Continuing my street photography project with a walk one morning through the Italian city of Como. To move quickly and freely I filmed this as a Point of View. I got some interesting images as I continue to try and learn a new style of photography.
A stunning sunrise over the city of Como in Italy meant that I had a fantastic landscape photography shoot, capturing the vivid pinks of a glorious sunrise! The whole landscape was painted in a pink hue that made the hike up, early in the morning worth every step. A series of images of the city illuminated and bathed in pink light.
Fed up with staying in the apartment, I decided to scout out some new landscape photography locations by hiking the hill from Como to Brunate. The view from the villages were fantastic and I was able to think about an image that I would like to get in the future…
Struggling with photography block, unable to pick up my camera and feeling unmotivated to take pictures, I gave myself a challenge to spend one week with one lens: my canon 50mm f1.8. I had to explore different styles of photography, including street and documentary photography. Everyday I went out and took some pictures, let’s see how that went…
A discussion about creating an authentic voice or style in youtube and in photography. I’ve been struggling with ways to make my youtube channel stand out and appear unique to myself, so I made this video where I discuss the ideas that I’m having and why it is difficult to find your own style.
I went straight to photograph the Temple Volta in the Park in Como, Italy today. I knew I wanted to get some landscape photography done with this temple as my subject both illuminated at night and with some natural light. The night images had to be created using exposure blending in Photoshop, but turned out brilliant. And I was treated to a very colourful sunrise!
Heading through Como once again, I couldn’t see any architectural compositions but once I made it to the park on the shores of Lake Como, I found my subject: the trees illuminated by the street lamps. The perfect subject for some black and white landscape photography. A great morning of photography!
An early morning wandering through the streets of Como, Italy, I was looking for subjects to photograph. The dramatic lighting of the street lights on the old Renaissance architecture leant itself to some interesting street photography. I made it to a viewpoint on Lake Como where I got some great classic landscape photography images.
