What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
I am a firm believer that there is no such thing as a “good” photo (people will have an opinion one way or the other), I do have a handful of go-to tips and tricks that I turn to, especially when in doubt. These aren’t rules per se—more guidelines that you can follow when taking photos of your home—a framework within in which you can move around, experiment, and have fun. The great thing about these “rules” is that they are applicable to almost any situation and level of photography.
Most cameras today (whether they are top-of-the-line or bottom-shelf) come with manual settings and options for advanced shooting. To follow along with these rules, you only need three things: a camera (make sure you have read its manual), a tripod, and a standard photo editing software. Whether your photos are “good” or “bad” is simply up to you,
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
When booking let me know what to expect when I arrive and what your home is like.
What do you love most about your job?
Photography is universal language to speak to te heart. Today, photography captures the most breathtaking, abstract, and unique moments. As an art form, photography is both emotionally provoking and visually stimulating. A photographer invites its viewers to connect to their work as they tell a story or work to elicit a certain response.
What inspired you to start your own business?
“Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it.” -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The first thing I did when I decided to become a photographer was to get business cards printed that said Barbara Gasior PHOTOGRAPHER. Even if I wasn’t 100% convinced I was ready or good enough the simple act of printing cards made it real to me.
I started out with a basic SLR camera and a cheap zoom I borrowed from my friend. I photographed only in daylight for the first 2 years because I could not afford flash gear and worked hand held because I also could not afford a tripod.
