Photo Journal – Page 17 – Jenya Zhivaleva Photography

Free surfing has no immediate purpose other than pure enjoyment. Photography is a means of making that enjoyment more concrete so that other people who cannot surf may appreciate the joy that you experience when you surf. This is why having good photos of yourself surfing is very important.

You owe it yourself and to the important people in your life to share your love of surfing with them. Personalized surfing photography can do that for you. Good surfing photography can explain something where a thousand words will never do.

My photography is about capturing feelings in a way words never can. When shooting Personalized Surfing Portfolios I spend the whole day with my clients. To avoid pressure you have a whole day to perform. “Relax and try not to think about the camera.” That is what they always say and it is true. We create an environment for you to surf at your best. Your surfing performance will benefit from our relaxed style.

We can organize shoots anywhere in the George / Mosselbay Area and Victoria Bay is usually the best option, but we can travel as far as Buffalo Bay or Vleesbay for Surfing Portfolio Shoots! When book a Surfing Portfolio Shoot we will make arrangements and together we choose the best day, and the right spot, for the ultimate surfing conditions!

The photo shoot can be divided into a few sessions, as you wish, but it is advisable to make the first session early, with a quick break for a photo talk, immediately followed by another session. During breaks in-between sessions we can go through and discuss the photos. Feedback can be given so that we both have a better understanding of how to maximize this photo opportunity. You may have a particular shot you would like again and I may have a particular move I would like to shoot again!

At the end ALL photos will be provided to you in their original high-resolution format (on DVD) for good quality prints in the future. I will also edit a selection of your best shots! You may also wish to order customized or stylized prints!

Weddings are fun! Everybody loves a wedding! There’s romance in the air, a beautiful dress, snazzy suits, good food and lots of flowers. Weddings make special photo stories… A bride getting ready, the gentle touch of a loving hand as the bride walks down the aisle. The look in the groom’s eyes as he sees his bride for the first time that day, the rings, the tears of joy and the bubbly kisses that come and go, flowing back and forth. The speeches, the jokes, the laughter and the serious promise of commitment. The champagne. The emotional speech of a best man, the loving smiles of guests, their toasts, the first dance, a special wedding cake, and a bouquet almost as beautiful as the bride herself… You want all of these moments captured. Each photo will tell their story of a special day.
