kino, are you using an iphone app to edit those photos? or; do you just take them on your iphone and then edit them on a computer?

[fraew]

I usually just shoot photos in the stock iPhone camera app, combine them in Pro HDR, then bring out or bury details in Camera+. I try to keep my process simple and quick because it's really easy to get caught up in a filtering frenzy resulting in an overworked piece of shit. Sometimes it works out.

and yeah Kid8, that lit silhouette is from the Beauty Bar. Good eye man.

Jill Greenberg and Richard Avedon of course for basic portraiture. David Lachappelle is also really interesting to look at for lighting inspiration, as well as Gregory Crewdson. Both are more complex scene lighting compared to like Avedon who was doing frontal portraits. Also running searches on Tableau Photography to get ideas for complex scenes. If you're interested in doing portraits I highly recommend looking at a lot of fashion photography, both color and black and white, as it relies so heavily on dramatic lighting. And of course if you're doing still lifes you can never go wrong with some of Edward Westons peppers!

I recently got Lightroom and I've finally gotten around to editing / uploading my pictures from the past year. I have no clue how to do this, I'm trying not to filter my photos to death

Like this homage to Francis Bacon that I shot through a red plastic cup









That's more than enough.

Yeah man, I wish. We get deer outside the house all the time. One of these days I'll get the chance at this photo again.

[Quixotic]

Well shit. I post some pictures with my new DSLR and get upstaged by an iPhone.



Seriously though, those are real nice pictures.

[kino]

Ha. I keep going back to the top two images you posted, Quixotic. Like at least a dozen or more times. Love the color of both and the moment captured on the second. Sweet.

[kino]

Not to mention, first and foremost, I love ya crazy ass!

the Caravan's kinda perfect

[pana]

[ghostguts]

lot of miscommunication and the such that goes on in this business

[ghostguts]

this guy is a show promoter by the way and isn't paying photographers anything beyond pennies

[ghostguts]

wtityb

[wolfie]

imagine someone having the nerve to tell him something

[tyler_c]

this is just unbelievable, honestly. combining exposures is something i haven't really messed with much, but that's really inspiring

[Turner_Brown]

Nice work kino. Let's see you do that with your droid dwb

[kino]

DO IT TYLER. Like most things, you just keep at it until it works or you give up in disgust.

Here's one of the original images I used to make that double exposure.
