Lots of new ideas for ‘08 at the Wedding Photographers’ convention

Posted by Chris Mann

tampa_150.jpgWe’re always on the lookout for new tips and techniques to help us take better and more creative photographs, so earlier this month I went to Tampa in Florida to attend the annual convention of the Digital Wedding Forum.

The DWF is a worldwide association of photographers who specialize in weddings and portraits, and most of our industry’s top practitioners - including 9 out of 10 of the world’s top ten wedding photographers - are members. So I was keen to hear from some of the “best of the best” what’s new in wedding and portrait photography. Read the rest of this entry »

Pirates of The Turks & Caicos - The Legend of the Black Conch

Posted by Chris Mann

pirates_150.jpgPantomime is back! Two years ago, the Turks & Caicos Friends of the Arts Foundation staged TCI’s first-ever Christmas pantomime, “A Caribbean Cinderella”, written and directed by John Garvin - and ever since islanders have been asking “When’s the next one?”

So this year John and the team have created a new show with an original script, based on the pirate history of these islands in the 1700s - but in the true panto tradition, packed with jokes, songs, dance, spectacle, and fun for all the family. Read the rest of this entry »

hilsabeck_front.jpgWhat a wonderful time I had photographing the Hilsabeck family!
Jennifer contacted me few weeks ago looking forward “to capture the memory of what we are sure will be an amazing trip”. Mom, dad, grandparents, a 17 years old son and two 16 months old toddlers - wow, there was no doubt about an interesting, exciting and fun session.

Little Red Dress

Posted by Andy Mann

ladejobi_frnt.jpgWe do shoot a lot of weddings and naturally 99% of brides do wear the traditional white dress. It looks awesome against the blue sky and blue ocean. However a few weeks ago whilst we were helping at a very upscale local charity event at the Regent Palms, one of the main organizers Foluso was wearing a fabulous red dress. Would she like to do a photo shoot ? We’ve known Foluso for many years and luckily she agreed to help - we are so glad she did!!

Fun Day at the Amanyara

Posted by David Gallardo

sullivan_057small.jpgWho said that having your photo taken is not fun?

On November 7th I had the opportunity to photograph Roben and Mike at the Amanyara Resort and we all had a great time!

There is nothing better and more stress-relieving than starting your photo shoot with a pillow fight!

Then continuing with some photos next to your resort villa with an incredible blue sky. And what about ending your photo session walking and playing on the beach with your loved one? Read the rest of this entry »

Family Portraits - they can be fun!!

Posted by Andy Mann

click_frnt.jpgThe biggest reservation people (and that’s mainly Dads and husbands we are talking about) have with “having their picture taken” is that it’s going to be a slow, painful, posed affair and a visit to the dentist is actually preferable. After all, when was the last time you had FUN having your picture taken?

Well it’s a mission for us at Tropical Imaging to do just that - to make it fun. NO saying cheese. NO poses straight out of the 1870’s and that is exactly what we were able to do for Donnie and Carolyn a few days ago.
