In the spirit of sharing and enriching the blog experience, and because our fans demand it, we're going to be a little more loquacious with each post. Pretty pictures seem to me to be so much more impressive when you're given a chance to understand more. So, from here in, we'll do our best to talk about the why and the how of each photo we post so you learn, and with any luck, become inspired to try some of it yourself.To kick it off, we have a pretty cool post for you. This weekend I had the opportunity to photograph a band called Nimikri. (www.myspace.com/nimikri) As you can see from their blank myspace page, they're in desperate need of an image (and a bassist and voc alist, send them an IM if you're interested).
Like most good shoots for the beginner photographer, this one started thru the magic of Craigslist. I've been having a run of decent luck there, finding people to photograph on a pretty consistent basis. Not nearly as many people skipping out on me at the last minute like last year *knock on wood*. There really is no excuse to not have a respectable portrait portfolio when there are so many people online looking to trade services and be apart of your project. It's a simple matter of mutual back scratching, and so far, people get that if they're willing to play along with my bizarre photo concepts, they usually go home with some cool photos.
