You may not realize it yet, but you have just stepped through a door that may change your photography forever. Over the past few years, over four million people from nearly every country in the world have begun their lighting education right here. And if they can do it, you can do it. Photography is literally writing with light. As you read through Lighting 101 you'll learn how to control every aspect of your electronic flash. You'll learn how to take the removable flash that you probably already have on the top of your camera and use it off-camera to make beautiful, more three-dimensional photos. The Good News: The Gear Doesn't Cost Much Basic lighting gear is also refreshingly inexpensive. You can even make a lot of light modifiers yourself for next to nothing.
For the most part, it's the location of the light that is most important. Click on a reader's picture to learn a little more about how it was made. Fstoppers. Eric Kim Street Photography. In lieu of the popularity of my last post about the “100 Things I Have Learned about Photography,” I decided to make a new list that pertains to street photography specifically. Also if you don’t know, I am currently writing a book titled: “Street Photography 101,” and the excerpts are being posted here. This new list is a homage to the Street Photography 101 book that I am writing. Note that there is some overlap of some of these points with the previous list that I wrote, but I thought it may be essential for new-readers to note.
Also, feel free to critique, comment, and share this list with anybody you want. 1. 21. 41. 61. 80. DP Review. Camera Labs. One True Media. Digital Art Served. Instant Shift. Better Photography. Pop Photo. Strobist. This website is about one thing: Learning how to use off-camera flash with your DSLR to take your photos to the next level. Or the next ten levels. If you are a complete beginner at lighting, you are in the right place. Strobist's Free Lighting 101 course starts from absolute zero, and is widely considered to be the best resource of its kind on the web.
Over 4,000,000 photographers from all around the world have taken the plunge before you. Come on in, the water's fine. You probably already have most of what you need to start creating kickass photos with your own small flash, and all of the information on this site is free. If you want to grow into more powerful lighting equipment later, fine. Already familiar with small-flash lighting gear and techniques? And since lighting is not a destination but rather a journey, bookmark Strobist's front page for the occasional new dose of lighting-related learning and fun. Got questions?
Okay then, pick a place to jump in: AdormaPix.
Increase Your Portrait Revenue. Here’s a few ideas that will actually increase your portrait revenue…. trust me these are tried and tested in the height of a recession! It’s not about the hard sell but you do need to be able to say no once and a while. Always charge a shoot fee. Even if you give it back as product credit you’ll still have the client financially committed.Raise your prices and throw away your old price lists. Don’t be tempted to offer old clients old prices.
That was the old you…… you’re more experienced, spent lots more on bettering yourself and your product…… your prices should reflect that.PROJECT! If you can’t show your work on a 60 inch plasma then use a projector. Whatever of the ideas you choose to use make sure you make your own list of ‘rules’ and stick to it. Good luck! I divide my time between being a photographer, retoucher, photography blogger and podcaster.

In this tutorial one of our senior members from our forums Japaslavian (Jeff Masamori over at Flickr) shares a simple photoshop technique for enhancing contrast. This is probably the most useful little adjustment I’ve come across (in Photoshop) just playing around a few years ago. It has served me well, and I hope it will do the same for you all, as there is not a single photo I have ever taken that does not look better without it.
NEVER. Very very simple. 1. Image>Adjustments>Auto LevelsYou could do the levels manually if you want to, but auto tends to do pretty much the same thing I would have done. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Before After/Edited So there you have it. Like I said, I’ve never taken a shot that this didn’t do miracles for. Makes a great action as well.
