A Career In Fashion Photography
We see them everywhere, in Magazines, on the Run Way, in advertisements on TV. They are the slender women strutting their stuff or extra ordinary Beauties with their sultry looks flashing their pearly whites while wearing the newest Styles from the hottest Designers. We are talking about the fashion models of today, yesterday and tomorrow. They are everywhere we look, but who brings them to us?

Digital Photography The New Way To Taking Photographs

In Praise of Digital Photography
In any discipline, you will have what many think of as “the purists”. Purists are those who revere the way things have always been done and view new innovations in the field as upstarts and obviously of poorer quality than the tried and true methods.
Posing by Not Posing
Hard as it is to believe, portrait photography is considered to probably the hardest of the many specializations in the profession. That moment of positioning a subject in front of that plastic fake background to sit on an uncomfortable chair and make a smile they would never use in any other setting is legionary and not one that you look forward to. And you can tell the subjects, especially the men, are enjoying this about as much as they like going to the dentist.
Start Your Own Photography Business
When you are a kid and thinking about the many ways you can make a living when you grow up, what is the advice your elders always gave you? It was, “Do what you love to do and you will always be happy.” And that has to be true because if you can spend your work week doing what you love the most, it really won’t be work as much as it will be play that people pay you to do.

7 Tips To Help Bring Back Non-Boring, And Possibly Non-Horrid, Travel Photos
There was a lot of response to a post of mine titled How To Bring Back Boring, And Possibly Horrid, Travel Photos here on DPS. It was a sarcastic stab at some problems I’ve had in the past with creating less than exciting travel photos. Photos that bore my friends and family. Some people liked it and some people didn’t (and it’s good to see different people still have different opinions!). But two requests came out of that post: 1) Tell us how to take good travel photos and 2) tells us how to recover our already bad photos.

As with any photography you have to pay attention to the details, the lighting, shadows, subject, and the equipment.
Black and white landscape photography is the hardest section to attain true artistry because you are not relying on the colors as much as the lights and shadows the image will create. Composition is very important. Composition in photography means to look for sharp edges, tones and textures. The basis of black and white photography is getting the camera to see what your eye sees in color; to bring the highlights and shadows forward with the angle of the picture. Typical subjects for black and white photography are buildings and water. Water gives the surrounding trees and rocks a contrast while drawing the eye. Landscape can encompass buildings or bridges among other subjects. Buildings lend to the angles and contrast you seek when trying for definition and emotion.
