Lovers of Light

When it comes to photography, light is everything.

I am fascinated by light and like to think that my photography is inspired by The Light of the World.

I especially love to take pictures in the hour before sunset, which is referred to as the Golden Hour.  The light is low and even in the sky.

I recently came across a photography competition called “Lovers of Light”, hosted byVELUX ® .  The name of the contest caught my attention immediately.  I would have loved to have entered but the contest had just ended . . .   maybe next year?  VELUX apparently knows photographers and the importance of light- they sell a wide range of custom windows and window treatments.  How amazing would a natural light photography studio be if it were made out of windows like these?

If you love light-drenched photos as much as I do, check out the finalists in the VELUX Lover’s of Light competition.  They are all very inspiring.

To close, here is my boy and his Grammy, just before sunset.  I love the emotion captured and the golden hour light.

  1. Erin – you are an incredibly talented photographer. I’ve read most if not all of your blog and I can’t recall if you mentioned you’ve had any formal photography/camera training?, but I am so envious. I have two boys around the same age as yours and would love to capture them with photographs the way that you do!

    You truly have a gift!

  2. Kelly, that is so sweet of you!! I started shooting with a DSLR camera after Wynn was born and I was doing my baby bedding and wanting to get good product photos. I took a class online to learn to shoot in Manual and have since taken 4 or 5 other classes that way. I will write a post about this for sure. If you look through my archives to Mary or June 2011, there is a post I wrote about getting started in photography with links to classes I first took! I’d link you myself but James is crying for me-I should know better by now than to be on the internet during his waking hours 😉

  3. Thanks, Corrie! I will put a post together for sure. Thank you for the sweet words, I agree that God has blessed us richly and I feel pretty undeserving!
