Portraiture grows an attitude

Oh will you look at that. How very Web 2.0!

Picture-21.jpgI don’t normally single out single photographers, but I’ve been a fan of Renoux for so long, that I feel I have to plug the guy. He’s a Frenchman, no doubt with an intense passion for life. His portraiture work is some of the most amazing I’ve ever seen in my life. The sheer Joie de vivre, passion and je-ne-sais-quoi that radiates from his photos is out of this world.

Picture-11.jpgA word of warning however: Many of his portraits include nudes, so you may not want to look at this one in your lunch break. Unless you’ve got a job like mine, of course, where staring at boobs all day is perfectly acceptable.

Either way, check out Renoux’s deviantART Gallery. The man’s a genius.

Yeah, the guy sure has a nice room and a very nice light setting. But I don’t know. Even though some pictures are great, I don’t like that he is not very creative.

Macro Photography Photo Workshop

Macro Photography Photo Workshop by Haje Jan Kamps My day job, if it can be called that, is being a writer. I've got one book out there so far and it's awesome, so go ahead and buy a copy! It's available from Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, and most decent-sized bookshops, too!

To find out more, check out this post! If you want to know more about the 'being a writer' thing, check this site out.

Put another dime in the jukebox

Put another dime in the jukebox In front of you, five hyperactive men with guitars, drums, and microphones. Behind you, five thousand fans. In your hands, a camera... You're going to need more than just a little bit of good luck to pull this one off. That's where this book comes in.

With nearly a hundred fantastic gig photos, and a ton of info about how to get involved in taking photos like this yourself, you can't go wrong. Buy this book. Grab your camera. Good luck.

Street Photography: London

Street Photography: London Take a Canon EOS 450D. Attach a Canon 50mm f/1.4 lens. Hit the streets of London. See what happens.

Sounds simple - but the results are anything but. Moving, intense, and personal, Street Photography: London is a great collection of the people of London, their passions, and their dreams. Look for yourself!

About

This site is all about learning more about photography, from the incredibly insightful (rarely) to the dreadfully mundane (also, hopefully rarely) via just about everything in between.

If this website seems a little whimsical and random, then that's because the author of this blog, who for the occasion is confusing himself by writing about himself in the third person, is slightly whimsical and random himself.

Enjoy!
