Happy New Year 2017!!
Happy New Year 2017 – And just like that, 2016 ended and the new year began. What an awesome 2016 it was. It’s been the first year in many years that I’m not glad to see the back of. On both a personal and business front, 2016 treated me well. It’s paved the path for me to make some life-changing decisions for 2017. I’m so excited, but so incredibly nervous at the same time.
Here are some of my favourite images from 2016.
Leanne du Plessis Photography had its best year in 2016. After investing massive amounts of money and time into training, I have learned so much more during 2016 than all the previous years in business combined. Prior to 2016, I had done training and courses, but nothing like the Mentoring Sessions I’m doing at present and will continue until Summer 2017. I just wish I had invested in myself before 2016. I would have been so much closer to my dream of a full-time photographer before now. But as they say, all good things come to those who wait and work hard. I can’t begin to tell you how much I’ve learned in 2016, however, the images I’m producing, speak for themselves.
Being a Photographer is more than just picking up a camera and taking a photo. To me the most important aspects of a great image are lighting, composition and focus. Get these wrong and you can say goodbye to that award-winning image. You can’t believe the difference until you put a technically correct photo against an incorrect one. Photography is a complex art until you get it right. And into 2017, I will be aiming to perfect this Art.
Happy New Year Everyone and hope you all have a prosperous 2017.
