Finally weekend!

This Friday, I'm featuring a relatively well known artist here on dA. Her name is Nilgün Kara and she comes from Turkey. Her work is a big source of inspiration for me. Innovative minimalistic work which continues to mesmerize and thrill me. She probably doesn't need this feature, but I have to give her credit for the countless brilliant images she have produced. So, enjoy!

While I have been using my camera for work-related stuff the past three weeks, I'm yet to have found time and conditions suitable for my own personal portfolio work. This weekend I'm hoping to catch the sunrise at a place called "Land's End" (which you've probably seen in my gallery). Hopefully the conditions will be good this time.

I had an enjoyable shooting experience this last week. I was asked if I could shoot something for a client at work. Food shots. Terrifying too, since I didn't have a clue what I was doing at first. After a couple of dozen shots though, I managed to control the light and light the food dishes better. I really missed having a dedicated macro lens for this work as I really wanted to get up close with the food (it tasted great btw!). While I got a few great shots, I wasn't all that impressed by myself. Next time will be better though. I've also found out that food photography is a real artform...

At work, we're investing in lighting equipment for product shots and so forth. I've been tasked to find suitable equipment (daunting...). Hopefully I will be able to borrow this equipment and follow my "secret" dream which is story-telling-people-photography (conceptual stuff). I have tons of ideas which I've not yet been able to execute due to lack of proper equipment.

Have a great weekend people!
