Carmen and Ingo Photography Blog

Is everyone having a great week so far? We hope so. If not, maybe this posting is bringing a little light into your day. We, especially Carmen, were totally excited as we got the news from one of Carmen’s best friends in Munich. The beautiful Katha and her friend Robin are two really cool guys you wanna hang out with and we feel so happy for them, that everything plays so well together and they are awaiting a little Girl in March.

Ever since we got the inquiry from Verena and Ian we had itchy feed and almost could not wait to photograph our first winter wedding.
Why was it our first one? Well, as many of you know we have not had winter for two years now, due to our trip around the world and so we could not do last year’s requests. Winter 2009 was our first year in the business and that obviously did not start with one of these rare weddings in January. Read more

As mentioned earlier we have not done a 2011 review or “best of 2011 picture” but that does not mean we have not had a freakin’ fantastic last year. It was incredible, maybe one of the best years we have ever had.

We tripped to wonderful countries, we met unbelievable nice and friendly people from all over the world. Our clients and their weddings were the best. We got featured online in many blogs and platforms as well as in (print) magazines. Attending Photoshop World in Orlando and meeting the Kelby Gang was another highlight. We did lots of one2one sessions and could help others to improve and develop their business and photography also during our portrait and editing workshops. Read more

Es ist lange überfällig nach den Fotografie Praxisworkshops in Villach auch über die Bildbearbeitung zu sprechen. Wir werden so oft gefragt, wie unser Workflow in der Postproduktion, also unter anderem der digitalen Dunkelkammer, aussieht. Während dieses Seminars teilen wir mit euch alles Notwendige, damit eure Nacharbeit an Bildern besser wird und die Portraitfotos ihren verdienten Feinschliff bekommen. Die Bearbeitung werden wir anhand der beiden Programme Adobe Photoshop Lightroom (85%) und Adobe Photoshop (15%) zeigen.

Wir stellen die wichtigsten Grundzügen von Lightroom vor und wieso man als Fotograf bzw. ambitionierter Hobbyist nicht mehr darauf verzichten kann. Die ganzen Funktionen von Photoshop zu zeigen ist natürlich nicht möglich, aber wir werden spezielle Techniken vorstellen, die in der Portraitfotografie (Retusche) angewendet werden können und sollten.

Wir werden die Verwendung/Erstellung von Presets und Actions erklären. Wir zeigen genau wie Presets effizient genutzt werden können damit man wieder mehr Zeit zum Fotografieren verwenden kann statt editieren. Natürlich führen wir vor, wie wir unsere Candi Presets verwenden und für alle Teilnehmer gibt es ein einmaliges Spezial Angebot! Read more

We have been practicing this since quite a while (e.g. here and here) and we recommend doing so when ever we can: Photographers, get at least once a year to the flip side of a camera! (But not just from your own one

Sure we have a little advantage to the average photographers out there as we can now and then just photograph each other. If it comes to take pictures of us both we also grab our self-timer and a tripod in order to not get these extended, wired looking arms in every frame. But also once a year we are booking a photographer, whom we admire, for a casual portrait session. (And yes, we have chosen the one for 2012 already Read more

Wir freuen uns nun endlich die fixierten Termine für zwei weitere Multimedia Shows unserer großen Reise um die Welt (TATW) bekannt geben zu dürfen. Wer es mitbekommen hat oder sogar dabei war, wir haben im Oktober bereits in der Heimatstadt von Carmen die erste Show gezeigt. Es kamen etwas mehr als 100 Besucher und wir hatten wirklich einen wunderbaren Abend. Danke noch einmal an alle die sich Zeit genommen haben um mit uns auf Weltreise zu gehen. Teilweise waren die Anreisewege mehrer Stunden, sogar aus der Schweiz kamen welche extra für unsere Show. Wir sind immer noch überwältigt von euer aller Feedback. DANKE! Read more
