LightDrawing

Its a simple and fun thing that every one can do with SLR cameras.
All you need is a tripod, wireless remote control for camera and sparker or something alike .
You also need to find a dark space with no light at the background.


How to do?

1. Setup your camera with tripod. 
2. Set your camera on bulb mode.
3. Go in front of your camera holding sparker and wireless remote.  
4. Press and hold the remote then start drawing something on air with your sparker.

Note: I didn't have wireless remote for my camera that time, but I had my girlfriend to press and hold the Camera button for me. ;)

On the street .... my mom at Kapadokya, isn't she cool?

Kapadokya - TURKEY

In Grand Bazaar - Istanbul _ Turkey

Grand Bazaar in Istanbul is one of the largest and oldest covered market in world. 

Turkish name of Grand Bazaar is Kapalıçarşı which means "covered market" or "covered bazaar". 

In my opinion who ever visits Istanbul, must see this historic place. 

In a must see place, there are always must buy items. Silk and cashmere scarfs are every where in every color, every pattern.  

More expensive scarfs and materials are usually inside the store. 

The cheeper scarfs (still good quality) are outside the store for display.

On the street ... in Istanbul around Galata Tower

I was walking around with my girl friend, and were trying to find a place but we got lost AGAIN...

How ever she had her Camera and she wanted to take some people photos in Istanbul.

We found this boy sitting on the ground and my girlfriend took a photo of him.

I liked it, and then edited it by LightRoom on my free time.

Structure of my new course.

Fashion Styling and Photography

This unique course provides you with an integrated knowledge of the various aspects of fashion styling and photography. It presents an exciting educational experience that incorporates cultural studies with creative practice. The programme will enable you to develop an enquiring mind and a range of specific transferable professional as well as personal skills. Technical and professional skills are nurtured alongside creative and conceptual initiatives, and through practical and theoretical assignments you will develop an understanding and a critique of fashion as image and cultural product.

You will follow a programme of core studies in practical styling and photography and these are linked together through a series of lectures, demonstrations and practical assignments. Personal and professional development including communication, negotiation, team working, networking and studentship skills are measured and assessed in conjunction with core subject skills, in the interests of an overall learning experience that is relevant and useful.

Cultural and contextual studies support and inform this development through project work that is largely textual. You are supported throughout this in a teaching and learning environment that is ultimately focused on your needs wherever possible. Students are encouraged at all times to identify and develop their own working methodology and style against a backdrop of a professional establishment that is constantly ready and waiting to be pushed, surprised and transcended. In the final year, you will complete your Final Negotiated Project that will focus on either fashion styling or photography.

Style hunting London - Brick Lane

My First time in StillLife studio.

I call this the fruit photo shoot.
The stylists idea was to combine the colors of the fruits and vegetables with garments or accessories. I helped her on setting the layout to get the best result on the photograph.

Camera I use

The quality of the image is depending on photographers skill with the camera ''Be in control of your camera''.These days the companies are producing lots of new thec camera that almost can do any thing. I'm a Nikon user and I'm using Nikon D2X (5yr old), I'm really happy with it. I think its just what I need, no more no less just D2X, since 80% of my work is in studio I don't need a camera that can do every thing for me. So far D2X gets the job done.

For those who will ask ''why don't you use film camera?'' cuz I cant just bother chancing films in the middle of photo shoot.
