  4. Thanks for the artists names. I will check them out.
  5. Michael thanks for the input. I kind felt a little crazy for posting. Seems like all the newer photographers are relying on bokeh very heavily. You have any artist that you want to try to emulate? Myself I shot wildlife for a few years an that shooting wide open is pretty much standard plus with super zooms the background gets compressed an blurred. Looking to get some variety Jay
  6. Hey guys I am looking for any iPhone/bridge camera photographers that are considered very impressive? I have heard rumors of some professionals using their iPhone as camera of choice?? Just rumors ? Anyway I always find great photos taken with less advance gear an inspiration to me an refocuses me to create better images with what I have. Any suggestions on photographers would be great.
  7. This is hard for me to explain so please hang in there. I currently pushing myself not to overuse DOF / Bokeh in my photography. I see a lot of shooters using great fast glass at 1.4, 1.8 to get that creamy Bokeh in order to separate themselves apart from the typical iPhone user. Maybe it is just me but I see many wedding and portrait photographers using these techniques to almost an extreme level without much creativity. Is this due to the huge influx of iPhone shooters and cheap dslr owner, I do not know ? Maybe the client wants that ?? So for my purpose I am trying to simplify my gear (think Bridge Cameras) and get away from expensive gear and go low tech high concept if that makes any sense ? So are there any famous photographers that really tried to stay away from DOF, Bokeh or better know as that blurry background ? I have a few techniques such as using front lights and a darken backgrounds, or getting the subject against walls as to not be a distracting backdrop. I feel like some of the old masters of photography probably had a slew of methods. The last 10 years of photography seems like a rapid arms race to get the latest camera bodies and fastest glass. Adjust wide open an let it rip. Thanks Jay
  8. I would agree your backdrop is probably too hot. I also noticed on the left of the couple you are getting a duller white. So it almost looks like your power is not even on your lighting setup. Some light systems are not consistent do have variations especially at the high end power thus trying to blow out the background. So do you have a wall to the right side of the couple that the light is bouncing back into them. I know smaller studios walls act like fill reflectors. I have seen this in some of my photos as well.. I try to turn down the lights some, get the subject away from the backdrop as well. The further the subject the better but that also means you will need a larger backdrop an more lighting if that makes sense. You probably already answered much of this but figure I would ask a few if you happen to overlook any of that. You can always test your lamps to make sure they are consistent putting out what they should I sometimes take a few shots on just a blank white wall. I have noticed sometimes the brightness varies some because have cheap lights.
