Hi im Tana 30
A portrait photographer / commercial photographer and canvas designer.


tis myself

Photography is a passion for me as well as a job
My camera is how i express my Art and my photos are my paintings
I like old fashioned photography with a digital camera -yes its possible :-D
I like to use colour filters as well as a few tricks i have picked up with practice over time.
All my photographs are as untouched as possible
The colours i get are from using different filters and settings in the camera.
The only editing i do is mainly converting some photographs to black and white , apart from my pop art canvas and t shirt designs . with these i have played with the colour and white balance settings with iphoto.

My inspiration to take my love of photography to a professional level was when i became a mother myself
Its truly wonderful to capture the Innocence on a child's face and and have it forever in a portrait

just the two of us

    "Tana,
    What amazing photos! You see things and shoot in such great angles. Your choice of B&W conversions are bold and crisp. Dramatic style and choices of subjects. You have a wonderful stream, one I hope to learn from.

    "I was just messing around on flickr looking at photos when i stumbled upon babka_babka. I have to admit that i was so impressed by the imagination and varied subject matter that I felt I should join the site and leave a message of my appreciation.

    I love some of the clever lay outs that are on here. Some of the images are quiet stunning. Also as a Hindu I am especially impressed with the Hindu subject matter.

    I'm due to become an uncle in March and will definitely be contact this talented photographer to take some portraits.

    Keep up the good work and I’ll be seeing you earlier next year."

    "Of all the photostreams I've watched at Flickr (and that's alot), Tana's is probably my favorite. The variety, creativity and beauty of her photos are simply amazing.

    Portraits, animals, macros and landscapes. They are all shot with technical precition, but most of all show her great feeling for composition, light and her ability to capture the beauty of things.

    She is also a great contributor to the Flickr community. Sharing her knowledge and giving valuable advices to others.

    One more thing... Do yourself a favour and check out her amazing swan photos. My english just isn't good enough to express how beautful those are."
