Something New...

Had the chance to shoot a business head shot for a friend. I had not had the chance to do this type of shoot before and I really wanted to knock it out of the park. I kept the lighting simple with one flash and a 42" shoot through umbrella. I used a 85mm lens on my 5D mark II to keep from distorting her face. I shot this in her home against a empty white wall, so in the post processing I added a neutral background and used a few different techniques I had been wanting to use for a while to touch up the portrait. Here is the final result along with a before and after for you to compare!

Its crazy...

I know this is supposed to be my photography blog, but I have been to pre occupied with the loss of my bestest pal to do much shooting. Today I was out in the yard with Bella, our other chihuahua, and the neighbors came out and asked about Charlie.  They were upset that he didn't make it. They told me how he made their day when he was outside and would bark at them.

How much to charge.....

This is something I have been struggling with ever since I decided to start charging for my work. Especially since the area I live in is not one of the wealthiest areas in the state. I recently have been watching Jasmine Star on www.creativelive.com and she gave a lot of insight on how to build up a successful wedding business. She also mentioned a forum she frequented whn she was starting out, www.opensourcephoto.net While I was on that site I discovered a link to "The Greatest Pricing Guide Ever" As the name suggests its a guide to helping you establish your pricing. I haven't read it all the way thru yet, but what I have read of it, its awesome! I highly suggest taking a look at it if you are having problems with your pricing. You can find it here....
