No matter how many images I create with each release of the shutter, I learn something new.

Just as I do as a photography instructor, which I like to refer to myself as a “life image enhancer” through one of my lenses that is attached to one of my bodies.

The brand is not important, but the experience is. Every moment spent in solitude or a crowded room with your camera gear, SHOULD be about the experience, not the name embeded on the plastic or dye cast body.

Recently, I gave a 16 year old explorer (what I call my students), the best four weeks of insight and approaches to becoming (I am confident) one of the worlds best photographers.

Photography isn’t only about what we see, or how we see it, but how we present our perspectives to the world in exchange for the gift, or ability to communicate to others what we see, without ever once saying a word.

Be a gift.

Tell the story through your eyes.

I Started out shooting as a hobby about 12yrs ago, it was a place of peace and solitude for me, the more and more I shot, the more people would ask me to shoot small events for them, ie: birthday parties, family reunions, etc…
So my wife made a suggestion one day: ” Honey, why don’t you put your talents to use and start a company and make something of it and from it?”
Being an ex model and working for Jet magazine, Essence, Ebony, and other outlets, she moved from being in front of the camera to being behind it also and shooting with me.
After shooting a host of different genres, I found that my niche was concert/celebrity/event photography.
Although I excel in this area, I also wish to grow further in my current specialty and also learn and grow in the areas of Boudoir and model/fashion photography.
My major goal is to become a personal Photograher for a celebrity and because I have never had any of my work published, it is an objective and goal to get my work published very soon.

Social Media, Groups and Photographers.

March 24, 2014

There are millions of people who use social media for one reason or another. Especially artists and photographers. Photographers are also artists in our own right, because we require an elevated level of creativity with the assistance of cameras, lenses, models, people, make up artists (MUA), designers, editing software and other tools of the trade.

There are hundreds of thousands of photographers that use social media to promote their work, enlighten and educate other photographers of all experience levels and, there are debates that are sparked due to a difference in opinion or technique.

There are groups that facilitate such events, although not the intent, but it happens. What I find most amusing, as well as amazing is that some of the moderators tend to take themselves too seriously. WAAAAAY too seriously. They have given themselves power that they lack in reality. They have given themselves the power to excommunicate you because you “violated some holy doctrine of the group, or pooped on their ego.” If you are labeled as a trouble maker, or one who is “overly expressive with your opinion (don’t bite your tongue)” – YOU ARE OUTTA THERE!

The point that i am making is this: Relax, life is waiting for you when you step away from the keyboard. Your monitor is tired of staring back at you, and it too, needs a break. So, the next time someone violates a rule the YOU made up, remember, when you get on the bus, train or plane, there are people who move those vessels with REAL POWER in their positions, and there isn’t a thread in the world that you can post, that will take away the power that human contact will ever have.

So, get up. Go outside and look at some three-dimensional faces, read a billboard or sign in a supermarket…and remember, you are no longer under the protection of your pseudonym, keyboard, mouse pad and monitor.

It’s time to face the world. The REAL WORLD.
