Proof That You Don't Need Expensive Cameras To Take Beautiful Photos

My friend Linny, a very talented photographer at Linny Foerg Photography recently shared this on her Facebook page. It was only last week that we were discussing in detail how silly it seems when people make a big deal about needing expensive cameras in order to get a good photo. An expensive camera does not make a great photographer. Talent outshines equipment. This is a great example.

At the bridal party's behest, photographer Kim A. Thomas shot the entire wedding using her iPhone 4s and the photos are beautiful!

Photography: Sunflare

When I started this blog my friend Kristin and I did a little digital photoshoot in the field near my home. I posted the unedited photos she took of me... and subsequently lost the SD card. Well, it showed up recently and I finally got to do the Photoshop magic I have been wanting to do with the photos I took of her. The photo editing I did has little to no "corrections"- Kristin is gorgeous just the way she is! Besides I like my subjects to look real. The photo editing I did added sun flares and adjusted the color balance and lighting. In all honesty, now the photos look a lot closer to how the light actually was falling at our sunset photoshoot. With a day's worth of work, I am super happy with how they have turned out- so editorial chic!

Enjoy!

Leather shorts, vintage thrifted sequin top, jewelry- Kristin's own.

If you want to learn how to do sun flares in Photoshop Cheryl Chu has a great tutorial that can give you similar effects, but remember each photo is unique and the lighting you use makes a huge difference.

Thanks Kristin!

Inspiration: Louis Vuitton Collage

Louis Vuitton Collage by selenamarie318 for Kindred Closetson Polyvore

I love the dreamy quality of these semi-sepia tone photos. I'm not a huge fan of Louis Vuitton- I don't usually like designers who plaster their names all over everything. I prefer not to be a walking billboard (without getting paid for it!). However, I feel like these ads sort of tell a story and that resonates very well with me.

Are there any ads you particularly love?
