Photography: ISO, Light, Day & Night

December 17, 2014

ISO 200 The Hunger GamesLight is the primary factor that influences photography. It has the single most impact on how photos turn out. If the light is too bright and harsh, photos look washed out. Take photos when it’s too dark and everything turns out black.

Photography: Accent Colours

December 4, 2014

Small Damages by Beth Kephart with Orange Accent ColoursColour is an effective anchor in photography. Picking one accent colour helps to maximise the impact of a photo. Bold colours capture attention and can make the simplest photo appear much punchier.

Photography Apps I Use

November 21, 2014

Smartphone photography appsThere might be ten photography apps (excluding native apps) installed on my iPhone but I only use four apps regularly and another two occasionally. I could delete the rest from my phone but once in a while it’s good to have them. In any case, I thought I’d introduce the photography apps I use.

Photography: Bright Colours and Soft Shadows

November 12, 2014

Bright colourful booksEvery now and then I receive comments on Instagram about how someone loves the brightness of my photos. Some even ask me what filters I use to achieve that kind of brightness. I rarely ever use filters. If I do, it’s to achieve a particular mood but that doesn’t really apply to book photography.

Photography: White Background

November 4, 2014

White background on deskWhen it comes to book photography, nothing is simpler than grabbing a book, placing it on a white desk and snapping away. Or is it? Truthfully, you don’t need a white desk, cool as it might look. While the above photo depicts a section of my desk, I hardly take any of my book photos on my desk.
