Haruru Falls NZ

Haruru Waterfalls NZ One of the easiest waterfalls to get to at North Island New Zealand is Haruru Waterfalls.  It's just 5-10 minutes away from the parking.  Actually, we're just driving on this road when we saw a signage going to Haruru Waterfalls.  We followed it.  Since we already hear the loud gushing of waters, we decided to stopover and continue towards the falls.

Amanda Rahme I haven't been shooting Beauty photography for years now.  The last time I shot Beauty was a disaster.  I don't know anything about portraiture and I don't know about lighting.  I don't know how to make my portraits pop out or stand out.  I don't know anything about modifiers and position them to get that soft beautiful light. As time passes by, I decided to put time into studying portraiture and lighting.  This happened less than a year ago.  Interesting, I managed to grasp some basic concepts, not only of lighting, but also confidence, direction and posing.  There's more to it than just taking a person's portrait and lighting it. Beauty Shoot If you ask me, 'Beauty' in terms of photography is taking a photo from shoulder up.  The subject will always be the face, parts of the face and the make up.  The face is commercially rich, meaning many companies are into this industry to make money.  To name a few are Revlon, Avon, Clinique - any
