  • Autumn in New England – Colors from White Mountains

    By Simon Yunshan Pan, Simon.P Photography

    I’m currently studying at UMass Boston. I first fell in love with photography after I took a class in school. I am still in the process of learning and understanding more about all aspects of it. Even though it hasn’t been long time, photographing people, every-day objects and different scenery is my passion. I find joy and fulfillment in being able to capture stories and memories in a single picture.


    		 After realizing my new-found hobby, I have had numerous opportunities to shoot portraits for different models, landscapes, magazine work and events including, but not limited to weddings and parties. I am able to develop good RAW picture files as well as delivering edited pictures as I am experienced in Adobe Photoshop. Please do not hesitate to contact me for events or location shoots. I took the pictures below during a recent trip to White Mountains in New Hampshire. I used Canon 5D Mark III DSLR, and 16-35mm f2.8 and 24-70mm f2.8 lenses for these pictures.

  • Finding the Best Light, Pictures of Young Performers from China

    By John Tsou, photographer


    		 I have been taking pictures of performances of local Chinese art and music groups for years. On July 27, 2012, I found myself at Lexington Town Hall Auditorium, taking pictures of talented students performers from China. They were the Chinese Culture Land – Talented Juvenile Troupe, that toured Canada and US in July. Boston was their first stop in the US. The troupe performed spectacular Chinese folk dances and songs, martial arts, and acrobatics among others for local residents.
    Kong Ying performs Peking opera. The young performers were congratulated by Lexington town manager Carl Valente, and applauded loudly by the audience in the packed auditorium. Mr. Valente also mentioned the upcoming 300 year celebration of Lexington's township. More details can be found at： www.lexington300.org. The key of taking good pictures of performers is finding the best angle and shooting at the right moment when the light is on the performer in focus. Please check out some pictures I took on that evening below. [gallery]
