Blogging Anniversary, Texture Tuesday and some Ballerina Stories...

Today marks my blogging anniversary since it's my second year blogging as a DSLR owner. And without a question I'll take this opportunity to thank each and everyone of you who's joined me here on my journey. Thanks for being here!

I'm also very exited that I'll be releasing my third little texture collection very soon.
It's called 'Ballerina Stories'  I'm giving you a preview on one the textures in my collection along playing with my favorite texture from Kim Klassen.

Here is my little piece of textured art for today

  1. Hi Mona,
    I am an absolutely big Fan of your textured photos!
    I also love to edit my pictures.
    So I have a fundamental question:
    What is the important thing to prepare the shooting scene for textured pictures?
    Is your daughter sitting under a white soft curtain?
    Thanks for answering,
    many greetings!
    I am looking forward to you next wonderful pictures!
    Brigitte

    1. Hi Brigitte! Thanks for your kindest comment ♥
      The best way for me to get images that are easy to texture is to use a solid one colored background.
      I will be sharing some set ups in my upcoming posts! I took some pictures from this particular shoot :)
      That is actually a big white sheet I've hanged to my wall and she is sitting on it - it's big enough to cover closet behind and wooden floor. I have a very small house with small rooms - REALLY nothing to count as a studio :D So I always have to be quite inventive with my setups :D And I have two lams that are very essential since we get almost no daylight during winter.
      I hope this message finds you well and let me know if I can help in another way!

  6. Mona...I shoot in front of a south facing window most of the time...I don't do kids so I don't have to worry about natural skin tones, etc but I hear you about having to get creative

  7. You are very talented. I would not have a clue on how to do that but my daughter might who is a graphic artist.

  12. Beautiful texture, photo, and of course the wonderful little model. So many pictures you will have to cherish later in life. I love looking at all the photos of my children when they were small and growing up. Sadly, a lot of them are fading because it was before the digital era and I have saved some to disk, but some printed photos just don't hold up like others and then I probably didn't have the best film camera around. :)
