Photography on radio!

You can listen to interviews with photographers on Inside Digital Photo.

A website a day, keeps the doctors away!

When I was in a poetry class in college, my instructor told us that to be able to write well, you need to read A LOT!

Stephen King, who is probably the most prolific and published writer in the whole world, reads every single day.  He probably reads a book a day or a book every 2 days.  Whenever he gets on his car, he pops an audio recording of a book so even when he can’t read, he can listen to a book.

It’s the same with photography, you need to look at a LOT of photography to get better.

I try to look at photography websites everyday so that I can absorb different techniques and open my mind to new ideas.

Here is a good website with explanations of why he likes each photo.

Here are some great tutorials about wedding photography.  They are done by Becker and it’s in video which I don’t usually like because I can read way faster than a video plays but he has some really good tips for beginners and intermediate photographers as well about workflow and marketing and networking and almost everything about wedding photography.  Best of all, it’s free!

I’ve just also recently discovered Actions in Photoshop.  A lot of wedding photographers use Kubota Actions by Kevin Kubota as well as Totally Rad Actions by the Boutwells to make their photos POP!  Here is Becker’s post about actions.
