there is no better feeling than seeing your photo in print


I just viewed ur instagram, ur photography is really nice and lovely :smile: reminds me of dazed and confused magazine photos :smile:
my brother used to sell really old cameras like hasselblad and others as a hobby and is self taught too, he has had a big collection, I dont know if he still has all of them or has sold them all.

The World, but from BK
I got a baby shower to shoot in this place on Saturday Events.

Aside from my fuji 24mm and fuji55-200mm, I'm gonna try to sneak in this Rokinon 85mm 1.4. It's totally manual so I'm gonna see how it works out. I shoot about 90% in manual, but it's just being able to see the lens/lighting details on my screen that will be something different for me. Either way I will knock it out. Rustic is always a good look.

Headed to this in Oct. Always wanted to go to a photography trade show. Only a 3hr drive from me here in Cleveland

Photo Plus Expo | Photography Tradeshow for Pro Photographers

If you guys are nearby, you should check it out.
I was just at ImagingUSA in Nashville this past weekend. Really dope experience, learned a ton and met some cool people. Realizing I need to change some things up with my business. Also I need to use my drone more and become certified.

I know this is more for stills but daps+rep if you can tell me how this effect is achieved



Is it settings?
Is it the camera they're using itself?
Is it done and augmented in post?

It's a very visually stunning video and I have seen artist who's photographers use a similar style but go figure they all wanna delete their work.

Thoughts. Trying to take my work to the next level and incorporate this kind of lighting and color pop

To achieve that look is through color grading. Like in Lightroom it’s just adding a layer of split tones in the video. To me it looks like a mix of blues and oranges they graded with.

First set of images processed using Capture One
:ehh:


ur photos are really nice, I saw the photo of the homeless man sleeping on concrete, on your instagram :( such sad photo but I find photos like that the best that show not just the pretty things in life but also the bad reality.
Thats reason I love Stephen Shames photos, if you know about "Bronx Boys" and his photo work on life of street kids. :( did you know there are over 150 million street kids in the world.
