    Feedback wanted: Salve Regina (indoors, no electricity)

    First 2 shots... kind of boring (to me anyway) Nothing exciting going on, photos are slightly on the flat side...I DO like #3 though! I like the light peeking through the open door....gives a feeling of movement and anticipation! #4, would be much better perspective if you had shot it straight...

    TKD and photography...really DO mix well!

    No filter used here! This is ALMOST SOOC, the only thing I did was adjust the coloring just a tad to bring out the color more and under exposed just a little...maybe 1 stop in lightroom, then added the power light flare in photoshop...

    Trash the Dress

    TTD has been around for roughly 3-4 years now, I myself have shot a couple of TTD sessions...some with brides (such as Bobs wife Susan) and some with models... Its a LOT of fun and takes a LOT of creativity on both the subject and the photog. Helps too if the bride or model is really good at...

    I got creative with smoke :-)

    Well if I used gels then it would definitely create a monotone color and make it more difficult to have a variety of colors to create on the smoke, if I used more than one light then it would kind of blow out the photo...there should only be one light source being used to create the hard edge...

    The Chronicles of Lil' Tiger ~ Part 1

    Nope its ALL Anthony! I talked with his mom Sarah and she said HE is the one that wants to do this, she has tried to "tame" him so to speak, but its like he has this drive that she just cant put a damper on. He did try out for the Olympic team, but was out on the first round....they were using...

    The Chronicles of Lil' Tiger ~ Part 1

    I for one have very much enjoyed reading about lil tigers chronicles!! This seems to be working for LiL Tiger...so keep it up. Just because she is earning her tips and color on her belt doesnt mean she isnt worthy of a black belt in 4-5 years. I have a kid in my school Anthony, who has an...

    Pin-up style photoshoot!! THIS was fun!!!

    Yah #3 is almost exactly how i wanted it to look, I think it needs a bit more pop to it though. But yes the faded vintage look is what I was trying to achieve :)

    Lights in eyes

    I always have 1 or 2 catch lights in the eyes, one always being smaller than the other for depth. I have never used a program to imitate catch lights either...though if I have a head tilted wrong and Im missing one...I usually just copy one catch light from the other eye and put it onto the...

    McKenzie Familiy Shoot

    Yah I agree....way too dark....you need a bit more separation with the shirt and background. The other photos...was the "glow" on them fully intentional?

    As far as I know TKD doesnt us this device, and with as much training as I do at the school I dont think I would have enough energy or time to use this device at home, I sure dont have anywhere to install it...
