The one thing I tell them all is learn your craft if you want to be a professional photographer. People like to break the rules, be original and creative ,but if they don't know the rules they just don't know what they're doing. I break the rules all the time but only because I know them. Photography is an art and a science. If people tell them they are a great photographer who have seen some of their snapshots that means they probably have a good eye for composition. That is a must, but does not a great photographer make. There is a technical side to photography that seems to be being overlooked these days, perhaps even avoided and unfortunately the result of people not caring about proper lighting, posing, and composition, not to mention being technically ignorant of their equipment, is causing a dramatic fall in the quality of photography being produced. The volume is staggering but the craftsmanship is lacking. Here is a quote from a recent article on "luminous landscape" by Alan Briot <br /><br /> <span style="font-style:italic;"> "Photography consists of two separate elements: art and science. It is through the successful combination of these two elements that the creation of world-class photographs can be accomplished.Yet art and science differ greatly in their aim and their practice. In fact, they are so far apart as to present serious difficulties if their respective qualities are not known to the photographer.The science part of photography includes technique and equipment. The artistic part of photography includes the photographer's artistic goals, his vision, inspiration and the use of art-related concepts. These two parts need to merge seamlessly for the creation of a successful world-class photograph to take place. If one of these two parts dominates the other the result is either a technically excellent photograph without much artistic interest, or a very artistic photograph lacking technical excellence."<br /><br /> <span style="font-weight:bold;"> "Let me be really clear. If you are<br /> a mediocre photographer, or you have<br /> mediocre skills in dealing with clients …<br /> if what you offer is a service for people who<br /> aren’t clever enough to take their own<br /> pictures, you are doomed. D-O-O-M-E-D."<br /> Seth Godin</span></span><br /> <br />If you are an aspiring photographer I would encourage you to learn your craft anyway you can. If you are an established photographer I encourage you to learn more of your craft. If you are a potential client I hope you will learn to discern the difference between a good snapshot and a portrait created using all the elements of the art & science of photography.WEE ITS ME MARY DEANhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18401798953971452004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8071276452005808268.post-38380939986441604672009-08-05T15:31:00.006-05:002009-08-05T22:26:58.940-05:00Little Rock Studio in the HeightsIf you haven't had a chance to come by our new Little Rock location I thought I would show you a few shots.

He showed me how to set my lights up and invited me to an APPA convention. I can truly say that convention changed my photography and my life. I met so many wonderful people who invited me into a community of photographers and freely taught me all they knew. I believe when you teach someone about photography, you elevate the profession of photography. This has been a difficult year for anyone in business, which is why weather you are a new photographer or a seasoned veteran , it is crucial to expand your network, learn new techniques, and be inspired. We have some incredible speakers coming in for our convention. Denis Reggie is the father of wedding photojournalism and a must see program. Thanks to Canon ,Denis's program can be attended free of charge. But don't stop there. If you are registered for the convention you will see John Woodward really does know more about digital photography than anyone, anywhere, that Mitche Graffe is not a best selling author on marketing for no reason, and that Barbie Vallot did not win Photographer of the Year in Louisiana by accident. These are only a few reasons why you must attend and absolutely must invite a friend. The Doubletree Hotel and the Rivermarket are a perfect setting for this year's convention. CAPTURE '09 will be a life altering, business saving, inspiration to someone. Will it be you? I can't wait to see all of you there to spend time with old friends and make some new ones.<br /><br /><br />Lance Johnston <br />APPA President <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirFk__n91HWHJ2IdKR9eXDiO51j7OtTZHltd8rAvJakOUF4_bdCLyvhC0yw9q9L0F_IUB9yBZS0j-VZuKyMp880hrCtRl_pGqEw91XvM-KzIXpB8_iqN3HxRDSHA4urPI7IIh51pFjxDM/s1600-h/Picture+2.png"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 354px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirFk__n91HWHJ2IdKR9eXDiO51j7OtTZHltd8rAvJakOUF4_bdCLyvhC0yw9q9L0F_IUB9yBZS0j-VZuKyMp880hrCtRl_pGqEw91XvM-KzIXpB8_iqN3HxRDSHA4urPI7IIh51pFjxDM/s400/Picture+2.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332566721049928082" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://web.me.com/lancejohnston/site/home.html">CAPTURE '09</a>WEE ITS ME MARY DEANhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18401798953971452004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8071276452005808268.post-72094789848242443742009-04-27T21:08:00.003-05:002009-04-27T21:27:38.050-05:00Call it Music Monday<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBeJtFXY5T2emVQjyMabc30g4Mn-BcmrYdzKDR00X2lvqIsal_ij7TEUAu90JgjrfmmiDp9S5dnd-2Im4lWzWnvUqI9PRe36ijOdNE28c_eXngcAEF4o01pH5rYxf9AzKfiCnC6fA8OxU/s1600-h/PS22+blog+header3.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 277px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBeJtFXY5T2emVQjyMabc30g4Mn-BcmrYdzKDR00X2lvqIsal_ij7TEUAu90JgjrfmmiDp9S5dnd-2Im4lWzWnvUqI9PRe36ijOdNE28c_eXngcAEF4o01pH5rYxf9AzKfiCnC6fA8OxU/s400/PS22+blog+header3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329561948713166450" /></a><br />I am in a music mood so I wanted to share these videos that Barbara showed me last week.
