INSPIRATIONS
(^02) SiSterS in Blue By laura Benvenuti
“I took this picture during a lifestyle family
session, in Tahiti. Two of the girls had
these beautiful matching blue dresses.
I positioned them on the floor, climbed up
one of the outside stairs and shot from
above. I used natural light and a Speedlite
in a white umbrella on the top right to get
this photograph.”

(^03) Shared moment By udayan Sankar Pal
Udayan tells us “This scene evokes the
sentiment of warm moments I shared
with my grandmother.” It’s such a heart
warming, candid image with a strikingly
cool colour palette.

“The colour scheme for this shoot was
influenced by the movie Tron. I used
flashes with red and blue gels to create
the striking complementary colours, but I
had to be careful as these had a tendency
to be overpowering,” says Dominic.
