Mo Bassa

My name is MO, I am a Freelance Photographer from Cape Town, South Africa, I travel to Germany frequently every year.

I was always drawn to Photography as a Child, and stated experimenting with Cameras during my School dayts

There is a saying that your best Photograph is the next Photograph, so I suppose one is looking to always improve, satisfaction comes with time.

I shoot many genres, however, central to each of them, is to find moments, that elevate the photograph from a snapshot to a great shot.

The ability to read"" light and understand the nuances of composition is something that is developed with experience

By looking at peers work. Attending workshops, watching industry trends and presentations by leaders in the industry

We live in a technological world so over time reliance on technology helps streamline ones workflow.

I built up a portfolio of images in the genres that I was interested in shooting to be able to present my work to potential Clients

It is what one needs to add the finishing t ouches to what has already been captured. However I am a firm believer in not adding anything that was not there when the image was captured. Sometimes one has to remove distracting elements that have been captured.

Pay attention to detail. Lean to be critical of quality of your work. Don.t be afraid to try different techniques, only then will you discover new ones.

Workshops, training, perhaps working with a mentor. It's important to get external guidance because you have an emotional connection with your work, so external constructive criticism will help you develop as a better Photographer
