A Small Guide to a Photographer’s Portfolio Review
Getting feedback from fellow photographers isn’t a requirement, but it’s definitely something to consider—no matter your experience level.
Attending art school was great; I had professors and classmates to critique my work and help guide my craft. But post-college was a different story. My college friends were scattered across the globe, and finding time to catch up and discuss our work was a challenge. I had to seek out other photographers for guidance and mentorship.
Testing the Pocket Dispo Lens
What drew me to this lens was its lightweight build and affordability. I wanted something compact and inexpensive to take with me while traveling, and at just $60—lighter than a lens cap—it was an easy purchase. With an upcoming trip to Florida, I finally put it to the test, capturing moments from the beaches of Daytona to Fort Clinch in Fernandina, and the breathtaking landscapes of Cumberland Island.
From Suburbs to Saddle: How Photography Brought Me to the Rodeo
When most people mention Georgia, they’re usually talking about Atlanta—the city’s vibrant art scene, iconic rappers, legendary strip clubs—or the “quaint and haunted” coastal charm of Savannah. But there’s so much more to this incredible state. From the wild horses roaming Cumberland Island to the local rodeos scattered across rural towns, and even the breathtaking mini Grand Canyon at Providence Canyon, Georgia is full of surprises.
Kodak Aerochrome -Creating the Look
Why there are various ways to archive the look, a method that worked for me was to take the images in green foliage with the sunlight as my best friend as that is when Infrared would be the most visible. I did use the Cinema Hard Stop VND from Prism lens FX to balance out my highlights within my set environments. As well as notifying my models and stylist know my editing process in order to have a cohesive color palette for the final product. The Channel mixer in photoshop was the key to creating the Aerochrome look as I inverted the red and blue channel. As well as inverting the image itself and change the blend mode on the layer to color. After that it was a bit if masking and color adjustments to fit my vision for my work.
