Would this all be considered "Digital Media"?

Yes it is! I use all those programs and I’m a Digital Art/Graphics Art/Film producer major… and yeah those are part of Digital Media.

"It can refer to the technical aspect of storage and transmission (e.g. hard disk drives or computer networking) of information or to the "end product", such as digital video, augmented reality or digital art."

The business, by 2 early 20’s women, is a photography studio. We specialize in digital photography, providing services for both professional portraits (family, children etc), commercial, and most importantly, custom artistic phtographs, from glamour, fantasy, couples etc. We want to represent ourselves as trendy, creative, original, glamourous, sexy, professional. These are the names we are deciding on:

Vanity Photography & Design
Urban Design & Photography
Urban Tones Photography & Design
Urban Vision Photography & Design
Urban Lens Photography & Design
Pixel Vision Design & Photography
Digital Canvas Photography & Design
Raspberry Photography & Design

Which of these sounds like the one you would click on first in a google search? Which conveys best what we do, our originality, our services? Do you have other suggestions?

thank you for your time!
im not trying to increase traffic to my site, its not meant to make money. its to advertise my services, and attract actual clients.

Also, "Vanité" is usually more associated with bathroom vanities in French, so it doesnt quite translate well into vanity as in self-obsession in one’s beauty.

in the local professional photography business, most are called "John Smith Photography". So anything that isn’t a person’s name is "creative".Although our specialty is glamour/fantasy, the big bucks will always come from simple family/chidren portraits, so it can’t be too different and scare away those clients either. It needs the right balance.

None of these names are particularly trendy or creative. And to me, urban means more of a landscape/place type photographer – one who shoots cityscapes and buildings, not glamor shots and people. The closest to your business theme is Vanity, but that might turn people off. How about using the word in French – i.e. Vanite

I never got past line 5.

Not a good way to ask people for anything and certainly not a question that I am inclined to help you on.

Hasselblad is creating a new standard of digital image quality for professional photographers with the announcement of a new camera and three camera backs based on the combination of Hasselblad’s new, true 39 megapixel CCD sensor and its unique Digital APO Correction (DAC) technology. This new line of products features the new Hasselblad Natural Color Solution, which takes digital photographic color reproduction to an entirely new level. The new products also deliver images of unsurpassed sharpness and resolution and at the same time reduce any moiré effect to a minimum – a first in the history of digital photography.

Based on the Hasselblad H2 camera with its range of high performance, digital central shutter-based lenses, and featuring extended features, such as DAC lens optimization and Instant Approval Architecture, the Hasselblad H2D-39 is the world’s first high-end, 39 megapixel, digital auto-focus camera. Compatible with the entire range of Hasselblad H System lenses, the world finest digital lenses, as well as the Hasselblad V camera lens system, the H2D-39 brings the highest level of integration and flexibility to the professional photographer.

The new Hasselblad 39 megapixel digital back products include the Hasselblad CFH-39, CF-39 and CF-39MS, and have been built to meet the needs of professionals who require the best, for both mobile and studio shooting. The 39 megapixel digital back products match the design and functionality of the Hasselblad H2 camera and the Hasselblad CFH-39 digital back fits onto view cameras using the H-system interface plate for mechanical attachment and flash sync connection to trigger digital capture. The CFH-39 also fully integrates with the power system of the Hasselblad H2, so that both camera and digital back can be powered by the H2’s Li-ion battery.

The Hasselblad CF-39 line of digital backs offers 39 megapixel digital capture with Hasselblad’s interchangeable camera interface, the i-Adapter, and the option of true color multi-shot capture. In a studio environment, the color resolution of captures can be increased by means of a unique multiple-exposure technique controlled by the optional Multi Shot Module (patent pending). The result is unique color resolution and absolutely moiré free images.

The one thing I haven’t seen in "professional" photography in a while is a working knowledge of exposure, art, or any influences that are not on Flickr. There are more megapixels than new ideas these days.

@Tim, yes and thank you.

I have been thinking about a ‘full frame’ digital camera for some studio work.

I still have some left over canon lenses with adverage optics, from my amateur days.
50mm f1.8
70-300mm f4-5.6 III
24MM F2.8

the other option is a leica m9. with which, i already have an army of tiny little and beautiful lenses from leica and vogtlander.

In my mind, if i choose a 5d, id have to include new lenses that i wont really use outside the studio. While the m9 is more expensive.

which would you choose?

I have a couple thoughts.

1–It’s not a good idea to buy any body for pro use that you can’t afford to buy two of or at least a second, cheaper version. If your only full frame camera breaks or gets stolen before or during a shoot, you are screwed unless you can rent something fast. So if you can’t afford the M9 and a second full frame body, or something you feel okay with as a reliable back-up, I see Canon in your future.

2–Without knowing which M-mount glass you have, I imagine it’s still nicer than the Canon glass you’ve mentioned, which sounds mostly like amateur lenses. If you had the 50/1.2, 70-300/2.8 and 24/2, that might be a different story but a variable aperture zoom? That’s nothing worth holding out on a Leica for!

3–Do you have a Digital Leica repair tech you can trust and can you afford to have the RF calibrated for your longest/fastest lens? Having a tech in mind will be important to purchasing that camera since repairs will generally take longer and be more costly than the Canon. If you can hand it over to Leica in New Jersey, they will give you a loaner body though, so this can provide some cushion if you need a repair before a shoot, which you would not have with the Canon. Also, right off the bat, I think most Leica’s need to be calibrated to the longest fastest lens you plan on using on them. Since you’re doing studio, I imagine you will be using 75 or 90mm lenses. My M6 TTL needed to be calibrated for my 90 Summicron even though it shot beautifully with my 50mm wide open.

4–I’m personally biased towards Leica because I love the company, the cameras and the lenses and think everyone should aspire to shoot with their gear! However, for 90% of my paid work, I shoot Nikon because Nikon allows me to have multiple bodies and a much larger, more flexible lens kit. I also don’t mind putting the wear and tear on my Nikons as much as the Leica.

Good luck and I hope you enjoy whatever you land on!

hi y’all,
ive loved everything around pictures all my life but never had any professional knowledge in the area. i don’t have too much in savings at the moment so school is not really an option…
do you know of a good course or series of courses on dvd covering digital photography? (camera, lighting, studio, portrait photography and photoshop)

If such a class existed, it would be called film making and would include a section on videography.which hopefully would include video editing

Go to Amazon.com and in the DVD section search on camera or photography tutorials.

Then look at the comments for each prospective DVD that catches your eye.

I found some gloves with strips of led-lights in them. Naturally, I really want to do some experimenting with them and my camera, in a studio set up, leaving the shutter open for long period of time. They light up all kinds of crazy colors, and a blacklight only enhances them. I am wondering though, what effect (if any) will a blacklight have on a image produced using a dslr? Can the camera actually pick up the enhanced effects of the blacklight, or will it be a futile venture? Anyone ever experimented with this before? Any tips? I’m not doing this for any other reason than I love photography and it seems like a fun thing to do I’ve never tried before. If it doesn’t work out, nothing lost nothing gained.
P.S. Since I will be behind the camera, I have a friend who will wave around her hands with the lit up globes on to get the effects. If a blacklight does anything at all with digital phtography, might it also be wise for her to wear some clothing that lights up under blacklights? Also, I haven’t gotten rid of my 35mm, and would be just as interested if it would have any effect on traditional b&w and color film?
I’m trying to find any tips others who have tried this may have.

With UV you’ll need a slower exposure. I used two lights, one on each side of my subject, a tripod and a high ISO.http://www.flickr.com/photos/perki88/385138067/in/photostream http://www.flickr.com/photos/perki88/385129448/in/photostream
