Event Photography

This past week I was busy with event photography. Event photography is very different from portraits. Mainly because you really are not posing, your documenting the day or the event. This can sometimes be much tougher when it comes to lighting and background. It really requires that you know how to manipulate the camera to your advantage. However, event photography is always lots of fun. You meet so many new people from all over the world. Event photography also thrusts me into almost the position of a handler for the person whose event it is, or the celebrity present at the event. The most important part of this position is to befriend that person. Help them feel relaxed and calm. The best compliments I get after these events.... "it was like having my best friend with me," or "I feel like I have known you forever." Consider hiring Mazzotti Portraits for your next event.

Beach Portraits

This late afternoon or early evening I will be doing a beach photo shoot. I love these shoots especially when I have a family who doesn't mind getting wet and having fun. From surprising a sibling or parent with being splashed at the shore, to everyone being game to sitting on the shore and wait for an unexpected wave to come to them. There are so many opportunities to create a portrait that is truly showing the persons personality due to the candid and relaxed environment at the beach.

Thinking of doing a beach shoot.... call me up and get a free 11x14 for mentioning this blog.
