With the weather starting to warm up, I plan on updating my Portfolio with the work I want to shoot so I can get the work I want to shoot. I found a model, Charles, who also wanted to up date his portfolio and these are a few selections from the shoot. The colors he picked for his outfit couldn’t have been better and added to the lifestyle feel of the shoot. I enjoyed working with Charles and hope to work with him again.
Here is a photo shoot from about 3 months ago I did for my friend Steve. He needed a few pictures for his newly launched website, so we got together and knocked some out. My favorite one is the one of him sitting against the log cabin reading a book. All these were shot in daylight around 2 o’clock in the afternoon, but this picture looks like it was shot at night.
Anyway, make sure you check out Steve over at his website and download his new album. It’s Free! There will be more photos of Steve in the future so stay tuned!
With photography first impressions are very important and a lot – if not all – of your work comes from someone seeing your pictures and evaluating if you are good enough. So, when it came to getting business cards I wanted something that would stand out and leave a great first impression.
Initially I thought about getting the standard business card with my info on the back and one of my best pictures on the front. But the thing is, I don’t just want to take just one type of picture. I love taking pictures of people, food and a bunch of other things and having just one picture wouldn’t represent all the things I want to shoot.
That’s where Moo comes in! At first the cost kept me from ordering as moo’s cards are a bit more pricier than your standard business cards. There are plenty of placed where you can get 1000 business cards for around $50 that are very high quality cards and will do everything you need them to do. I knew the quality of moo cards were just as good as anything you could get because I’d seen and heard about them from a bunch of people. At around $120 for 400 cards there are better options out there if you are looking to save money. But, if you want to leave a great first impression, a small photo or in the case of moo’s cards, a number of small photos of what your photography looks like can go a long way and make the extra investment well worth it.
Since I’ve started handing out my moo cards, peoples reactions have always been positive and they have clearly helped at landing me new clients.
After a day in the city, me and my girlfriend visited the Reading Terminal Market, one of the best farmers markets in the philadelphia area and a great place to take pictures. Here are a few converted into black and white.
