TAKING ACTION

Capture emotion
A clear, strong emotion as a dominant theme is like an anchor that allows an image to be pass for a number of different.... okay For example, Like me seated in the office, the emotion here is relaxed , and it's recognize fast because I  kept the composition simple. Just on the phone discussing my next blog and how I plan to take

Choosing models
When I choose a model for my image I pick someone who is attractive. People like to look at attractive people. You don't want your subject to be 'model beautiful' although this girl in the photo can be! Look for someone who is good looking, but in a realistic, girl-next-door, everyday sort of way. Exceptionally beautiful and stylised people will steal the focus away from your overall message and it like fake boobs lol(Sorry) And from an art editor’s point of view, and I know  if the person or scenario doesn't seem realistic, the viewer won’t trust the product or service being sold. Trust me people its true and you know it!

Leave room for a logo
 Even if you're shooting a portrait, a still life or nature scene, it can be a really good idea if you  take a few frames with extra negative space on either the right or left side of the frame or even on the very bottom of your photo but in this one below I left the top right spot open( your left). To some photographer's eye, it may seem like an unbalanced composition, but to an art editor or graphic designer it may look like the perfect image to add a logo to

Try not to rock to much trendy clothing!
Like technology, the clothes your subjects wear will also date your photos. Current fashion trends change all the time, and I was taught that if an art editor is looking at your images, she may like what they see but wonder why the couple in your photograph is wearing baggy or even tight lol clothing ... If using models, ask them to dress in classic styles that don't show their age – solid colours, blacks and whites, and especially no branding or slogans.

B&H

  The photography superstore of choice for professionals and for those who choose to just do it as a hobby. The store, which is now in its third decade, carries everything from Canons to studio lighting  and film developing trays and many more. The used department upstairs also has good bargains you can't  really beat anywhere else. The store may seem intimidating at first, but the place is filled with the kindest  Hasidic sales staff members and they are so  helpful and knowledgeable about most of the products they sell.  I recently checked out a few cameras there , ranging in prices anywhere from $150.00  -  $20.000 and up! I really like the fact that B&H is such a hands on store, where you get to actually test out all the cameras and get familiarize with them. My favorite cost a whopping

























    AND just to think  that's only for the body.The Canon  EOS-1Ds Marklll SLR with a 5FPS BURST is sure to get you those jobs you looking for.

 B&H also has many other brands of course to choose from. I was like a kid in  a candy store when I saw the set up, it was like the Willy Wonka  Camera Factory :) Whats really great is that a lot of other people I've ask are also very satisfied with the product and service, it's really fast and efficient!! But lets have a look at some more cameras

Save big, find the best prices around! A wide range of lenses for your Cameras

Once you've bought a new interchangeable lens camera - either a digital SLR or one of the new breed of interchangeable lens compacts typified by Micro Four Thirds - you'll  start thinking of adding an extra lens or two to your arsenal. This is the first step to realizing the flexibility of a system camera, but with the bewildering variety of options available on the market, you could be forgiven for wondering just why you left behind the relative simplicity of a compact camera. In this guide we'll lead you step-by-step through the process of understanding the different kinds of DSLR lenses, and choosing the right one for your needs. http://500px.com/LexPhotography

Format Coverage

Most affordable SLRs use APS-C sensors, which are approximately 24mm x 16mm in size, or less than half the size of the old 35mm film negative (Nikon calls these DX). However high end Canon, Nikon and Sony cameras sport so-called 'full frame' sensors, which means purely that they are about the same size as a 35mm negative, i.e. 24mm x 36mm (Canon's high speed professional cameras use an intermediate sensor size, called APS-H). Panasonic and Olympus, meanwhile, use the slightly smaller Four Thirds sensor in their interchangeable-lens cameras and again B&H can help you with further questions you may have regarding this. I would have to once again thank my professor Sabio for actually putting me on to this great Store that's like no other. I will most definitely be buying my next camera here.
