Hello to all my friends in the Black and White community, this is Menti, and I’m back with another blog and another photography session!”
Today, I want to talk about some recent photos I captured. This shoot took place near the famous water dam in our city. Honestly, this location, with all its beauty, was a real challenge for photography.
In the first photo, we see a heartfelt and intimate moment. The main challenge in this image was dealing with the intense sunlight. At this time of the day, the light was very harsh, so I had to carefully adjust the angle of the light to ensure both the faces were visible and the background light looked beautiful. Despite the challenges, the result was amazing, and this romantic moment was captured perfectly.
In the second photo, we see a joyful and dynamic moment. One person lifts the other, and the challenge here was to make sure their body movements were in sync to create the perfect shot. While fast-moving moments are always exciting, it took a lot of effort to capture the movement clearly and still show all the details.
The third photo shows a simple, romantic dance in the heart of nature. The challenge in this shot was to make sure every movement was spot on because the background was very bright, and I needed to ensure the light hit the faces and the movements just right.
In the fourth photo, we see just one subject, quietly gazing into the distance. These types of photos can be tricky because they require perfect balance and framing, especially when you have only one subject, and the emotion needs to come through strongly.
In the fifth photo, the couple walks hand in hand through nature, with the vast open space around them. This photo might look simple, but in reality, capturing a simple step in nature and showing the perfect harmony between the two people requires a lot of attention to detail and syncing of movements and framing.
All these photos were taken near the water dam, a place that has always been full of energy and inspiration for me. I’m so glad I could share these experiences and challenges with you.
