It seems these days that everyone is doing photography workshops to train budding photographers. I have hosted a few of those myself. Recently, however, a couple of my friends and I decided to host a workshop for models instead. Each model pays for their hair and makeup and an hour of shooting time. This allows...
Scott Kelby came to Lansing last weekend and gave a lighting seminar at the Lansing Center. For those of you who don’t know, Scott Kelby is the author of several popular Photoshop and photography books and is also the president of the National Association of Photoshop Professionals (NAPP) . My friend, Brian, and I decided...
Spending time on the beach in Northern Michigan is like a vacation to a tropical paradise. The only thing missing is the palm trees. I had a photo shot with Megan Dunn who contacted me for images to put into her modeling portfolio. Shooting on the beach offer special challenges to the photographer. First there...
Last night I was inspired to make some photo art so I grabbed my tripod and started shooting. Both of these photos were pretty easy to make. I set my camera on a tripod facing the computer screen and turned down the screen’s brightness. Next I opened Adobe Lightroom and found a folder...

I wrote in an earlier blog that Bruce Dale visited one of my workshops last summer. He wrote about his Traverse City adventures in December’s issue of the Digital Photo Magazine. He mentioned me in that article so I sent him a copy of the magazine and asked if he could autograph it for me....
I had a senior shoot with a very lovely lady this past week. We started in the lobby of the Quality Suites hotel on Lansing’s Westside and then moved to Cooley Gardens and, later, the bridge on Shiawassee. Cooley Gardens seemed like a popular spot for senior pictures in Lansing. There were three or four...
Jumping at several small opportunities may get us there more quickly than waiting for one big one to come along. ~Hugh Allen Meg Howard and I were planning to shoot together for several weeks but for one reason or another we weren’t able to put it together. Well, this past Tuesday things seemed to fall...
You may remember Amy Sevenski from my post about our workshop held at the barns of the former state hospital in Traverse City. I wanted to try a new photo technique so I asked Amy if she’d like to help by modeling for me. She was happy to oblige. I picked Amy up after she...
