Alright ladies and gents, here we come to a question that seems to cause a lot of confusion with people because one person thinks that everyone should know what they are talking about and the other person does not want to seem stupid by asking questions. Depending on who you talk to, a test shoot [...]

Last night, I tried lightning photography for the first time with some amazing results. Since I was not sure about the proper exposure for lightning photography, I was playing around a little before I got the camera set properly to ISO 100 at f/8.0 with a 15 second exposure. All the pictures looked really good [...] Definition: What is a Sweet Spot? If you are serious about your photography and want to book an outstanding model, your best bet is to go through an agency. Not only do most agency models fit the general requirements of the fashion industry as excellent clothes hangers, they also know how to pose and will certainly help you create better pictures [...] For those of you who can’t wait for the elaborate answer, here is the quick overview: Commercial Photography sells a product. Now for those of you interested to learn more, please read on. Just take note that the borders between those different types of photography are fluent and may [...] A little while ago I had a discussion with someone about memory cards. In his opinion, all memory cards are the same and you should just buy the cheapest one. In my opinion, memory cards are different with respect to the manufacturing quality and the quality of the internal parts. In order to stop him [...] A little while ago, I wrote an article about the best Microstock websites for people to earn easy money with their photographs (here). I received a few responses from people asking me how to prepare their photographs for approval and how to use keywords, so I decided to write an article on this topic as [...] Several fellow photographers have been asking me about Stock Photography and Microstock Photography, so I found it time to write a little compendium. While I understand that there are several Macrostock photographers out there who dismiss the Microstock model, I feel like it has a not insignificant earnings potential. While you need to upload at least [...] While the judge made several unqualified statements with regards to photography and equipment, it still holds true that one gets what they are willing to pay for. While the market is flooded with photographers who are willing to shoot at very low prices, the quality you will receive from these photographers is simply below what [...] I always thought the acting in those Spanish soap operas was odd, but it’s nothing compared to their head to body ratio… Thanks to my wife for finding this. The original can be found here. I bet many of you have heard a quote along this line before, usually followed by “Target only charges (insanely low amount) for a portrait.” I tell those clients to go to Target to have their portraits taken and come back to me when they aren’t happy with them. Other people ask, why I charge [...] First of all, if you don’t know the difference between touching and groping, you may want to look it up. Some photographers seem to be very concerned about touching a subject, I am more concerned to keep models from touching me. Just joking. From my experience, touching a model or any other subject can ease tension [...] While most professional models know how to pose and are very aware of their surroundings and the lighting, many amateur models are unaware of their bodies and have problems finding a pose that goes with their body type and your concept. Ideally, the model will pose on her own until you tell her to hold [...] Photographing weddings is a tough job to do, especially if you have no idea where to start or what to take pictures of. If you follow a few simple guidelines though, and know at least the basics of photography, you should be fine. To help you understand the implications of wedding photography and the different [...] Many of you probably have seen HDR (high dynamic range) images in the past. Oversaturated images with strong shadows and highlights that look very surreal. To do such a thing, simply go into Photomatix Pro and play with the adjustments. Doing so is not the purpose of this article though. We will be talking about [...] Many people have heard that one should never ever and under no circumstances photograph against the sunlight. Hence, most people shoot others with the sun hitting the subject’s face, which causes very off highlight-shadow combinations which usually come along with squinty eyes or grimaces. My wife is not much into photography, when asked, she actually hates [...] Last week I ran into a little bit of a problem. I wanted to install the latest version of DPP on one of my computers but I realized that during a clean-up, we had thrown all the Software CD’s away. I went to Canon’s website and checked for a download link, but for some reason, Canon [...] |

Flickr: How to get noticed and increase your exposure
I just recently signed up for Flickr and spent about a weekend figuring out what gets you the best exposure and what gets many viewers to notice you. For me, Flickr is not only a place to display my photos, but also a marketing tool that links back to my main website (Imaginis Photography) and [...]
