I've been a photographer for about twenty years, and only within the past two, have I gone to digital. Not going back... 9) Sep 20 05 11:59 am Link What are you doing on model mayhem? Do you plan to shoot models? If so your portfolio should demonstrate you will flatter them and i am not sure it does this. Sep 20 05 12:23 pm Link i would take some classes and shoot everyday. Sep 20 05 12:53 pm Link Thor--you have gotten a start on an interesting ouvre. Embrace it! I have the great fortune of being able to shoot Nikon 35mm film and digital or Mamiya 6x4.5 as I (or a client) may wish. For the little travel I do, I've found a Nikon FM and two lenses, ranging from 35-210mm, more than enough (and the Mamiya plain obscene). For shoots with models: D2x or D70, for chimping.

It comes in real handy with shots of lightning, and I used it for several years taking nature shots for myself. But recently I started an interest in photographing people in set up shots. I don't have any expensive lighting equipment yet, so I'm making due with lighting tricks. (And I can be inventive.)

If you're into an American subculture, if God has blessed you with an abundance of double-plus women, and if you can make those subjects, however you define them, beautiful, bring out their humanity, and tell their story, you will have, I believe, a uniquely entertaining and expressive collection of work early in your experience with the art. Keep that film camera in use. The medium stands better than a chance of coming through the digital onslaught quite alive and stable. --Jim Sep 20 05 05:02 pm Link |
