About Me

I am an editorial portrait photographer based in Coral Springs, Florida. Capturing and creating interesting images is always top of the list when working with any of my clients. There is nothing more interesting to me than creative portraiture and the journey used to get there. I hope you enjoy the content on my blog. I wanted to have a blog that was not just a self promotion filler on the web. It is my hope that you will come here to see not only the techniques I use when shooting creative portraiture but the techniques I admire in others. Let's face it, not much we do is completely original. Most of it just has been done differently in the past. I hope to show you, inspire you and point you to where we all can create portraiture that is unique and capturing to the soul. When it comes down to it, a lot of photography is about how you may a viewer feel inside. If you can do that, your shot is a success. - Ken Tucker

No “Real” Post Today

Monday, March 21st, 2011

Due to a busy weekend I was unable to prepare my normal Monday post. In relation to my last post, I spent a great deal of the weekend reorganizing my images and backup. I basically separated personal files, RAW files, ECO (Electronic Copyright Office) Files and pre and post production JPG/TIFF files over 4 terabytes of storage and 4 drives. All of that does not include the off-site storage I use for client presentation and just plain storage. What I may end up doing later this week is (probably Friday’s post) showing my actual workflow from start to finish on a basic portrait image. I haven’t decided how I will go about it just yet but I will come up with something. I’m sorry about the post today but hopefully the process I took this weekend and plan to show in a future post will help some of you establish a workflow that might be better suited for your work. Have a great day! — Ken

Lessons for the Pros – Workflow and Backup

By ktucker · Comments (0)
Friday, March 18th, 2011

This is a video that I saw sometime back that I have always been meaning to share. A couple of weeks ago Frank Doorhof tweeted a video of a photographer’s really elaborate studio setup which aesthetically I am sure we would all want to have something similar. I have always been amazed at how Chase Jarvis handles his workflow and backup from shoot to recovery in his Seattle studio. I know I have worked to duplicate similar aspects of Chase’s workflow and backup strategy and it has been an extreme benefit to my organization and access to client files. There is not a lot you can say about this except … watch it, soak it in and learn. Enjoy!

Light Fight 2010. Arias vs. Groupp

I know I said that I was going to give an example today of making a great image in bad conditions but of course Florida offered me nothing but the most fantastic weather this weekend. I would have to say it was the most beautiful weekend we have seen in a long time. I did shoot a model in a situation that was not ideal and created what I think is a striking image in about 10 shots. The issue is that I don’t have the release for the model yet so I can’t post it. That being said, I will not leave you hanging today as I am trying to stick to my Monday/Friday post schedules. I was searching the net in hopes of finding a video that might still get my topic across to readers. Luckily Atlanta based photographer Zack Arias and Jason Groupp have come through as usual with their own shootout filmed a few months ago. This is a great watch and actually hits on many of the topics I have discussed in the last couple of posts. As photographers in the digital age we get so used to looking at the lcd whether we are “chimping” or looking at the histogram. This video demonstrates how you can add a twist to the technology. Watch as Zack challenges Jason to shooting with the all-purpose gaffer’s tape over the lcd. This is a great model video for going out and challenging yourself with fellow photographers. Enjoy!
