BC CRTV PHOTO TEAM

The Gospel is the greatest story ever told, it deserves to be told beautifully.
It is the prerogative of Beauty to win hearts.
As creatives, we have eyes to see the beauty the space we inhabit.
We document that beauty because ART SPEAKS
Our work reflects the beauty of Jesus and invites others to consider—or reconsider—church.
Our art connects people to community.
Community creates a place for discipleship.
Discipleship is our calling—walking together, living the way Jesus taught.
Through creativity, we bring glimpses of Heaven to earth.

Example of slow shutter. Slow shutter often involves a shutter speed of 1/30 or slower. This photo was likely taken between 1/30-1/15. A smaller aperture is used to both compensate for the exposure by making the image darker and also helps keep subject in focus, allowing greater control over what is blurred.

Perfect example of rules thirds. Subjects placed in shade on a sunny day to even out light. Great ratio of headroom to foot room.

Another use of rule thirds. Our subject is placed on the bottom left third. Photo deviates from real of thirds as the heads of the people are placed in direct center. The rule of thirds gets broken in this case to add negative space to the top of the photo. This adds lots of dramatic effect especially with the light beam in the upper right corner. More foot room was added to compensate for the large amount of headroom, keeping the photo balanced.
