What a difference a….. makes

Ok shot, but not interesting enough, right ?

Now you hear a lot of talk about what makes a good image.
So many times you see the light that’s awesome, a great model and a great location, but there is something missing… in most cases that’s expression. However you can also enhance an image even more by knowing which lens to choose.

 

Going for a more extreme look can be awesome, and add a wider lens will really give you something cool.

Help Portrait 2012

December is the month of the holidays, over here we have Sinterklaas and christmas, in the US of course thanksgiving (around December) and christmas and maybe in other countries there are also other holidays, but for most people it’s the month that we all look forward to…. however what we often don’t realize is that there are a lot of people who don’t really look forward to that month, maybe due to the loss of a loved one or simply because they don’t have anything to look forward to….

 

That’s why a few years ago Jeremy Cowart decided it was time to give these people something worthwhile and because (just like us) he is a photographer that had to be a portrait, the movement was called Help Portrait. At this moment Help Portrait is a worldwide movement with many countries participating and many many photographers and volunteers working together to give people that really need it a portrait (we call it the portrait of hope).
