Until recently, I rarely ever photographed in black & white, but this past year I decided to add a new genre of women’s intimate portraits to my session offerings.
It’s no secret that the key to good photography is balancing the seemingly endless array of options, styles, techniques, settings and so on.
In today’s world, most of our images are captured digitally and remain digital. This is the modern way and there is absolutely nothing wrong with this.
As the saying goes, “There are many ways to do something in Photoshop.” This is accurate for most things, except when it comes to turning a color image to black & white.
Contrast and all the shades of gray is what makes photographs dynamic. Muddy and muted pictures don’t do it for me.
Learning how to take these shots is a great way to take advantage of that photography demand area, since being versatile helps you build your business and take advantage of every opportunity that comes your way.
In a digital world, it’s easy to forget about shooting for black & white images since we can easily convert later.
Ever wanted to learn new lighting techniques and have fun with photography without the pressure of another human being staring at you the whole time? My name is Alissa Cincotta and this weekend, I’m going to be doing some self portraits in our home in O’Fallon, Illinois using the Westcott FJ80, the Westcott FJ200, and the Westcott Universal Wireless Flash Trigger, the FJ-X2m.
Headshots are in huge demand right now. Why? Well, if I had to guess, more people than ever are working remotely and most companies want more than a glorified selfie for their profiles.
Inspiration can come when you least expect it. As photographers, we are visual artists. We express ourselves through our camera and the images we create.
