How I Photograph Women
Using The Least Amount Of Equipment
by Joe Farace

It may come as a surprise to some of you but I didn’t start out to be a people photographer. When Mary and I opened our studio in 1982, we divided the workload based on the type of images that clients wanted. It turned out to be a simple division of labor: she photographed people and I photographed things, mostly architecture and some products. Every now and then because of scheduling and availability I would shoot a few business portraits, but people were really Mary’s game. When she took an extended sabbatical from the studio’s day-to-day operations, things changed, and after looking at some of the new glamour photography appearing on the Internet I got interested in photographing people, especially women. I had to start from scratch after selling all the lighting equipment because “I was never going to photograph people.” That was when I learned to never, say “never.”

Natural Light Reflectors
“Found” Light For Outdoor Portraiture
by Steve Bedell

Photographers love equipment. They’ll attend any seminar and buy any piece of equipment they can in the hopes that it will elevate their work to a higher plane. Now that’s all well and good, but before you start buying all that lighting gear I suggest that you first develop the most important piece of equipment that you have—your eye!

Most of my outdoor portraiture is done using just daylight. No reflectors, no flash. My style is very natural looking portraits that make my subject look good. In order to produce this kind of work, I’ve had to learn how to become very adept at “seeing the light.”

Can Photography Save the World?
by Ron Leach, Publisher

Ten years ago PBS debuted a moving documentary entitled “American Photography: A Century of Images.” The program traced photography’s profound influence upon life in America, and I recall being particularly struck by the camera’s potential for social change.
