Pop Sonality

📸 @donstevie_street shares with Pop Sonality some tips for aspiring photographers!    I’d get the settings sorted first  Generally I'd say learn the implications of your exposure triangle, your aperture, wide aperture (small f number) more light, narrow aperture (larger f number) less light. That for a given focal length and distance from subject the wider the aperture, the shallower the depth of field (approx the area in focus, dof) the narrower the aperture the deeper the dof. You use your shutter (how long you leave your eye open for generally to freeze the action, that you should (try to) keep your shutter above the focal length of the lens (at least) 1/50th of a second for a 50mm for example (or 1/50 *crop value on a crop) Your ISO is the sensitivity of your sensor (or eye or film ) to light, low iso, low sensitivity, cleaner image, high iso, more sensitive, noisier image; that this can be used to support your shutter to freeze the action for the given depth of fiel...

 ⭐️ @salted_photos has the Pop Sonality!  Who are you? I’m Joni; too old for TikTok and too young to be your mother. I live in Tenerife North, Canary Islands. What do you do? Brand and lifestyle photographer but I switch to landscape and surf photography when I like to experiment. Influences and inspiration: The sea connects my work in general. I’m inspired by many artists but photography from the early 1900’s makes me want to dive into that particular moment in time. Works every time. ⭐️ @salted_photos tiene la Pop Sonalidad. ¿Quién eres?

Fotógrafa de marcas y estilo de vida, pero paso a la fotografía de paisajes y surf cuando me gusta experimentar.  Influencias e inspiración: El mar conecta mi trabajo en general. Me inspiran muchos artistas, pero la fotografía de principios del siglo XX me hace querer sumergirme en ese momento particular e...

 📸 @fotowanderex shares with Pop Sonality her 10 Tips for Aspiring Photographers: 1. Don’t be afraid to have your own style. Trying to force your photos to look like something you think is popular won’t be fulfilling or rewarding. It’s ok to think outside the box.  2. Ask for help. Whether it’s asking friends to model for you or asking for help with the editing process, you will go further with support and fresh eyes than you will all alone.  3. Don’t shy away from using your phone when it’s the only camera you have. They can still take great photos of an unexpected moment. 4. Try not to get bogged down in social media stats or likes. 5. Look at the work of other photographers and see what resonates with you. Allow yourself to be inspired by different styles.  6. Don’t be afraid to submit to open calls, publications, or galleries. Putting yourself out there helps you grow. 7. Experiment- with light, movement, color, flash, etc. You may find you have a talent for som...

  📸 James Brouwer 🇨🇦 shares with Pop Sonality his 10 Tips for Aspiring Photographers: My 10 “Rules” For Those Considering Art Photography.  I have been asked by Popsonality to devise a list of rules for photographers along the line of Martin Parr’s recent list for WePresent. Well, I’m no Martin Parr, and he’s pretty much said it all anyhow. At most I can suggest what has worked for me (an outdoor, digital photographer of scapes & things, not people). And I’m not providing “rules” per se; they’re somewhere between musings and Eno-esque “strategies”. Take ‘em or leave ‘em: 1. Look / learn / love visual art. As per Mr. Parr’s initial rule, it really pays to appreciate what other photographers have done, find what works for you, and then see what happens when you bring that influence to your own work. I would only add that it helps to look beyond canonical photography to painting, collage, sculpture, film, vernacular photography, etc. All of vision can influence your eye, a...
