Listed below are a few selected articles Tony has written about different aspects of photography and lighting:
- Defining Our Workflow
Subtleties of color are sometimes hard to detect by the human eye. Our eye will “normalize” or balance most things we see as normal. Much the same way that the deep and warm color of a household lamp becomes less perceptible as a warm light, the longer we are inside.
- Controlling Background Brightness - Studio and Outdoors
People who have attended art classes have been taught that in order to produce depth in a painting there must be a foreground, middle ground and background. Control over this dimension and depth usually is the result of planning and foresight.
- The Studio Portrait
Working with people in the studio is one of the most exciting aspects of professional photography. Faces come in all shapes and sizes and can be documented in such a way as to simply record how someone looks or there can be an interpretation of the subject showing the viewers of the photograph a completely different person.
- Control Studio Light Quality
Working with studio lighting may seem simple to some working professional photographers. Their day-to-day world often revolves around lighting. However, there are a lot of new photographers and even a few full-time professionals who are working in a style other than what they might enjoy.
- Understanding Exposure Controls
Photographers everywhere share a vision. A vision of what can be, should be, or possibly, what might be. We are constantly working towards directing the viewer’s attention in a picture, making a statement with a picture or documenting something with a picture.
- The Simplicity of Flash Outdoors
We’ve all seen images that were taken at that perfect time of day. The time when the shadows are soft and warm, when the subjects are looking their best and all of the elements that make up a beautiful outdoor photograph are present.
- Controlling Light On Location
Many photographers who have been taking pictures for a while find themselves in situations that require a little more skill than others and some technical decisions must be made. One of the most common is to decide at what point to switch off the portable flash on top of your camera and go to a more powerful flash shooting solution.
- Shooting For The Digital
Interesting how just when you think it’s safe to go back into the water, another shark shows up waiting for you to make a splash.
- The Other Photographic Tool
For many of us, photography is our life. We breathe it and live it everyday. We are somehow drawn to it for not only our livelihood but also our passion. We are proud to respond photographer when people ask what we do. Yet somehow, we almost never talk about it anymore.
- How To Get The Most From Your Educational Experience
If you are reading this article you have already been a part of photographic conventions, possibly photographic schools, workshops and seminars.
