Hi Everyone!
My name is Nelly Ramos and I’m new here! I’m just beginning my photography journey 📸 I decided to learn because I want to create better content for my business and tell our story through photos. I just purchased my very first camera — the Sony ZV-E10 II 🎉 and I’m excited to practice, learn, and grow with this community. Looking forward to connecting with y’all and soaking up as much knowledge as I can! 🙌

Hi Nelly! Welcome welcome! So glad you’re here and you’re getting started with photography! What drew you to photography?
Engagement Shoot
I just did my first paid engagement shoot the other night and would love criticism/feedback on a couple of the pictures from it!

@Amy Borisuk my initial thought is around being intentional with choosing lighting - all of this is based off your eye and preference so there isn’t a “wrong” type of lighting to choose, but when working with direct sun we have to use it very intentionally, otherwise it can look accidental. So being aware of shadows and overexposure when working with uneven lighting. Bright sun can be the coolest tool to use as long as it’s used well! And with editing harsher sun wanting to make sure you watch the saturation of your colors and the way the sun impacts the tone and saturation!

Also I think your eye for framing is really strong! Love how you tried different things I know the more reps you get the more you’ll really find a groove! Framing is so crucial so way to go!
Social Media thoughts
I've been thinking a lot about social media, how it feels like Instagram punishes you via the algorithim if you post less, and just overall sharing in an authentic way. I'm tired of being on social media, but as a business tool it feels invaluable. I feel drained/discouraged by the idea, so hopeful for some tips/encouragement as to how to stay consistent, authentic, and use social media for the advantage that it genuinely is!!

Yeah I have been thinking more about good system around posting because creating is actually fun and what we’re good at! Posting just kills the joy sometimes - but systems can help! And I think I’ve let social media be both “work” and a “distraction” and I’d like to change that. Because when I’m on it for work I get distracted, and when I’m just killing time I feel like I should be working. I’d like to not let it be a distraction and just let it be a tool for work and be more disciplined so it doesn’t feel as draining. Still working on that though
Travel Photography
I’m currently traveling for work, and every time I travel I learn SO MUCH about traveling as a photographer. Would love to hear some of y’all’s favorite travel experiences and tips as a photographer! Or if there is something you’d absolutely recommend NOT doing! I feel like I have lots of those 🤦🏼‍♀️

So true! @Larry Kurfis I will never not bring gear even if I am not sure if i will “need” it!
Hi all
Thanks for the add to the group 🫶 I have been a professional photographer now for 20 years 😱 and still love photography. I am in the south of the UK I have had a studio, been through photographing many genres. But I have been an automotive photographer since 2014 and love it. Recently adding in fitness photography to. But I also end up photographing many genres still just from word of mouth and previous clients (it’s a powerful thing) today I have a family portrait on location ☺️
