Junk shops – Jan H. Andersen
http://www.jhandersen.com/206/junk-shops
It was during one of these clean-up sessions that I began to look at my archive with the same eyes as when I started using photo agencies. And what a shambles! Themed galleries with a wonderful mix containing all different styles from high-key studio shots to everyday pictures in natural-looking light mixed with concept art and montages. Horrible!

High-key photography – Jan H. Andersen
http://www.jhandersen.com/210/high-key-photography
That’s not really all. To avoid ugly shadows on the subject on the opposite side of the key light, we also have to control “the broad light” – the room light. In my case, this comes from a large umbrella softbox placed at the opposite end of the room. In the picture below, taken from the subject’s viewpoint, you see the umbrella soft box at the far end. Finally, let me conclude by showing the resultant picture from the above set-up:. And the subsequent conversion to black and white:.

Manic-depressive photographers – Jan H. Andersen
http://www.jhandersen.com/194/manic-depressive-photographers
Thankfully the phase passes. Every time. But only till next time. Over the years I have discovered that I am not the only one with these concerns, thank goodness. Mike Johnston puts it very succinctly. 8220;To be honest, must of my pictures suck. The saving grace of that admission is that most of your pictures suck, too. How could I possibly know such a thing? If this is creeping insanity, then at least we’re not alone 😉. But what is this phenomenon? Ah well I’m off to burn my camera!

Trust yourself – Jan H. Andersen
http://www.jhandersen.com/4/trust-yourself
More than two years have passed since I decided it was time that I did something serious about my passion for photography. I decided that I wanted to show my work for a wider audience, and that I would make an attempt to do commercial photography – stock photography. I invested a large amount of time and money in the right setup, in equipment, models, studio, workflow, paperwork and corporation. The combination of young people and my addiction to dramatic images resulted in many strange experiences in th...

It’s all lights and makeup – Jan H. Andersen
http://www.jhandersen.com/164/its-all-lights-and-makeup
It’s all lights and makeup. But let us take the picture below for example. Created to be fun, and generally a good example of a studio picture that could have been taken with virtually any camera. At 24mm, f8 and ISO 100, even the simplest mobile phone can keep up provided there is sufficient light. Evenly lit with a neutral background particularly dull for a portrait, but a classic setup for a stock photo. Let’s turn off 2 of the 3 lamps in use now:. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

Sharing photos with Zenfolio – Jan H. Andersen
http://www.jhandersen.com/974/zenfolio-automation
Sharing photos with Zenfolio. Even though being a software developer and having a company that started out with making content management software many years ago, I stopped trying to do everything by myself. I don’t want to think about how much time I’ve wasted on trying to make THE ONE piece of software that could handle all the tasks, that I need carried out. The one I will be talking about in this article is Zenfolio. At Zenfolio I found all that. A possibility to pick a theme and modify it slight...

Inspiration and brainstorming – Jan H. Andersen
http://www.jhandersen.com/203/inspiration-and-brainstorming
If I were to summarise the questions I get asked about my photography, “Where do you get your ideas from? 8221; would probably be top of the list. It’s also the most difficult one to answer. The easiest explanation would probably be to describe the way I work to achieve inspiration and sustain the resultant ideas. But where do these ideas come from? Important sources of inspiration. And at all times, one of my most important tools is always to hand: My notepad. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

Backup – locally and online – Jan H. Andersen
http://www.jhandersen.com/967/backup-locally-and-online
Backup – locally and online. With photos being a quite important part of my life – both personally as a hobby and financially as a profession – loosing my photos would be a disaster. I have always been very thorough with making backups of my files, but things have changed the last couple of years, making my life a little easier. For each attached harddrive I have an extra similar drive to which I make a backup once a month. I do this with the native Windows commandline tool Robocopy:. My backup drives ar...

ProShow Producer 6 – Jan H. Andersen
http://www.jhandersen.com/784/proshow-producer
Unfortunately my old version 4 of Photodex ProShow Producer stopped working with one of the latest updates of Windows 8. I couldn’t get it back working, and didn’t want to waste more time, so I decided to buy the upgrade to ProShow Producer version 6. While I was at it, I bought their 2 additional transition packs and a vintage style pack. I’ve been wanting to make a slideshow with photos of my son for a long time, so this time I thought: Bring it on! Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Moments from the Morgue.
