Wedding Photography 101 for iPad

May 6, 2010 – 3:48 pm

I am stoked to have a 2nd iPad app live in the app store. I started writing a few mini books awhile back to help educate photographers wanting to start shooting weddings or portraits. There are so many questions I get from people that normally are the same questions people have when getting into photography. I also see so many people starting out that lack a certain creative element in their photography. Normally some of the more advanced things like Lighting are missed by most people starting out. So over the past year I have been working on putting down on paper some of the many things in my head that I think people can really learn from.

I wanted to create some guides that were really easy to learn, easy to understand and covered the technical parts of photography but in a not so technical way. As a photographer I am visual, after college I would still keep up with my photo education and read books, attended seminars and workshops and usually was pretty uninspired by the way the information was presented. Normally it was so technical that it lost my attention after a few minutes and I put the book on the shelf never to be picked up again. So I set out to create some tools for people to learn and be inspired and also wanted to create them at a very good price, really a no brainer. When the iPad was released I was excited, it really is a perfect medium to learn on . You have a nice large screen as well as something that feels great in your hand like a book but can be so interactive. So far I have created a Portrait 101 and a Wedding Photography 101 guide that right now are only $1.99!

Here is some more info about the latest app, you can view both apps in iTunes here. These are also available for the iPhone or iPod touch!

Canvas Wraps

November 19, 2009 – 2:07 pm

Why do I love Canvas wraps so much? The easy answer is they are just absolutely gorgeous to look at! We started printing on canvas a few years back and the first sample print I got from my lab I just fell in love with. For me photography has always been an art form and always will be. Great photography is a combination of getting the perfect moment captured with great lighting and then what turns that image into something amazing is in the printing. Choosing the right paper to print on and how the image is presented will make such a huge impact on the final print. A lot of my work that has a romantic feel to it or a little bit of an artistic flair shine when printed on canvas. The extra texture of the cannas can really add to the feel of the print. Taking it a step further with a canvas wrap gives the presentation a very modern feel.

If you haven’t seen a canvas wrap yet they are prints on canvas then laminated and then stretched over a stretcher bar frame. The canvas wraps around the frame so the edge of your image bleeds over the side of the frame. These are meant to hang directly on the wall and usually have a 1.5 inch frame so have a nice depth to them. If you are looking for an amazing way to display some of the images we have created for you give us a call.
