors of the waves all together which makes a huge difference to whole photograph.
This next shot in london was taken by Remi Salva. I really like this photograph because it’s historical which never fails to amaze me and it’s beautiful. I would say that the Big Ben stands out the most out of the whole photograph which is appealing.The fact that the photographer managed to capture a photograph of beautiful skies that reflects perfectly on the water is amazing. I would say that the element of shadow in photography can also play a role and I like how the photographer managed to capture the shadow coming from the bridge.
Photography that has got to do with animals would always be one of my favorites to look at. This shot by Ian Harper of a precious animal is very much endearing to me. As mentioned before, shadow is key to achieving a unique style photograph and that was exactly what I noticed straight up when I first saw this photo. I like the fact that the environment is dark and settle with bits of sun rays shining through the trees. composition wise I think that the animal right in the center as the main focus is a great way to draw attention with it’s head is tilted which I find adorable .
I would say that the one person who does a remarkable job of capturing unique looking portraits would be the well known Brandon Woelfel on instagram. This photograph immediately caught my eye. The reason I like this is because it’s different than the other pictures he captures. His main technique would have to be the fairy lights and I might I say, it makes a huge difference to anything whether it’s humans or objects. I like the fact that he’s using a human as a subject but at the same time, he brings a different approach to the photograph. The outcome looked brilliant with the fairy lights wrapped around the model’s legs whilst she’s on her tippy toes and I would say that the background choice is spot on as well as it gives the photogrgraph a pop of color.
This shot was taken a few weeks ago in the car when I came across a sunset and of course, I could not miss capturing the moment and so I did. I would say that this was captured on a perfect timing as the clouds needed to be exactly where they were. Sunsets in general can never fail to amaze me because of how pretty the change in colours can be and that’s why I really like this photo.
This first shot was taken with my phone 3 years ago on my trip to Malacca. Considering this was one of my first few attempts in photography at the time, I ended up really liking this photograph because of how well the contrast was between the trees and the walls of the St. Paul’s church. I think that capturing historical moments like this would be such a great subject to photography and that’s what I went for​.
