Headshot session by the ballpark

Uncategorized

I had a great session with Grace the other day. She performs (acts and sings) in plays in her spare time (which isn’t much). She’s from England and has just a fabulous British accent. She’s also got these stunning clear blue eyes. Chek them out…
Grace has a very genuine smile that came out easily. Making a serious face was a task – when asked how to do it her friend told her to “think of something serious, like dog poo.” Serious indeed.Again, I’ve been lucky to get someone totally laid back.
This is the one that she ultimately chose for her headshot in an upcoming production program.
Keep an eye open for Grace coming to a city near you!

Good luck, Grace!

But I also photographed some beautiful weddings. I started meeting other wed ...

A diagnosis doesn't mean it's time to run through a bucket list. But what it lacks in fatality it makes up for in disability and incredible challenges. It is a chronic, progressive disease.Multiple sclerosis turns the body against itself and attacks healthy parts of the central nervous system (brain, spinal cord, optic nerves). Symptoms may be mild, such as numbness in the limbs, or severe, such as paralysis or loss of vision. The progress, ...

Photography 101: Kiss My Aspect Ratio
This will be my first installment of Photography 101 and I hope it won't scare you away, but I'm going to talk a bit about aspect ratios. Before I get into that, let's start at the beginning. (cue cheesy flashback transition.)When you look through your camera, the shape you see is this:This is the typical ratio of all 35mm cameras out there. Quite specifically, this ratio is 2x3.So you take loads of pictures and you go to get some of these images printed. 4"x6" is the most popular size and it's a good thing, because they conform to the same 2x3 ratio – so you don't lose any bit of the picture.But what if you want a 5"x7" or 8"x10" print? ...
