A Spontaneous Photoshoot

Hello all,
I have a photography post today, and it was about time I posted the photoshoot I did on my best friend, Betty. Expect to see quite a few photoshoots of her on my blog and Instagram, because she is seriously a great model.
Anyways, we went to Somerset House a few weeks ago to visit the Sony World Photography Awards exhibition, and I was stunned by the work that was shown. There are so many extremely talented and amazing photographers out there, and they are truly a great inspiration for me. The time and effort that goes into their work just shocks me, and I hope to be nearly as great as them one day.
After wandering around the exhibition, as well the Saatchi Gallery, I wanted to do a small photoshoot. Does this happen to anyone else? I have this sudden urge to do a photoshoot there and then.

So here are a few photos:

Golden Hour

Golden Hour

7:03am


At 5:30am on 13th November, a few friends and I headed down to Virginia Water to go see the sunrise, which was at 7:03am. In terms of the sunrise, it wasn’t that great. I was hoping to see a beautiful sunrise with the sun shining bright, and a orange/pink sky. But expectations don’t always match up to reality. It was quite a cloudy morning, but instead of a vibrant sky, we witnessed extreme fog by the lake. I wasn’t let down at all. In fact, I really enjoyed seeing the fog slowly disappear, as well as the sky clearing up.
As we were in the midst of Autumn, I wanted to take advantage of the orange/brown and warm tones of nature.  I did a small impromptu photoshoot with my friend, Betty. Eventually, the sun also decided to come out, so it was the perfect lighting. So here are some  photos:

Faces of India

Here I am, back to blogging, after nearly 7 months. I clearly didn’t stick to the whole blogging system and posting regularly. But honestly after my Italy trip, nothing too interesting happened. However, I have accumulated all my pictures from last year and I am planning to create new blogposts (I promise).


Anyways, this blogpost is about the two trips I made to India last year. I went for two weeks during April/March, and recently in December/January 2017. During these two trips I wanted to explore India in a different way. I not only wanted to go to all the amazing places, but I also wanted to get to know more about the people there. During my summer trip to India in April, I went to many places near my hometown (Indore). For instance, I explored Maheshwar, Dhar, Mandav as well as Dewas. Going around those places, I came across many types of people. My second trip to India was during the winter time (which was honestly the best because their winter weather is like our summer in London). This time I went further away from my hometown, and more towards North India. This was an extremely long road trip – I went from Indore – Kanpur – Delhi – Haridwar. Although it was a long trip, it allowed me to keep a hold of my camera more and take pictures. Again, I wanted to take pictures of the people around me, but this time I wanted more candid shots. I took pictures of people as I was passing by, rather than stopping by.
I’m going to stop rambling and show a few of my favourite pictures:
