Hand Placement

So much is said by the way someone holds her hands. Such a small detail, and such a big part of an image!

Robbie Caponetto

Robbie Caponetto

Whenever I have the opportunity, I love assisting Robbie Caponetto. Great guy, and a good travel partner.

This is from a shoot near ATL a couple months again.

I missed on the focus, but I still like the shot a lot.

Taylor's Friend

By shooting on a solid backdrop, a photographer creates a mystery box for the viewer. By this I mean, the location or time the photograph was taken is never given. Was it natural light, or strobe? Was it a full production, or just a one on one session?

I love "on white" portraits because I love mystery. I love not being given all the information, and just letting things be.

The above portrait was taken in Cary Norton's studio a few weeks ago.

This portrait below was taken outdoors in Apalachicola, FL, almost two years ago:

Matt Chancey

Why do I bring this up? Well, I've been thinking about environments, and how to create/use them.

A friend has asked me to take his portrait. He wants it to be very classic, and possibly shot on a solid grey. I told him that I would like to find a field somewhere to set up, or perhaps in the middle of a wooded area.

Why?

Because even though he'll be completely on grey, in a suit and bow tie, he loves hunting and the outdoors. So even if the environment is not seen in the background, it may show up in his face, or how he holds his hands. His shoulders may be more relaxed. His dog may be out of frame and he may react in a way that you could never achieve in a studio.

Or maybe I'm just bored and want to go outside....

Sam Abell - Two Views

Sam Abell spoke at Look3 a year or so ago. After I heard him speak about his new book The Life of a Photograph, I found it and I bought it.

One of the most amazing aspects of the book is his study of two perspectives.

He'd take a picture of something,



then he'd move, and take the "same picture".



EVERYTHING changes!

When we were leaving our Honeymoon I was walking to the plane and realized I needed to shoot off the rest of a roll I had in the Rollei. Reminded of ol' Sam, I took a few shots of the same thing but at different perspectives.
