A somewhat surreal shot. The lighting was less than ideal so I had to use a higher ISO and a slower shutter speed than normal, but that's okay....it gives some of the pics a dreamy quality that I rather like.

Stumbled upon this the other day.....it's the first time I've ever seen a hummer building a nest and I must admit, it was quite remarkable. She seemed a bit disturbed that I found her out, so after clicking a couple of shots I left her to her business and wandered away. Really wonderful sight, I might add....

Glamour portrait photography isn't your regular "shoot and go" style of photography. I am not however talking about magazine style beauty or fashion photography either. To me, a glamour make-over session it is just in between both genres. Your subject should look like any beautiful pro models you see in the magazine pages, but more closer to reality. A client pays to experience the look of glamour. I see often too many photographers go too far into their portrait editing. The faces start looking like plastic barbies. To find the middle ground it is about expertise. So, let me share with you how a shot comes of my camera and how it ends up as the final product. Anna is still Anna. Wrinkles are softened, and the dark circles under her eye are gone. Most of the time, dark circles can be corrected with make-up. But I just wanted to show you a true before and after.
