  • On Assignment: Theresa Daytner, Pt. 1


    For a long time, business portraits have been my bread and butter. Specifically, run-and-gun, no-assistant, modest-amount-of-gear biz portraits.

    The editorial clients I have do not have a ton of budget. Thus, my goal is to work efficiently and still produce something that works well for the publication.

    A good recent example was an assignment to photograph Theresa Daytner, a local entrepreneur who is a national rising star in the field of construction. It's a typical enough job to where I thought it would make a good example for a 360-degree look at the process. Read more »

  • FUNDAMENTALS (Photo Shooting & Making Of)

    HOMEPAGE: www.jakobkasimir.com FACEBOOK www.facebook.com FACEBOOK GROUP: www.facebook.com TWITTER: twitter.com GOOGLE PLUS: plus.google.com “Fundamentals” is a game between background and foreground, between beauty and dirt. On the one side you have a beautiful model on the other side different layers of special materials. Background becomes foreground and foreground becomes background. Those two things go so well with each other even though they are so different. As well as the impressive background is not stealing any relevance from the model. Every background is real and no editing. Every model is exactly chosen for the right background. The colors of the background are: Fundamental colors: Red/Yellow/Blue Secondary colors: Brown/Green/Turquoise/ Pink/Purple/Orange Other colors: Black/White/Gold/Silver “Fundamentals” also gets subdivided into two main parts: Backgrounds and Food. I created for every color two photographs, one you can eat and one you don’t. The model, makeup, light, shades, temperature, etc. is exactly balanced with to background. So welcome to the fundamentals…

  • Cool Visual Art images

    A few nice visual art images I found:

    Medieval Art and Architecture

    Middle Ages works of considerable artistic interest, literature, art paintings and art sculptures were more realistic Manuscript of Painting production during the medieval period represented by the works of art to promote the study of the visual arts.
    Bring into a different organized body of people under the fall of the Roman Empire learn the techniques used by medieval painters the Byzantine,that problem solved in order to develop skill or understanding were generally somewhat muted.Irish monks established early-medieval art in the mid-8th century,illuminated manuscripts like the Book surviving product of these monks,growing appetite for medieval art as illuminated miniature paintings,Journal’s enthusiasm for articles about the middle ages, recreation of this art work processions.The Byzantine Empire produced much of the finest art of the Middle Ages,a rich culture and produced many advances in art, from across the Empire, finest collection of medieval textile,artistic ideas were transmitted from one region to another to developed using calligraphy and designs, of decorative arts,works have been identified and characteristic of the medieval period.

    Combinatul Fondului Plastic: statui in detentie?/ Romanian Plastic Artists Association Company: decay

    Image by cod_gabriel
    In the communist past, the Romanian Plastic Artists Association used to own a large company for manufacturing special paints and other substances needed for painting, woodwork, a bronze foundry, handicraft, etc. Their work used to be in high demand, especially the handicraft.
    Also, their most important customer used to be the Communist Party – much of their propaganda material (such as banners) used to be manufactured here, along with paintings of the beloved leaders, as well as statues glorifying communism.
    The company still exists, but it hurts to look at what’s left of it. It’s too bad that the demand for plastic arts vanished along with the communists.

  • Rediscovering Backlit Subjects

    Back-LightingPhoto by naughton321

    “Look where the sun is coming from – then position yourself with your back towards it so that it light up your subject’s face.”

    This was the very first piece of photographic advice that I was ever given as a child entrusted with the family’s camera for a school excursion.

    The intention behind it was good and in many photographic situations over the years it has actually served me well.

    However…. sometimes in photography it can be easy to get trapped in a mindset that actually limits the potential of your shots.

    My suspicion is that many people are being limited by the above piece of advice – lighting your subject from the front and avoiding back lighting at all costs.

    The problem with ignoring back lighting images is that:

    • backlight can add drama to an image
    • backlit images can show the delicacy of a subject (think transparent or translucent things like flowers or insects)
    • backlight can help create real mood in a shot
    • backlit images can highlight details on the edges of subjects
    • backlight can reveal textures that might previously have been hidden
    • backlit images can show off the shape and form of a subject
    • backlight can create shadows that add points of interest to an image

    I’m not arguing that backlit subjects are the way you should approach every shot – but ignoring it as an option ca leave you potentially missing out on a very powerful technique.

    Check out some of the following images that show the beauty of power of ignoring the age old advice of always lighting a subject from the front.

    PS: just because your subject is backlit doesn’t mean you need to forget about how they are lit from the front. Using a Fill Flash and/or some sort of reflector is often a great way to get the balance right for a well exposed shot.
