An interview you must see!
For those of you who were not aware of Gulf Photo Plus 2011 held in Dubai, here is a little taste of one of the most looked forward to parts of the convention. The Shootout …
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
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!
