Portraiture: Photographers Tips For Better Portrait Photography

By Jerry J. Jansen On March 18, 2010 NO COMMENTS

Like any other aspect of photography, a key element of good portrait photography and what makes a good portrait photographer, is an eye for detail. The photographer needs to be cognisant of the elements that will come together in the arrangement of his composition.

 Understanding that it is the detail that determines the excellence of the composition, the professional photographer will be on the lookout for a myriad of potential problems and issues that may have a detrimental impact on his composition. They will also be aware of props that can help to convey additional meaning for the viewer, helping to better describe the portraiture subject and enhance the composition. 

 It is important to remember that portraiture is generally for more formal occasions and that formal portraits are likely to attract the closest scrutiny by existing and future clients, friends and associates, employees, visitors. Therefore, taking care of the little details that may make or break a portrait is even more important.

A professional photographer is reliant on good portrait taking skills to build his reputation so missing such things as trees, lamp stands, lighting towers  TV antennae, ( the list goes on) seemingly emerging from the subjects head is unforgiveable. More subtle detail

By Jerry J. Jansen On March 17, 2010 NO COMMENTS

It is difficult to find a home where there isn’t a single photograph on display. It can be a snapshot of a family member, a scenic backdrop, a family vacation or even just a photo of friends and adored ones. It can be the photograph of a special occasion, a much-loved pet or even an old family photograph.

Everyone uses photographs to decorate both their homes and office furnishings.. Purposes vary from the decorative to advertising to the inspirational, to go with the ambiance of the workplace.

Like a painting

Canvas on the other hand, has been associated with painting for centuries on end. Just as one thinks of “canvas”, one becomes reminiscent with the thoughts of stunning oil paintings hanging on the walls of art galleries and museums the world over.

Now just sense: what if you could transmit your snaps to canvas and strut them on the walls of your home.? Wouldnâ??t that be a distinguished idea.? The checkered texture of the canvas would give the photographs an artistic edge aesthetically far superior to a poster or a print on photographic paper, wouldn’t it?

High on elegance

Welcome to the world of photos on canvas! It’s an ambit of old world lure, fine artsmanship

Photography 101: A Brief History of the Photograph

These days cameras are everywhere. Whether it’s a tiny digital camera you keep in your pocket or a medium format monstrosity you use for a hobby, cameras have become an important part of human life. With that in mind, let’s take a ride down memory lane and look at where modern photography came from and what it’s meant to our civilization.

One of the most amazing things about photographs is how heavily we depend on them to record our history and tell our stories, considering the fact that chemical photography is a relatively new science. Just think of how many old family photos you have displayed in your home in antique picture frames or old handmade wood picture frames?

The first permanent photograph was created as recently as 1825 using pewter plates and a substance called “bitumen,” and later iterations of the photograph would be printed on glass; paper didn’t become common until around 1888 thanks to innovations by George Eastman (as in Eastman-Kodak).

In 1901, the Kodak Brownie camera was first introduced to the public. This was the first time that photography was so easily accessible to the public in regards to cost and ease of use. It was during this period of

Bridesmaids Gowns

By Jerry J. Jansen On March 16, 2010 NO COMMENTS

After the engagement, often times the future bride’s mind turns quickly to the planning of the big event.  So many plans have to be made:  date of the wedding, location of the wedding and reception, flowers, bridal gown, who will be part of the bridal party, what the bridal party will wear and much more.  While I was planning my wedding, I found one of the most, if not the most difficult decision was choosing what my bridesmaids would wear.

It was amazing how agreeable the matron of honor and the bridesmaids were when I asked if they would be in the bridal party.   I remember much excitement, laughter and even “happy” tears, when I asked them this question.  Quickly, this excitement turned to frustration and “unhappy” tears.  I planned a “pick a bridesmaid’s dress” party.  We had food, fellowship, and lots of bridal magazines and searched many virtual bridal shops on the internet. I was so thrilled that the “my girls” could have some quality time with me and be an integral part of my decision making.   To my surprise, the bridal party became maidzillas (bridesmaids gone wild).  Each one had her opinion and demands as what she thought would
