Welcome!

If you're reading this blog, you might notice that it's a little all over the place. Part of me wants to post other stuff besides photos, but my intention for this post will be mostly photos and a hope to see some improvement as time progresses. Hope you will join me in this journey by commenting on my work and/or subscribing to this blog.

Scott Roberts LA Workshop #1

Sunday, May 16, 2010 Posted by Edmund Ie

Thoughts....

I was so excited to see familiar faces yesterday during the workshop!  Saw Orange Turtle Photography (Cindy and Daniel), Linda Tamarpirat, Tauran Photography, as well as mutual acquaintances.  Good times!

As usual, I want to document some key learnings from the whole thing:

  1. See the light...use the light!
  2. Posing...make it simple and change it up by creating different emotions.
  3. Capture beauty...find the sweet spot.  This is something I need to learn more of.
  4. Your subject will mirror and reflect your energy. - Scott Roberts Lim
  5. When setting up a picture, there are many things to consider.  So take in to account all of the elements to what makes a great picture.  I have to be more patient and not rush shots.  I rather have one great picture than a few mediocre ones.
  6. How I create light can give me my own unique brand.
  7. Creating shadows by manipulating light will create a powerful shot
  8. Flash is controlled by aperture not by shutter speed.
  9. Models make shoots easy.  However, it's not always going to be that easy. 
Here's a few pictures.  Thanks to Megan Bibbo and Nica Gevalt for being such great models for the shoot!




Well, i guess that's it for now.  I'm excited to practice what I learn and hone my trade.  I actually have a lot more to write and share, but it's time for church.  Glory to Jesus!

Cheers!
