Reviewing your photographs from Older Archives


Sometimes its just plain fun to go through your archive of older photos. Now with a distant memory of the scenes and events your photographs may appear better than previous scans. This is in part due to that at the time there are too many good photos and those not with the highest rating but still with merit tend to get drowned out.


This image was taken at one of the great Buddhas in Kamakura Japan. The hawk like bird may seem small but this Buddha is very large.  Without the bird it would be hard to understand the scale of this image. It could be in anyone’s home garden. Besides scale the bird helps to give height to statue as there is the appearance that the head is up high where birds soar.


The next image with people in it does convey the scale of the Buddha. In theses type of metal statues the green colors are soft and muted and it is easy for green foliage to overpower the scene. That is why I have mute the greens in the background to give the Buddha statue more visual punch.

The Great Buddha of Kamakura (Kamakura Daibutsu) is a bronze statue of Amida Buddha, which stands on the grounds of Kotokuin Temple.  It's the second tallest bronze Buddha statue in Japan, at a height of 13.35 meters, surpassed only by the statue in Nara's Todaiji Temple.
The statue was originally built in 1252 and located inside a large temple hall. The temple buildings were destroyed many times by typhoons and a tidal wave in the 14th and 15th centuries. So, since 1495, the Buddha has been standing in the open ground. 

Do take the time to review your collection as there may be hidden gold or at least fond memories of places you've been.

Effective Pricing for Portrait Photography

As a portrait photographer, you know that the heart of your business beats in the rhythm of capturing souls through lenses. But here’s something not many will tell you: there’s an art to portrait photography pricing too.

Just think about it. How do you put a price on immortalizing someone’s personality in a snapshot? You’re not just pressing buttons; you’re creating magic!

You might be wondering, “How can I create my own masterpiece when it comes to setting prices?” Or perhaps thinking, “I don’t want to undersell myself or scare away potential clients.”

Understanding Portrait Photography Pricing

If you’re a professional photographer or someone considering getting into the photography business, it’s essential to grasp portrait photography pricing. Figuring out portrait photography pricing may appear complicated at first, yet with some knowledge of the business’ fundamental principles and procedures it will all start to become clear.

The number one thing to avoid when pricing your photography is spending more than you make. You need to price your images based on time spent behind the lens and editing them post-shoot as well as the market value of your work.

Crafting Impact with Negative Space Photography

Picture a scene where the main act is not just what fills the frame, but also what doesn’t. That’s negative space photography, a technique that turns emptiness into expression and silence into storytelling.

In this deep dive, we’re peeling back layers to reveal how much weight nothingness can hold in your shots.

You’ll grasp why every photographer needs to give their subjects some breathing room and learn how empty areas are not missed opportunities but rather essential for creating balance and drawing attention right where you want it.

We’ll explore ways to use plain backgrounds or blurred surroundings as powerful tools that add feelings of calm, tension, or intrigue—all by letting less say more.

The Essence of Negative Space in Photography

Negative space photography, often seen as the quiet hero of composition, plays a crucial role in how an image is perceived. It’s not just about what you capture—it’s also about what you leave out. This technique can make your main subject pop by simply giving it more breathing room.

Defining Negative Space and Its Role in Visual Composition

Negative space refers to the area surrounding the main subject—or positive space—of a photograph.
