Perspective (reflection)

point of view-perspective-mirror-reflection-white rock-white rock- — For this image, I believe the term “perspective” is a good representation of what I would say I can relate which reminds me of how we discussed in class about our perspective on other peoples situations from the outside looking in, but as we get a closer look we become much more understanding. Not everyone is able to change their perspective on the matter at hand, you need to be open-minded as opposed to being narrow-minded and not open to change or the possibility of being wrong. It can be more difficult for some people compared to others.

Power (eagle)

bald eagle-bird-photography-white rock-surrey-photographer-photograph-photo-wings-bald-canada-britsh columbia-nature-wildlife-feathers-sky-blue- — When I see this photo I immediately think of three things; Power, Patience, and Focus. The reason I think of power is that the bald eagle has always been seen as a powerful bird and is intimidating to most other birds. They can be rather ruthless at times as well. The reason I think of patience is that in order to take this photo I was holding my camera for over two hours to capture this image and how it’s always worth the wait. When it comes to thinking of focus it’s because in the case the eagle is the only focus in the image and that there can be so much around us but if we block it all out and only focus on what matters we can have a much clearer view on life.

Life and Death (time exposure)

To me, this image reminds me of life and death in the sense that if you’re not careful and you don’t take a moment to take in your surroundings you can miss it in a blink of an eye. If you moved the tripod it could mess up the whole shot which equivalent to making a small decision in life and why it’s always important to have a plan before making any what could be minor decisions at the time but in the big picture, they could have many ripple effects for things in the future.

Ward’s Marina Sunset

Nearly a month ago I came across a marina along Crescent Road known as Ward’s Marina and each and every time I’ve been there I’ve got some truly breathtaking shots.

Bokeh Shots in South Surrey/Vancouver

May 20, 2019May 21, 2019 ethandphotography

Bokeh; Comes from the Japanese word- [bokel) is the aesthetic quality of the blur produced in the out-of-focus parts of an image produced by a lens. Bokeh has is defined as “the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light”. If I were to put it simply, it means to have the foreground of the image in focus and the background blurred.

Silhouettes at Sunset – Family Photos in White Rock, BC

March 4, 2019 ethandphotography

Candid Family Photoshoot in White Rock, BC.

Book your half hour candid photo shoot at White Rock during sunset. The first three sessions booked are $75 introductory rate. After that the regular rate is $100.

Here are a few photos that I got from my first session.

In Frame: Kama Money (Ethigal Blog)

“I hired Ethan to take some photos of my son and I for a blogging contract with Explore White Rock and Kid Approved BC. I needed some high quality content that showed us enjoying the area despite the pier being broken after a storm. The economy of White Rock has struggled since the storm and our aim was to show that it’s still a great spot for families to explore together with its beach and stunning sunsets.

Ethan’s mom owns a daycare and he wasn’t phased at all when my son had a bathroom emergency and then got into a bad mood. Ethan stayed calm, kept his sense of humour and level of patience that I REALLY appreciated. It’s embarrassing for moms when kids are being difficult and I appreciated Ethan’s understanding. Once the little guy was feeling better, we were able to continue on with the photoshoot and get some fantastic shots. Funny enough, my son said he wants to become a photographer like Ethan when he grows up! I’d highly recommend Ethan D. Photography for unposed, authentic family photos and content creation on White Rock beach.”
