Frozen

I always wanted to do a shoot with the movie theme "Frozen". One of our little models at the workshop loves "Frozen" and had her dress on, so I got my opportunity.

I presented a workshop on portraits and lighting. This was one of the images I got at the workshop. Thank you to all the people and models who participated.

Head Shot

Emma Booysen Photography

As I was preparing for the workshop I will be presenting, I revisited some of the images I took on a previous workshop I presented. It can sometimes be challenging to get nice head shots with reaction.

New Born

Emma Booysen Photography

A week in the studio will not be the same if I don’t have a few new born’s visiting the studio.

Gulls

Emma Booysen Photography

Composition is always playing a role in photography. I had two images of these gulls – this one where they are facing each other and the other they were facing the same direction. I felt that this one had the more impact.

Sleeping Baby

Emma Booysen Photography

This little one came for her two month shoot. As she was sleeping we dressed her as a tortoise.

Sunset

Emma Booysen Photography

I revisited some of my archive holiday photos and discovered this one. It was during our 2008 Cape town holiday.

It is amazing how fast babies grow up. It feels like just the other day I photographed his six month shoot and now he is already crawling.

The well known Taj Mahal is located in Agra, India. It was built in perfect symmetry.

Tomatoes

Emma Booysen Photography

Tabletop photography helps to practice some lighting techniques, such as these tomatoes dropping into a water jar to light up the water.

Mydi & Ipeleng had their wedding at Tuscan Rose. As usual, my favorite time of the day is at sunset.
