Managed to sneek in a few quick landscape shots whilst at the adventure rider training course with Boulders off road riding academy. Stunning part of the country this.

Tasty treats and budget backdrops.

Food Photography is 95% mood, lighting, styling and layout. The actually technical camera skill is 5% maybe. This I learned taking these shots. My first real attempt at food photography so much more to learn as we go. Luckily I have a master baker Leeanne Pillay who is more than happy to supply me with opportunities to practice 😋

Also is a really fun way to make the mind stretch its creative muscles a bit. Pairing lighting with props and colour palettes. Mood to compliment the type of food.

Budget tip: Forget fancy backdrops, head over to China Mall and grab some marble look-alike tiles for R20.00. So many to choose from. They are a bit shiny. Next time I’m going to try a material backdrop. Waste Center or other material supplier shops in typically dodgy areas can set you up with awesome colours and textures to play with from R15/m. I’m doing the same in studio for portraits too. Save on props, spend on lenses 😄. Fools, we photographers are right?

A weekend of firsts for Mira and it’s been a blast trying to capture monochrome motion of the moments.

Metal music in all forms has always been one for the misfits. It’s community is a home for all those who think they don’t fit into ‘normal’ society. I suppose that’s why I gravitated towards it.

It’s not just noise. Listen to the lyrics (or Google them as often needed). A lot of it speaks to mental health. Well it does for me anyway.
