Environmental portrait and landscape

This is something I have started to love in photography specially when there has been put a lot of work in the photo. The once I did aren't that great comparing to others but I want to put more work into each photo and do it more in my own way. In this project we had to use studio flash in one inside photo, a flash in one inside photo and in one outside photo as well. The portrait with the bee keeper I want to take it again in the summer when there are actually bees around her, but I had to do this in February so there are no bees. Then there is the one in the coffee house, I like it good colors but maybe a bit dark. Even though the photo of the video editor is a bit flashy I still like it cause its usually dark in this room.

I will try to do this one again. I want to make it batter, in the summer with bee's around and some honey. I am also going to document the harvesting of the honey but that is going to be for another project.

This is one of my friend's he works at a coffee house in a market. I cropped the photo a little bit. The biggest problem with this shot was that it was almost impossible to bounce the flash of a wall or the roof because the roof is so high and the was no good wall close by. I managed to bounce it off a sign.

This portrait was fun, but at the same time it was also hard because there is not so much space in this room and when I used the studio flash, it was usually to strong or to light. I used one umbrella on the right side, that lights up the table where the desktop is and then I used a soft box directly in front of him. I kept it as far away from him as possible. I took several photos in several positions but I liked this one the most.

This is about 8 photos merged together into one original size is 10.000 px x 4.000 px so it is really big. I will definitely do this again, specially when I want a lot of detail in the landscape.

I enjoyed both of these project even tough I should have given myself a lot more time to do them. I am already doing three projects now I have started shooting two of them and I am still trying to get all the things that I need for one of them. I will hopefully post them here soon.

Until next time
