Beautiful Weather

Using seasons, weather and time of the day to enhance your photography

We are living in the world which changes every day, from dawn to dusk, from spring to winter and using nature’s pulse can enrich photography, from portraits to city photography, from landscapes to wildlife, particularly if you live in locations with wide variety of climate between the seasons.

Capturing photos in different seasons create unique combinations of lighting, colors, natural phenomenons, fashion and wildlife behaviors and looks.

Spring / Summer

Spring and summer have days with a lot of lights, flowers are blooming, vegetation is rich green.

It’s also time when animals are entering into a breeding season and you capture cubs and chicks and parenting behaviours. When doing that, please make sure about ethical wildlife photography, respecting distance, time, and animal privacy!
