Stock photography is demanding. With millions of images to compete against, standing out from the crowd seems darn near impossible. Some of the most successful stock photographers have established a brand for themselves. Their style, subject matter, and high quality make them hugely popular with image buyers. Today I will discuss branding your portfolio and […]

We have all been a subject in a few awkward Christmas photos. My worst years were from the ages of 10 to 13. Yikes! I was a pudgy, gap toothed, little girl with a bad haircut. I had my pretty years, and now I am a pudgy pregnant lady. I suppose my bad haircut days […]

It all seemed so glamorous then, back in the heyday of black & white prints, trilby hats and the golden age of the 30’s grand film studios, the paparazzo was seen to be an icon himself, moving and shaking with the subjects he intended to capture on film. Popularized by the 1960 film La dolce […]

Fall happens to be my absolute favorite season. This is partly because of the cooler weather and the end of my red faced suffering (which was especially bad this year due to pregnancy), but mostly it’s because of the visual changes. I adore the warm vibrant colors in the foliage! In honor of the best […]

Recently, I wrote a post about female faces and feel that it’s time to feature some pictures of male faces as well. As an aside, I am about nine weeks pregnant, often sick as a dog, and always bone tired. I don’t have the energy to post much at the moment as a result. So, […]

So, I just found some light painting photography on Flickr, and decided to write a little article about the subject. I’ve also culled through Flickr for my favorite ten examples of this form of photography for your enjoyment. I’ve not really experimented with this type of photography myself, so I had to research some good […]

The subject of 3D photography seems to be coming up in my life a lot these days. First, my husband has been interested in the subject for much longer than I have. He’s one of those people who enjoys creating interesting and useful things with unexpected components. A few years ago I remember seeing him […]
