One on One Classes with Rich Charpentier

Wednesday, October 17, 2012

Over the past two weeks I’ve found myself doing a few individualized classes for photographers.  I do a group Lightroom4 class a few times a year over at the Art Store, but they don’t always fit everyone’s schedules.  So in addition to those classes I also offer a “one on one” experience for folks interested [...]

Finally a gear guide from Scott Kelby that doesn’t inspire me to bankrupt myself

Thursday, December 1, 2011

I’ve said it for years.  Read a Kelby book and you’re going to want to bankrupt yourself.  I warn clients all the time.  “These books are great, but you’re going to want to spend more money then you thought possible on your photography hobby.  It’s happened to me………” Scott Kelby, the Kelby Media Group, NAPP, [...]

“It looks photoshopped…..”

Sunday, November 27, 2011

So, how do you get that kind of reaction? In my case, off camera lighting. 1 Alien Bee, one Lastolite soft box, Radio Poppers, a [...]

A talk on “stylized” images tonight

Tuesday, September 27, 2011

Over the past few years I’ve done presentations for local camera clubs.  Tonight, one more! Now normally I’ve done very specific topics.  Introduction to HDR, Using Lightroom in your Digital Workflow, and other such stuff.  Tonight I’m going a little non-specific.  This time around we’re going to talk about the giant mish-mash that is creating [...]

A background found a model

Friday, June 17, 2011

That’s how it works.  One image seeks out another image.  About time too.  I was getting a little punchy over the idea that I would match folks with places…… Only a few blog posts ago I popped up several backgrounds that I’d created.  The issue?  Finding folks to pop into the scene (yeah, the whole [...]

Scott Kelby’s Photo Recipes Live2 App

Monday, May 30, 2011

The other day I popped over to Scott Kelby’s website to check out his latest updates.  To be honest I’ve been remiss in my daily blog reading.  The routine seems to have changed to “get into the office and start running canvas.”  No complaints, busy is good and it means bills can be paid. But [...]
