Hello all,

What type of photogragphy interests are you most interested in? Do you enjoy portraits, nature, still life, landscapes etc.
Personally I enjoy doing portrait work the most. Being able to work with another person and capture a moment and to be creative is what inspires me.

Fashion Photo Shoot

August 12, 2010 | News | No comments

Hello All, 

Last night I had a photo shoot with Stephanie for my latest class assignment  through the New York Institute of Photography which is all about Fashion! The instructions didn’t give a lot of detail other than hair, makeup, clothes, and the works. It was up to me to choose how I would want to creatively compose the shot.

Stephanie, a former model for Code Modeling Agency in New York has worked around the globe in magazines such as YM, S magazine and Korean Vogue and campaigns such as Nubest and Broadway/Kiss.

The setting: I was on one side of a black steel type gate while Stephanie was on the other side. While at eye level Stephanie conveyed a powerful stare while the overall shot is composed as if she is behind bars. Pictures will be posetd soon!

What type of photoshoot would you like me to shoot next?

Do You Have a Passion for Photography?

The New York Institute of Photography offers a one of the kind certification program that you can do all from the convenience of your own home!

I’m currently enrolled in the Complete Course in Professional Photography and its one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

I’ve been able to take my passion and harness and excel in what I love… photography. You learn all the fundamentals of how to use your camera and capture the type of images that you want to. The course covers various type of photography: sports, nature, movement, and fashion.  

How do you keep your subject in focus while making the background blurry? How do you capture people in motion such as sports photography? You also learn all the fundamentals of starting your own business and are provided with such materials as model release forms, a tripod, a light umbrella, a zip drive disk, a grey reflector card and more…

As I finish Unit 5, (there are 6 units in total) I truly recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn more. You have 3 years to complete the course and it can be done all on your own time.

 Have you taken any course work in the field of photography? I want to hear your thoughts and advice to those who would like to learn more about this field.
