I think a prime lens is a must in any photographers pack. So purchased a 85mm f/1.2 L lens. I already have 50mm f/1.4 (not prime) so couldnt buy it in prime. So here is to purchasing the 85mm f/1.2.

It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.” This is what I feel a cinemagraph brings to a photograph, the mysterious.

If you ask my mom she would say I change too often. Move the furniture, paint the room different colors, change the style...I think I do all of that a little too much. Here is the new look to my blog. I think Im in love with it! :] Hopefully new change means new ventures!

The location wasn't set till the very last day. Carolina requested a flowery spot for her clothes but the only problem was that it was no longer spring and most of the blooms/flowers were dried up or gone. I began googling for flowers that have late blooms and came across only two: Bougainvillea and Roses. http://pavithraphotography.blogspot.com/2011/09/wild-rose-in-garden.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Pavithra)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-929677459392511654.post-1103117657688274406Wed, 31 Aug 2011 02:25:00 +00002012-01-30T19:38:27.424-08:00PhotoshootBTSEditorialBehind the ScenesJust wanted to drop by and share a quick behind the scenes look at the previous photoshoot. This is more of a Behind the scenes of the Photoshop work. The shoot was set so that we had the back light of the setting sun. In this case the models were positioned with the setting sun towards our left more than their back. So I had to placed the black diffuser to block light from hitting the models http://pavithraphotography.blogspot.com/2011/08/behind-scenes-with-each-cup-of-tea.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Pavithra)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-929677459392511654.post-7887869672527066066Tue, 30 Aug 2011 05:32:00 +00002011-11-01T20:48:17.409-07:00PhotoshootModelsEditorialportraitI wanted to share more from the recent shoot.
