Pictures by Breno Loureiro. Artistic Pictures.

 The artistic photo transcends technique,  goes beyond what is right or "wrong" in photography. I love this kind of picture, because I feel free to express myself ...  I feel free to show my artistic side. Whenever I shoot artistic photos of objects, people or landscape. Since I ventured in the photography industry, I take artistic photos, I practice my emotional side and do what I want with photography, experiment new light sources, new angles and new camera settings. It is awesome be yourself and express your thoughts in your pictures.

Artistic photography is the art to take photography in an unconventional way, where there is not a care to portray reality. Goes beyond that. The photographer records the theme in a way that transcends the ordinary. Puts their emotion, their expression and their perspective of the world in the image he/she produces. Just as a painter, a sculptor or any other artist does.

To make artistic photos, the first thing to do is try to learn as much as possible about the equipment you are using, there is some very modern equipment and professional digital camera, and even a cell phone camera or tablet.

Even though it is an artistic photo, you need to get to really know what you are doing. It is very important because as the artistic photos tend to escape the common place as regards the environment or exposure to light, to have dominion over the equipment will allow you to further explore and hence better results. Be artistic and professional at the same time.

Pictures by Breno Loureiro. Painting with Light

This is a photograph area that I like very, very much ... I think it is intriguing, interesting, motivating and magical. It’s nice to have absolute control of light in your photo. I'm improving myself more and more in this type of photography.

To paint with light you need a light source, a dark environment, and adjust the camera in manual mode to place a very slow capture rate, seconds or minutes of exposure. In the dark it's harder to focus, so ask someone to press the shutter button halfway to focus, while you hold the lantern at the point where it will do the drawing. Or you can focus with the light on, turn on the timer, trigger the shutter and delete the ambient light before taking the picture. You can change the color of the lantern in front of you, just put cellophane, tissue paper, or colorful market bags, although there are also today lanterns that allow you to change the color of light.

The technique of painting with light requires a bit more advanced equipment. Cameras with long exposure capabilities are essential, since the design is not done in fractions of a second. Thus, exposure modes of several seconds or even the "Bulb" (when the camera maintains exposure while the shutter is not released) greatly facilitate the life of the light painter.

Two accessories are also great allies Light painter: the tripod and remote shutter release. The first serves to keep the camera still and in the correct position during the exposure time, while the shutter - cable or infrared - helps reduce vibration in the camera and easy to carry images even when you are alone.

Pictures by Breno Loureiro. Jewelry

The macro photography is a photography business that interests me a lot. I like to see things with new perspectives. I like to shoot landscapes and architecture, but the macro photography, which is a completely opposite branch also attracts me. In this photo I took, we can see the details of the gold bracelet, do with all clarity its beauty and grandeur. Gold is a precious stone that represents power, brightness and nobility. For a long, long years, gold only belonged to nobility. Today gold is more affordable to almost everyone, but still the largest gem and beautiful jewelry belong to nobility, because in addition to bringing nobility, is also a form of investment.

The macro photography is the photography industry designed to capture details in images of small objects for small living things, often invisible to the naked eye.

Fundamentally shooting a subject with close proximity it is not really of macro photography, which is characterized by the photographic image magnification feature. There are a number of equipment used in macro photography, as lenses and magnifiers.

The macrophotography are shown enlarged for greater visual impact and better display of captured details. The scale used for capturing images macro is natural to about ten times higher.

The photograph need not necessarily be captured from a close proximity of the photographed object, an image obtained from a telephoto lens can also be adjectival macro as if they are presented clearly photographed object details with the naked eye and clearly.

Pictures by Breno Loureiro. Taking pictures of people.

When we think of taking pictures of people, our goal is always to make them more beautiful. Shooting is always a challenge, but photographing individuals is much more difficult.

Unlike anything we usually shoot, on most occasions, the photographed not know what to do to help the aesthetics of the image. A professional fashion contributes as much as the photographer for the beauty of what will be captured.

Some not professional photographers can take beautiful, high-quality photos, but the ideal is to know some essential concepts of photography. It’s important to study, to read, to get familiar with all the tools of photography.

I've always had trouble shooting people, find it easier to shoot landscapes, architecture; because I find it difficult to photograph people, I am dedicating more and more in this area of photography. I am good in what I do. If shoot people makes me unconfordable, I am goning to change the game, and make people my allies.

I I developed some "technical" for shooting people: the main reason is the person I am shooting, so do not be afraid to get close, watch photo background, especially when photographing people, use a zoom lens for ordinary people, be confident, practice some poses, focus on eyes, make sure if someone blinked, be kind to the photographed, look for natural light or have a good artificial lighting.

I will dedicate part of my portfolio in photographing people with natural light or photographic studio. Being good at some things is not easy, and I want to be the best, I just need to get involved and shoot with technique and emotion.
