Weddings: Bros

At a wedding, the groom needs support. This is what his best men are for. That and looking good and tough together.

Weddings: Superstar

There is a rule that applies each and every time: a wedding must have a superstar. And also each and every time, that superstar is the bride herself. She is the center of the event and all eyes are on her.

The "Wow!"

How do you know you did your work well? A spontaneous "Wow!" from the client when seeing the resulting prints is a good indicator of it. And rewarding in itself for you.

Event photography website

The 2015 season for event photography is approaching fast, those who are not ready for it, should get soon. As part of my preparations, I updated my event photography website with a new, simpler and more beautiful design and, more important, with current sample photos. Have a look and if you like what you see, we can talk, maybe I can make you an interesting photography offer.

Awake

From the unfriendly light in The Silver Church, here is Awake in concert.

Shifting Sands

From a photographic point of view, where the light is of the essence, The Silver Church is the worst. Actually, most likely there are worse places with no light at all, but you got the point. Important was the performance delivered there by Shifting Sands, which deserved better support.

Canon Day

Last Sunday, Canon Romania organized a big event, called 'Canon Day'. The first thing in the morning was an opportunity to play with some Canon gear. I was really impressed by a 600mm tele lens: it is very sharp and really makes distances disappear. Unfortunately, at that time there were no more interesting subject to shoot around. I wish I had more often a use case for such a lens (and, of course, the money to afford it).

Later in the day, we could attend workshops on different photography genres, I spent most of my time at the weddings workshop and some at the fashion one. Too bad one can't me in more places at the same time...

Pseudo-Holi

The Holi festival in India is spectacular, no wonder there are copycat attempts, like The Color Run which had the first Romanian edition in Bucharest. But those can't use the original religious theme of Holi, so they have to use something else, like a 5 kilometers run followed by a party. Still, the paint and get together are kept.

Nijikon 2013

A new edition of the anime convention Nijikon is taking place in Bucharest. I was there in its first day and found what it was expected to be found: costumes, a cosplay competition and a lot of goodies: manga, toys and so on. And, of course, a huge lot of anime fans.

Dragobetele sărută fetele

"Dragobetele sărută fetele" is Romanian for "Dragobete kisses the girls", where Dragobete is our local fertility holiday, pretty much alike Valentine's Day or Lupercalia, now used as a celebration of love. And for this holiday, there is a photo exhibition, now at the second edition, hosted by the Village Museum in Bucharest.

The tradition foe every exhibition opening is to serve the visitors some food ad drinks, the choice for food was interesting: bacon, onions and bread. I am not sure how the onions are related to kissing, you eat them before or after.

As for myself, I had two pictures accepted, one made last spring in the Herastrau Park, the other in the summer on the beach at 2 Mai.

Event photography portfolio website

It wasn't planned, just happened to be ready now, but is a cute coincidence to launch my event photography portfolio website on the Valentine's Day. Maybe is a sign :) But the important thing is, if you need event photography (be it a wedding, an anniversary, corporate event, spectacle or something else), I am open for commission. For the 2013 wedding season start now, is no much time left until the summer!
