    PHOTOGRAPHERS
    Kaio Venturin
    My name is Kaio Venturin and ironically I hated taking pictures as a kid but as I grew I became more creative and found I have a talent for art and photography so fresh out of media calls in college I picked up a camera and built a portfolio good enough for me to pursue it as a job and here we are today.

    Never short on enthusiasm for creativity and like my home country's flag (Brazillian flag)says "Order and progress" and I stand by that.

    Kaio Venturin is available for private bookings

    Available most days except Wednesday and Thursday
    for photography private tutoring (any style or theme) and any events other than weddings.

    Title or Location: Varanasi, India
    I call this photograph my Varanasi Vermeer as it was taken in the textile region of Varanasi, India and carries a similar composition to the Dutch artist's striking works. I especially like the foregrounded window frame and it lends a sense of voyeurism to the image. It was such a privilege to photograph that gentleman after our conversation about his small business...

    Title or Location: Sri Lanka
    This was taken near Sigiriya, Sri Lanka on my 5D MK IV with a my favourite Canon 24-105 L1 lens. It's such a great 'backpacking' travel lens that can handle landscapes, portraits and even some wildlife photography. This gentleman was in the middle of a religious ceremony and found himself hoisted by the hooks on his back from a suspended steel frame on the front of a car. His eyes really tell a tale of commitment, fear and perseverance. It was a real privilege to capture his portrait.

    Title or Location: Hyde Park
    Being a Hampshire hog living in London I miss my large open areas of green. So when walking (and I love walking a lot) I gravitate to the parks. Before lockdown, I used to walk to work through Hyde Park 2 or 3 times a week. Early morning especially in Autumn would provide the amazing sunrises. This is hazy and misty one (one of many) is probably probably favourite and reminds of happier times.

    Vulcan XM655, landed at Wellesbourne Airfield in Feb 1984, Still in running order.At a paid-for up close and personal event there.After a downpour in the afternoon, I managed to get down low and muddy to line up a handheld reflection as a bracketed HDR of 7 shots.As the sun started to set behind me, giving a nice reflective sun hue over the aircraft and minimising shadows. The resulting standing water gives a great reflection in reverse.45mm 1/30 f4

    Photo taken at Osaka Aquarium, Osaka, Japan. This was a pretty cool aquarium. Several tanks were several stories tall with viewing area on each floor. This photo is of a Black Crown Night Heron. Shot with my Nikon Z8 Nikon Z24-120S 4.0Processed with Photoshop Topaz . I shoot raw so I used several adjustment layers to achieve the desired look.

    Title or Location: Christmas Boxer
    I was testing out a new backdrop that I purchased for a family mini Christmas shoot that I have coming up. I used to make my children be my models but since they are grown Zeus, my boxer, was such a good boy and was my model. This was shot on a Canon EOS 6D with the EF 24-105mm f/4L at 24mm, ISO 320, 1/160. I used two Alien B800 strobes with white umbrellas.
