Welcome to Fari Creative Photography. To create exceptional artistic images, to have an impact on those I’ve crossed paths with along my journey, and to build relationships is to have paramount gratification as a photographer. I love that each session becomes a profound learning experience for me and I revel in the more candid moments! Holding my camera brings an instant shift in awareness and an ability to see things differently. I'm reminded of the endless beauty in this world. Photography, for me, is a pursuit without boredom...an ever-evolving, fascinating and truly fulfilling profession. Where words do not suffice, an image can express client-specific nuances, subtleties, and beauty. To capture how someone looks is great...but to capture how someone “felt” is inestimable.
One of my favorite quotes reads:
““Creativity is a lot like looking at the world through a kaleidoscope - You look at a set of elements, the same ones everyone else sees, but then reassemble those floating bits and pieces into an enticing new possibility. Effective leaders are able to.” ”
Neida Nieves, Photographer
And so it is. I create images, certainly taking risks along the way, but always embracing a great sense of photographic style and my own perspective that I can share with others. My ultimate goal is to capture the essence of the people I photograph, and provide my clients with simple, elegant, artistic, intimate, joyful and timeless images.
Launched in 2013, Fari Photography is based in the Central Florida area.
What's my photographic style?
I'm in love with so many different styles of photography, but my specialty encapsules creatively styled shoots, mainly shot in natural light and often adding fine art/artistic elements via Photoshop/Lightroom CC . I love a creatively styled shoot since it allows incorporating my passion for design and decor right smack into my photos. I enjoy doing styled portraiture of children, maternity, newborns, high school seniors, families, lifestyle and more.
What's in my camera bag?
I shoot with a Nikon D750 and among my lenses, I often default to my NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR Lens, simply for its great bokeh and versatility.
How do I edit?
I've been using Photoshop/Lightroom for approximately 20 years, so it's become my go-to software for editing pictures. All of my post processing is done using Photoshop CC, Lightroom, and Camera Raw. I won't change how you look - you're already donned in your total awesomeness - but yes, I'll remove a blemish, a pimple or stray hair, adjust exposure and play with color. This is where I add a bit more of my personal photographic style and do my best to enhance an image to make it look its best before I present it to you.
What's with the name?
Originally, at birth I was donned with the name "Farides." A couple of months later, my mother had a change of heart, and renamed me "Eneida." While brainstorming for a business name, I knew it was important to opt for something unique - a label that would distinguish my brand from a sea of other amazing artists. After a bit of research, I discovered that "Fari” (short for Farides) meant "to be a creative and independent diligent worker, with an urge for originality; to do; to make."
“Fari”....how perfect!
