Black and White

Amplify’d from digital-photography-school.com

Black and White photography is among one of the most striking forms. Photos sans color require an enhanced use of lighting, shadows, and subject focus. Black and white photography brings out details usually overlooked in standard color photos. Subject studies is the discipline of concentration on one particular subject. Not quite still-lifes, though they share some similar qualities, subject studies focus on one particular object in view.

Beautiful Pictures of Churches

More at the site.

Amplify’d from abduzeedo.com

I really love those old, classic churches. It might be a tiny one in a village, or it might be a gigantic one that took many, many years to be completed. No matter what kind it is, I just know that some of these are so beautiful that they deserve to be appreciated by everyone.

So I went looking for some great pictures of beautiful churches… both in and outside, and got to see amazing shots of these beauties. Here’s my selection… I hope you all enjoy these. To check out the location of each, simply click at the picture to go the author’s flickrstream. Don’t forget to check their portfolio, also. Cheers!

Help-Portrait Heather M. 1998-2009

Amplify’d from www.labellephoto.com

Thursday, September 24, 2009

Just an update to let you know that Rebekah and myself have just finished our first Help-Portrait assignment.
This was a tough one as it was for a beautiful 11 year old girl at Rogers House who does not have much time left.

To be perfectly honest with all you, when I initiated this project in Ottawa, I envisioned taking portraits of seniors in nursing/retirement homes, happy children, single moms, people of modest means etc.

I was a little nervous because of the responsibility and importance of these photo’s.

I spent the weekend editing my shots and on more than one occasion my wife Nicole and I got teary eyed seeing Heathers beautiful eyes and their gaze back… as Nicole said, it’s as if Heather is looking back at us through the eyes of an old soul…

This particular session has touched me like no other and will stay with me for the rest of my life.
I’m sure that Rebekah feels the same…

5 Tips for Photographing Children

Amplify’d from digital-photography-school.com

1. LET THE KIDS HAVE FUN

Children are most expressive when they are being themselves.

2. FAMILIAR ENVIRONMENT

3. PLAY THE EXPRESSIONS GAME

4. PARENTS OR NO PARENTS

Some kids feel shy with other people watching them including their parents. Other kids love having an audience.

5. KEEP IT RELAXED

Family and especially children portraits are nothing like other high stress photographic assignments like wedding or fashion shoots. Keep it easy, relaxed and conversational. Sell your personality before anything else and the bonds you make will last as long as the pictures.
