DIY Photography Backdrop
Uploaded by thedrewster77 on Nov 5, 2010
A short guide on creating a do-it-yourself backdrop for photography purposes.
I am an amateur photographer, even more so green with video and not a "handy" person. This project was simple to work on and can be done by anyone with the inclination.

A Simple 3 Hard Light Setup: A Lighting Lesson
Uploaded by TheSlantedLens on Apr 7, 2011
Jay P. Morgan Photography.
In this lesson we will look at lights that don't have any soft boxes or light modifiers. I used heads with reflectors only. In the right setting and with the right subject this can look very good. We did cheat and use 3 pieces of foam core and one umbrella, but looking back now we could have not used the umbrella and been fine. We were shooting Katie Lohmann for a different shoot and she suggested the super Girl outfit. At first I was a little reluctant until I looked at some comic book art and started to see the shot. Things came together and the thought of shooting with hard light was very appealing to me. I was very happy with the outcome.
The video was shot on the Canon 5D, 7D and using Red Rock micro rigs.

How to Handle Hands - Posing Techniques for Photographers and Models
Uploaded by PhotoJoeEdelman on May 11, 2011
Hands will make or break your shot in a heartbeat. Generally a woman's hands should appear graceful. You want to achieve a soft, elegant and natural position of the hands so that they do not become a distraction.
Angled wrists and claw like fingers are things that we generally would not notice when we watch a pretty girl in person, but preserve them in a photograph and they suddenly become a distraction that will take away from your subject's natural beauty.

Photography business is easy - if you adopt to the new reality
Uploaded by FreePhotographyTips on Jan 27, 2011
http://SmokingStrobes.com - Doing it exactly like the great masters of photography... a bullet proof way to avoid success with your photography business. Because times have changed. What made photographers successful a decade ago is completely different from what makes you successful today. However, it's not not hard to spot your personal path to photography success, once you have a clear view about the fundamentals that have changed. So I thought I should share with you the thing that I call the climate change in photography.
