Read MoreCameraBag 2 is an ingenious photo editing program, offering a combination of cutting-edge filter technology with the clout of classic tools. Escalating the use of presets into a new dimension, Nevercenter has thought long and hard about the tools and presets photographers need in order to achieve almost boundless control over images at a price that is, in my opinion, a steal. What’s not to like with an interface as simple and elegant as this?
Read MoreI’ve seen them advertised in the photography magazines to which I subscribe. From the very first ad I thought it was a great idea. Camera straps can be so conspicuous and cumbersome. I’ve taken to wearing my camera/strap like a sling, around my neck, with my right arm through the strap and the camera hanging down my right side just to keep it out of my way. Unfortunately, that doesn’t always work out for the best. Getting the camera up to eye level when it’s under your arm takes a bit of squiggling and juking to get that pesky arm out of the way.

Be yourself, be in the moment, and be true to what you see and especially feel about the images you take.
Michael E. Stern is a photographer. He’s also a scientist, business man, and an educator. In this very informative and anecdotal book, Build a Better Photograph, he walks us through what it means to be a professional photographer in the fields of Environmental Portraiture, Product Photography, 3D Scanning, and Compositing Techniques. His personal stories of how he secured certain jobs keeps us on the edge of our seats. As he relates some of his experiences working with clients in the corporate world he discloses some of the pitfalls that photographers can run into when faced with tough assignments and less than cooperative people.
This stellar collaboration between Glenn Rand, educator and Program Director for Graduate Programs at Brooks Institute, and Tim Meyer, Portrait Division Chair at Brooks Institute, is a blessing for all photographers interested in portraiture.
