About technique and more.
We all want to improve our skills, we all want to be different in our work and be recognized as having an own look. However somehow most photographers are “stuck” in what they saw, what they learned or what they found out by accident and keep using that over and over again. And some photographers use a setup that is the same every day, simply because it works.
Yesterday we talked a bit about preparing the shoot and taking care of the model, today some more tips.
I think one of the most asked questions during my workshops were I also shoot motion must be the question “Frank, what shutter time do I use”. When I say that this in fact doesn’t matter (when shooting in the studio) I often get the question “You’re kidding, now tell me”. Somehow people have a problem of understanding shooting motion in the studio so I thought it would be interesting to do a small blog post with some tips about this subject.
Ok, I hope this one will fire up a “healthy” discussion on Google+ and my blog, so feel free to join on both posts.
Normally I don’t have a lot of time to watch my favorite podcasts, but when I’m driving I have time and so yesterday (while driving) it was time to catch up to some “the grid” episodes, don’t worry I just listen while driving. And one episode triggered me to write this blog post, you can find it here : http://kelbytv.com/thegrid/2011/10/13/the-grid-episode-27/
As you might know I teach a lot of workshops, and during most of these workshops the students also shoot their images of course. The discussion on the Grid was something that I also discuss with my students, and I thought it would be fun to give you my PERSONAL opinion in this blog post. So hang on tight…. here we go.
