admin — Fri, 18 May 2012 01:40:32 +0000

What Majors in Engineering are there for Photography? I want to get into the sciences into the camera and lenses (sensors, technology, etc) to build camera’s, lenses, and sensors. I love taking pictures too and doing the whole process with film and digital too. I currently work at a local photography studio, whom in which do all the school pictures, sports events, senior pictures, and portraits, etc. Anywho, I thought it was something like Light engineering, but I didn’t know if it was electronic engineering and such. Much thanks and any information is much MUCH appreciated!

Photography is an art, not a science. There is no discipline of engineering which involves photography.

My only problem is I don’t know how to end my essay. I NEED HELP please. Thank you…

Fini?

In the beginning of your essay, you discussed your proposition, making a career as a fashion photographer and by the end you should be able to wrap up the essay with your conclusion of how feasible such a career is based upon the current economy, need for fashion photographers in your market area and the skills you intend to procure before you graduate from the uni

Careers in photography that require a lot of travel?

admin — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 01:38:46 +0000

Whenever people ask me what i want to do as a career im mostly undecided but photography always comes to mind which is a huge hobby of mine. I’ve heard by itself its a bad career choice moneywise. I also love traveling and i want to somehow incorporate the 2 but i don’t know what kinds of careers are out there that i would enjoy. I start college in the fall and was thinking of studying photojournalism because i also like writing but i just really don’t know what other careers are out there.

You are going exactly the right direction with photojounalism. If you have what it takes for the job, you can make good money as an independent contractor or freelancer. But you have to be prepared for some lean years while you develop your reputation and skills.

Can anyone recommend a good digital camera for starting a small photography business?

admin — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 05:49:43 +0000

I’m interested in starting a small (on location) photography business. I have several small digital cameras, but would love some opinions from owners of different brands. Would mostly be for group/single/wedding photography. Stills and action.

A pro who is ready to start their own business would already know exactly what they need and have the skills and experience to back it up. You clearly do not.

Please be realistic and learn the ins and outs of photography and business before jumping into making money. It’s not as simple as you’re making it out to be.

Digital photography, film making, music production. Is this considered "Digital Media"?

admin — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 03:21:21 +0000

Digital photography
Indie film making
Music production
Photoshop
Lightroom
Premiere
Sony Vegas
FL Studio

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."

Which of these business names do you prefer?

admin — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 02:18:32 +0000

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

Writing/Photography careers?

admin — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 02:18:18 +0000

Okay, so I thought I wanted to be a photojournalist…but turns out that there’s actually not much writing to it (well thats what I’ve heard atleast) Is that correct?
If yes, then what career would let me do writing more + photography?

Writting is not properly a university degree; you can choose phylology or literature. Writting skill develops while writting, same as photography one; you also can study photography. I think both marry well; some photojournalists write stories with their photographs; Walker Evans liked writting, but finally was a reknowned photographer, Lewis Carrol photographed and wrote Alice in Wanderland

Do you think photography is a good career to choose in life?

admin — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 06:52:19 +0000

After doing several courses anyone interested in the field would be really great on it. But by only doing photography, can any one make a good life? If so where in the world will be the best place to go for photography careers??

You can make a decent living with photography. Like starting any business there will be a few tough years while you build up a reputation and clients. After that you should be ok.

Whats next after 39 mio pixel Digital back from Hasselblad, in professional PHOTOGRAPHY?

admin — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 07:32:24 +0000

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.
