I was looking through a session from 2010 last night and was stunned to see that I often made the mistake I now preach against: inconsistency. I wrote last month about the importance of consistency in your abilities before ever trying to establish yourself as a photographer-for-hire. But consistency in post production is also super [...]
I just had an excellent question over on my Facebook page. One reader asked, “How easy, or not, is it to get into child photography? I don’t have children, none of my friends have children but I have a growing interest in investigating the child photography side of things.” Well one thing’s for sure – [...]
There are lots of obvious things you need before you can start a photography business. And as much as this seems like a hobby that you can make money through as you learn, it’s not really that simple if you want to establish an honest-to-goodness business. I mean, how many people open restaurants before they [...]
This week, I got my greedy little hands on a Canon G1 X and I have to say, I was {and still am} absolutely giddy over this camera. Bear in mind, it’s been about 6 years since I even owned a point + shoot so getting this camera was like going from VHS to blue [...]
I can’t remember the last time I read something about photography that wasn’t online. I picked up National Geographic’s recent 50 Greatest Pictures issue recently and was totally enthralled by reading about the behind-the-scenes on some of their most iconic images. One line jumped out at me massively: “A photographer shoots 20,000 to 60,000 images [...]
Have you ever wished that Photoshop could be as quick and easy as Lightroom at simply applying the same edit to many photos? Have you ever loved Photoshop but hated going from photo to photo applying the same action one at a time? Well wish no further because the answer is right under your nose – batch [...]
I first fell in love with Brooke Snow when she started posting the Inspired by Life video series on her blog and I noticed that she was something I was not: calm. Brooke was chilled out and not frantically running around shooting thousands of images. Now, at this point I’d gotten over the spray-and-pray stage where many newbies begin. [...]
I had an email yesterday from a reader named Stephanie who said that she’s caught in a vicious cycle of portfolio building. She doesn’t want to charge while she’s portfolio building because then, she’ll be in business and have all the worries that come with it but she doesn’t want to launch a for-profit business [...]
Lightroom 3 has a pretty clever sharpening system. Isn’t it funny how when you look at a shot, you think it looks pretty great until you get some sharpening going and then you realize that it wasn’t even close to being sharp? That said, sharpness isn’t the most important thing to many photographers and sharpening [...]
There are many different ways to alter the light coming out of your pop-up and external flash units and many different reasons you might want to do it. Personally, I hate the look of the pop-up flash and even the Speedlite when it’s aimed square-on at my subject and am always looking for ways to [...]
