#PhotoFriday Creativity With Simple Objects For Photography

#PhotoFriday Creativity With Simple Objects For Photography

A couple of years ago I participated in the World Wide Instagram Meetup that was held at Lake Eola in downtown Orlando. I met a lot of nice people and some great photographers. Some of which are major influencers on Instagram too. In this photo we were all using the crystal ball to create photographs of our surroundings that ended up changing what we are familiar with when it comes to Lake Eola to a new creative spin.

While photography has changed over the years and current technology makes it much easier to get into, the mainstay I believe is the artistry and creativity in photography. While anyone can take a photo, not everyone has the same level of creativity. And that’s what makes this such a great art form.

When I am hired to do photography, I almost never know what to truly expect. Sometimes the weather may not cooperate, venue changes last minute, kids aren’t in the mood, and other things to keep me on my toes. While I like it, it does make for interesting situations from shoot to shoot.

These photos are a good example of a family that took time to get dressed up really nice, kids included, and things just got out of hand and so much more fun as the session progressed.

Because there were so many kids present (more than what you’re seeing here) I informed the parents that they should through their expectations of the kids all cooperating at the same time out the window. Kids do what they want, when they want. And when you’ve got plenty of them together that are already used to playing around with each other, they’re surely not going to want to sit still.

Rather than show you the “posed” shots, these zany ones I felt captured more of who they are and the moments of fun they were having.

Best of DTO Open Ceremony is Tonight!

I’m a little late at posting this, but we’ve been slammed here at Dt HQ. Tonight in Downtown Orlando will be an open gallery of photos submitted that depict live, work, and play in and around Downtown. One of my photos is actually used on the flyer of the event and in Facebook. It’s in the top right corner of (street view) of Orange Avenue. If you’re looking for a fun night out of some awesome photography that is from cell phones to mirrorless to DSLR’s and more you’ll want to check this out.

What I like the most about this event is that is was open to everyone no matter what type of device they have for capturing a photo. This is all about being creative and capturing the City Beautiful. For more information check out their Twitter page or visit the main website or Facebook page. See you there!
