Elly-Mae Farkas

Photographer: Elly-Mae Farkas

Shooting subjects: Portraiture, Landscape, Fashion, Bands/Live events

Equipment: Canon Digital 350D, Canon EOS 300, Canon Speedlite 430EX flash with diffuser, Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II lens, Canon EF 28-90mm f4-5.6 III lens, Tripod, HP Photosmart Pro B9180 printer.

Elly-Mae's interest in photography began three years ago at the early age of 14, when she started experimenting with any subject willing to be captured. She then expanded into portraiture; first taking self-portraits while she still felt her skills were inadequate to show the rest of the world.

Elly would like to further her skills in photography, as her current skills have developed simply by pressing buttons and hoping the results turns out well! Most of her images are black and white, although she also adores shooting in colour.

Photography has recently taken a larger role in Elly's life. For the past few months, she has been running her own photography business, concentrating on children, fashion, portraiture, conceptual imagery, weddings and live music events.

One day Elly hopes that her photography will allow her to travel the world shooting famous models for well known fashion magazines. Until then, she is having too much fun taking photos of everyday people and printing them with her new HP Photosmart Pro B9180 printer.

Intriguing concepts, poor contrast control and background diffusion (where applicable).

  • Multiple options can be selected

    • Ricoh R10

      Ricoh R10

      Though the R10 has some smart, retro styling and a feature list as long as your arm, it falls down in the noise and performance stakes. Still, the camera's versatility gives you a headstart over its failings.

    • Pentax Optio M60

      Pentax Optio M60

      The cutesy styling of the M60 won't be to everyone's taste, but silver metal accents, 5x zoom and respectable image quality will make the Pentax attractive to adults too.

    • Panasonic DMC-FZ28-K

      Panasonic DMC-FZ28-K

      With 18x optical zoom and intelligent auto mode, the DMC-FX28-K packs a multitude of features into a compact body.

    • Canon PowerShot SX1 IS

      Canon PowerShot SX1 IS

      If you can bear to part with the cash, you won't be disappointed with the superb HD-video and image quality of Canon's superzoom SX1 IS.

    • Nikon Coolpix S710

      Nikon Coolpix S710

      Nikon's 14.5-megapixel offering breaks little new ground in the ongoing pixel race, but it does deliver some pleasing images even if its exterior styling is a little lacklustre.
