Coming from small-town America and moving my business to Paris, France made a huge difference in the types of people I photographed. Back home in suburbia, I worked with normal everyday families and couples. I loved working with all types of people from different backgrounds but my career took me to the city of light and with it came a new genre of clients. Paris attracts all kinds of people and most celebrities have visited at some point in their lives. It’s important to capture photos of celebrities for media promotion and to advertise events all over the city. Keep in mind that people remember 80 percent of the things they see and process images about 60,000 times faster than text! As we all know, viewing images can produce emotional…

In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to create HDR in Lightroom. To create a Lightroom HDR image you need multiple exposures of the same thing. You will need a minimum of three exposures, one underexposed, one correctly exposed and one overexposed. Then you use HDR software to merge these exposures into one and thus bringing all that tonal range between the three exposures into one. This way each pixel in your image has a lot more information to play with.

Godox have been making flash and studio lighting equipment for over a decade, with equipment coming in at surprisingly good value prices. In the past they’ve perhaps unfairly been thought of as a budget option but much of their lighting is extremely innovative and high quality. Probably their most popular recent product has been the V1, the round flashgun that is a direct competitor to Profoto’s A1 range (and at a third of the price!). Now Godox has released the AD100Pro, part of its AD range of studio lights. I got my hands on one to see if it’s going to be a useful addition to your kit bag. Let’s start by looking at the specs: IN THE BOX: AD100Pro Light Charger Battery USB Cable AD-E2 Bracket Manual Portable Bag…

HDR allows photographers to combine images, allowing you to bring out the full dynamic range of an image from shadows to highlights. It’s useful in a number of situations but tends to have a ‘love it or loathe it’ reaction tied to it – images can look overly surreal and unrealistic. This is fine if you’re going for a deliberate fantastical look to your images but care needs to be taken if you want natural looking shots. In this article we’ll look at how to create HDR images and the technical skills you will need. WHAT IS HDR? High Dynamic Range (HDR) Photography is a post production technique whereby multiple exposures of the same scene are combined into one image. The idea is that the final image will give you…

We speak to photographer and visual artist, Serget Fett, who specializes in surreal conceptual imagery and photo manipulations. Photographic Speciality/Style: I work in a conceptual style. Short Bio: I was born in a small town in Ukraine, where I live to this day. My acquaintance with photography began when I was a child. Back then, I was shooting on analog film. Now I prefer digital because it gives me more flexibility in manipulating the image. How did your love of photography start? Art interested me early on, I feel that it carries a kind of transcendent expressiveness that is really important. Of course, as a child I didn't have the words to express this idea, but art has always attracted me. During my studies, my main hobby was poetry. But…
