Photo Tip of the Week

As photographers, we are creative people. We have ideas. To move forward on them, I've enclosed a quote from the late great, Jim Rohn.

"So the first step is to imagine what is possible, the second is to have the faith to believe that what is possible is possible for you. And now the third step is that you go to work to make it real. You go to work to make it a hotel. You go to work to make it an enterprise. You go to work and make it good health. You go to work and make it an association. You go to work and make it a good marriage. You go to work and make it a movement. You make it tangible. You make it viable. You breathe life into it and then you construct it. That is such a unique and powerful ability for all of us human beings. Put this to work and start the miracle process today!"

Think about it, with the images we capture, we create miracles every day. It's just a matter of putting them into the proper vehicle that will take us where we want to go.

Wedding Photography Tip of the Day

To be competitive in the wedding photography market it takes a lot of creativity by the photographer. Not all photographers naturally are creative. Most are, but it's also something that can be learned. Create you own pose book by cutting out poses you like from wedding magazines or website screen prints. This will go a long ways towards helping you build your creative mind and come up with poses when you need them in the field. Also make sure you leave yourself enough time to get the shots you want. When you have your pre-wedding meeting with the bride and groom, negotiate for every bit of time you can get. Creativity takes time and in the hustle and bustle of a wedding day, time is your greatest enemy. Be creative but stick to the schedule and do the best you can with what time you have.

Theatrical Photography Busy Season

Sorry gang but March and April are very busy times of the year for me. It is right in the middle of the spring high school theatre season. With my company Show Biz Photo, I'm out and about photographing musical shows for high schools. I've also been busy working on my two books. One is a "how-to" educational book on how to make money with theatrical photography called, "Break a Leg with Theatrical Photography."  The other is a photo book of  "The Best of Show Biz Photo" The book, "Break a Leg" highlights exactly how it all works for me as I introduce people to the "Show Biz Photo System." More information will be coming on my books soon but here's one of the covers. Until then, enjoy some of my most recent photos.
