Start of Product Photography - Dior Perfume

I was in town this long weekend (Memorial Day) and so I thought let me get the Dior perfume that I gifted my wife and take some pictures of it.

Here are some of the pictures that I captured.

First Personal Project - Playing Cards

The first photography project that I am doing is "Playing Cards". The idea to take different and creative shots of a regular deck of playing cards. 

A bit of history

About 15-16 years back, David Blaine made his first appearance on television with his "Street Magic" show. The show was fantastic and I was totally blown away by his magic tricks. I always had this question that everyone has - "How the hell did he do that?" So I decided to pursue that question and get deeper into the world of magic tricks. I spent about 10 years learning different kinds of magic tricks, especially magic tricks with Playing Cards. Today - I perform magic shows for my friends & family and enjoy doing that.



Therefore when I launched "The Shutterist", it was an obvious choice to combine my passions (Magic Tricks and Photography) together and make some good images of playing cards.
Here's a sneak peak of my project so far. I am still working on the project and will upload all the images together for you to see.

About "The Shutterist"

Ok - so here we go, My first post on "The Shutterist". In this post I want to talk to you about what is this website all about and what I plan to post on this website. Of course - this is a platform where I want to showcase my photography and show the images that I have made over the years and those that I will make in future. But - this website won't be just that. Here's what I plan to do with this website 


Portfolio (Showcase my work)

This is hardly a surprise. I want to showcase my work to everyone on the web and this website will help me do that. This obviously isn't the only place where I show my work, but this will be special to me (because it's my own little website). 

Personal Projects

A major section of this website will be devoted to keeping my readers up to speed with all my personal photography projects. I have some photography projects lined up already which will continue for few months. You will be hearing about those soon. At the end of the project, you should be able to see a quick line to see all the images that I made for that project. Hope you will like them and share them. 

Events/Travel/Assignment Photography

I do travel a lot and go explore different places, different cultures. This section of my website will showcase those pictures. You might also see pictures from other events and weddings that I attend and took pictures for. 

Inspirations

Its said that no matter how much you know about a subject, you can always learn from others. This section of my website will talk about some of those PRO photographers and their amazing work that inspires me. 

Tips & Stuffs

Although this is not a "Learn Photography" kind of website, I do intend to share a few tips and tricks about photography. I am by no means a PRO photographer or PRO tutor, but hopefully my small little tips will help you take better photos.

About Everything else in this world

Too much of one subject tends to get boring pretty quickly. In this section, I will post about a completely random topic, more like a general blog. Again - this won't be a major chunk of my posts, but occasional ones.
