A tiny bit of editing too never hurt anyone, but just make sure you do not go overboard or compromise the originality of your pictures. Here, we’ve highlighted some of our favorite tips for capturing the perfect sunrise or sunset throughout Julie Corsetti’s years of experience as an Island Photographer.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image="2955" img_size="1200x800" alignment="center"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]SUNRISE Every photographer’s dream is to capture the perfect sunrise photo. Photography and Videography in natural light sources is a challenging task, as you are at the mercy of the Grand Cayman. However, if executed correctly, this can become your crowning glory. Always remember- what you see with your eyes is what you want to translate on camera. However, as you probably know, creating the perfect, aesthetically pleasing sunrise photograph is not something easy to achieve. Patience: This goes without saying. In order for your perfect sunrise shot, which you have no doubt envisioned in your head, you need to wait. But when the perfect day comes, you will no doubt capture the moment you have been waiting for, and all your patience will bear fruit. This may also require some 5:00 am wake-up calls but trust that it’s absolutely worth it Lifestyle Photography: depending on your style of photography, Lifestyle Photography can be either the easiest or one of the more difficult tasks you undertake. While sunrise and sunset landscapes are dreamy, consider adding a subject into the mix. This helps push your photography skills when having to consider how best to work with lighting. As everyone knows, portrait photography is the best under natural light. With no added filters and just a little bit of makeup, you can work wonders. However, attempting moving or aperture shots could get difficult. You may need multiple tries, as achieving the perfect combination of light and movement could get tricky. But in the end, your skills and patience matter the most.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image="2960" img_size="1200x800" alignment="center"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image="3058" img_size="1200x800" alignment="center"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image="3194" img_size="1200x800" alignment="center"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]SUNSETS Sunset is also one of the most beautiful, aesthetically pleasing times of the day. Capturing the grandeur of this moment is every photographer’s dream. However, reproducing this moment on film in a manner which takes your breath away is a rare trait that only a few photographers possess. The Grand Cayman is home to some of the most amazing and awe-inspiring sunsets in the world. Capturing exactly how you feel at the moment, however, is always the challenge. Perfect location: for capturing the perfect sunset, location is everything. Finding that spot that makes your photography stand out is essential in achieving that perfect sunset photograph. Usually, photography and videography involving sunsets are shot over water, as it makes your image aesthetically pleasing. Furthermore, this makes editing easier, as you do not need to worry about contrast or shadowing issues. Exposure: perfecting your exposure is fundamental in any sunset photography, as exposure is perfect to alleviate your sunset shots. If your exposure value is not perfect, you can easily mess up your photograph, and thus, you might have to wait a while to be able to capture such a moment again. Shadow photography is the perfect way to enhance your skills when practicing with exposure shots. Your shadows come out crisper, sharper, and have more of an aesthetic value. Another tip is to push your skills in long-exposures and test the perfect balance between shutter speed and aperture. No matter the time of day, the Grand Caymans are a heavenly place, and with the right talent and patience, you can capture it at its best![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image="3202" img_size="1200x800" alignment="center"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image="2958" img_size="1200x800" alignment="center"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image="2964" img_size="1200x800" alignment="center"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image="2967" img_size="1200x800" alignment="center"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image="2962" img_size="1200x800" alignment="center"][/vc_column][/vc_row] Read More

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]From a young age, Julie Corsetti would find herself flipping through the pages of National Geographic imagining herself as a photographer of the world's most beautiful landscapes. She was captivated by the faces and places that seemed worlds apart, but fast forward years later, she is living the dream as a travel photographer working throughout the Cayman Islands. While Julie loves an opportunity to update her passport stamp collection, she stresses that there is a lot that goes into travel photography that should also be considered. >>> You Must Be Resilient, Tolerant and Flexible! With a variety of subject matter, travel photographers employ skills across all photographic disciplines including portraiture, landscape, wildlife, architectural, reportage and event photography. Photos from exotic airports and epic locations might appear luxurious when viewed from a highly curated Instagram feed (Julie's Instagram is no exception), but the reality is that the journey isn't always as pretty. Long-haul flights are brutal to your body, and jet-lag can cripple your productivity while you acclimate to your surroundings. Travel delays, traffic, crowds, and oversold flights are all stressful, but that's just what it takes to get there. However, the deeper you travel to distant lands and cultures, the more varied the people you'll encounter - meaning tolerance for other cultures is necessary to access these places and document the realities within them. In hindsight, the more willing you are to travel at a moment's notice, the more opportunities you can access. Like anything, finding balance is where Julie has found the most success throughout her career as a photographer, both in the Cayman Islands and abroad. While travel photography is a good deal of work, Julie is the first to admit the reward often times outweigh the difficulties. Working with organizations, individuals, brides, influencers, and cultures abroad has helped shape Julie into the businesswoman and artist she is today - and that's what we love most about her! Check out this photo sesh with North Carolina influencers and bloggers, Kat Corsetti and Angel Bolding.
