Review: Blender App for I-phone

    The Blender App from apple I-phone 

Is a great photography tool that I have used both for my phone pictures and my

Photography pictures. It allows you to blend two pictures together. 

     It is a free app, and well worth the space on your phone if you want to do some cool special effects to your pictures....

Illumini- Amateur vs Phofessional Photography

      

       Any idiot with a camera can claim these days to be a photographer. The digital
age of cameras can give anyone the ability to take pictures of high clarity at just the
push of a button. The options that these camera's give, allow a person to take out red
eyes and to enhance it to an acceptable level.  The knowledge of film development not
even needed anymore as film itself if becoming a lost commodity. Nope all it takes now
is a camera, a computer, and a good printer.

      But lets dive in deeper, past the equipment and knowledge of development that don't
trivially matter anymore.  Lets get into "What exactly is Photography".

     Photography is not simply about taking pictures. Photography is an Art-Form. It isn't
about simply capturing moments, it is about capturing an image that gives the person
looking at it a Strong Emotional Response. It captures something so unique or beautiful
that one can not help but to stare at it.

     A real Photographer will take 100 pictures to find the one that will be worthy of his
collection. He will spend hours to get the few worthy pictures, discarding the rest. His
passion is not for the Quantity of pictures taken, but instead for the Quality of the few
that are accepted.

    Photographers are like artist. They understand that pictures of almost anything can
have a place in the role of art. I recently saw a unique collection of BDSM photographs
that were amazingly done with a huge amount of artistic value. A true art lover respects
all value in art and respects the pushing of limits within it. 

    In short, Photography has no limits anymore. Its content is from one end of the spectrum
to the other with a huge amount of followers that will always like what a person decides
to photograph. One is a photographer when they look to capture the "Ah factor" and
give that wonderful gift to the world........ That is PHOTOGRAPHY.....

Photography meets Graphic Design

 

      The cool part about photography these days is that it almost
always coincides with Graphic Design. One that is a good Photographer, but lacks the Digital Graphic Design capabilities, will soon find himself out of touch with the demands of the customers.

   For example. I just booked a Wedding that I will be photographing in August. The Groom asked me if I could
add his mother, who passed away 2 months ago, in the background in the sky of one of the pictures, as if she was looking down on them in approval of their big day.

   The ability for me to do this will tremendously add to the
thankfulness and to the continued memory of his mother. This is
hugely important to him, just as other Graphic Design work in pictures are to other clients. As Photographers not even death can stop our passion, we must look at all avenues, not for financial gain, but instead for the lifetime memories that our Photo's produce, and the happiness that they give........

  

   

Big Spring Park Series

         This was my first Photography Session. I wanted to capture water and parks. So I chose The Big Spring Park at Downtown Huntsville, Alabama.

Preston Photography Is Now Illumini Photography

       For those who have followed my work until now, I thank you
tremendously. To those of you who believed in me, I owe you everything.

       Now is the time though for the next chapter in my life. My awakening so to say.... Now is the time for a new name to signify a new vision. Preston Photography lacked a certain appeal in name, so now I have renamed and reinvented my business.

             We are now.........ILLUMINI PHOTOGRAPHY

Illumini...... The Art of Acceptance

 Illumini......The Art of Acceptance with-in ones self. The Decision to come out and 
                             be the person one is inside, no matter the opinion of family, friends, religion, or
                             society.

                                 
                                 The acceptance of others and of all life, with all of the uniqueness that each
                             individual life has to offer. 

                                 
                                 This is the Basis of Illunimi..... Acceptance. 



 
                   WE are all ART, We are all CANVAS....
