Find Photo Clients NOW Webinar This Thursday
THE WEBINAR! I want to share a few things about the Find Photo Clients Now System, and why I know it will help emerging photographers in smaller markets develop a real and meaningful approach to business. I will discuss how it came about, how I used it successfully in...
The Always Challenging “Pour Shot”
The pour shot may be one of the most challenging of commercial photography's many challenges. Getting the pour to look right, making sure the liquid is lit so that it looks great, catching the action as it happens... so many things to monitor as the photographer...

2015: A Postmortem and Retrospective.
We humans love to think in terms of beginnings and ends, and where, in reality, January 1 carries no more significance than any other day, we see it as a beginning of a new year full of promise. And that is fine with me. 2015 was a difficult year for me, and I am...
Shooting a CD Cover: Front and Back (Project 52)
This past week we have been reviewing the CD cover assignment for the Project 52 2015 group. The assignment was for a cover and back image for a String Quartet performing Samuel Barber's String Quartet Op 11. The assignment specifically noted that the string quartet...
Exceptional Portraits (from the workshop)
One of the most exciting and ultimately satisfying things I am doing is the 8 Week Workshop courses. We mostly focus on portraits, but are beginning to expand out with an upcoming Still Life Workshop as well. And more ideas are in the works. This last week, we studied...
