International Women’s Day – A Moment to Remember

The United Nations recognized International Women’s Day in 1977 but the day has much deeper roots. It was first celebrated on March 8th, 1913, in Russia, as a peaceful protest against the war. Women’s movements from across Europe rallied next year and March 8th became the day of women empowerment. At that time, women were raising awareness of the war, work conditions, and social issues.

After the Second World War, women’s movements started to speak about equality in the workplace, equal payment, and women’s rights. International Women’s Day became a symbol of femininity, strength, and solidarity. Women reclaimed the right to have an abortion, occupy leadership positions, take action, and celebrate diversity. They were no longer a silent partner but a force ready to stand up for its rights.

Today, March 8th is celebrated around the world. People celebrate the strength and wisdom of women who lead countries and governments; the caring and empathy of women who fight for peace and human rights; the intelligence and creativity of women who master the world of science and art; the courage of women who fly planes and travel in space; the endless love of mothers. They celebrate the great female voices that made history but also their mothers, partners, colleagues, and friends.

Most of all, International Women’s Day reminds us of a battle. It was a long and heartbreaking battle for equality, tolerance, and peace. Women had to fight to win access to education, well-paid jobs, science and research, leadership, and art. So March 8th is about them, the women who followed their paths and proved that we’re all equal even if we’re different.

When you see a woman admiring the ocean you see beauty and grace. But beyond the fragile appearance that charms your eye, there’s a precise surgeon, a teacher in computer science, or an artist. It’s a strong and courageous person who climbed the Everest. It’s also a mother or a grandmother worrying about her family. It’s a friend who never leaves your side and answers the phone in the middle of the night. When you see a woman admiring the ocean you see an entire universe in a human body.

International Women’s Day is an opportunity to be grateful for the wonderful women in your life and respectful for their amazing achievements.

Tips for Party Pictures to Last a Lifetime

Studio Eminence is always happy to be part of your memories. Whether you plan an anniversary, a birthday party, or the craziest thematic party ever, we capture all the details in great images that will last a lifetime. Each party has its story. It may be romantic, fun, elegant, touching, eccentric, or all of them. Either way, it’s timeless and so should be your pictures. Here’re the best tips for outstanding party photo albums.

Take pictures before the party

Follow the entire narrative of the party starting with preparations, table arrangements, and décor and ending with the cake. These details are important because they add to the party’s charm and give you feedback for future events. Besides, you’ve invested so much energy and love in every one of them that they deserve a place in your photo album.

Individual portraits and environmental shots

You have a party for a specific occasion and party pictures should capture the entire atmosphere. Each participant will want to be found in the album. An experienced photographer will capture candid shots and individual portraits as well as group photos and the general mood. You may have props, a photo boot, or dedicated places for group photos. There are many elements you can play with to create a special and unique party.

Capture the sparkle

Each party has its highlights. Fireworks, singing moments, cake arrival, or invited artists are just some of them. The party photo album needs to include all these moments and they can be a handful for an amateur photographer. To make sure you’ll have sharp clear photos in low light conditions, book a professional photographer. Discuss with the photographer before the event and mention all the special moments of the night.

Take pictures after the party

Maybe the juiciest moments of an event are in the after-party pictures. New friendships, old friendships, sunrise hopes and promises, and the memory of a great moment spent together create a nostalgic and touching mood. These morning pictures will warm your heart and strengthen your bonds. It’s the perfect time to gather the entire party for a group picture.

Party pictures are fun and emotional. You’ll never get a second chance to celebrate the first or the 50th anniversary of your marriage, your 18th birthday, or the first summer holiday spent with your friends. Each moment is unique but we can always recall it by looking at old pictures.
