Q: Do you use digital or film?

A: As of the last couple of years, I shoot most of my sessions digitally. The camera I use creates both a jpg and a RAW file at the time the photo is taken. The jpg image gives an immediate pictorial view of the photograph. I give my subjects a CD of the shoot with all of the jpg images. They then select from those the images they want me to work on to make finished images.

I work on the RAW file to make the finished image. RAW files require special software and technical expertise to process. The jpg images I provide of the shoot are usually about 2 MB, but can be 6MB if desired. The RAW file images are typically about 20MB.

The finished images include retouching and other related graphics work/adjustments. I do not limit the number of pictures that are taken to complete shot. You can look at the shots at the time of the shoot and verify that you have taken. If you don't see what you are looking for, we make adjustments and shoot until you see what you are looking for.

If a situation dictated, I still have the ability to shoot on film in medium format with a Hasselblad. This would only be required if the picture is being taken for an art gallery or to make vary large prints, 60 inches or greater.

Q: What is the process of getting reproductions?

A: The process is that the subject and someone else like an agent choose the images to use. We then talk about whether I'll make corrections or adjustments to the images and then from there, I produce the master and probably a CD for a professional printer. I don't make large quantities of reproductions because it's less expensive for people to get copies from a professional printer. I recommend Reproductions in New York. Their work looks as good as, if not better than, the original. It may cost a little more, but they're the best of the options that I'm aware of.

Other printing processes, such as lithographs, are significantly inferior in quality. Printers in New York specialize in actors, their rates are for actors. They know what actors headshots are supposed to look like.

I do not restrict people from making prints from the jpg images I give them as proofs. The images I produce from the RAW files and the graphics/retouching I do make it much more likely that they will want me to produce the finished images.

Choosing the Correct Lens for Nude Photography

Some photographers like to have a huge range of lenses covering every focal length imaginable from extreme wide angle to long telephoto. In practice though, this is more often a sign of gadget mania rather than real necessity and most will find that working with just a few excellent quality lenses is a far better strategy.

When photographing a nude model, most photographers will aim to produce an image that is aesthetically pleasing without distortion or unflattering effects. With a distant scene such as a nude figure in the landscape it is perfectly possible to use a wide angle lens, but as you move closer that same lens is likely to cause unwanted distortion and this is particularly prevalent with cheaper lenses. When working in the studio using a full frame 35mm camera, I tend to shoot with lenses no wider than 35mm at most and even that is not ideal most of the time.

Perhaps surprisingly to some, one of the best lenses available for photographing a nude body is the often discarded standard 50mm lens, which is generally the cheapest option in every camera maker's lens range, but invariably of excellent optical quality, suffering from almost zero distortion or chromatic aberrations.

When photographed in relative proximity the female nude will often appear slightly more curvaceous than in reality with a 50mm lens but not in an ugly or exaggerated fashion and the same rule would apply equally to glamour photography. This is roughly equivalent to the 80mm lens on the medium format Hasselblad, which is my first choice when photographing nudes, since I tend to prefer to the less elongated proportions of medium format.

Another alternative lens would be the 85mm, though often considered more as a portrait lens all the main camera makers such as Canon and Nikon etc. produce an optically excellent version and this can be used in just about any situation to good effect. Much like the 50mm lens it also generally has a fast maximum aperture allowing the photographer to easily blur the background if desired.

One alternative option that should not be overlooked is a good quality zoom lens, such as the Canon 24-105L for example, which covers all the necessary focal lengths for most requirements while removing the necessity to change lens every 30 seconds during a shoot. There was a time when zoom lenses were not really an option for high quality professional usage but nowadays the better lenses are very good indeed and extremely convenient. Lenses with built in image stabilisation are also useful for hand held photography in low light conditions. To find out more visit http://www.nudephotopro.com/

I just bought Canon 60D. However, after I tried it, the photos isn't HDR or looked cheap. Is it the camera?

I'm a bit dissapointed with my new 60D because when I took photos of landscape, it doesn't look like a Hasselblad or Phase one P65 photos, but looks like a photo that most camera can take. I doesn't have HDR.

I wanted the photo to look like, it's hard to explain. But have you seen background images on Windows 7? That's what I wanted it to look like.

Anyway, What do you think of 60D?

FFS, if you bought a £100 point and shoot would you moan that the images were not as "clear" as a £5000 dslr?

Two reasons the images are not as good as those you see from a 'blad or phase one.
1. the overall quality of the camera and glass and size of the sensors
2. YOU. If you cannot get excellent results from the 60D then YOU need to improve your skills.
