Comming soon...

I was enjoying a quite moment, which are far to few in my house these days when an idea struck me. I'm a genius; so this happens quite frequently. The idea? A photo a day. One photo, describing one technique I use professionally and how you can do it too. Just one moment in time for each day of a year. I've been working as a professional photographer for ten years now and along the way I have learned a lot, most out of trial and error and long grueling assignments in college. Looking for a new challenge, I thought it would be fantastic to limit myself and see what I could make out of each opportunity. So starting November 1, 2009 I will be on a mission; capture something new, mundane, or somewhere in between, but to do it in a way I've never done before.

As photographers and camera operators alike, so many of us think AFTER pressing the shutter. My goal is to create truly innovative work before I even remove the lens cap, and then execute it with skill and precision.  All images will include a detailed explanation of the process, maybe even a lighting diagram with cute stick figures, and style information to create each photo; that is accessible to photo-geek and layman alike.

Topics will include:
  • Working with natural light
  • Night photography
  • People on location (day and night)
  • Flash in Daylight
  • Cheep substitutes for expensive photo equipment
  • Macro photography
  • Self-Portraiture
  • Wedding photography
  • Painting with light
  • Toy Cameras/Pin Hole Photography
  • Color Balance
  • Panning, motion and blur
  • Enviromental portraiture 
  • Studio photography
  • Still life
  • Expanding your point of view
  • Reflection
  • And 348 other topics yet to be chosen...
Maybe I'll even learn something along the way. You might too. So please, fasten your seat-belts, and follow my blog. See you all November 1.
