Photography 101 Infographics

Few days ago Photographydegree.com came up with an interesting article named Photography 101 and great photography infographics on their website. I really liked the infographics and decided to translate it into Azerbaijani language for my young, fellow photographers who do not speak English. I tried (really tried) to contact the Photographydegree.com for asking their permission to translate the inforgraphics in Azerbaijani but unfortunately the web site's contact form was not working and kept posting a message "Failed to send your message. Please try later or contact the administrator by another method" (but there were no another way I could contact the website). So I took the liberty of translating the text on this infographics in Azerbaijani language without of course altering any design and/or copyright elements.

"Studio Photography Basics" workshop results

A couple of weeks ago, I held the "Studio Photography Basics" workshop in Baku and it was great! There were professionals and hobbyists who wanted to learn to control lighting within the studio environment to create beautiful portraits. We had a camera linked to a computer and video projector so the class could follow along with test shots, settings, editing etc. Participants found this very helpful. The studio along with the equipment, lighting, sets, props and backgrounds was kindly provided by the OR-MV studio. Special thanks to our gorgeous model Dasha who volunteered for this workshop and did an absolutely amazing job. Here are some photos taken by the workshop participants.
