Opinions, advice and commentary about Photography, Modeling and Acting.
A variety of photos in your portfolio not only showcases your diverse look, but can say something about your personality. Consider the variety of looks from each of these models and how an expression on the face or change of posture tells a unique story.
You’ve read it here before. Do you have a celebrity double? Celebrity lookalikes are popular at conventions, expositions and conferences and can often turn a mall into a crazy crowd of rubberneckers. (That’s how it was for me as an innocent bystander when Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes walked by me in L.A., but that’s another story…) What I want is your opinion: Which celebrity does the model below resemble most?

There’s a growing trend of photo manipulation. It’s relatively easy to change reality by adjusting the image through Adobe Photoshop, Apple Aperture or other photo editing software. It can make people look completely unrealistic or just make minor improvements. I’m not a huge fan of changing people so much that you wouldn’t recognize the same person if they stood in front of you. However, to remove blemishes, fix lighting and even changing colors is fascinating to me. I’ve included two images that were shot indoor, in color, with a color light filter, converted to black and white and then the outfit was brought back in color. I think they came out better than the original shot. Tell me what you think.
Halloween is a perfect excuse to dress up as your favorite character, alter-ego or simply invent some wacky costume. I once dressed up as a mummy using a few rolls of toilet paper. It actually was quite warm and not quite as drafty as the panty hose, bra and skirt I wore when I dressed as a cheerleader (but that’s another story). Anyway, I have to say it’s one of the best times of year for fun photography because everyone appears much more animated when they get to pretend to be someone else. They relax and enjoy themselves. With that in mind, I thought I’d show a little blast from the past with some archived footage from a video podcast I directed about three years ago about speaking pirate language. It seems fitting for Halloween.
