Making photographs as opposed to taking photographs. There is
a difference in this two. Good photographs are taken, great photographs
are made. With all the melee and excitement directed at a final image
few
people ever wonder what it takes to produce the moment. However, there
are photos that when taken are just as good as those made. The following
images show the steps and journey to the creation of a masterpiece. It
started out well
with the event ongoing and led to the conception of a great idea.
Arrived midway through the event |
Had to look for a way through the crowds |
Shot of the ceremony and graduation square from a vantage point |
End of ceremony; distinguished guests arrive |
Graduands milling around while the ceremony was going on |
Guests, parents and business men and women were at work. |
The exodus |
While we waited to create the shot we worked shooting various people and scenes |
We waited |
people took their time leaving |
but the guests were seemingly busy and filed out fast |
still we waited.... |
and got pissed waiting |
but we did some pro bono work for few friendly faces |
we made friends |
and met and shot a band doing what they do |
then the shoot started |
trying out various poses |
and clumsy antics |
when the coast was clear prepping started |
the location was not perfect but it was ideal |
we had to scout for something that suited the intended desire |
makeup and clothes were models own hahaha |
Perfecto!! |
find here the final masterpiece
after we scouted alternate spots |
and created mementos of a lifetime |
it is befitting to say the lens and the model were in-sync |
and the day ended on a high. |
