Tidbit Tuesday: When to Say No
NayMarie September 6, 2011
No point in beating around the bush, as creatives we must know when to say “no” to our clients. Some people, even those who’ve hired you for years, will try to push the bounds of your working relationship so that they benefit from the exchange as much as possible. We

Tidbit Tuesday: Stop Abusing Photoshop!
NayMarie August 23, 2011
As of late, Photoshop has received more and more heckling due to improper use of its awesomeness. The Dodge, Burn, Clone Stamp, and Blur tools have been overly and incorrectly used by amateurs and hobbyists giving the software and, slowly but surely, the industry a bad rap. I’m not blind

Tidbit Tuesday: How Often Do You Archive?
NayMarie August 16, 2011
I was participating in an awesome facebook group when the question was asked, how often do we archive our work? It reminded me of the desktop I was using — may it R.I.P. — and how I almost lost ALL of my work when it crashed…the first time. Luckily back

Tidbit Tuesday: A Note to the Photographer – “Let’s Value Our Craft”
NayMarie August 2, 2011
As photographers, and creatives in general, we must remember that we have been granted a gift. For photographers, this gift is commonly referred to as “the eye.” Not everyone has this gift which is why consumers pay you, the photographer, to supply them with timeless memories and gorgeous images. When

Tidbit Tuesday: Poses
NayMarie July 26, 2011
Overtime I’ve skimmed through tons of posing material as well as tested impromptu poses throughout my shoots. In this time I’ve gained a keen eye for poses I like and poses I don’t like. I’m typically most attracted to the heavily awkward and outrageous high fashion positions since my work

Tidbit Tuesday: Is it Immoral for Retouchers to Post “Before” Images?
NayMarie July 19, 2011
I was giving my two cents in a forum for retouchers showcasing their work who were looking for feedback when I saw that someone created a thread questioning the morality of retouchers who post the before images (the original image as shot by the photographer without any revisions) of their

Tidbit Tuesday: Photographing People in Public Without Consent is Allowed if…
NayMarie July 12, 2011
I’ll never forget the day I was at a public festival photographing my good friend and jewelry designer interacting with a new client. After a few snaps, a random patron starts yelling behind my business partner and me, “You can’t photograph her face! You have to pay her to photograph

Tidbit Tuesday: Shoot Smarter, Not Longer
NayMarie July 5, 2011
In my experience as a photographer I have yet to understand why 10 hour photoshoots for 1 person with no more than 3 looks exist… I remember reading an article a few months ago about photographers taking a million shots in hopes to get that one good one instead of

Tidbit Tuesday: Is it Cool for Your Boss to Have You Work a Full Day for a Half Day’s Pay?
NayMarie June 14, 2011
No? Than why would you bargain with the creative expert you are hiring to complete your project for you? You’re essentially asking for them to do the same thing. Some people may feel that photographers, retouchers, graphic designers, web developers, dancers, make up artists, art directors, inventors, etc and etc

Tidbit Tuesday: Skin Pores Are Beautiful!
NayMarie June 7, 2011
I cannot fathom how many times I’ve surfed through beauty and fashion photos only to find mannequins and dolls where humans should be. It’s one thing to purposefully develop an artistic photo which utilizes a human subject to create a mannequin or a doll or a cyborg, it’s another to

Tidbit Tuesday: Removing A Watermark is Illegal
NayMarie May 31, 2011
Every photographer is protective of their work and most take the extra step to watermark their images due to the wide spread, rapid use of the internet. A digital watermark is a logo or text signature that is placed over an image to clearly state the owner of the image

Tidbit Tuesday: Compiling a Portfolio
NayMarie May 24, 2011
I’m constantly browsing photography magazines, sites, and blogs to learn new techniques as well as receive a refresher for things I may have forgotten. During a recent trip to Barnes & Noble, I flipped through the latest issue of Turning Pro. I found myself wrapped in the article “Are you

Shoe Therapy I: The Higher, The Better
NayMarie April 1, 2011
I’m totally in love with my shoes, the higher the heel the better! In the midst of a self-portrait shoot, an idea popped into my head – “Why not photograph my shoes?!” After 30 minutes of prancing in the mirror (I couldn’t help myself) and some mild post-work, Shoe Therapy
