I have a shoot next week. The client and I are collaborating on a TFP basis. We got together today to gloss over magazine clippings for ideas. I am envisioning something along the lines of two of my favourite photographers whose work have a huge influence on me. Erik Asla and Wolfgangludes. Of course I will be using natural light as I don’t have the luxury of their lighting setups.

And some books that I am currently reading in regards to photography: “The Hasselblad Manual” by Ernst Wildi. Hasselblads are medium format cameras that now come with digital backs and are used mainly by commercial photographers with big budgets, or anyone that can afford one. I saw them for the first time on ANTM. The other book is “Starting Your Career As A Freelance Photographer.” The author is Tad Crawford but each chapter is written by a different person, or an expert on such topics in regards to getting started, building and protecting your business, marketing your photography, negotiating contracts and prices, and the law. Makes for an informative read.
