Every photographer has a story to tell of how they capture the magic they see before them. We are celebrating this with our Instagram PixStorytellers. Each week, a new photographer will join us on Instagram sharing their ideas, tips, and tricks for getting the best shot. This week we introduce you to Jennifer Longo from A Girl and Her Travel Bug aka @JensTrvlBug on Instagram.
I started with photography shortly after graduating high school. I would often use disposable cameras at concerts and I’d get so excited when I got a “good” shot. Eventually, I bought a small point & shoot digital camera and found myself using it all the time. I would gradually upgrade cameras and find myself getting more and more into photography – and over time people started to ask me to shoot their own special events. It took off from there!
I don’t know that I have ever completely found my “groove” in photography. It’s something I still work on consistently because I’ve never felt completely satisfied with my work – as most artists. I like to experiment with different styles, angles, and techniques in order to get better and expand my knowledge.
I have a Nikon D700, an 85mm Sigma lens, 50mm Nikkor, 12-24mm Sigma, Tamron 75-300mm, and a Sigma 17-70mm. I also have a Nikon SB-800 flash unit.
If I have any advice for those starting out, it’s experiment experiment experiment! Learning the basics of merely getting a photo properly exposed can be daunting when first picking up an SLR, but it’s a really rewarding process when you begin to see results. Don’t stop at the basics; get creative and see just how much your camera and a good eye are capable of!
