Layoff scare | Around 2,00,000 IT employees lose jobs, Indians scramble for job options in the US

Thousands of Indian IT professionals in the US, who have lost their jobs due to the series of recent layoffs at companies like Google, Microsoft and Amazon, are now struggling to find new employment. In order to remain in the country, they are now battling to find new employment within the time frame allowed by their work visas.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella announced earlier this month that the tech giant would fire 10,000 employees, or approximately 5% of its entire workforce, calling it a difficult decision the tech giant had to make to remain a "consequential company" in the face of economic uncertainty throughout the world.

As the job-killing spree in the IT sector continues in 2023, Microsoft is the third company following Facebook and Amazon to announce job cuts.

The current era is one of "significant change," according to Indian-origin Customers who increased their digital spending during the Covid-19 outbreak, according to Nadella, are now optimising it to accomplish more with fewer resources.

Since November 2022, approximately 200,000 IT employees have lost their jobs, including record numbers at firms like Google, Microsoft, Facebook, and Amazon.

Some industry insiders estimate that between 30 and 40% of them are Indian IT professionals, many of whom are in possession of H-1B and L1 visas.

Up next on Taylor Swift, you're wrong about...

Can I write about why Swift is wrong about her philosophical understanding of Karma?

Eastern Philosophy is a little bit outside my range, I'm more of an Ancient Greek metaphysics and aesthetics girly- but I did take at least three classes in which I spoke at length about the Hindu philosophical concept of Karma and have read extensively about it. I can, least explain it plainly to those who might not have heard about it before.

Swift seems to be under the impression that the word karma simply means "What goes around comes around" but that is not the case. Her understanding of it is rather shallow and "westernized."

7 Secret Tips for Perfect Newborn Photoshoots

Welcoming a new baby into your family is a momentous occasion, and capturing those first precious moments through a newborn photoshoot can create timeless memories. At Studio Capture Life, we specialize in creating stunning newborn portraits that you'll cherish forever. Here are some secret tips to ensure your newborn photoshoot is perfect.

1. Timing is Everything

The best time for a newborn photoshoot is within the first two weeks of birth. During this period, babies are usually more sleepy and easier to pose, making it the ideal time to capture those adorable curled-up positions. Plan your session in advance and try to schedule it when your baby is between 5 to 14 days old.

2. Keep the Baby Comfortable

A comfortable baby is a happy baby, and happy babies make for the best photos. Make sure the room where the photoshoot takes place is warm, as newborns can get cold easily. You can also use a white noise machine to mimic the sounds of the womb, helping to keep your baby calm and relaxed. Studio Capture Life ensures a cozy and soothing environment for all our newborn sessions.

3. Prepare Ahead of Time

Preparation is key to a smooth and successful photoshoot. Have all the props, outfits, and accessories ready before the session starts. This includes blankets, wraps, hats, headbands, and any special items you want to include in the photos. Also, make sure your baby is well-fed and has a clean diaper before the session begins to reduce the likelihood of interruptions.

4. Choose Simple and Soft Outfits

When it comes to newborn photography, less is often more. Simple, soft, and neutral-colored outfits work best, as they keep the focus on your baby. Avoid clothing with loud patterns or logos. Many photographers also like to photograph newborns in their natural state, with just a diaper or wrapped in a soft blanket.

5. Use Natural Light

Natural light is the most flattering for newborn photography. If possible, schedule your session during the day when there is plenty of natural light available. Position your setup near a large window to take advantage of the soft, diffused light. At Studio Capture Life, we prioritize natural lighting to highlight the delicate features of your newborn.

6. Be Patient and Flexible

Newborn photoshoots can take time, and it's essential to be patient and flexible. Babies can be unpredictable, so allow for breaks for feeding, changing, and soothing. A relaxed atmosphere will help both you and your baby feel more comfortable, resulting in better photos. Trust your photographer’s expertise and go with the flow of the session.

7. Capture the Details

Some of the most treasured newborn photos are those that capture the tiny details. Make sure to include close-ups of your baby's hands, feet, eyelashes, and lips. These intimate shots highlight the delicate features of your newborn and create beautiful, timeless memories.

Conclusion

A newborn photoshoot is a wonderful way to capture the early days of your baby's life and create lasting memories. By following these secret tips, you can ensure your session is smooth, enjoyable, and produces stunning results.

At Studio Capture Life, we are dedicated to capturing the beauty and innocence of your newborn with our expert photography services. Our experienced team will work with you to create a comfortable and relaxed environment, ensuring your baby's safety and happiness throughout the session.

A Traditional Bride

Kuhu came to me for bridal photos in a traditional Indian saree. Her fiancée joined her and helped Kuhu with draping her saree perfectly and coached her on poses she should do to show off the striking gown. For the eyeshadow, we used shades of gold to play off the gold accents in the saree. We got lucky with mild weather and were able to shoot outdoors in the spring garden with the azaleas in…

Event photography is fast-paced, requiring both technical skill and the right equipment to ensure that you capture every key moment. 

From weddings to corporate events, having the proper gear can make the difference between ordinary photos and exceptional, high-quality images. 

Whether you're an experienced photographer or just starting, having the essential gear will help you work efficiently while delivering professional results.

Here’s a guide to the must-have gear for capturing high-quality event photos.

1. Reliable Camera Body

The camera body is the foundation of your photography kit. For event photography, a DSLR or mirrorless camera with full-frame sensors is ideal. 

These cameras perform well in low-light conditions, which are often a challenge at indoor events or evening gatherings. They also allow for more dynamic range, higher image quality, and better performance in terms of speed and focus.

Some popular full-frame cameras include the Canon EOS R5, Nikon Z6, and Sony A7 III. These cameras offer fast autofocus, excellent image resolution, and high ISO capabilities, making them suitable for various event scenarios.

2. Versatile Lenses

Having a range of lenses in your kit is crucial for event photography. Different types of lenses allow you to capture wide-angle shots, close-up details, and everything in between. Here are the key lenses to consider:

50mm Prime Lens: Known as the "nifty fifty," this lens offers sharp focus and performs well in low-light environments. It’s perfect for capturing candid moments and portraits.

24-70mm Zoom Lens: This versatile lens covers a wide range of focal lengths, making it a go-to option for event photographers. From wide shots of the venue to close-ups of guests, this lens is great for capturing different perspectives.

70-200mm Telephoto Lens: For events where you need to photograph speakers, performers, or people from a distance without disturbing them, a telephoto lens is essential. This lens helps you get detailed close-ups from afar.

3. External Flash

Natural lighting isn’t always available, especially at indoor or nighttime events. An external flash or speedlight is crucial for illuminating your subjects while avoiding harsh shadows. 

Unlike built-in camera flashes, external flashes can be directed and diffused, providing softer, more flattering light.

You might also consider using flash diffusers or reflectors to soften the light further and prevent overexposure. Wireless triggers allow you to use your flash off-camera, creating even more natural lighting effects.

4. Extra Batteries and Memory Cards

Event photography often involves long hours and hundreds—if not thousands—of photos. Running out of battery power or memory space can be disastrous. 

Always carry extra fully charged batteries and multiple memory cards. High-speed cards with a large storage capacity (64GB or 128GB) are ideal, allowing you to shoot continuously without missing any critical moments.

Consider organizing your memory cards with a dedicated card case, so you can easily switch between them during the event.

5. Portable Lighting Setup

For events that are poorly lit or require more control over lighting, a portable lighting setup, such as a softbox or an LED panel, can come in handy. These lights can be used to fill in shadows or create a dramatic effect, especially in portrait shots or on-stage moments.

Portable lighting equipment is lightweight and easy to set up, making it convenient to use during fast-moving events.

6. Tripod or Monopod

A tripod or monopod is an essential tool for event photographers, especially during long ceremonies or when shooting in low-light conditions. 

A sturdy tripod ensures stability and prevents camera shake, resulting in sharper images.

Monopods offer greater mobility while still providing stability for heavier camera setups. They are especially useful for capturing long-distance shots with telephoto lenses.

7. Camera Straps and Harnesses

Event photographers are often on their feet for hours, constantly moving between different locations to capture all the key moments. 

A comfortable camera strap or harness can make a significant difference in reducing fatigue and keeping your gear secure.

Look for straps with padded shoulders or cross-body designs that distribute the camera’s weight evenly.

Dual camera straps or harnesses are great for carrying two camera bodies at once, enabling you to switch between lenses quickly and efficiently during the event.

8. Lens Filters

Lens filters can enhance the quality of your photos in various lighting conditions. A polarizing filter is great for outdoor events as it reduces glare and enhances colors, making the sky look bluer and foliage more vibrant. 

A UV filter can protect your lens from scratches and dust, especially when shooting outdoors.

For low-light conditions, consider using a neutral density (ND) filter, which allows you to use wider apertures or slower shutter speeds without overexposing the image.

9. Backup Camera Body

Having a backup camera body is essential, particularly for important events where equipment failure is not an option. 

A second camera ensures you won’t miss a moment if your primary camera malfunctions. It’s also useful for attaching a second lens, saving you time switching between lenses during the event.

10. Post-Processing Software

Finally, no event photography workflow is complete without post-processing software like Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop. 

These tools allow you to fine-tune your images, adjust lighting and exposure, and enhance colors. 

Having the right software can help turn a good photo into a great one, ensuring your clients are happy with the final results.

Conclusion

Event photography requires a combination of technical skill and the right equipment to ensure you capture every moment, no matter the setting. 

With a reliable camera, versatile lenses, proper lighting, and accessories, you can confidently take high-quality photos at any event. 

At Studio Capture Life, we understand the importance of being well-prepared for every occasion. 

Whether you're covering a wedding, a corporate event, or a private party, our professional photographers are equipped with the best gear to deliver stunning, high-quality results every time.
