Pictures by Breno Loureiro. Photojournalism.

Photojournalism is a photography business where information is clear and objective, through the photographic image, is essential. It can also be considered a specialization of Journalism. Through photojournalism, photography can display all their ability to transmit information. This information is transmitted by the framework chosen by the photographer before the fact. In printed communications, such as newspapers and magazines as well as the portals on the Internet, endorsement information through photography is a constant. For me, being a photojournalist is not an easy task, be willing to enter into conflict, get hurt or even die is to few photographers. Although it is very interesting, this profession needs a lot of knowledge of the region in conflict and courage. The conflict may be between neighbors or even a war. No matter the size of the conflict, the danger is imminent and take good pictures is important.

War or conflict photography is photographic images of armed conflict and military life in areas at war. Some photos can describe the terrors of the same alternated with acts of sacrifice. Contrary to paint and war drawing images based on real facts are not easily changed in the photographs. The photographers working in this filed of photography are sometimes injured or killed by recording images on the battlefield.

The most prominent photojournalist war was Robert Capa. Stands out especially in his work on the Spanish Civil War and the only existing images on the landing in Normandy on Omaha Beach. Some of the films exposed by Capa that decisive battle of World War II were poorly disclosed in the laboratory, losing invaluable war photography images.

Pictures by Breno Loureiro. Nudity.

Nudity photography is something very special for me, I can capture a female or male body in a way that it is gonna look flawless, and this is how I want my model to look like. It is not easy to take a picture of a naked body and not look cheap or vulgar. I like art, I like photography, I love art & photography together, when I can put those concepts together on the same picture I feel good… fulfilled…

Only after 1 year of school I feel comfortable in take nude pictures of people. I feel comfortable to show their bodies and the beauty that it represents. We born naked and the rest it waste of time. Feel free and beautiful is wonderful.

There was a time when it was believed that the photo stole the soul of the person portrayed. Obviously this is over: today we do pictures with the same frequency as we blink. We captured moments all the time - but only the good ones, and only after adjusting the angle and choose the exact filter.

From the pictures we found today, especially in Instagram and in other social networks, the impression we have is that the world has been in full ecstasy, a radiant joy and endless. A happiness which, often, we do not share. Note that by doing this editing, we edit life.

This also happens with the bodies. Magazine covers remind us how much we are imperfect, how are non-standard, how we are “ugly”.

Pictures by Breno Loureiro. Studio

Studio photography is one type of photography that I really like it. The power to adjust the light and to control the whole environment is very satisfying.  

Balance the lighting in the studio is one of the most important factors. Its main objective in the studio photography is the projection and the diffusion of light on the picture, illuminating the background and the model, or the object to be photographed.

Although you control the type and amount of light through the photometry, there are situations that the illumination should be adjusted according to the needs. It is important to evaluate whether to add a light cut, apply or take shade and work with light by the composition of the model, or the brightness of the object to be photographed.

A more direct lighting is responsible for creating sharp contrasts and shadows, since opting for a diffuse lighting, it will allow the interests of more homogeneous and controlled lighting, you can get using diffusers and reflectors. There are some great tecniques to photography in studio. Those tecnique are different depending in what you are taking the pictures: people, objects and food for example. 

Some lighting equipment: Softbox, reflective Umbrellas, Reflector. The choice of the studio or location to be used to take the pictures is of utmost importance. Observe the studio size, equipment, reflectors, backdrops, camera, natural light, etc.

Each object or person being photographed has its particularity, before starting the production process comply with the particularity and equip yourself with the best equipment.

Increasingly I am proficient in studio photography.
