Marchand De Goede bio picture

welcome to my space

 Welcome to my official blog (work in progress). I’ve been a photography enthusiast for many years now and the more I’m learning about the art of photography, the more my ambition grows.

In 2003 I started out by buying my wife a digital SLR for christmas. After trying to teach her from my limited knowledge I had, I discovered we didn’t quite share the same enthusiasm. I have since inherited and upgraded that very first camera (many  times over lol), and still owe my wife a gift for that particular Christmas.

As a self taught photographer I have tried and tested different aspects of photography. It’s great to be able to work with people of all ages and backgrounds and its most rewarding when you’re able to capture that special moments.

Am I a Pro? Nope

Am I still learning? Yes......everyone is

Do I spend a bunch of money on equipment I will never recuperate? Yes.

Am I some sort of Annie Leibovitz misunderstood genius? No. (I wish)

Do I think I am any good? Sometimes ;)

Do I love lighting, photographing and editing. Absolutely, for me, that is the sole point.

Driekie and Sarel

Driekie and Sarel, very special friends of ours got married at Kraalbosdam in Darling on the 12th February 2011. We feel greatly honoured in having had the privilege to spend the day with them. Their personalities shone through in this carnival themed sweet filled wedding! I had great fun shooting their special day, only to be topped by the mouthfuls of fabulous sweets on offer. Congratulations to our dearest friends.

Donata – Part 2

Sunday, September 19, 2010 at 8:54am Posted in misc, portrait

 

Good friend of ours and fellow photographer Donata has once again agreed to have her pictures taken. She was very brave to wonder into the cold water but I think its was all worth it in the end.

Thanks Ramune for your help with make-up :-)
