    Samira Hatamizadeh
    I am Samira.
    For ten years, I have shared everything I have learned and experienced about photography as a photography instructor, which makes me happy.
    I started photography by taking pictures of beautiful nature. After experiencing different genres of photography such as fashion, advertising, portrait, and ..., I am mostly fascinated with street and urban photography.
    Photography has always been the most significant personal way of dealing with the world around me, which enables me to feel the world without a come-between, even without a camera!
    My educational background has been in Visual Communication and Visual Anthropology, and I am currently based in London.

    Whilst exploring the groubds of holiday resort, there was one particular area of foliage I noted the butterflies were attracted too. A twice visited this with the intention of capturing this larger and colour versions of butterfly. They are quick and dont stay around for long so was pleased to get this at the right angle at the right time.

    Title or Location: La Blanche Island, near Bodrum Turkey
    Whenever I travel, I always like to photograph the native wildlife and was suprised to find this simple white cabbage butterfly as we see in England, right there in Bodrum. I experimented with different exposures in the bright afternoon sun. Unexpectedly, the lower exposure created this stark backdrop which draws attention to the the subject really well. Taken on Nikon D5500 f.56 1/1250

    Title or Location: Christmas Boxer
    I was testing out a new backdrop that I purchased for a family mini Christmas shoot that I have coming up. I used to make my children be my models but since they are grown Zeus, my boxer, was such a good boy and was my model. This was shot on a Canon EOS 6D with the EF 24-105mm f/4L at 24mm, ISO 320, 1/160. I used two Alien B800 strobes with white umbrellas.
