Congratulations to Marc Geremia for being our phot Congratulations to Marc Geremia for being our photographer of the week! He's 23, from Melbourne, Australia. His photographer journey began as a hobby.
.
“I became a photographer because I was really interested in how moments can be captured and share my perspective. At first, I started photography as a hobby to pass some time as I was not able to work during COVID. Finding Melbourne- (local-) based photographers like 7th era, Northborders, Hayden and Limon really inspired me. So I went out and bought myself a camera and decided to give it a go”
.
We love your photography and hard work. Congrats on your win this week!

Congratulations to our photographer of the week, J Congratulations to our photographer of the week, Joe Lombardi!!! Joe is 23 and lives in his hometown of Melbourne, Australia.

Joe started getting into photography a little over three years ago: “My friends bought me a camera for my 21st birthday.” This gift has allowed Joe to find his true passion and capture the world around him. Joe has been able to capture breathtaking landscapes around Melbourne and other Australian cities. His camera has also allowed him to capture the social movement of 2020 Black Lives Matter.

Joe’s photography has always been driven by hard work and determination. He stands by the motto, “Always take an opportunity when you are given it.” He believes that as a young photographer starting out this is the best thing to live by because you never know what will come out of an opportunity.

He has ambitions to continue his photography career and one day to take his passions and turn it into a career. ”2020 has allowed me to evaluate what I want to do with my life and photography is something I love and gives me drive.”

Congratulations again, Joe. Bokeh Focus is happy you’ve been able to find your love and passion for photography. We can’t wait to see the journey it takes you on.

Congratulations to our photographer of the week, S Congratulations to our photographer of the week, Syed Hamza!!! He is 16, originally from Peshawar Pakistan, and now lives in Istanbul Turkey.

Syed’s love for photography sparked when he was able to take what would’ve been an ordinary photo and add depth and imagination to it. “One day I took my phone out and snapped a photo of a flower that caught my eye. I was shocked by how clear the picture was it looked unreal and now here I am.”

His advice to other photographers is to move around and look for angles and lighting that can take your photo to the next level.“Don’t go for the perfect shot, It’s better to take the shot than to miss it while waiting for the perfect shot.”

Syed has many aspirations and dreams he hopes to achieve with his photography. He is passionate about photography and loves cars, he hopes to one day find a way to merge his two passions.

Congratulations again Syed!!! Your future is very bright and we cant wait to see how your photography flourishes over the years.

Congratulations to our photographer of the week, W Congratulations to our photographer of the week, Wendy Pierce!!! She is from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Wendy's drive and passion for photography came from an inspirational person in her life. “My Dad is really into photography and that is where I got my love for taking pictures and finding unique compositions from.” Like most starting photographers, Wendy found it hard to acquire the camera equipment needed to help her venture into the photography world, so she improvised. "I couldn’t afford a nice camera but I had my iPhone. I took an iPhone photography course online that allowed me to become more experienced in iPhone photography. I only take photos using my phone; it is convenient and it allows me to edit on the go while always having my camera with me."

Wendy’s photography has been featured on multiple notable instagram accounts and received website recognition. She has been fortunate enough to earn revenue from some of her frames. “I’ve sold a few photos on the Twenty20 app.”

Right now Wendy does photography in her spare time. “I would like to have my photography featured in an art gallery. It would be amazing to be able to earn a living doing what I love.”

Congratulations Wendy!!! Continue your amazing photography and we can not wait to see what you capture next.

Congratulations to our photographer of the week, L Congratulations to our photographer of the week, Lauryn Wellington!! She is 21, originally from Syracuse, New York, and now lives in Atlanta.

Her start in photography came from a unique place, wondering how she could capture the world around her and the perspectives that came with it. “When I was younger, I was more focused on taking photos of nature or buildings, but as I've gotten older, I've started to fall in love with portrait photography. Being able to capture a person from all the right angles and having their face light up when they look at your finished product is such an amazing feeling.”

One of her most spontaneous moments as a photographer was when Lauryn took the daring leap to stand in the middle of the road as she waited for cars to clear, waiting to capture the perfect moment of raw emotions from her models as they posed.
 
She hopes to continue developing her career as a photographer, learning everything she can to perfect her craft. “I hope to make a name for myself and to work with other like-minded creatives on photo concepts. The thought of working with an entire team of creative directors, stylists, makeup artists, etc. (as cliché as it sounds) would be a dream come true.”

Congratulations!!! Bokeh Focus is really excited to see how your style develops and you come into your own as a photographer.

Congratulations to our photographer of the week, W Congratulations to our photographer of the week, Whitney Jones!!! She is 21, originally from Lake County, California, and now lives in Atlanta.

Her love for photography started when she began learning from her older sister, who is a photographer. “My older sister is an amazing photographer and she taught me everything she knows. I then took a photography class and absolutely fell in love with taking portraits. I love being able to show people how beautiful they are through my photography!” 

In Whitney’s portfolio of work, she submitted these pieces that stand out to her as some of her favorites to date. She is a versatile photographer who takes advantage of the environment around her to capture the perfect portrait.

She aims to craft her photography skills and continue to learn and grow as a photographer. “Every year I can see my photos getting so much better and it pushes me to go more and more out of my comfort zone to get the perfect shot!”
