Photographer Madara Pumpure is convinced that anyone can look great in photos and, trusting the right photographer, create beautiful memories.

I have observed that

My photo sessions allow people to learn to feel free in front of the camera;
My works improve people's self-esteem - they didn't know they could look so beautiful in pictures;
People call photo sessions with me a therapeutic experience.

Before taking pictures

I give advice on how to prepare successfully if necessary;
I share Pinterest ideas;
I answer questions, listen to wishes.

During the process

I give instructions on posing so that the person looks as good as possible in the picture;
If the atmosphere is fun, I don't shy away from jokes;
I help you feel free with various relaxation techniques.

The main goal of a photo session is to get not only beautiful photos, but also a pleasant experience and feelings of photography. One of the components of the experience is receiving the photos, so I am also very punctual with the processing time of the pictures - I do it within 2 weeks or a month at the most. I take just enough orders to meet deadlines.

About me

I am friendly, open and kind-hearted by nature - this is also my work style as a photographer. Because of this, many of my clients become good friends with whom we meet regularly for photo shoots. I usually want to get to know everyone, but I don't push, because I want it to happen naturally and both parties feel comfortable.

Photography is not just a profession for me, it is a matter of the heart.

I have always had the opportunity to give up this profession, but I choose not to do it again and again, because there is something magical about making people happy by creating beautiful images for them in a pleasant atmosphere. I enjoy this job from the beginning to the long processing of the pictures, during which I often smile, because I am very grateful that I have been given the opportunity to be present in a person's special moments and capture them.

About me in brief:

15 years of experience in photography;
I have attended photo training classes for 10 years, where I learned not only the technical nuances, but also the history of photography, its most outstanding authors, how to create a concept for photo stories and how to create them;
I photograph weddings in the summer and studio photo sessions in the winter;
Every year I attend at least 2 master classes , to improve my photography skills;
I believe that the work of a photographer is not just a profession, but an aesthetic lifestyle;
I have studied human psychology and communication skills.

Photography style

I photograph in a documentary style with a creative touch during the photo session.

A little about my style:

Really likes creating the mood of a movie;
I like to capture happy moments, but I'm not afraid of sadness either;
Use of natural and soft light;
In the photo session, I make the shot thoughtfully beautiful, aesthetic, leaving behind everything superfluous;
Shots of detail and mood that make up the story.

Photography is a testimony of an era (historical moments) that makes moments eternal and always alive.

Photo session environment

I know how to see a beautiful shot in places that others would pass by, so I can also help you find a photogenic location:

Near nature — beach, meadows, forest, lake, manors, castles, apple orchard, botanical garden (May-October);
In the urban environment — meadows, parks, Old Riga, beautiful street views (May-October);
In my photo studio or other rented premises.

But in general I've photographed in any environment and I'm open to creative ideas, and I have a huge Pinterest board with inspiration pictures for the location.
