Lighting a Set or Scene
Every photographer has their own preferences as to where to place their strobe(s) when setting up a shot. Now although there are no firm rules to this, I would like to introduce you to a simple theory in which “you” can choose what is best for you in every situation.

From the Fotocare Twitter Feed:

“I’m @FotoCare at a Photo/Video seminar presented by Amber Gray… wonderful!” – Robert Holley

I recently went an assignment on to the Bahamas, namely the Great Abaco Island. Having asked the proper questions such as to the travel arrangements and weather predictions, I knew what best to plan for. We would only be a small number of people, traveling by small commuter plane, taxi, ferry, golf carts, small boats, [...]

We caught up with Elias Wessel on a shoot this week.  Here’s what he had to say:
CK: How did you become a photographer?  Describe your career development?

What are we going to shoot today?
This is a portrait I was commissioned to do for new clients Joanne and Fred. I always want to have the final product reflect the people’s personalities and after getting to know the two of them… they like to have fun, they’re quirky and they both love to [...]

Reminder! Shinichi Maruyama himself will be appearing at Biwa Studios in Long Island City this Thursday.
If you thought his work was gorgeous looking at it from a computer screen or in a gallery, imagine seeing liquid splash intensely right before your eyes. How many chances do you get to see such an artist [...]

Sinar Bron Imaging’s Jack Ridley takes you through a tour of the broncolor Scoro and Grafit packs at Dodd Camera.  Jacks walks through making some action freezing liquid splash shots with Scoro – truly the fastest pack on the market. The flash duration of Scoro is mind boggling.
This demo, which showcased broncolor power packs and other [...]
