carina romano photography

Me and Amanda shot a wedding at Bartrams Gardens on Saturday. As we were scouting for locations, I shot this image of Amanda. I’m also teaching basic photo lessons, and am at the point where I’m describing different qualities of light. As I was looking up photos of sunsets and silhouettes, I forgot how much I like those images. I think I try to hard to always have a “technically correct” image, in terms of tonality, but I realize that it’s not always necessary to make a beautiful image. I’m also not saying that I find this image to be particularly striking, but it is a quality of light that I don’t take into account very often.

Some of my friends are in a band called Porchfront Factorye [link], and they’ve been on tour for some time now. I was able to see them play twice while I was away in Minneapolis, and it was wondrous! I highly suggest you check them out.

Typically I blog about my own photos, but in this post, I’d really like to highlight a photographer whose work I’ve grown to love. Jeff Brouws; [link]. I’ve never met the man, but maybe someday I’ll try to. I just recently re-discovered his work (a long time ago I saw a book by him, but paid it little regard), and was shocked to see how much his landscapes and scenery photographs are exactly what I want mine to look like.
