Hi, I'm Melkisedek Phillip, a photographer with over 5 years of experience in all fields of photography. I'm originally from Namibia but recently relocated to Germany.

Yes, I grew up in the coastal town of Walvis Bay, Namibia. My first picture was of the ocean. After that I took a couple of pictures of my dad and after that I never stopped.

I always had an eye for detail, I used to take pictures with my phone at the time and my friends encouraged me to get into photography.

When the image is crisp and clear, capturing the intended subject. The image is neither too bright nor too dark, with balanced highlights and shadows. The elements within the frame are arranged in a visually pleasing way. The image evokes a strong emotional response in the viewer.

The right time to contact a photographer depends on the type of photography you need and how urgent your project is. Any time within their business hours. at least 2-4 weeks in advance, allowing time for planning and scheduling. Early morning or early afternoon is often a good time to reach out, as photographers may be less busy at these times.

A good photograph is a combination of technical skill and artistic vision. A clear and well-focused image is essential. The arrangement of elements within the frame should be visually pleasing and guide the viewer's eye. Careful editing can enhance an image and bring out its full potential.

The unlocking of a whole new world of people from different countries and lifes. One really learn a lot through meeting people.

My colour grading skills are one of my strongest suits, but my attention to detail is what sets me apart.

Compositional elements, depth of field, post-processing possibilities and light nuances. Photographers understand how light behaves and can spot subtle differences in light quality, direction, and intensity. This helps them choose the best shooting location and time. A photographer recognizes compositional rules like the rule of thirds and leading lines, and can quickly assess how to arrange elements within a frame for visual impact

The best way to improve my photography skills is to practice regularly. Take photos of anything and everything that interests me. The more I practice, the better I will become.

Preserving fleeting emotions, memories, and connections. Evoking specific feelings in viewers, such as joy, sadness, nostalgia, or awe.

Photographers need a variety of equipment to capture stunning images. DSLR (Digital Single-Lens Reflex): These are the most popular type of camera among photographers, offering interchangeable lenses and manual control over settings. These lenses capture a wider field of view, making them ideal for landscapes and group photos. These lenses have a fixed focal length and often offer superior image quality to zoom lenses.

Technology plays a significant role in photography, but it's not the sole determinant of a great photo. Modern cameras and lenses offer superior image quality, low-light performance, and dynamic range.Powerful editing software allows photographers to enhance images, correct flaws, and create unique artistic effects. Digital technology makes it easy to share photos instantly and store them for future reference.

Shared my work on platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest to reach a wider audience. Let my loved ones know about my photography business and asked them to spread the word.

Post-processing can fix minor flaws like dust spots, lens flares, or unwanted objects, you can also brighten or darken areas, balance colors, and improve overall exposure. just to mention a few things.

Try different techniques, angles, and lighting conditions. Review your photos to identify areas for improvement. Learn how to adjust aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. Learn about the rule of thirds, leading lines, and other compositional techniques.

Time, time to study the business side of providing a service, time to master your craft, time to get to know that clients are not the same, time to be better than you were the previous time.
