I've become one of those people who are just too busy to spend a lot of time updating various online facades! The insanity! Is it because blogging, for me at least, seems so 2003? It's all about Facebook now (and my mom still has more friends than I do).
Since April, I've been working a great, new full-time gig that involves creative energies including taking lots of photos. If it's been a busy week – and it usually has – that means my creative juices aren't bursting to escape as much as they used to. Even more, family activities take away any free time I have to spend on pursuing more photo business. The end result? I haven't pursued much of it.
However, I relish the opportunities that come my way. Now that money is no longer the priority, I can pick and choose what I want to do photographically. I can pursue quality projects rather than a specific number of jobs. What does that mean for you? A more customized experience, images that you can't get anywhere else and a higher level of customer service. I know in the past I have not always fulfilled my professional obligations as well as I wanted to. The images may have been terrific, but something fell short in the delivery. That won't happen again.
With my renewed energy and focus – still primarily on family portraiture – I also want to share a few tips to make your own photography better. It's those moments where it's just you and the ones you love that can produce the most genuine images. My tips won't focus on buying the latest and greatest gear; that alone won't make you a good photographer. More important is knowing how to read light, compose your subjects in relation to their environment and focus, focus, focus. I hope you will benefit and share your own photographic experiences along the way.
And if you're looking for a professional photographer, I'm your guy!
