Lighting is Language

Lighting!!! The most important thing to a photographer since the camera was invented in 1814 by Charles and Vincent Chevalier. Light is the language that always us to understand shapes, surfaces and objects. What is to be considered a snap shot or a great image can solely be determine by the lighting composition. Some say the lighting is the most important part to a great image, in my current state of Knowledge I would on lighting I would have to agree. Don' get me wrong having a captivating subject is important to. LOL. This past weekend me a some friends got together and tested a few different lighting set ups. All natural lighting with a subject and a few different objects. The end result gave great insight into how light hits different objects, shapes and surfaces.

Hope you enjoy.

When in the market for a web designer

Making a decision about which web designer to choose has been a journey with many up and downs. Some designers wanted me to send my work and payments with out every meeting them. I realize this is the age of electronic interfacing but Im old fashion when it comes to investing in something as important as my personal web site. Being able to meet a web designer in person gives me a chance to evaluate them personally. Even at the moment when I did meet some designers it felt as if they would just throw every big word that has to do with web designing at me. Confusing and not interested is the result from that. As a business man myself, I have learned that making things simple and clear is better for the client. With a few months having gone bye and many hours of searching for the right web designer a simple referral from a fellow photographer paid off big. Lindsay Gatz you are my web angel. Agreed to meet in person, made the process simple and most important great customer service. Having the right design to compliment my photo work was of all importance and Lindsay made that happen. I just have a few words of advise when looking for a web designer. Until someone is compliant with your every web design need don't settle. Realize that your site is your identity, it determines how your potential client sees you and ultimately decides if your the right choice.

The business or art

Receiving the gift is merely a step into the artistic lifestyle. Protecting your genius is a reality to which we must all do. Pretend your a beautiful creature of the wild with an array of exotic colors, in your environment you adapt to protect yourself. As an artist there is no difference to the lengths of knowledge that we must obtain which better equipped us to take on infringement. I all to well understand the procrastination of reading as a visional learner. On the other hand I will go to any lengths to protect my work. Taking a trip to Barnes & Nobles or googling the business of your artistic form is as essential as air to breath.

This is not me saying that I have all the answers clearly I don't. Laws change and get created everyday, this is rather my way of reaching out to my fellow artistic minds to share what knowledge you may have which will protect us all from infringement.

Opportunity

Opportunity has always been one thing in which I prepare for. In some cases I practice things in which I don't know if I will ever use but I always say better to have it than not have it. Lately I have had the opportunity to meet other talented artist in the industry. Weather its Hiromi Tatsuta of B shoe line from Japan or Matthew Jordan Smith world renown photographer. In these situations I find myself to be amazingly composed but non the less excited to be in the presence of such great artist. These moments come and go so fast, the out come is never know until the end. Did I impress them, was I to straight forward, should I have talked more, so many things run throw my mind. I guess in the end result is that I am Brennen Scott Photographer, a creative mind and soul. I love to life, I see the positive in the situation that I am put in everyday.

Quality over quantity

Main people view a photographer as someone who can be disposed of at a moments notice. And you may be right, in some cases. Quality work is hard to find now in this over saturated market of photographers anyone with a half decent camera and photoshop can proclaim themselves a photographer. So what is the solution, go to google search and type in masters of photography. If the photographer that you have chosen can not be compared to at least one of the masters then either you wanted a free shoot, the photographer is not so good or its both. Now this is not me dissing anyone for their photography its just explain the game of it all.

Hope you have a beautiful shoot...

Custom Hotel pool party Tattoo's

In the moment where the sun is shining, bottles are being popped and there is a pool only one thing can come from this pure fun. Most times when you view photos from a pool party people are having fun swimming or laying by the pool side. On the other hand how many times do you really pay attention to what the person next to you has tattooed on their body. It was a beautiful day and the pool party was filled with beautiful people and their body art. I hope you will enjoy the art as much as I did..
