Melissa at All Points West
While at the festival, I reached into my back and loaded a roll of portra 160NC film. Or at least I THOUGHT that it was 160NC. When I rewound it later that day I realized that I had grabbed a roll of T-Max 400 instead. So I had a b/w roll that I thought was color, exposed one and a half stops too hot. Oops. Connie down at Accurate Photo near my place in Park Slope just pulled it back a stop which smoothed everything out. Good thing I did it with the b/w and not the color… Read More
PhotoFolio – the next life stage
Almost 5 years ago, I was doing a lot of Flash development work and taking pictures on the side, and I wanted to write a little flash app that would let me stick a bunch of images in a folder and have a nice little gui for people to view them on my site. A couple nights of work and what became Photofolio was born. Once I got to version 2 and added thumbnail support, I posted a version on my site and let people download it for their own use. I figured that if I found it useful,… Read More
Portfolios
It’s the distilled culmination of a photographers work; a collection of their best images, their ‘book’. But how do you choose what photographs you include? And in what format? I’ve spent some time thinking about all this and thought I’d share my thoughts. First off, the physical decisions. How big do you want/need your images to be. This depends on the style of your work to some extent, as a landscape photographers stuff probably won’t look… Read More
Done. And some shots of Owen.
I’m back, and done. 4 days of shooting, 24 people from 3 orchestras, at 3 locations, with over 3000 images to show for it. It was a marathon, but in the end I’d say it went about as well as it could possibly have. Everyone got along, everything went smoothly. Couldn’t have done it without my producer Marlene, Meg my assistant, and PA’s James and Kevin. As well as Jennifer, Carlos, Larissa, and everyone else at the agency. <cue applause> At… Read More
Update Number Two
So, day two of this four day shoot was completed on Thursday, this time on-site in Saratoga Springs where the Philadelphia Orchestra spends their summers. And just like the first shoot on tues, all of the people I met were delightful. My side of the crew was the same with the addition of James and Kevin who worked as PA’s and drivers and such. It was nice having a couple extra pairs of hands when things needed to get done, as there was more driving and larger… Read More
A Quick Update – my back hurts
Sorry for the lack of updates lately. I was away with the family last weekend and now I’m in the middle of a multi-day job. I figured that I’d give you an update and let you in on how it’s going. So, yesterday I had the first shooting day of a four day shoot for an advertising campaign I’m working on. I’m shooting musicians on a green screen, which is fun, and I must say that if they’re all like the 6 I shot yesterday this whole process is… Read More
