Video Production

Photography is quite interesting, from the artistry, beauty, color to detail. I love it but having professional photography comes at a price from the high technology devices to the high skills involved. Going into the neaty gritties of it we look at the full frame camera Vs. the APS-C camera. The abbreviation APS-C camera simply refer to Advanced Photo System type C cameras. While selecting a digital SLR or a lens to use with it, it is vital to understand the difference betwe

I did a photo shoot with Reetu on Location near the Michigan Welcome Center In Detroit Michigan. The session included Reetu wearing two outfits. One from Kaftan For Less, Emira 3 Kaftan Payad featured here. Reetu also wears a beanie with a sweater, jeans and heals. She shows off her modeling skills with a nice Detroit backdrop on a chilly day in the Motor City. Reetu is a great pleasure to work with. She was well prepared, instinctive and flow posed quickly. Her personality i

Profile pictures, Icons, Avis, no matter what you call them they are very important to the first impression of your brand. This is normally what people remember you by whether it be a business logo or picture of yourself. It is important that you have a high-quality image to put a face with your business, brand or service. For those with a business or entity separate from yourself, the business logo will suffice. Just be sure that the image is clean simple and easy to identif

Families these days are not as big as they used to be. A big family today is considered a dad mom and of three to four kids. So getting a good family photo I’m pretty sure is not as hard as it once was. When photographing large groups, there are a number of things that have to be taken into consideration. Some of these things are the amount of people, their eye direction, posture, hand placement and more. I recently photographed a family of ten: two adults and eight kids. The

In a previous blog I talked about the first lens to pick up (50mm). I will talk more about cameras bodies in the future. When starting at the ground level of videography and/or photography the question always comes up. Which camera should I buy? I personally went through months of evaluation before I bought my first camera. I spoke with many videographers and photographers during my evaluation. I really didn’t intend on shooting photography initially but both fields relate in

Having a sandbag on light stands and tripods is very important if you want to keep your equipment safe and secure. This is the industry standard to weighting down equipment so that no one trips over it or knocks it over. This tutorial gives photographers and cinematographers a brief process of of setting up some inexpensive sandbags. Director of Photography Jason Smith demonstrates how to load sandbags to weigh down light stands and tripods. These sandbags can be ordered at E

Now days there are so many marketing tools on the internet that you can throw a rock and find a source to promote your photography. The superior one right now is Instagram (also known as IG). This is no knock on Facebook, Twitter, Google + or Tumblr. They all have their benefits but right here, right now IG is the fastest easiest way to promote any form of photography and showcase your work. There is one simple reason and that is because that is where everyone is. Imagine the

In my first blog I talked about where to find equipment in the metro Detroit area. This time around I’m going to talk about a high quality lens for a low price. A 50mm prime lens for Canon or Nikon is a great starter lens that gives you a lot of versatility. This lens works well for photography or videography. The best thing about the 50mm prime is the ability to capture at f1.8. You won’t find a lens with that much depth of field at this price. When shooting photography you

Media business is a lot of trial and error. There is quite a bit of equipment that has to be purchased over time and it seems to never end. It takes a real commitment because you may not see a quick turn around for some of the purchases you make. There aren’t many stores around the Detroit area but there are some. ProCam in Livonia is a good place to go to get equipment and ask questions about what to purchase. There is a studio for rent and there are many workshops that you
