Greenfield Sanders’s Ideal of the Perfect Portrait

Saturday, September 27th, 2008

Greenfield Sanders shows us his definition & how he takes the perfect portraits of his clients in his studio. His studio is fairly large with all sorts of professional photography equipment like the large background stand & etc. In the YouTube video he also explains why to some extent that his photography seems pretty much like taking the same photos over & over again.

From my understanding of his explanation, Greenfield Sanders his ideal of the perfect portrait has a limited scope. Then again, it is probably that his clients want no more than the classic portrait style of photos. Greenfield Sanders is an accomplished portrait photographer with clients of the rich & famous like Ben Stiller, Muhammad Ali, political figures, & etc; much like how the portrait painters of the previous centuries.

DSLR Camera: An All in One Multi Media Gadget

Thursday, September 25th, 2008

Nowadays you can see many DSLR cameras having features that were not possible in the past. One such feature is the HD video capability namely from Nikon. So the question is what can you expect from future DSLR cameras? Will they incorporate more features that can be found on HD video cameras & possibly cell phones & even laptops too? The image below expresses the notion of the DSLR camera being an all in one multimedia gadget.

A future DSLR camera would have multiple hard disk drives, a touch screen interface, cell phone, speakers, radio, mp3, a mouse connection & even a handicapped person feature! (Who the heck knows how to use the handicap feature?) Lol. You can expect the camera manual to be a few inches thick! It seems a bit on the exaggerating end of things but we did not think that it was possible for DSLR cameras to have HD video capability a few years ago. Blu-ray DVD burner in a DLSR camera; what a joke!

In fact studio lighting equipment nowadays is so versatile that you can leave them in the car, unpack & reinstall them at the photo shoot location. Although fixing up the soft boxes is a pain in the arms so you may want to leave them open after the first installation.
