1). Stop Stealing my Copyrights
Have you ever been stolen from? Do you know how it feels? You work hard to achieve, to acquire, or to create and then some undeserving fool steps in and takes it all away from you. You feel violated! Your efforts were in vain. Something meaningful that was rightfully yours is snatched away. As a young man, I developed a real love for music. I grew up in it, with Mom on the piano, my uncle on the guitar, and my aunt and sisters singing.
2). People Skills for Portrait Photography
Taking great portraits is as much about people skills as it is about technical ability, or using the latest and greatest photographic equipment. Sure, refining your technical skills and knowledge may expand the extent of your capabilities, and using superior equipment may indeed boost your edge. But, unless you can first see through your subject's eyes, and understand her as a unique individual, and then build rapport with her so you can unveil and accentuate her finest qualities, your portraits will remain mediocre at best.
3). Great Portraits in the Great Outdoors
If you have ever photographed your weekend outing, family reunion, or a special vacation getaway with your friends or family, you know that outdoor photography can present some very special challenges. This is true even for the most seasoned photographer. Direct sunlight can be harsh. Unwanted objects can interfere with your composition. Proper color rendering can be problematic.
