Staying with the topic of The Photograph, this image is another exercise demonstrating how one element (no matter its size) can draw the eye into the picture by acting as a point of interest. Imagine for a moment if the two chairs were absent from the composition—the photo would be rather plain and uninteresting. However, [...]

Dappled Light

I’ve been reading a book lately called The Photograph: Composition and Color Design by Harald Mante. It deals solely with the art aspect of photography and applying artistic principles to the photographic medium. I have to admit, some of the concepts Mr. Mante shares are a bit challenging for me to get my mind around, [...]

I had a high school senior session in Irving on Friday at Heritage Park. Although it’s a small area, it offers some wonderful backgrounds for on-location portrait photography. This young man is the son of an old high school buddy of mine and was an absolute pleasure to work with.
An online acquaintance and fellow photographer [...]

The evening of Friday, April 18th, was quite a treat. Renowned pastor, preacher, teacher, and author, John MacArthur, was at Crossroads Christian Church in Grand Prairie to share a message on Luke 15. He has also written a new book entitled A Tale of Two Sons based on this same passage. His message was powerful [...]

Umbrella Test – Take One!

Realizing it’s time to step up my portraiture quality by doing a little light control, I purchased an umbrella to bounce and soften the light that’s emitted by my Canon 580EX flash. I figure using this umbrella-flash setup along with reflectors will improve my outdoor, available light photography dramatically. Of course, Daniel was my usual [...]
Arboretum Entertainment

Spent a little time Sunday afternoon at the Dallas Arboretum enjoying the Dallas Blooms event. Since it was mid-afternoon, the lighting was way too harsh for making flower images so I settled for the human aspect of the event. This couple was entertaining visitors as they lounged on a shaded, grassy area under several trees.
After the Game

A father and son enjoy a dinner of burger and fries after a little league baseball game. My goal for this one was to try to make it look like an old, grainy, black-and-white image of yesteryear.
