Hey Guys. Looks like I’m on a roll this week. I am on the blogging marathon. Just shows how much I missed writing. Let’s jump straight into the topic...

In the midst of all the lifestyle photo sessions, I worked a lot in the studio (Winter kicked our butts) to practice and hone my skills. I planned a couple of fashion photo sessions so I can capture beauty and understand portrait techniques in addition to Photoshop skills which was elaborate. I focused on the lighting techniques, angles, poses which taught me so many tips and tricks as I progressed and tried them out on all the lifestyle sessions. To add, I worked and collaborated with senior photographers to understand their process. To my surprise I saw that I was improving every session and achieved results that I was hoping for.

They say with hard work you can achieve anything. I was determined to get on it and make some changes in the way i looked at things. I decided to experiment with lenses, lighting techniques, photography types which really helped me learn and execute them in real world. I also had the privilege to interact with the top photographers in the valley which really helped me grow as a professional. Networking is one important aspect which helps you learn from the best of bests.

They say “The more pictures you see, the better you are as a photographer”. I started practicing every chance I got  It is very important to click with people than to click the shutter they say , I started making appointments with models. I have worked my way and I feel excited and happy to see the progress. Now, lets together check out a few pictures.
