Show Notes:
As always, I did my best to support my special someone and she did a fantastic job working the runway in this show. Overall, I ended up taking well over 450 images as the pace was quick and the designers definitely kept the styles coming!


Aside from the packed club, music, models, and various scenes that played out on the runway, the most notable highlight occurred when a local up and coming rap artist introduced a new dance called the "drunk man" in which he began to stagger from side to side while nearly falling into the laps of the audience members.

Initially, audience members did not seem interested in the content of the song, as it provided a brief intermission during the show, but when the new dance was introduced, the young performer quickly had the crowd eating from his hands.


I would have captured a shot or two of this new dance had I not been in the middle of a battery change for my flash!

Pen Tablet vs. a Mouse for Photo Editing

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

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

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
