People, cafes, vendors, street merchants, buskers, historic buildings, art installations and much more. The power of observation underpins the art of great street photography. Learning to "see" interesting detail is a practised skill and we introduce you to easy methods that will open your photographer's eye and expose you to a world that is alive with detail. The most rewarding part of the class is learning how to approach interesting people and have them willingly pose for you.

    Title or Location: Mommy & Me Promo Shoot
    I discovered a new background company Baby Dream Backgrounds. I purchased this background, called Lavender Serenity, on their tester program, which means that I needed to send them photos they can use within a week. I had a model call and took two families. This mom came with an 8 year old and 3 year old girl. She wore her wedding dress for the photos and the girls wore a mix of dresses from their own closet and from mine. For this image I added a painterly effect, removing it from their face

    I was able to photograph this Barred Owl while out on Saturday morning. It had snowed the night before allowing for a wintery scenery. The Owl was sitting perched in the pine tree looking for its prey as well as keeping an eye on the photographers taking pictures.

    As the sun starts to set, the Bush Babies of Crocodile Bridge rest camp awaken. I sat patiently by the pole in the fence, waiting for them to emerge. These nocturnal beauties cautiously pop their heads up, then back down, before jumping off into the setting sky, eager for their night ahead.

    As a Bulgarian myself I was visiting my country during the summer of 2024. Astrophotography is my favourite type of photography, so I joined one of the masterclasses organised by one of the world leading astrophotographers - Mihail Minkov. And this picture is the result.
