I've been silent for some time. Reality is, we suffered an internet outage at home which lasted 10 days (and was compounded by the snowy weather) :/ You realize how internet-dependent we've become when

As mentioned in the comments of my previous post, I will try to explain another compositing technique that can be used for (usually) environmental portraits. The Brenizer Method (from the photographer

For this post, I’ll depart for a moment from the glittering world of fashion photography and talk about a technique that can be used for different types of photography, called HDR, or High Dynamic Range.

I know that very well. I hope my wife never will :) Why is photography expensive? I'd argue that passionate hobbyists (like I consider myself to be) think with their hearts and can rationalize and justify

... what? I want to write about photography (fashion photography being my area of expertise, IMNSHO) Other Steemians are already tackling the basis of photographic technique (I'm looking at you, @Catharcissism

With fashion shoots of any kind, there are 3 types of location that I can think of: Studio Closed Location Open Location Let's discuss (so to speak, since I'm the only one talking, I mean writing, here)

As per the previous post, here is how I organize a shoot. I am not claiming this is the only way to do it :) Some steps may be missing or in the wrong place depending who you ask to. Also, the list below

So You Want To Do Fashion Photography?... ... as a photographer I mean! :) Disclaimer: I am not a professional photographer. Photography is my creative outlet. It started quite innocently and then a

I am bit of a dinosaur, photographically speaking. Now for a bit of philosophy… When I started out, I had a compact camera full of gizmos and I was happy with that, as any good gearhead can be :) The more

I do get this question a lot. I’ve never had an issue with explaining how I took any of the photos I share so it’s not a problem to answer, apart from when there is a “gee your photos are great, you must

I am back :) After a lazy pause dealing with the tons of photos I took during the Xmas break and the first 2 weeks of Jan.. Ok ok no excuses! In my fashion photos images (well, in all my photos, but let’s

I will be away for a couple of weeks and most likely I won't be able to post anything in the meantime... So Merry Xmas, Buon Natale and Feliz Navidad :) And here is a Christmassy panorama :) And a detail

All right. Last but not least, let's talk about what I call "large environmental" wildlife photography. I repeat, I do not claim that there is any science behind my classification ;) just my

If I had to choose, my personal favourite type would be close environmental While the animal is still the main subject of the photo, now we want to show some context that show the animal's surroundings

Time for the 3rd type, full body. In this case we are framing tightly but showing the full (or almost full) body of an animal. There's no hiding here :) The type of animal will be obvious, unless you are

Now it's time for close ups... The (obvious again) idea is to frame the face of an animal. This is essentially portrait photography. The type of animal should be clearly understandable. Depending on the

In my humble opinion, there are 5 types of wildlife photos (irrespective of which type of animal is the subject): Details Close ups Full body Close environmental Large environmental I will split the post

If I had to choose, I am a color kind of photographer. Definitely. My "history" as wildlife / travel / macro photographer before doing fashion made me appreciate color. Sometimes, though, black

The part I like is taking photos. Retouching in Photoshop not so much. But I do fashion photography and retouching is a fact of life with this type of photography. I do use pro retouchers... I know my

I often say that I like fashion editorial photography because it is a planned, deliberate exercise. This is true in general, but I am grateful my earlier passion of wildlife photography taught me to be
