Lots of people are getting into photography, and many jump into wedding photography hoping to make some “quick money.” Its easy to get discouraged early on if you are trying to find work and you don’t seem to have brides lining up to have you photograph their wedding. I like to tell my brides that you get what you pay for. If you want to invest into one of the most important decisions of your life do you want to have an inexperienced person holding...

Modeling Pics, a photo by fhfotos on Flickr.
If you want to model and get signed with an agency you might want to keep a few things in mind…
First- there are many types of modeling people can do: hand modeling, fitness, lifestyle, high fashion, runway, beauty, so find out what your look is and work towards that.
Second- Find a great photographer to build your portfolio. Ok I think I need to mention this because sometimes people misconstrue what I’m trying to say. Don’t just find someone that takes great pictures of a cat, or nature, or even weddings,...

Project Pink '11, a photo by fhfotos on Flickr.
It’s that month again… National Breast Cancer Awareness month that is… It was around this time last year when I was first contacted by one of the largest fashion bloggers in the bay area to come and support Project Pink fashion at Westfield Valley Fair hosted by MODE Bay Area. With great food, a great show, and great young talent including a handful of Designers such as Ann Taylor, Banana Republic, Betsey Johnson, and Franco Uomo, to name just a few of the many that were introducing the latest fall trends it was an evening...

Macy's Glamorama Passport Presents '11, a photo by fhfotos on Flickr.
There comes a point where it’s not just about the work, but it’s about the work and making money. Eventually many of us want to be part of something bigger than us. This last weekend I was able to contribute my photography to causes that were beyond just myself. I was able to be a part of Macy’s Passport presents Glamorama, which featured Bruno Mars and Far East Movement as well as a great night of art, dance, and fashion. The Orpheum Theatre was packed that night as many joined to support...

Testing Light in studio
I’ve recently been expanding my knowledge in photography, in terms of lighting. Photography, in essence, is understanding the principles of light and being a master of manipulating light. It’s been a long road for me, and I’ve come so far and have such a long way to go but one thing I have learned is that that its one thing to “know” and its another to try it out. I’ve been watching videos, reading books, and slowly my images have been getting a bit more dimension and technical...

Child Model: Sophia, a photo by fhfotos on Flickr.
I just completed a baby-modeling shoot! It was a bit different than normal portraits because of certain limitations but overall it was a great shoot! If you didn’t know when I’m not capturing images as a photographer I’m usually working with children. Kids are great because they usually feed off the energy that you come with so it’s great for me because I tend to be fairly energetic. The key to capturing great images is patience and timing. I’m not a fan of the spray and pray method; you take tons of images...

Lissa Lew Editorial style shoot: the last drops of summer, a photo by fhfotos on Flickr.
The one thing about an Impromptu shoot is that you never know what you are gonna get. That morning I woke up all kinds of inspired as I looked thru dozens of images from a variety of places. I imagined the weather, the locations, but it can be difficult to get them to be exactly how you planned it. For me I’m used to having my plans changed on me, and having to completely adjust and rearrange my own plans. Flexibility, punctuality, and creativity are key for becoming a photographer....

Beauty + Headshots, a photo by fhfotos on Flickr.
I’m keeping my post a bit shorter this week. But basically I wanted to show a bit of my work I haven’t really posted until now. I’ve been working on my touch up craft, and it’s been a long process, but I’m getting better at postproduction. I can’t give you much help in this arena until I get a bit better and more consistent at this. What I can say is that when it comes to head shots I really try to capture the emotion of a person. For me when it comes to images of people, emotion is what captures the heart...
