~ Photography Course with Irving Solero ~

Thursday, August 26, 2010

I was quite happy to find that there was a new photographer arrived in town (about a year ago now). We first met at a Connexions event whilst enjoying the well organised Wine Walk. Since then, we have talked shop, exchanged ideas and have enjoyed sharing our love of photography. One day I hope to have him share his dark room skills with me so I can develop myself the rolls of 120 film I’ve taken on my Hasselblad.

Irving knows photography and cameras inside out and back to front. Having moved from New York with his lovely wife, he is now teaching again here in Basel. Are any of you interested in a photography course? Lots of my clients ask me for such things and I can wholeheartedly recommend Irving. You don’t have to have a DSLR, just a camera that has manual settings (so no iphone cameras!). If you want to make the most of your camera this is a great place to start.

Here are the details:

Photography Course: Part 1
Course leader: Irving Solero

Would you like learn how to take better photos?
What do all those little settings on your camera do?

This was a very popular course in May so we are delighted that we can offer it again.
The course is aimed at anyone who would like to learn more about their digital camera and discover their own creativity by learning to see differently through a digital camera lens.
You will learn about the different functions on your camera, tips and techniques on how to take better photos and much more. Some of the sessions will be outdoors.
The course will be 4 consecutive evenings of 2 – 2.1/2 hrs. The start time will be 19.00 or 19.30. The total cost is Chf 175. Maximum 8 people.
The course dates will be Tuesdays Sept 7, 14, 21 & Oct 5. There will be an additional date which will be a make-up date for missed sessions.
A digital camera that has manual settings as well as automatic is required.

Please sign up now to guarantee a place.
Please contact Irving directly at isolero@hotmail.com

NB Details for the part 2 course will follow shortly

~ Beautiful Baby Bump ~

Friday, August 20, 2010

This was a dream maternity session, beautiful mum to be: check! handsome dad to be: check! willing to go with my creative eye: check! They had a beautiful flat full of inspiration, including a nice little balcony that they were willing to be out on in their undies. A keen yoga bunny, this mummy was looking fabulous and you would never guess she was only a month away from giving birth. Thanks for a great session, here are a few sneak preview images:

~ In and around Basel ~

Thursday, August 12, 2010

Because the places you live have memories. To have records of you all together in your favourite places. Or, just because..

Last Saturday, I went on a little tour of Basel with this gorgeous family. Last time I saw them, I was raving away with a glow stick in hand in the Elizabethen Church, realising a dream of the birthday boy (daddy!). The boys were just so good and did a really good job walking all over town on a Saturday to get some lovely family shots.

We started at the Munster:

Enjoying the views:

Hijacking the Orange cinema seats:

Walking together down the beautiful streets:

We also played at the Rathaus and then finally ended up at my favourite spot in Basel. Just love these streets and the views of the rooftops up above Bafusserplatz:
