| In-Depth Wedding Photography Seminar with a Staged Wedding Posted: 25 May 2013 06:51 PM PDT Without the hands-on experience that comes only from attending a live ceremony, it’s challenging to improve wedding photography or to envision the techniques of master wedding photographers. But this presentation gives us a chance to see an acclaimed wedding photographer at work by staging and recording a mock wedding at the West Side Jewish Center in New York. The seminar was presented by Andy Marcus. His portfolio includes the weddings of Kelsey Grammer, Donald Trump, and many other celebrities. Follow along as he demonstrates his wedding work flow (for those of you reading this by email, the seminar can be seen here): During the full-length video seminar, Marcus touches on his equipment, camera settings, lighting, logistics, and interacting with clients. Marcus’s helpful tips, along with his gift for story-telling through images, show us what it takes to be a professional wedding photographer.

| Capturing Interesting Photos in the Forest on a Low Budget Posted: 25 May 2013 02:20 PM PDT Too often you see photography projects that yield incredible results and think, “If only I had the money to do something like that?” Well today’s video shows you that you don’t need a lot of money to create an amazing image. Photographer Matthew Drozd had a great idea for a photo, but no budget to shoot on. But that didn’t convince him to give up (for those of you reading this by email, the video can be seen here): Despite his meager one camera, one flash, and one model (and horse) setup, Drozd is able to capture a stunning professional-looking image. Without money to hire a model, he simply asked his father to pose for him. As for his one flash, he puts it to good use, mixing it with ambient light to create a very dramatic tone for the image. Basically, you don’t need a lot of money to get great images. Sometimes you just have to think outside the box. Some ideas for shooting on a budget:
 One camera, one flash, one model, and a good location. What else do you need? Go to full article: Capturing Interesting Photos in the Forest on a Low Budget |
| The Invisible Man Photography Technique Posted: 25 May 2013 10:55 AM PDT Using art and photography to make a statement is nothing new. But Beijing-based artist Liu Bolin has taken protest art to a (literally) revolutionary new place. In a February 2013 TEDTalk, Bolin, known as the “Invisible Man,” shared some of his journey as an artist and proponent of creative freedom in communist China. His work is notable for its innovative use of perspective, pattern, and color to allow the subject (usually himself) to disappear into the background of a photograph (for those of you reading this by email, the TED talk can be seen here). (** FYI: Bolin delivers his presentation in Chinese, with an interpreter, but much of the English interpretations have been cut out. If you don’t speak Chinese, you’ll want to turn on the captions to hear the interesting explanations behind his work.) He got his start in “invisible” art in 2005 when Beijing’s International Art Camp was demolished by the Chinese government. He created the following photograph as a protest against the loss of the cultural center and creative outlet for artists in the city:
Since that first experiment, Bolin has used the artform to address everything from the preservation of historic sites to food safety. The images below confront the potential loss of the historic Italian city of Venice due to falling sea levels, and the presence of carcinogenic ingredients in all of China’s most popular instant noodle brands.
Since 2005, he has traveled all over the world posing as the “invisible man” and creating art — without the help of Photoshop — that makes people think and prompts important conversations about challenging issues.
