About us
"Woodstock based, self taught freelance photographer Nelson Albarran”
I’ve always had an immense interest in photography but only in 2008 decided to take the leap of faith into purchasing my first professional DSLR camera. My day to day work back then involved organizing incentive groups and inbound tourism into Southern Africa. Travelling to beautiful locations, meeting interesting people, visiting luxurious Game Lodges and experiencing incredible safari game sightings is what inspired me to want to capture and share those moments.
With limited free time to attend a professional photography course I have learnt the basics through reading books, researching techniques, video tutorials and of course networking with other “togs”. But in photography learning is never over. New techniques are emerging on practically a monthly basis. Good camera technology has become far more accessible to the average user and competition is strong. But as they say competition is good. It makes us strive to improve our game, or talent in this regard. The beauty of photography is that once you have the basics right, you can then start to experiment, and this is when its becomes very its own art form.
I believe that as a photographer, you are constantly seeing things from a totally different perspective, always looking for that award winning captured moment, that one photo that people will stand back and say “Wow”!! This challenge and constant learning is what drives me, and having people appreciate my art, is at the end of the day a truly special sensation.
