The process of preserving a memory into a portrait is called photography.  Camera is the main tool as it has lens that captures the wavelengths of a certain image illuminated by the light.  Some people are on to photography because it's their hobby but there are some who are earning a living from it as well. Photography is basically an art.  The primary agenda of photography is to keep the story of a certain event for years to come.  A picture can narrate a story thus photography must be entertaining, too.  For a fact, when pictures were just taken in a random manner there is a tendency that the story of an event itself may not be visually expressed.  On the other side, when a photographer manipulates the whole creation of the photo - from lights to backgrounds to dresses, it will ruin the essence of the picture as well.  These realizations will give us the idea that photography is really a tough thing to master. Photography's history of progression had solely depends on technology itself.  It's very inspiring to see that the generations of photographers are coping up with the vast change.  If you would notice, some photographers are using the traditional camera for their masterpieces but many are also venturing to digital cameras.  In addition, there are some pinhole photographers that concentrate in the most complicated type of photography which is called as pinhole photography that entails a lot of creativity.  With all these variations, one could recognize that the changing time makes the greatness in photography possible. Many photographers are concentrating in a single niche of their preference.  For an instance, there is a photographer in Cardiff who deliberately concentrates in newborn baby pictures, prenatal bumps and children portraits.  Some adventurers are happily focusing their photography talents for the beautiful sightings in the environment. There are many sectors of study in photography and these sectors have different approach to the art as well.  For example, a photojournalist tells a story of some historical event.  A photographer Cardiff-based could also take pictures of a baby’s evolution of growth and development.  There are some commercial photographers who take pictures of products to sell it in the market.  Fine arts photography is another sector and it entails creativity to be able to depict a certain emotion to someone’s picture.  All these variations would tell us that our everyday hobby of picture taking had been taken seriously by others because photography should really be a serious matter.  You should remember that those are memories you’re preserving and time would just pass by but photos will be kept for you to reminisce. ************************************************************************************************** ************************* These articles are written by independent writers and do not express the views of The Village Studio Cardiff. ************************************************************************************************** *************************

The Magician known as Cardiff Photographer First birthdays are very special. Not just for the birthday kid but also for the parents as it’s a feeling of utmost happiness to see your little one take the first step towards becoming a boy. And of course, for all these reasons and more, you would want it captured in your memories for ever. There was this birthday party I had attended at Cardiff, where the emotions I have shared above were all present, but then a few weeks later when we re-grouped to see some photographs, we were sadly greatly disappointed! The photographs just didn’t do justice, and am sure a lot of people here can relate to this. Hence, when it was my turn to throw a party and celebrate my daughter’s first birthday, I was sure I would ask no less. My husband’s brother recommended us to a nearby photographer at Cardiff itself, and I do trust his judgment, and I hired him. This photographer from Cardiff turned out to be as skilled in his area of expertise as anyone I have ever seen before. The first surprise was he was actually before time, but this he said was because he wanted to take photographs of not just the party but of the place that was decorated for the party as well. These minute details though came out very well. During the party as well, he was just not intimidating. For group photos he would wait patiently and then ask our permission, and help us be ready. And then there were the other impromptu photographs, which did come out the best. Of course, my baby girl’s photographs just exceeded our expectations. She can be a bit cranky when she meets a stranger, and especially in front of the camera. Plus there were so many people and I was always on my toes so I knew it’s just a matter of time before she loses her cool. But then I realized, one of the other reasons for the photographer to come in early was to at least acquaint himself with the baby, and make her comfortable with his presence before the guests turned in. And that worked wonders! It’s so difficult to make kids smile, but in these photographs, she is smiling in most of them! If I could say so, I would say it’s almost like he has a magical touch, a charm that this photographer from Cardiff spuns around the camera! ********************************************************************************* These articles are written by independent writers and do not express the views of The Village Studio Cardiff. *********************************************************************************
