Shutterbug Magazine

Well I want to thank the folks over at Shutterbug Magazine for linking themselves to this blog. We'll get a lot more traffic coming through and many more will benefit from all the information posted up here. My goal is to create a support network for photographers. This is a competitive industry and making it is not a given. Together though, it's way easier.

There are some wonderful resources on the Shutterbug site. You'll find Maria Piscopo's Business Trends column of course. There is a host of articles on all kind of cool topics like lighting, retouching, portraiture, pro techniques and much more... One amazing thing is you can contact their writers and contributors (aka experts) directly with questions and comments on the Forum page. There are also many articles by THE late, great master portrait photographer, Monte Zucker. He inspired and taught Clay Blackmore whose workshop Kathryn and I recently attended. Here is the basic lighting setup, well explained, which Monte was famous for.

I shot this image of Danny at the Hollywood zoo if you can believe that. It's abandonned and I had no idea it even existed. The other model I was shooting that day took us there. We actually had to crawl to get inside of it. Yeah, good thing this wasn't a Dior shoot.
