Some of you may know who Mike Ruiz is if you are into high-end fashion work, celebrity portraits and large commercial tv and product ad campaigns. He's shot everyone (way up there with Markus...

Sweet! I'm getting one of those next! See, that's what I love about forums- someone always knows something that can help others out. I've been looking for something just like this, and they're...

My photo used for the Project New Day fashion show ad ran double truck in the 274-page July issue of Albuquerque the Magazine that just hit the news stands. For those of you in the region you can...

Nice concept, and lots of visual stuff to check out. It looks like a composite though, there's almost a sharp line around her body. Not sure, but it just looks a little cut out. Watch the...

Thanks, a good amount of it was luck and timing because the colors were already there, but the camera doesn't always capture as well as the eye sees. So I just kicked up the vibrance a touch and...

Actually Larry, let me when you figure this out, but I can only offer up the "off the top of my head" contribution here.

1. Ship the stuff. UPS provides reliable tracking and can ship to your...

Hi Kristina! Welcome to the forums. I know learning photography can be a tough hill to climb- but keep this in mind. Once you learn the basics of how to use your camera, all you need after that is...

I got some requests for some of the travel shots in Italy, and so I put up a short post about it on my blog I tried to avoid the "tourist shots", because I wanted to just capture real moments,...

Nice edits Bigram- the synch is a little off toward the beginning (mouth movement doesn't line up with the words) but all in all it's got a raw flavor to it. Those dudes in the background are...

I dont use any color checker, just profiled monitors. Set the white balance in the shot, then do any remaining color balance in LR by eye (or don't care if I'm processing to B&W or color tones of...

Just got Lightroom 3 and am totally satisfied with the features that it brings, especially the noise reduction. Some of you might know that I use lightroom for the lion's share of my processing, and...

Thanks Bigram,
It was pretty much like any shoot where I would tell them what the general idea was, where to sit/stand according to the favored light direction, and what the mood/expression was. ...

Yup, she corrected me on that and I fixed it. Hard to keep stuff straight when you're mind is on 18 different things. Oh, and all those states are the same thing btw, the people just wear...

I've been using the same thing for almost a year now, makes a great lightweight light pole.

Pros: Easy for moving around a lot, sets up in seconds, easy to carry.

Cons: Wont stand up on it's...

Thanks, it was such a blast, but a lot of long hours and lots of walking. The latest I slept on any given day was 7 am, and I was usually up until 1 am clearing cards and backing up files, plus...

My policy is strictly only two people that are not allowed:

1. Kids
2. Boyfriends (same thing).

I encourage my subjects to bring anyone they want- friend, dad, security guard, whatever....

Realease da ED-209 on they ass.

Hey gang, I've been MIA for a couple of weeks due to traveling and a massive production schedule (sounds important but I just mean shooting client's stuff and hours upon hours of post production work...

Boun compleanno dall'Italia. Ciao!

Yea, I would definitely not put the covers on your site then, as it does mislead that you shot them since there's nothing that states that it's not your work. Instead maybe show the photos that you...

Demanding more stuff from the "music is my life" girl! I'm in love again (I think that's happened before with one of your models).:bek161:

Very nice site, organized, very easy to get to where you...

Oops- both of the girls on the far left and right (in yellow) legs are missing. :chug:

I think what I like so far is the full-frame sensor. Everything is so much more full view now than APS-C, so using my 70-200 to shoot full body, I don't have to stand so far back. The pixel...

I was in L.A. for a couple of days so I thought I'd drop by and say "Hi" to Kevin at the studio, and since Nick's in Africa maybe their would be some down time for Kev to get away for dinner. I met...

Great lighting balance Corey. I get the feeling that our main athlete here is thinking more about the cost of losing the game rather than being pumped to win. Maybe he's got a lot more to lose than...
