New Studio Shots

By J
Today was my first day taking advantage of my new studio space. Although I am becoming more familiar with controlled lighting, I still chose to keep the set up basic for this test shoot.


The main light was high right while the fill was left. I added a rear strobe to create separation between the model and the background.

I am excited to finally have a space dedicated to photography and look forward to sharing my work as I continue to grow!

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.

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

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
