TSO in Toledo,Oh

I was keeping up with the theme of Adobe and Christmas. This one was done in Premiere. The pictures and video are from an iPhone 12. I was not sure what I would do with the videos until I put this together today. We love Trans Siberian Orchestra, and this was no different this day at the Huntington Center in Toledo, Oh. Great show. Here is a quick overview that I came up with. Enjoy.

Food Photography

in , ,

While I find my photography within me, I continue to lean toward commercials. I would include food photography also in my portfolio. I have taken an interest and continue to learn this segment. The below picture I took while at an event in Ohio. I wanted to tell the whole story of that evening, and that also included the appetizers that were offered that evening. Using natural light and having it backlight, I began taking a few pictures from different angles, and in this case, I liked the above shot. Next was to find the right crop, and this is what I picked for cropping. I enjoy doing macro photography and enjoying shooting food.

In contrast, I am not a food preparation or artist. I am learning from others what is important and not. You can always learn if you care and then take what you learn and practice. Not once, but multiple times.

Fall and Senior High School Portraits

in , ,

Now that school has started, and the colors are or will be changing. It’s always a busy time for high School Portraits or what we call Senior pictures. Everyone loves color, and for most photographers a busy time. Myself included.

Today I see this part of the business decreasing because possibly more photographers or parents don’t care about pictures like they used to. Whatever the reason is, I have seen a decrease.

For me, I like taking pictures that are different than anyone else. Take, for example, the above picture. This senior loved bowling and wanted that document. I agree you most likely would not hang this picture on the wall, which is why you also have traditional pictures.

One of my favorites and I have many, but one of them was when this senior wanted to know if I could make a picture of one of his favorite movies. So he showed me a picture of what he would like and the rest was having fun.

How about Sports. Yep, again something different.

Maybe it’s Music.

Whatever it is, we will do our best to document what you or your seniors love. We look forward to this year's seniors and more in the future. So to the seniors, enjoy your last year; it goes fast and memories forever.

Happy Mother's Day

I want to take this time to thank every mother out there. A job that is so hard but so rewarding. Happy Mother’s day.

Mother’s Day

I recently purchased a 15-35 wide-angle lens and wanted to get out and practice with it. So going to a local park, I went out to practice and came up with a photo for this day. The picture I came up with was the one I wanted. It is a composite because it was a cloudy sky that day, and the sky was boring. So I added the sky in Photoshop. Cloudy was great for the picture because it's a giant softbox of soft light that I like. Now onto the next picture.
