    You never stop learning! Annie gave us a very friendly welcome and enquired about the different experiences of the people in the small group. This enabled her to respond to everyone individually and give advice. We were able to try many different techniques, which Annie explained well beforehand. A very instructive evening where even experienced photographers can see and learn different things beside their genre. I would book a Meetup again at any time.

    Annie Nguyen
    Annie was born & raised in AL. She first developed her love for photography as a kid early on through her father who would often shoot film. She was completely enamored with this art growing up using her cousin's video camera to capture stills, learning Android/IPhone photography, & anything she could get her hands on to practice more including her dad's digital camera in middle school until she got her first (film) camera in high school. She enjoyed learning how to shoot with film as it was completely different from shooting with digital! It was also during this time when her father instilled more basic principles, such as composition & lighting, to help in her learning/practice as she quickly formed her own style having shoots with friends in high school. Even now, her love still continues for this art as capturing special moments is both a lifelong passion & joy of hers! She graduated from U.A.B. with a bachelor's in public health as helping others is another strong pursuit of hers.

    Annie Nguyen is available for private bookings

    Available most Sundays from 8AM until 12PM.
    Private tutoring, weddings, portraits, & events.

    It's eagle nesting season and I went to the nest hoping to get some pictures of the adult eagles. It was a cold afternoon with misting rain. The eagle came to the nest around 2:45 pm for about 10 to 15 minutes while it's mate was keeping the chick warm in the nest. I used a Nikon Z6II with a 600mm lens and an 2x adaptor.

    My Christmas is a hodgepodge of memories and reflections of my past and present. Some have been passed on to me others gifted to me from friends who know me well. Hence the Naughty and Nice ornament! As I decorate my tree each year, I am reminded of past adventures, beloved pets and milestones in my life.

    Driving home after out playing with my camera taking photos on my co-workers farm, I drove past this dam. I've never seen it before as I'm still relatively new to this area. I immediately pulled off the side of the road and grabbed my gear. I am a follower of Gary Gough, a fine art photographer on YouTube. He said one way to learn is to copy someone else's work to learn and get better. So that's what I did. LOL. Using his teachings I combined long shutter speeds with ND filters that allowed me t

    As part of my final project as a fourth-year photography major, I chose to explore and document Calgary?s sculptures, which embody the history and heritage of its people and landscape. One of the highlights of my work is By the Banks of the Bow, one of the largest sculptural artworks in North America. To enhance the visual impact of the image, I utilized Photoshop, particularly to create a dramatic sky that seamlessly complements the dynamism of the horses and the cowboy.This piece celebrate

    This long exposure shot is from August, 2024. I was visiting Liberty State Park, New Jersey. From Liberty park you get such an AMAZING view of the NYC skyline looking across the water. It?s awesome during the day but even more magical at night as you can see. I?d recommend a visit here just for the views to anyone.
