Technology today seems to make everyone a photographer, with inkjet printers and digital cameras in cell phones everyone can now contribute the to the royalty-free market. Many blame the current economic state, while it should take some credit, the real dilemmas facing photography started before digital cameras in the late 1970’s when the first [...]

Chairs come in many shapes and forms and are constructed from an almost limitless variety of materials. This makes them a great posing aid for models. Don’t get caught up in believing all chairs have to have four legs. While working in the Virgin Islands, I recently photographed a model sitting on a palm tree [...]

While that topic can encompass many areas, especially with Myspace, Youtube, Facebook and other powerful social network communities, one thing they have in common, is [...]

I always like to look at my models as being geometric planes. If a person is standing facing the camera, the model’s body creates a rectangle. However, that rectangle is actually three-dimensional. If you were to measure the fur- thest body point away from the camera to the closest body point to the camera, you [...]
