JTIONOWIDJAJA PHOTOGRAPHY

Alright, I'm trying not to get too excited about starting this up, because the last thing I want is to expect too much out of it. But talking to an inspiration of this field the other day, made me realize how possible this all became to me. It was about learning and getting the ropes on a business. I'm not one of knowing anything about businesses, but I know feeling inspired and motivated was the best place to start in this! I'm going to take this slow, and hopefully once I've got a more dynamic range of images in my portfolio, I can share it with people who can appreciate my work. Getting offered to contribute to an online music magazine to the genre that I love and breathe, is easily the most uplifting things that has happened to me this month! Hopefully I can use it well in the next two months, getting access to shoot photos at gigs that I normally wish I could go to alone is the perfect way to improve my skills but meet a whole bunch of new exciting people. Concert Photography is on it's way. But so is the opportunity to expand this photography to wherever I want to go!

JTIONOWIDJAJA PHOTOGRAPHY is starting, and I wanted to save this printscreen to see how it all started. Thanks for reading. x

Tonight Alive

On the 18th October 2011, I drove straight from work to YMCA HQ Leederville to see 10PAST6, Monuments, Rufio and Tonight Alive. It was the first time I decided to bring my DSLR to a concert, and I don't regret it for a moment. Remembering the moments through a snapshot is just as amazing as recording a whole concert. Unfortunately I only had the option of standing on one side, covered by some bystanders seeing as I hadn't considered myself a professional. But after taking these shots tonight, without editing, and also having Jenna McDougall (Singer of Tonight Alive) tell me that my photos looked great.

Judgement, is what we've learned to see.

Best feedback about band photography is when their singer says this. Thank you Jenna.

 Watch this space. For now, what a way to start off my dream to being a Live Music Photographer.

Last One Standing

This one received my first complimentary comment on Flickr. It deserves it's own entry to remember this moment! Thank you so much for supporting my photography. It means the world to me :) x

Caleb's First Birthday

I'm slowly starting to spread special moments through my work. It's a nerve racking process, as I bite my tongue to what others will think of it. But after being invited to my cousin's boy's first birthday, and asking specifically for me and my camera, I have never felt as honoured.

 

Here's my Flickr. I hope you enjoy the portfolio that will continue to grow and hopefully improve :) 
Happy Birthday Baby Caleb x

Cumulus Cloudscape

Whenever I get the chance to take my camera out, it has given me so many opportunities to remember the beautiful moments and scenery of this life. Clouds have been the reason for my love to landscape photography, the colours, depth, shape, shadow and power it gives even though it moves so slow it seems so still, yet it can cause the most horrific events.  Saturday Midday I walked to Point Walter with my Canon 600D & EF 10-22mm to take these photos.

Hope you enjoyed my October walk, and hope to take more when I get the chance. x
