HI-FI EXPO 2011 PHOTOS

This year was the second HI-FI EXPO Sofia, a trade show for high-end audio and video equipment (check out the website for more info www.hifiexpo.bg). Since we barely had any photos from last year's show due to lack of time and well-prepared photographers (seriously, how would you feel if you got a bunch of totally dark and grainy photos?!), this year we decided that we will be taking care of the photos ourselves. My goal was to take photos of all four days of the expo, so that we could post them on the facebook page of the expo and the website. I am not saying that I am the best of photographers either, but I tried to do my best, and I had lots of fun photographing everything! You can see all the photos here, but I have selected a few of my favorite ones to show you here on my blog. Of course some of my favorite photos are of little details in the equipment that I found interesting :) I guess I like shooting little details :)

COMPANY LOGO: ЕТ ШАНС

In the summer I had the chance to design a logo for a company, ЕТ Шанс (or Chance Ltd.), that is a construction products retailer. The company wanted a logo in one color that they can use on the signs outside of their shop, so I gave them some options that were more abstract and an option with a hand giving a thumbs up (because of the name of the company - "chance").

Here are some of the abstract designs:


And here is the design with the hand giving a thumbs up, which is actually the one they ended up choosing.


I actually really enjoy designing logos. I hope that I have more chances to do that in the future.

TWO FALL PORTRAITS

I just wanted to share these two lovely portraits that Pavel took of me a few weeks ago in the park - I really love the fall colors. They are so beautiful to photograph.

FIRST FALL PHOTOS FOR THIS YEAR!

It's fall, an awesome season to photograph! I took some time last weekend (even though it was very cold) to take some photos in the park. I also wanted to try out a Lensbaby Control Freak lens that I borrowed, so my shutter button finger was itching :) Here are some of my photos below; they are my experiments with the Lensbaby and with my own lenses. I love shooting rose hip :)

WATERCOLOR WEDDING GIFT

After more than a year of not painting any watercolors, I made the time two weekends ago to paint a couple of small fall scenes as a wedding gift for a friend. Watercolor is the medium I probably know best when it comes to painting , since I've been working with watercolor since I was a kid, and it was nice to do something familiar. Birches are also very interesting to paint, all white and gold and delicate.

DANI & ROSSEN'S WEDDING PHOTOS

After the sneak peak at the beginning of the week, here are some of the photos from Dani & Rossen's wedding last Saturday. I was not the official photographer of the event, but I was invited to photograph Dani while she was getting ready, so I have a bunch of photos from before the actual ceremony and fewer from the rituals. Still, I managed to snap a photo here and there, and I am posting some here for you to see.

Stay tuned for more photos from the wedding soon!
