Stand By Me

I don’t often get out of the house, but today my wife begged me to get out and take a walk. I eventually relented figuring it would do me some good. My best friend -- my German Shepherd dog -- passed away a few weeks ago. Some might think its silly to get emotional over a dog. I don’t think so. I’ve been attached to my dog for almost ten years now and it is very difficult to get past feeling very empty without her. I guess I am still in the second phase of the grieving process and I can recogniz… Continue

Retouching

I added a short video on a simple retouching technique.

Unfortunately the quality is low after uploading so it is difficult to see the small details after each step. This is a very simple case because the model was already beautiful and did not require much retouching of the skin. Otherwise the process would be much more involved. The video does not include any of the steps done in Lightroom for cropping an… Continue

Ideas For Glamour Shoot

I have been mostly idle in the month of May but I now have a few models scheduled for June and looking forward to getting back into something creative. Unfortunately I am running out of ideas for glamour shots. Does anyone have any good suggestions for me to try out? Anything creative and edgy?

Making Money or Making Love?

I just returned from a seminar by Rick and Deborah Ferro called "Making Money with Portrait Art". I felt that half of the seminar was an infomercial for all of their sponsors, but there was some good information interspersed throughout the evening. For one, I agree and recognize that the introduction of the digital camera has changed the playing field for the professional photographer. Nowadays anyone can buy a decent digital camera at Best Buy and get fairly good photos of the family for much l… Continue

Everyone's a Critic

MyShutterSpace is one of the best social networking sites for photographers where all levels from beginner to advanced can get together and discuss and share their love of photography. One of the main benefits that we all enjoy, no matter what level we are, is the photo critique. It is important to realize that photography is an art and its beauty is subjective. Some will like your work, some will hate it, and some will be indifferent -- and most of us just can't resist the temptation to offer s… Continue

Hi Daniel -- Thanks for your support in the photo manipulations post... I always hate to mention stuff like this since the lack for rules is one of the things that makes MSS great... but I agree with you that many of Felix's posts definitely deserve their own discussion...

BTW, I thought that your post in the topic was totally appropriate since you were addressing the same type of manipulation as Sawan... so it goes in the wild world of MSS ;-)
