Added a few additions to my studio. We were shopping on Sunday and I stumbled across this quote, which, I think, works quite well for photography studio. Here is a few images of me putting it on the wall.
Then today, my wall prints has arrived. So now it is pretty much complete. The plan is to add some moody lighting… But that is topic for another post. Enjoy!
I never liked the idea meeting with clients in a local Starbucks and trying to talk to then through the noise of coffee grinding machine. So, we decided to convert office space into a studio/meeting place. Basically, we started from scratch and brought all new stuff. We painted walls and got some furniture.
The moment we tried those chairs, we felt in love with them. They are Luna Chairs designed by Norwegian designer Odd Knutsen. We needed something comfortable and small. These chairs work perfectly for our space and they are very comfortable. I think, clients will love them.
This is the working place to process images and design albums. These M-AUDIO speakers produce very rich and loud sound. Love them:
This Wacom tables is a present from my lovely wife. It is must have tool for graphic designer or photographer. The pen is pressure sensitive and makes image processing a real joy.
Please, help me spread the word. Share with your friends via email, Facebook, Tweeter, etc. Your support is greatly appreciated!
We want our clients to look at their best on images and we spend a lot of time retouching their portraits. Every images in album is getting retouched and enhanced. We have recorded our typical retouching process of one of my grooms. Here is what we normally do:

I can’t recommend highly enough this book to all my friends with cameras. It is a great book about photography and photographic vision. I enjoy every page of it. You can check out David’s web site at http://www.pixelatedimage.com. He also has published several eBooks which can be purchased from his Craft and Vision web site for just $5! The Withing the Frame book is available at Amazon.com.
Enjoy!
I was walking down the water front with my family and friends on Sunday afternoon and took these images. There was a photographer taking pictures of the downtown. I took my first shot. Then he packed and quickly leave. I took the second shot. As we walked back, the sun went down and there were city lights reflecting in the water. Beautiful!
I know, I have a few photographers who read my blog. So, this post might be interesting for you.
My beloved Santa brought me a nice gift for Christmas – several books about photography. The one of them is Visual Poetry by Chris Orwig. I enjoy reading it very much and here is why. The book is not about lens and exposures, it is about how to create better pictures. Once you pass the technical stuff and learn what is Av vs Tv mode, you would need to learn how to create pictures which speak, bring some feelings and make the viewer think. Besides being technically perfect, the pictures has to have some meaning, carry some message, engage some emotions. What do we have to do to create such images? This book may give you some answers. Here is what it says in the book overview:
“A great photograph has the potential to transcend verbal and written language. But how do you create these photographs? It’s not the how that’s important, but the who and the what. Who you are as a person has a direct impact on what you capture as a photographer.
Whether you are an amateur or professional, this guide provides inspiration, simple techniques, and assignments to boost your creative process and improve your digital images using natural light and no additional gear.”
You can visit visual-poet.com to learn more about Chris and his book. I particularly like guest speakers sections in the book where you can learn about other photographers and their work.
The book can be purchased from Amazon.
I have shot these one morning and I can’t decide between B&W or color versions. Which one do you like better?
