Photography in Austin, Texas
Yes, it’s early. But I am way excited to announce that I’ll be teaching a masterclass at WPPI next February in Las Vegas! I’ll be covering shoot planning, location lighting, post production, and compositing. More details can be found on my other blog here. Hope to see you in LAS!
In addition to the contest I mentioned earlier, “Baby and the Tramp” is getting some love over at Crash Taylor’s The Still Image blog. There, I talk about the approach, how I lit it and shot it. Head over there and take a look, and be sure to go through all of the excellent images posted there. Lots of good stuff!
Headed to WPPI on Saturday – if you want to meet up, catch me via Twitter or send me an email at eric //a t//doggettstudios.com.
I am excited to announce the launch of a new blog, KillTheAmbient.com.
KTA was designed to offer my thoughts on lighting, business, marketing, and any other aspect of photography that sounds interesting. While I hope the info I post there will be valuable, it will definitely also have a little bit of humor thrown in for good measure. For example, where else can you read that you should get pregnant to guarantee new camera gear, or pack heat when traveling?
Down the road, I might offer some training programs at the site if there’s enough interest. But for now, visit the site, sign up for updates, and enjoy the curiously fun photo tips and comedic stylings of yours truly.
Just a note that I will be with the guys from DadLabs.com for their live internet show this Thursday, January 14th, starting at 1:00 PM CST. To catch the show, head on over to DadLabs.com at that time. I’ll be talking about photo tips you must avoid like the plague when shooting your family!
Afterwards, we are headed right into a hilarious conceptual shoot with them that has been in the planning stages for a few months. We’ll also be rolling some video for a behind-the-scenes feature.
I recently launched an updated version of the portfolio site. Along with the larger images and easier navigation, we shot 3 intro videos for the various site sections (weddings, portraits, and seniors). Below is the portrait intro video, which gives you a glimpse into how we do location portraiture work. There are also several behind-the-scenes clips included from some of my favorite shoots!
An interesting video popped up on Vimeo by photographer Peter Belanger showing the creation of a cover for Macworld magazine.
The selected image was a tabletop shot of two iPhones, and this time lapse video shows the process of building the set, retouching the image, and finishing the cover. I found it interesting that they were using just the modeling lights of their Profoto heads for this shot.
Thanks for stopping by the DogBlog! If you have any comments or thoughts about the work, I'd love to hear them. [Read More …]
