Welcome

By J
Welcome to my blog! This is my first run at creating a blog so hopefully visitors will find this site informative and fun. I am creating this blog as a supplement to my business website (www.JulianRancePhotography.com).



My goal is to establish a more personal connection with individuals that appreciate my work. Additionally, I don't feel a business website is the most appropriate medium for casual conversation as it relates to my personal pursuits and interests.

In time, my vision is, this blog will feature photography news, tips, critiques, etc. I may not know everything there is to know about photography, but hopefully this blog will create a place where visitors can learn a little about what I love.

I am excited to share the story behind my art.

Pen Tablet vs. a Mouse for Photo Editing

By J
For a little over a year I have been using a Wacom Intuous4 pen tablet to edit my images and absolutely love it.  As a digital photographer, I enjoy the entire creative process from the moment I power up my Nikon D90 to the final clicks in my Apple Aperture software and now that I can remove the restrictions of using a traditional mouse, I'm having more fun with my digital work flow.

Studio lighting Portrait Photography Tutorial

By J
This This is a great video on using a large softbox.  In the video the instructor demonstrates several lighting techniques as well as a trick for metering the balanced output of the light to avoid a "hotspot." I actually use this metering approach to ensure that I don't run into dramatically un-even light in my images. As always, be sure to check back for more blog updates! -Julian

Clamshell lighting - flawless beauty lighting Tutorial

By J
I recently found this is a great video that offers an easy and affordable way to take great portraits with just two strobes/speedlights and a two umbrellas.  I use a similar approach with one strobe and a reflector on headshots, but I will be giving this a try especially for flattering shots on location.  I like this approach because everything is compact and can be set up/broken down quickly. Be sure to check out my work at www.JulianRancePhotography.com and let me know if you are interested in working with me. -Julian
