Face to Face Tech Info & Location

Hi All - I tried to pack so many photographs and so many practical tips (as well as my favorite photo philosophies) into my latest book, Face to Face, that we ran out of pages for the tech info for each photo - as well as the location. The good news is that you can get this info easily. Click Here to download a PDF.

In addition to including my favorite photographs in Face to Face, I included a few before/after (and good bad) examples. I figure that seeing how a photograph can be easily be improved with a reflector, diffuser, fill-flash, prop, etc. is an effective way of teaching. The picture in this blog post is an example. After opening the image in Apple's Aperture and cropping it, I used the Dodge & Burn tool (Image > Edit With > Dodge & Burn) to selectively darken, sharpen and saturate parts of the image, which I took in Venice, Italy during Carnival earlier this year.

For more about how I use Aperture, check out the article I did for Double Exposure.

Speaking of Venice, I included 22 pictures, taken during the workshop I was doing, in my book. If you plan to go to Carnival, make your air and hotel reservations early. Flights and rooms book up fast. Maybe I'll see you there next year! I have a few folks interested in a a workshop. Stay tuned for my workshops on the Where's Rick? page of my Web site.

Catch you later!
