Shadows to Enjoy and Balance. Sit a While

ByGary Culley 2014-06-042021-10-12

I’m in love with the light and shadows. So, is it the subject we shoot or is it the way the light and shadows interact with our subject. I have photographed benches before; numerous examples as my personal work and a few in commercial catalog situations. Maybe it’s the way the image has personality by…

Door Deluxe – TEKeez On The Road

ByGary Culley 2014-06-032020-03-26

Near Lagrange, Tennessee.  Door Deluxe #1111. The old car is a Deluxe from Chevrolet, probably from just after WWII.  As I walked toward the discarded relic I was a bit concerned about the nearby homes but no one seemed to mind.  Good people.  I was planning to photograph large areas of the car or the…

Umbrella Lighting on One Side

ByGary Culley 2013-09-112019-01-19

You gotta try it.  Both umbrellas on the same side.  As a lighting accessory the umbrella is small and easy to pack and when open it’s a large soft source.  When on the property of a client it is a concern to not damage property and softboxes can be dangerous if you have to move…

Photography, for the most part, was easy for me. BUT, there were and continue to be exceptions. HDR was simple except for a few small techniques. This became "Lost Lessons of HDR". Metering was something I grew up with, it seems so simple. Then I realized and started teaching the different metering modes as a way to learn the different situations that call for specifics of metering. This became the "Don't Shoot Manual". Wedding Photography seemed so basic in the day's workflow and it just grew as I did more and more weddings. The shot list was never a part of my shoot days because it was all so well organized. That organizing became the article "Wedding Photography Shot List in PDF, Excel & Numbers and the accompanying package of spreadsheets of the dynamic shot list.
