New Studio Space

By J
I would like to announce a wonderful business partnership that has allowed me to secure a studio space just south of Charlotte. I'm looking forward to expanding my creative process as I now have a workspace that is dedicated to photography.

I'll make sure I post a few updates such as images and video as I continue to create works of 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
