Tuesday, April 3, 2012 at 8:50AM | Post a Comment I’m on the road today and blogging from an iPhone is a pain in the ass… But I feel compelled to share this video. It’s proper inspiration at a time when most of us are drooling over megapixels:

Video Tuesday, January 31, 2012 at 10:38PM | Post a Comment A powerful video from TED providing a proverbial kick-in-the-ass:
For me, photographically, I’ve got a bunch of personal projects floating around in my head that I keep putting off. Not any more, starting today I’m going to make the connections required to get the ball rolling.

Deep, Inspirational, Projects, Video Monday, January 23, 2012 at 9:30PM | Post a Comment This is a fun video, but there’s so much truth to it. Every single cover of every beauty magazine I’ve seen in the past number of years has clearly been digitally (over) enhanced. Anyway, the debate over whether such manipulation of images should be allowed is one for another day. In the meantime enjoy, or loathe, depending on which side of the fence you reside at:

Monday, December 12, 2011 at 4:54PM | 2 Comments I spotted this video over on fstoppers.com the other day, and while it makes me laugh there are some serious pointers in there for anyone seeking to make a living from their camera…
First and foremost, you don’t need a 1-series Canon to be a “professional” photographer, you can get by with far less. You do, however, need to know what both you and your equipment are capable of. If you oversell your ability you will eventually get stung.
If you rely on strobes for lighting and it’s commonplace for it to be banned where you shoot then be prepared for that! ‘Insufficient light’ is simply not an excuse.
For all I know Walmart may well have good printing facilities, but it’s not somewhere a professional photographer ought to be frequenting for their prints. The best results simply aren’t cheap, you need to consider color calibration and the appropriate ICC profiles for the media you’re printing on. If you don’t want to spend the time or effort producing great prints yourself (it is time consuming and requires effort) then outsource the job to a good local printer near you.
Client satisfaction is paramount if you’re growing a business. This pair of “professional” idiots got their arses handed to them in front of a huge audience. I reckon it could have been avoided, even if the images weren’t up-to-scratch.
Food for thought. More coming soon…
