Krav Maga

Excellent. Thank you so much for sharing.

I imagine that a lot of it may have something to do with an aesthetic that people come to expect of your work. Some time ago I developed a black and white aesthetic because it appeals to me for ...

I'm putting this post here because Lindbergh was a people photographer. And it's in the context of people photography. I once saw where he said that he transitioned from film to digital because ...

I always, at least, give them a card with my website, IG, and email address on it.

I've been doing this for a few years. It's great practice and I've met some wonderful people.

Pic 1: All ambient light, 85mm f1.8. Pic 2: Ambient in a cluttered studio with a little help from a modeling light. 50mm, f1.4.

Yes. Or cluttering up a background with a variety of objects; tables, light stands, etc. In the lobby of the studio I shoot at, I'll often times place various things in the background; mirrors, ...

Not unfair. Just nonsensical. What style of music? What is the branding she's after? What's the purpose of the branding? These are all things that you have no clue about, so any opinion on whether ...

Absolutely. And what's aesthetically negative to one person may not be to another. I'll often times see a photo that many other photographers love that to me is awful. Not because the photo is ...

To simply share them with other photographers. For me, especially in the beginning, looking at the work of others was a great source of learning if it's a photo I admire or even if it's not. That ...

I typically don't respond to comments on my photos because I couldn't care less about the opinions of others. But I'm curious, how could you possibly know what is or is not exactly branding shots ...

Of course it depends on what type of people photography one does, but for me the notion of there being "rules" is kind of goofy. When I look at fashion magazine covers or work by truly great ...

Nury is a local singer/songwriter who wanted some branding photos. She asked if I could do them "in the way you do photos." This was her first ever photo session and she did amazing.

Yes, single point. I typically shoot a little wider than Klaus; generally f8. It definitely helps. And, like Klaus, I shoot with a modeling light on to help the camera's focusing system. I almost ...

Try using back button focus with continuous servo AF. That's what I did with my D750 before I started using a camera with eye AF.

From a lifestyle/editorial day-long session. Shot in bright mid-day sun at 3:19 PM. Sun high to camera left and a little behind Inna. Large handheld reflector for fill and to throw light into the eyes.

I personally really like the look of full sun, or reflected sun portraits. Often, it's possible to get full on or nearly full on sun pointing directly at the subject if you get a little creative ...

I was thinking that they were talking about the general temperature; the sky. You make great points.

That is true.

^^^^ This. I will throw in that I don't agree with the premise that "golden hour" is the best light that professionals prefer. I know some photographers who call themselves "professional" who will ...
