Photoshoot with Lana

Fri. June 4th 2010 1am

When you dabble in knitwear design and put out patterns, you are bound to put out pictures of your work. So far I have always done photography myself and it is really a learning curve for this amateur photographer. Today I want to give you a behind the scenes look. A model, a hair/make-up stylist, and an amateur photographer All of the models I have worked with in the past, are my friends. Most of the time, I will entice them with knitted goods, and they always are willing to work with me. Lucky me! For a photo shoot, somebody has to take care of hair and make-up. And again I am...

Pondering photography with models

Fri. September 5th 2008 5am

Every now and then, I play around with my camera. Just for fun, a photo here, a photo there, and lo and behold, I may use it for my blog. I mostly take pictures of flowers, yarn, knitting projects and finished projects in which I myself model the garment. Not an easy task because nobody is taking my picture when I pose for the camera. It is just me, the camera on self timer and my beloved tripod. Nobody takes my picture, I do it all myself. Which is getting quite annoying so I have been thinking of using models in the future.
