Ramiro Marquez Photo

Hello, I'm Ramiro, and I've been immersed in the world of photography for over 25 years. What started as a source of income quickly became a hobby and a true passion. I find great joy in capturing fleeting moments that I can cherish for years to come. Moreover, I take pleasure in sharing my knowledge and helping others learn how to capture their own remarkable photos. My photographic journey began with film, where I learned the art of shooting, developing, and printing in a traditional darkroom. Around 2009, I transitioned to digital photography, embracing DSLR cameras and post-processing software like Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom. Throughout my experience, I've explored a wide range of photo genres and subjects. I frequently venture outdoors to capture the serenity of landscapes and the delicate beauty of flowers. I've also delved into the realm of dynamic subjects, photographing birds, animals, and even exciting events such as sporting competitions, concerts, and air shows. Additionally, I have a wealth of experience in controlled environments, particularly in studio settings where I've captured portraits for various occasions, including maternity, birthdays, and social media profiles. My emphasis lies in photographic composition, framing, and lighting. Whether working in a studio or amidst nature's wonders, I am captivated by the interplay of light and its ability to immortalize moments. I'm well-versed in the local areas that offer excellent opportunities for wildlife photography and outdoor portraits. Photography is an art that extends beyond camera settings, and I can guide you on techniques to position yourself optimally for capturing your desired shot. Regarding editing, I firmly believe that software such as Photoshop and Lightroom are powerful tools that have revolutionized the traditional darkroom workflow. I have extensive experience working with RAW images, High Dynamic Range (HDR) photos, stacking, panoramic merging, color correction, and toning. While I encourage photographers to strive for excellence in capturing their images from the start, I see no shame or negativity in utilizing software to enhance and bring out the inherent beauty in photographs. While I am familiar with the latest equipment, I am passionate about helping you maximize your photography experience without the need to invest unnecessarily in the latest gadgets. Photography can indeed become an expensive pursuit, but it doesn't have to be. Whatever your photography interests may be, I am dedicated to working with you and sharing all the knowledge I have accumulated over the years to help you become the best photographer you can be. Together, let's embark on a journey of creativity and discovery!
