Alexa Part 2
Let’s talk about gels. Every light in this image is gelled. The background light, the rim lights and the main light are gelled. You can see the way I gelled the softbox in the reflection in Alexa’s eyes. Just put two orange, or CTO gels taped to the front of the softbox. You can also put the gels on the inner diffuser.

Gothic Lolita shoot with Alexa
Tweet We spent a weekend shooting Alexa. Time well spent. I absolutely LOVE working with her. She is a great example of what I expect from a model. Pose after pose she gave me slight variations of looks each one a keeper, followed directions to a tee, and just blew my mind. Look at this [...]

Fuji x100 review and tutorial Part 1
It seems like everyone has reviewed this little gem already. It is a fantastic camera. I am not going to repeat the existing reviews if I can help it. I instead want to show you why it is such a good camera. This will be a multi part review with examples from my recent trip to Spain where I used the camera extensively and beside my friend’s Nikon D5000.

How to keep a customer for life
This is Scott and his child. While I was at university, Scott once came out and played music at Finnegan’s wake with me. He was a fantastic musician and played circles around me, but didn’t try to make me feel bad about it like some can do. Scott was killed on his bicycle riding home from school to see his wife and newborn in August of 2008. I took this picture in May.

Portrait help – but what do I know? I can’t even get this picture to fit on my blog.
A friend asked me for tips on how to make her portrait photography better. I am learning just like she is, but I thought I would pass on some tips I have learned along the way. Above is an example of a great shot. You did everything right here, and it is a good example of how what I will write below can come together to make a good portrait. Your color is good, your composition is pretty good, you are at a flattering distance from your subject, the sun is behind her, and you used fill flash. Good job. It looks like you tried different things until you got here. I want you to take consistently great portraits without happening upon one. So let’s start with the basics.

TweetTina was a lot of fun. She showed up wearing a vest covered in comic book characters. We waited for the makeup artist who was running a little late, so we talked about comic books. She is well versed on Marvel and DC. I tested her. Why were there no comic book girl that looked [...]
