Read moreProject 52 Month 4 | Family Photographer San Clemente
So, while being a Family Photographer in San Clemente, I like to create things that are just for me, or as I call it, personal work. It's so good to make sure, as an artist, that you're shooting for yourself. It helps keep the creative juices flowing and also takes off the pressure to deliver something specific. You get to just play around with your camera and lenses and practice, experiment, create!
That's why I started my Project 52! It helped take, not only me, but other photographers, out of our normal routines, our comfort zones if you will. It makes us think a little differently, a little more creatively, maybe. It's fun and it's great getting to see everyone's different perspective on the weekly themes.
For the month of April, our themes were:
Week 13: Dream
I had recently purchased the Canon 85L lens, and it is SO DREAMY
Week 14: Spring
How can one not think of spring when you see a little birdy sitting in a tree
Week 15: Fresh
Fresh dew on a blade of grass
Week 16: Flowers
These are....mustard plants? They're normally very bright yellow, however, I altered them in post production just because.
If you're interested in seeing the other week's themes, you can check them all out here:
Month 1
Month 2
Month 3
