how to become a photographer

Interview with Rowe Timson

Rowe Timson is an Australian photographer living her dream in Bali with her husband and beautiful daughter.  When she isn’t exploring Bali and the golden light of sunset, she regularly returns to Australia for sessions.  I am in love with the photos she has shared with us – I hope you are too!

  1. 1. How does the natural light in Bali differ to the light you were accustomed to shooting with in Australia? What is your favorite time of day to shoot?
  4. I was surprised to see it gets dark earlier here than home!  The light itself doesn’t feel overly different to me though so I still love to shoot an hour or so before sunset….the golden hour!

Four Reasons Why I Love a 50mm Lens

  • Angie 

I believe a 50mm lens is an important staple in any photographer’s kit.  Here are the top 4 reasons why I love mine:

  1. 1. Aperture – A 50mm prime lens will open up nice and wide, allowing you to shoot with apertures below f/5.6 (many zoom lenses that cover the 50mm focal range do not open up below f/5.6 at 50mm)
  2. 2. Sharpness – As a general rule, prime (fixed focal length) lenses are sharper than zoom lenses
  3. 3. Angle of View – A 50mm focal length allows me to shoot small group portraits and tight single portraits with a lovely bokeh (with a wide aperture so that is your blurry background)
