I recently teamed up with Brenda McGinnis owner of As You Wish Floral for a wedding flower inspiration photoshoot. The theme was coral flowers mixed with succulents and a little bit of turquoise.

Last fall I took a series of photos that I planned to make an HDR photo from. If you’re not familiar with what HDR is I’ll step you through the basics. A camera can only see so many shades of gray/color from dark to light. This is called a camera’s dynamic range and the more […]

Exploring more bokeh with day 3 of this year long photo project. Until the weather gets a little warmer here in Iowa there may be more abstract photos coming out of this then I had planned. Stay warm Iowa! – Alex McGinnis
