Flash Dedicado – Técnicas para fotografia de casamento e retrato
Estou muito feliz em anunciar que meu livro sobre técnicas de fotografia de flash flashes da câmera foi traduzido para Português e foi publicado no Brasil.
O livro é baseado nos artigos publicados neste site, mas o material foi clarificado, para uma abordagem coerente e completo para pegar o melhor de seu flash na câmera. Houve um cuidado especial para apresentar tudo isso com um fluxo lógico, com a intenção de que tudo vai progressivamente ajudar o leitor a alcançar uma melhor compreensão da fotografia com flash.
O livro pode ser encomendado a partir deste site.
Para todos os leitores Português do meu site, peço desculpas se a tradução do Google é involuntariamente engraçado.
Neil

I presented the first of two lectures on flash photography, at the Event Space at B&H on this past Wednesday, on August 11 … and, wow!
As I mentioned in my announcement post here – this is all very exciting to me. Some of the biggest names in the photography world have presented talks and seminars at B&H. So for me, this was quite A Big Deal to present a lecture there.
Just as exciting was to see that the place was jam-packed. The venue has 65 seats, but in the end I think there were about 75 people inside, with some sitting on the floor in front of me, and some lining the door .. and some 20+ people outside seeing if there were some way of still finding a spot …

In the spirit of the resource pages on off-camera flash photography, I wanted to do the same for all the blog posts on wedding photography. I pulled together the more important articles, and this resource page on wedding photography is now accessible from the menu on the left-hand side. (About 12 links down from where it says ‘Articles’.) In this way it will be a permanently anchored reference that I will keep updated as I add new posts to the Tangents blog.

To keep the sprawl of articles on the topic of off-camera flash together that exists on this site, I’ve created an additional page to the main flash photography pages, Simply titled, off-camera flash, it lists all the relevant articles. A snippet from the actual article will help it from being more easy for the eye to scan and find something relevant and of interest. I will keep adding future articles posted to the blog, and keep it as a handy resource.

flash photography workshop in New York
Aleona was one of our striking models at the recent 2-day flash photography workshop held in Jersey City and Manhattan. The setting here was in the DUMBO area of Brooklyn, with Manhattan in the background. The challenge was to overcome the hard sunlight with a small speedlight … and still make it look good.
The flash photography workshops have undergone certain changes over time – the material and sequence of material are always honed over time. The biggest recent change is that the workshop has expanded with an optional 2nd day where we play around further with on-location lighting. The first day is still the intensive workshop – the combination of seminar and practical sessions where we cover everything thoroughly. The first day takes place in a hotel in Jersey City with a magnificent view of Manhattan. (It is right next to the Path station, so it is easily accessible for anyone coming from Manhattan or Brooklyn.)
The second day is where we have fun, and walk around with two models, and try different backgrounds and lighting scenarios. So that’s the workshop now … 2 days, with the first day an intensive 10 hour workshop, with two models. The next day is the application of that, and we roam around the Meat-Packing District in Manhattan with two different models.
Thank you to everyone who attended and made it a success. And a big thank you to our four models; my friend Richard and my assistant-with-an-attitude, Jessica, who helped on the day. For anyone who might be interested, the next workshop series is coming up in July.
As an aside: the two recent posts on combining video light and ambient light and photographic composition in editing, both featured images from this workshop …

camera and lens reviews
An update to the site: There is now a page where all the camera and lens reviews and equipment related posts will be linked from. An easy-to-find jump page. You can also find the link in the right-hand side blue column. More reviews to come!
And yes, that is the brand-new Canon 70-200mm f2.8 IS II there on the left hand side!
I’ll have a review up soon.

I felt quite flattered when Kerry Garrison asked me to do an interview for his cameradojo podcast. Especially so since I was following in the footsteps of Scott Robert Lim, David Ziser and Syl Arena. My interview - taking your flash to the next level – is the conclusion in the cameradojo series dealing with flash photography and lighting.
You can listen to the interview on the web, or on iTunes.
And if anyone has questions .. you know how to find me. :)
