Yesterday, Sunday October 14th, Oklahoma City saw what was supposedly the largest parade in Oklahoma in Oklahoma’s history, and I was on hand to witness and photograph the historical event. There were literally thousands of
Archive for October, 2007There are a lot of different things to consider when posing groups of people. I found a couple of other websites that offer tips for photographers, and I was moved to add some here. I thought I’d start by sharing one thing that has helped a great deal when photographing groups of people, and has allowed me to start seeing more consistent results with groups. But first, some of the many things to keep in mind that make Better group photos are:
I’ve recently joined a group of guys that have breakfast every Thursday morning who share ideas, leads and business tips with each other. http://www.okctips.com The group is for men only, but is going through a real transition period full of growth and changes. I’m still discovering the potential power of networking and this seems to be quite exciting. The group only allows one person to represent each business or trade, and each member votes on each new applicant. The members all have diverse backgrounds and I’ve met some really interesting guys in the short time I’ve been having breakfast with them. Its been a great time. If you’re interested in joining a group like this, then come check us out at the Cattlemen’s Steakhouse at 7:30 am next Thursday!
A quiet retreat for partaking of great food, great friends and, if I’m lucky, a few good photo opportunities.
Members of the Metro Professional Photographers Association are going to gather up this Sunday morning at 9:00 AM to take a trip through the Oklahoma City Zoo and share tips and ideas on how to get the best shots of our favorite animals. A good time should be had by all, especially after having one of the best wildlife photographers in the country! Kim Sullivan of http://www.kimsullivanphotography.com I’ve been really lax in posting and I’m really sorry. I’m sure everyone reading has been wondering if I’m still doing business! I’ve just been really busy juggling everything in my schedule. Between my full-time job at the state, different photographer opportunities, working with my good friend John McDonald, a website designer, and my wonderful family, I’ve managed to stay quite busy. John and I have been working on some really great ideas and we’ve decided to start even one more project! We’re going to combine our talents, Website Design, and Photography. It’s a promising opportunity and that’s all I can say about it right now, it’s our “secret project”. I’ll definitely keep you posted as more is revealed. So, a pilot “secret project”, several portraits, countless diapers and a couple of date-nights with my wife since my last post, I’m here to tell you I’m very much here! And I’m very grateful for the opportunity to spend time with each of you. Thank You for the wonderful experiences! Weddings and portraits are such a great time to get to know people, study them, discover their hidden talents and unique traits. I love this part of my work. Check back for more details about our new “secret project” ! |
