iPad havers; search 'Fotopedia' in the app store, there's five or six free 'photobooks' to download with what looks like top quality photography throughout... I'm currently leafing through the North Korea app.

Anyone need a 6mm lens for their 35mm Nikon camera?  British Journal of Photography posted:A rare fisheye Nikkor 6mm f/2.8 lens, which offers the "world's most extreme wide-angle" and is worth £100,000, has gone on sale at Gray's of Westminster in London

I remember reading about that in a John Hedgecoe book, I thought it was only something of legend; that didn't actually exist anymore. Sure hope that's worth the $160,000 USD that it'll take to buy it.

Anyone have a good source for corporate headshot inspiration? I'm doing some research and trying to pull a few examples to show the partners of my company who have deemed me the task I was looking at going into three directions - Studio lit so that I could have complete control of the light and environment. No clouds, rain or interruptions. - Spacial - highlighting the people in our office environment. Lots of changing light/locations/moving things around, could get very creative and still have control of the environment - Environmental - taking employees around Chicago to capture them in their environment, could be fun but also a logistical nightmare especially for new employees later on down the road Here are some examples what I was looking at     Verman fucked around with this message at 00:38 on Apr 25, 2012 |

Hedge your bets and do one simple set and one creative one. Simple photos are good for things like business cards, company directories or whatever. The creative ones will be better for web sites. For the creative set, you could find a silly prop like the company mascot and photograph people posing with it. HPL fucked around with this message at 23:51 on Apr 24, 2012 |

To be honest a lot of the time was just getting familiar with using the tablet and the Nav app, I reckon I could redo it in around 3:30 / 4hrs now. Mind you, for all the touchups it's lucky to have a photo that has so much repetition you can borrow from to make fixes... Just one or two soldiers against a backdrop all creased and cracked like this and it'd have been a nightmare

Verman posted:Anyone have a good source for corporate headshot inspiration? I heard the word 'corporate'! Short answer: Inc. Magazine is a must must must. Entrepreneur Magazine and Bloomberg are second. Look through the last year's worth. IMO, the most incredible business portraits have been done by Inc. If you are a creative agency, it should be, well creative. Start with a story or a theme, then imagine a style that fits. Simpler is always better. You can get carried away pretty quickly and then the production costs start to skyrocket. You can do really creative stuff on just a seamless if you are able to coax the subject's personalities out.

We have subscriptions to Inc/Ent/Bloomberg here in the office so I will take a look through them for some inspiration. As far as the concept, I was given a few keywords to shoot by being; smart, clever, direct, fun, and friendly. One of the partners wants something like a quick school photo day but I think I can coax the other two into something a little more fun and developed. I'm presenting concepts to them later today but I feel good about where I'm at and the pros and cons behind all directions.

You can get carried away pretty quickly and then the production costs start to skyrocket. You can do really creative stuff on just a seamless if you are able to coax the subject's personalities out. I "Presented" my concepts to the partners just a little bit ago meaning that I was heading to lunch and they walked over, picked up the printed walkthroughs I was preparing for later, looked at the pictures and started arguing about which direction to go into without any consideration to their original timeline. Sometimes it blows my mind that our agency can function with three people in the drivers seat. The original direction that I was given was something that will be quick to produce and reproduce for new employees, something that is clean, direct and fun. My creative lead said to run with the seamless and use personality but then they ended up wanting to do editorial style shots showcasing people in our agency around the space. I was look forward to busting out the studio lights for a seamless shoot, but I think it will be fun and more rewarding to try to shoot everyone around the office, but man is this going to be a hassle.

I would propose that you shoot environmental portraits of your C level folks. These shots will reinforce your branding and communicate the vision of the company. When clients go to the site and look at the leadership team, they ought to think "wow, these guys work hard in a clean, professional environment, and aren't afraid to also have fun." Everyone else can be done with a simple backdrop that doesn't take up a ton of resources.

Vibration knocking the camera out of the mount, though... Plus, that looks like a pretty uncomfortable weight to have sticking out of your forehead. Come to think of it, his neck is going to act like a pretty good vibration damper for that mount.

About a month ago I was in Union Square taking some pictures. Some guy ran up to me and say "Hey, you're that photographer who takes pictures of people. I've seen your work!" At first I was like, "Yeah! That's me!" But then I started to wonder how he knew it was actually me, and not confusing me with someone else. I mean, hell, there are tons of New York photographers. Somehow we ended splitting ways without really clarifying it or talking more, I think because I told him I was busy photographing somebody and and asked him to kindly give us some space. Today, I was coming out of Washington Square Park and I bumped into him again. He was with another man and he said, "that's the guy I've been telling you about!" Anyway, long story short, turns out this other guy is a writer and he's doing a piece on film photograph vs. digital and a lot of the questions that relate to that, like how do I feel about all of these digital shooters and do I dislike them or do I think it's great that so many people are shooting. It was neat. It turned into a real interview. He tape recorded my answers and we had a 20-30 minute discussion. That's never happened to me before. The first guy who said he knew me found out about me because he posted some pictures online somewhere and somebody told him, "no no, you're doing it all wrong, check out this guy's work" and liked my to site. I feel pretty cool about that. Unfortunately, the writers isn't anyone you would know. He's not a major journalist or writer for the Times or anything. I think he just has a popular blog. I didn't get enough information about him to find out. But anyway, they're going to do a piece about this stuff and I don't know if it's going to be just on me or about sort-of photography in general. I feel really cool about it. I mean, I know there's lots of lovely photography out there that gets attention beyond the amount it deserves -- I think we could all basically come to an agreement on that. And some of you feel my work falls right into that category, and that's fine. Some people like the color blue and other people like the color red. The same basic principles apply to artistic works we see with our eyes. Sometimes people will say 'This major historical photographer is banal and bland' and get crap for that, but really we all make judgements about what we like and don't like, and there aren't necessarily rules for that. Anyway, just thought I would share the good news. Once I get the article I was send a link.
