Vanity Fair
Today we are seeing less and less PJ style photography embraced by traditional news sources
Instead we find it in places like Vanity Fair
Yes Vanity Fair is providing News as well as Glitz,
stories photographed as well as written

Flower Blanket Props for photographers by Zprops

Back by popular demand my wife is again making and selling Flower blankets and baby poser covers
These products have helped us many times with new born and toddler portraits versus the same old backgrounds often used
click here to go to her website

Coming Soon Flower Power........

Soon we will (or rather my wife will) be offering Flower style backgrounds custom made for photographers
I have been using these for years, to make great one of a kind style portrait for toddlers and babies
While we are still building this store and the payments buttons etc are not yet live you can get a sneak peek here......(Click here)

Why f/2.8?

Why f/2.8?: "I got asked an interesting question recently. It's a general rule of thumb that most landscape shots are made with the lens stopped way down to maximize depth of field. Given this, why would you need a lens with an f/2.8 aperture?...."

The most important part of this for us portrait shooters is in the fifth paragraph, focusing !!!

Gauzie and Blurr backgrounds a faster way

A loose lasso around the subject(s)
Inverse it
