Ulf,
Your work is really nice. Beautifully executed. MFD shines in your hands.
My thing is that I have seen Mazucco shooting with P&S camera and DSLR for Guess and I want to be him when I grow up. ( LOL )

Hi Andre,

that sounds a bit like that famous quote of Andreas Feiniger, and yes of course he was right!

I remember your question with the girl on that sofa with all that suggestions made - finally leading to Raphael Macuzzo simply using a DSLR, he is working really free and he (and his huge team) is doing a damn good job. But I think at first sight this is a state of mind - DSLR might help him working so easy and fast.
I see a lot of truth in Rob´s words (and yes, we did fashion work on 4x5 10 years ago), we always tried not to have a single style and we already felt we have to develop in a more free way, but that´s not done with a simple camera change, it is the way you are, the whole setup, lighting and post production. Hope we can reach it when we grow up ;-)
Thanks for your comments.

Cheers, Ulf

WOW. Andre just hit the button "mood and motion". Photography seems to turn to the Art of Photoshop, rather than the Art of Capturing images nowadays. They want everything to go with some flow, which the AD don't even know sometimes. The want the sense of mood, depending how they feel at that time.

Some of the new generation AD tells me don't worry, shoot anyway I want, and they will take care of all editing, Photoshop, adding wings to the model, etc. Why don't they train a monkey to press the shutter, save them money, since they are going to do all editing anyway? But they don't want to do that, because they don't have the composition and cropping skills that I have. After I build the foundation for them, then they can come in and finish the rest of the house. They can decorate the house, paint the house anyway then want.

Hello all,

Never posted here, but have admired many fine images, so I thought I'd give it a shot.
These are recent landscapes, from the last week or so; I'd appreciate feedback.

Thanks,

Jamie

Jamie,

They look great. I wonder how they look with a more natural white balance.

Yes, they are twins. Very sweet twins. (insert my voice here ) VERY good looking twins

The new models do not want to freeze for me to focus, they cry when I try to use 2.5K HMI's instead of 300W tungsten shooting ( not modeling ) light.
And besides it is so nice to come pick up camera with battery good for few thousand images and just shoot in 3 sec. That is why I feel free.
Andre

andre,

sounds like its time for some 'real' models who can take a 2k arri

Jonathan,

Deep twilight + 7000 ft. elevation = deep blue, cool light. This IS the natural color balance.
The mountain range (Sawtooth Mountains, Idaho) was shot at 6:15 am, and the burn area was at about 8:45 pm. With landscapes, I work with what I'm given, and my memory (which is often a blur, but that's another story)
Thanks

Jamie

Very nice as always, but why did you choose to blur the background more than usual in this picture, to put more focus on the food?

Keep in mind Ashley is Irish and this IS A PUB, so probably everything looked a little bit out of focus.

Nice, people really do make the images look warmer and more inviting. I need to start working with hospitalities more. Do you bring a food stylist with you on shoots?

Shot these two Monday (along with three other exteriors) for a small architect. I believe that I pushed my camera to its limits on the exterior. North side that never gets sunlight, very bright day, shot it while standing on an 8 foot ladder with my assistant holding the ladder steady along with my tripod legs, 1/2 sec exposure. Even with a long exposure, I had to brighten the slate greatly, thank god for noise reduction filters.

Joe, Some shots just don't make good samples but certainly pay the bills. These fall into that category, there's nothing special or distinctive about either shot. My advice is to not show work that isn't exceptional. Also, the interior looks as though it was flopped because of the silverware setup (which isn't necessary). Your previous post was much more interesting. Jim

Beautiful shot, tones, colours - the whole thing!

Where is Moab? Sounds Africa but looks USA.
