I needed Abs

By J
Julian Rance Photography 2012
This has been a busy month for me behind the camera, but it was much overdo since I neglected my passion for most of the past year.  Now that I'm committing more time to photography, my creative juices have been flowing and I've been working on new images to show off my skills.  During the Summer Olympics, I saw a Nike ad campaign that inspired me to test my skills and attempt to recreate the images I saw, but first I needed the right model...



Meet Deanelle!  She is a fitness trainer with abs that can form a diamond out of coal.  She was my subject over the weekend as I put forth my best effort to create an image worthy of a shoe or fitness ad.  We also managed worked on proving that fitness models can soften their look for lifestyles work.  We had a great time shooting and have more images coming soon.  

Be sure to visit my Facebook Fan page for updates to Deanelle's album and while you are there, check out more of my work.

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
