Janelle Brook Photography

Janelle Brook is a person that has come into my class last week and showed us her business Janelle Brook photography. Starting a business young isn’t easy but Janelle made it happen with working hard and dedication to what she wanted to do in life which was wedding photography. Most of her business consists of ether the same clients or clients that are friends of those clients. Now entering the world of social media she has made videos of her photography and has posted them up showing the kind of work she does. Now the way Janelle got the ball rolling was with weddings but there are different things you can have her do too. Janelle has gone to photograph the bride to be in sexy photographs with nothing but lingerie for the husband to be. Over all the way she keeps her clients is she cares about them and the photography doesn’t just end there she photographs the cards that go out and does hours of Photoshop to the pictures to make sure that they come out just right and will even help if you have a baby or a child that you want photographed. Janelle has photographed many faces and later down the line photographs her client’s children as they grow up for whatever they do in life the clients know that they can always count on Janelle to photograph their events and really anything they want. Janelle also works off her website which is http://janellebrooke.com/ and for all the people that wonder if they want to use her for their next event they can always look there or ask their friends as a good reference. 

Natan Dvir

Last Monday we had a guest speaker in my class his name was Natan Dvir. He specializes in computer graphics but he hated his job. The job he got was healthy for his wallet but he didn’t like it after some time. He later picked up a camera for one of his friends and started shooting and instantly fell in love with it. He was given a job as a joke so he can get fired for it but they wanted to give him a chance. He ended up doing amazing on his project, since then he was photographing all over the world. Natan later went to Israel to photograph the injustice happening there but the part that makes this so interesting was the fact that he did this on his own, no assignment to do it nothing he just wanted to. So he told us of how there was no one allowed to go passed a fence/border because there was gun fire in the distance on the other side and there was this guy there trying to get over because his baby just died and he needed to tell his family.

            I find it amazing that he is that devoted to his photography that he would go and quit his job in the middle of his carrier and go to find what he really wants to do. I also find it crazy at the fact that he dropped everything to go and photograph a war, as I said it wasn’t like he had an assignment to be there so he wasn’t making any money off it he was just there to be there. http://natandvir.com/

portfolio

I brought my portfolio into one of my photo classes the other day and got it reviewed by one of my photo teachers. The teacher liked my work over all and now expects a lot more better work from me and even now that i got a better camera he is hoping that my photography will only improve. These were some of his more liked photographs.

Canons new printer

Canon released an ad to show how well their printer works and the ad is a very amazing they used new eye scanning technology to show how people view a photograph and the result is pretty amazing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ic3suBJDsVw

Grey Cards

I had an assignment to shoot a subject with all different focusing settings then with a grey card under their face. The assignment was a little bit of a challenge but over all I think it taught me a lot about my new camera. this was some of my work through the day.

My new camera

I finally get to retire my old Lumix FZ47 and I upgraded to a Nikon D7000 the camera is refurbished and it works very well. but when I got it i had to do a little photo shoot of it first so here it is. And the camera bag in the back I won earlier this year in one of my classes and never bought one so I guess in that sense it payed off.

Tree

Not too long ago I was driving down my block and i happened to pass by a tree. Now we are in the fall the time of colder weather, football, and rich colors. While passing this tree I saw a very nice and vibrant yellowish orange and when I drove down the road a little more I caught a great photo taking opportunity, the trees were bent in almost a bridge like structure above the road and I knew I wanted to capture it. I unfortunately didn't have my camera on me so I did the best i could with my iPhone 5 and for how much I wanted to get in the photo it was not that bad at all but I will admit that the sacrifice of not having my camera was definitely reflected in the quality of the photographs. Just goes to show how you could find something you weren't even looking for right around your block.
