Normally when I edit a client’s pictures, I go once through the entire line-up of images on my memory card without pause. I look at each one closely but don’t open up any to edit right away. Then I go through them a second time and choose the ones I want to edit for a blog...

Texture, Part II
Okay, here’s another one. I’m feeling guilty playing with these textures, actually. I don’t know why … it’s so fun and it does look pretty. I think I sort of feel that I’m cheating or something. I want my photography to be authentic and REAL … and clearly I’ve edited these images a lot in...
Texture
Using texture in post-processing has become really popular in portrait photography. I decided to finally take the plunge and try it out.

Creativity?
I really liked this post on a photography blog I visit. This is how I feel about my work a lot of the time … I totally feel in a trance when I’m on a shoot and when I’m driving home I’m almost panicking because I can’t really remember what kind of pictures I got....
4th Avenue Media, Take II
I met up with Lucas and his team from 4th Avenue Media again last week. They needed a few more headshots for their website and I also got some pictures of the team working together. I used my SB-800 flash for most of these pictures (not the one above). I’m so glad I have this...
