Coming up on Memorial Day

A couple of new portraits shot last week. Scheduling a couple of more sessions over the next day or two. Working up a promotional ad for placement in a local paper and attending a seminar next week on putting together a direct mail piece. Still spending a lot of time moving the business forward. Long days, short nights but wouldn’t trade this schedule for anything. Waiting on some new studio monolights.

Busy week ahead

Open for business signage is now in the front window. Will be meeting with the folks at the Chambersburg Beauty Academy to discuss photographing work being done by their current students for use in their portfolios upon graduation. In addition, I hope to provide their students with real world cosmetology/styling assignments as I build my portfolio. This is also the week that Ray Gehman, a working National Geographic photographer, will be giving a 2 hour talk at a LA Camera in Chambersburg which should be very enlightening as well as a chance to meet some other photographers. Finally, a rework of this site will be started.

Started working with new soft box.
3-light setup using florescent, tungsten, and speed light.

he #6 project was a 30 second exposure at f22 using an LED flashlight. I actually could have used more time. Will try using Bulb on next assignment plus the camera has a multiple exposure setting as well that needs to be worked out. Will start contacting clients next week. I found a great resource in the local business journal. Waiting for the weather to warm up to start spending more time outside.

Week 5

inter still seems to want to linger on. It looks like another week till it gets back to at least a normal temperature. Pictured is a poster project from last week. I called it 9 degrees, probably should have titled the poster “There are other seasons?” Work progressing on getting more programs online. Light painting still holds great interest and will be working it into table top assignment for this week. No word from the neighbors yet. I’m sure strobe lights going off and flashlight beams flying around the inside of house at night has the gossip mills going. Jerry Ulesmann first captured my imagination in the early seventies. Aaron Jones came later. Back then the cost of buying film, developing chemicals and photo paper had to be considered, even if you were equipped with your own B&W darkroom. Color was twice the expense. Digital is coming of age.

Week 4

he journey continues. Have started to work with a few programs that were not available a few years ago. Adobe Lightroom is a photo editing program with a number of mind boggling adjustments for RAW file.

Secondly and just as importantly, I looking more into a “painting with light” approach to my photography. Still in the infant stages but I am liking the over all feel, mood and shadow…and that’s right, dust on the table controls.

Week 3

admin — Thu, 20 Feb 2014 00:26:40 +0000

tarting out the week resolving normal business issues. Most of the equipment is on hand and working great. Will start submitting shots to the Project52.org group. This Flickr group is for anyone looking to stay current or get into photography. Don Giannatti moderates the group, well worth looking into and reading his ideas on the art. He comes with the Creative Director, Art Director to the “Shooter” background. He is refreshingly down to earth.
