Hi there The Foto Graffer

Cool, glad you really like the site. Thanks also for spreading the word at college, that's really appreciated, the more the merrier.

Guilty as charged - The edge is all my idea, competition is a great thing and it would be nice to think that the edge could possibly push the level of competition up, whether that will actually happen or not remains to be seen but what a great thought. I've watched styles of photography come and go and come back again (I know, I'm getting old) It's nice to try and push the boundaries altho' I don't think I push boundaries in my style of photography, with it being rather minimalistic and natural which to be honest has taken 20 years to achieve. I possibly do push boundaries in the way that I shoot - when everyone around me is using more and more lights and retouching I only use daylight and the smallest amount of retouching when really necessary. I love when I come across people like yourself who have great new ideas an go out and do stuff, that's exciting.

It's pretty easy to make albums, all you have to do is click on photos - then my photos - then my albums - then add albums - then it's just a case of drag and drop which ever images you want into the album.

speak soon, all the best

Ian

Road photos across USA

Hi, Im planning on doing a trip across US starting L.A. all route 66 ending in Chicago and then to New York.
Any tips of things that I can find to shoot along the way ?
It can be anything, from sightseeing to a famous crazy guy in a town.

Regards,

Diego

Electric Shock

I did the second part of the Littlewoods pools shoot yesterday, got off to a great start, we hired this large studio in Battersea, London. I was quite happy setting up my lights, the studio manager pointed me in the direction of there extention leads.

I picked up this coiled extension lead, plugged it into the wall, like you do and thought great this will do the trick, so I walked over to one of my strobes holding the end of the extension lead when WALLOP!!! yep, one hell of an electric shock w… Continue

Guardian Rights Grab

Hi Folks,

This is the letter I have just sent to Chris Elliott at the Guardian. Now he won't care what I say, probably won't care if a score of us write. But if every single photographer reading this were to write, then GNM might just listen.

Just remember, selling rights to our work is what makes us Professional photographers. If our clients start eroding those rights further, along with that fact that there is simply less work around today, then more of us will find it impossible to make a l… Continue
