Yesterday I showed you a small handfull of my favorites from my shoot with Drew and Raheem. Today I’ll take about the lighting conditions (both natural and artificial), the gear I used, and some post production I did after it was all over. First, the gear. Shot on a 5D mk II with a 70-200mm. Flash was [...]

Selling it.
By jOe in DIY, Just for Photographers, Photo ShootSaturday, I put a lens on eBay, and being a photographer, I didn’t want to just do a snap shot, so I did a quick little set up.

Took some pictures.
By jOe in Church, Just for Photographers, Photo Shoot, PortraitsAbout a month or so I proposed the idea of doing the Help Portrait here in New Orleans, but it has since evolved from the Help Portrait into something else. We’ve modified it to be centered around a mission trip and going out, instead of bringing the people in. We’re going to spend this next [...]
