It's possible to shoot portraits without strobes. Here's a short video showing the English portrait photographer, Lor Snowdon, at work. Notice the Black Curtains on the window, and how they are...

Doesn't make any difference if you are using a Panavision Film camera, an Arri Alexa Digital Cine camera or a DSLR, motion capture is all about story telling. Story telling, Not gear. So you...

Audio-Video Technicians have nothing to do with making videos. This is like saying that a Surgical Technician is a Surgeon. Editing is a specialized skill that has more to do with Directing than...

A footcandle is 10.764 lux. The motion picture business works in footcandles in the USA. Some cine light meter can be set to read footcandles, lux or f/stops. 100 footcandles or 1,000 lux at...

The world is changing, it's not 1900, 1950 or even 2000 anymore. At one time getting a portrait taken was a Big Deal, not so much now. One of my friends stopped doing portraits, now he just does...

No, what I'm saying is that most people think that Wedding/Portrait/Event photographers are the ONLY pros :( I guess they think the cover of People magazine is shot by fans using smart phones...

@BAK. isn't that amazing! Professional photo for FREE, and they took a pass. As photos became ubiquitous, they seem to have lost their value. Why would someone want to buy candids, when they are...
