POURQUOI LA PHOTO DE RUE ?

J’aime ce style de photo très instantanée, où l’humain est le point central, avec son habitat, ses habitudes, son formatage social, ses déformations, ses aspirations et inspirations. Ce genre de photo amène à rencontrer du monde, à nouer un contact, un dialogue, à apprendre et à découvrir au travers de ces gens que l’on a photographié. C’est ce que j’essaie de faire au travers de mes photos. Je parcours les rues de différentes villes très régulièrement, cherchant différentes situations, des personnes différentes, communes comme peu communes, faisant la diversité de notre société. Que ce soit seul ou avec des amis photographes

Right after ‘what should I buy’ comes this series of questions: why don’t you use Lightroom? And what does Photoshop give me that Lightroom lacks? Moreover, is your workflow applicable to Lightroom? I received a slew of emails recently following the release of LR CC/6 and realised I’ve never really answered any of these questions. Today we’re going to fix that.

My last article introduced the importance (or non-importance) of the shutter speed when used with flash indoors, this one deals with flash outdoors, which is very different. And it’s different because, outdoors in daylight, the ambient light produced by the sun is bright enough to affect the shot, and often is so bright that the flash makes little difference to the shot.

Over the next few weeks I am going to be producing a series of articles on how I give myself the best opportunities for bringing back some great images when out shooting landscapes.  These are also the tips I give my guests who attend one of the MacLean Photographic Tours or Workshops.

When you are presented with a fantastic scene lit with superb light, most photographers grab the camera and start shooting without much thought to the composition of the image.  They then get home and are disappointed by the results because the images don't convey the feelings they had when they were at the location.

Trouver de bons spots photos peut se révéler très difficile si l'on n'utilise pas les bons outils à la base. C'est pour cette raison que j'ai décidé d'écrire cet article. Premièrement faire des repérages sur carte (google Maps ou autres) dans une zone...

Use it well and you can make very subtle changes to the look of a model’s face, body or clothing. Use it badly and you might become a feature on one of the many bad Photoshop sites. The Liquify tool can be a sledgehammer if you don’t understand its nuances so today we are going to take a look at some of it’s more important features and how to use them.

As a wedding photographer, I tend to shoot thousands of images at a time. Before I can edit anything, I need to go through each image one by one, delete the bad ones, and figure out which images are actually worth editing/delivering. Lightroom is notoriously slow at loading raw files and therefore, culling thousands of images can take hours. Even if each image takes just 1 second to load, that extra time could add an hour to your workflow. In some cases with slower computers and larger files, each image can take longer than 5 seconds to load which in turn can add hours to your editing process. 

Leading lines in photography are some of the best ways to naturally tell the viewer where to look–besides using depth of field, rule of thirds and more. But they’re very important in regards to portraits because of the way that it can make a body specifically look. The folks over at Weekly Imogen talk about specifics like using corners and other lines based on the specifics of the portraiture (such as posing.)

In Part One of this series of features on how to improve your landscape photography I spoke about the different methods of supporting your camera to avoid the dreaded camera shake, to allow you to shoot longer exposures and to aid in composition. This week I am going to talk about the filters I use on the camera and to show you what a difference they can make to the final image.

In my mind, there are three important elements of a photograph. Lighting, Composition and Moment. Every picture that I love has these elements, in varying

Iridient digital has released a major upgrade to it’s Raw Processing software Iridient Developer. I’ve covered this software numerous times on the blog, in particular in relation to it’s ability to decode Fuji X-Trans files. Version 3 is a significant upgrade over version 2 and has a lot of new features in it. The update has addressed most of the (few) criticisms that I’ve had of the software in the past, and it now has a lot of functionality for processing images.
