Guest Blog: Editorial Portrait Photographer Maria Jose Govea


Hi guys! It’s my first time writing for this blog and it feels great to get to share some stuff with you.

I’m currently on tour in Europe with a Colombian band called Bomba Estéreo, and we’re driving into Bilbao, Spain.

You can see more of Maria’s work at TheSuperManiak.com, and keep up with her on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and her blog.

Using a Sunset Recipe Card

You check the histogram on your camera with the sample histogram provided on the recipe card, make micro-adjustments, and enjoy the moment.

You’ve just captured an Epic Sunrise complete with silky water lapping the contrasting grainy sand, coral-pink cotton-wool clouds dancing in the sky, and a golden glow sneaking above the horizon that hints something spectacular is about to happen.

Scanning the scene, you spot a tree you’d like to feature in the foreground.

So, you grab the Sunrise Silhouette Recipe Card from your camera bag, dial in the new settings, and now you’ve just captured another magical morning memory.
