Assignment Photography

Assignment Photography

Assignment Photography is best described as working as a photographer for a client.  You are hired by someone to cover a photo shoot.  You essentially are working for someone else.  This may include advertising products, portraits, weddings, shooting school functions and other images shot on assignment.  Most photographers I know spend their entire career shooting on assignments.  A lot of people choose to do this because it provides a lower financial risk for them. You know that you will get paid, either before the event or after the contract has been completed and your employer is satisfied with your work.  It is a guaranteed paycheck that puts all the financial responsibilities on your Employer.

Getting perfect Head Shots

 

The face is the focus of most photos.  Being able to take a great head shot is essential. When you are taking a head shot or taking upper body portraits  of people,  one simple posing tip that I’ve picked up over the years is to angle the  shoulders of your subject rather than to have them even or squared in your shot. While the shoulders might not seem like an important aspect of a portrait they can actually set the tone for an image as they are the widest part of your subject. They are visually what the main point of focus for your image (the head) is sitting upon.   Generally speaking, by angling the shoulders slightly, it will give your shot balance and will help lead your viewer’s eye into the shot towards your main focal point. It will also keep your subject  from appearing out of proportion as it decreases the width of the shoulders slightly.

Don't make the kids say "Cheese"

O.k. we have all been told at one time or another to say "Cheese" right before a picture is to taken I think that the dreaded "cheese" word is responsible for most if not all of static and drab family portraits out there in the world today. Go ahead and say"cheese" and take note of the shape your mouth makes.  That is not a smile!  Plus, when you say cheese, its as if you are warning everyone that you are about to take their picture. What does everyone do?

Using Digital Back Drops

 

Welcome to the 20th Century. If you choose not to do things the traditional

way, another option for enhancing your images is the modern introduction

of  digital backdrops. You can purchase these individually or by theme. You

can also download the digital files or request to have them mailed to you

on CD-ROM.  Of course  You will need Special editing  to properly convert

your image to a new background. With a little practice, you will soon have

access to a whole new world of creativity.  In this day and time, I think

it's beneficial to  be computer savvy and learn to use our photography in

conjunction with computers.
