Simplify To Amplify; What You Don’t Show In The Frame Is As Important As What You Choose To Include
Jack Hollingsworth  |  Jun 01, 2005

I don't take pictures in order to have a topic for this column, but what often happens is that I'm looking over photos from a recent trip or assignment and the idea is right there in front of me. Which is what happened this time. I'd just returned from Japan and was looking at some of the photos...

Take Stock; Another Way To Think About Your Travel Pictures
Jack Hollingsworth  |  Feb 01, 2004

"How's it goin'?" a writer friend asked me recently. "Busy," I said. "That's great," he said. We talked some more, and what I ended up telling him was that one of the reasons things were going well and I was staying busy was that in addition...

The Business Side; The Importance Of A Model Release
Jack Hollingsworth  |  Aug 01, 2004

If travel photography were all about travel, I'd be a lot happier. For some of you, it probably is all about the experience of discovering new places, revisiting favorite ones, and creatively recording special moments and memories. But for me...

The Last Resort

I'm not going to tell you that resort photography isn't work--it is; but I'm not going to tell you that it's all work. I like to go early, stay later and bring the family. By going early I get...

The Last Word On Travel Portraits
Jack Hollingsworth  |  Apr 01, 2002

I hadn't planned on writing about travel portraiture; after all, we've discussed it directly or peripherally a few times before. I was leaning toward some how-to, application-type things--photography at resorts and on cruise ships, or maybe how to tackle...

The Real Stuff; Want To Know Why I’m Sick And Tired Of Talking About Equipment? Buckle Up And Read On
Jack Hollingsworth  |  Oct 01, 2005

You know what I was thinking about while I was making the photographs you see here? I was thinking about instincts and intuition, about empathy, diplomacy, and psychology. You know what I wasn't thinking about? The gear--the camera, the lens, the tripod.

Jack Hollingsworth  |  Oct 01, 2001

I plan to the hilt. As a pro traveling on assignment or for stock shooting, I have to, but the problem is I often feel I'm overloaded with itineraries and details. I've got my shot list, my research reports, my source notes. I...

Jack Hollingsworth  |  Apr 01, 2004

Personal Touch; Do People Skills Make Me A Better Photographer?
Jack Hollingsworth  |  Feb 01, 2007

A while back I had two big production shoots, one in India, the other in Shanghai. For both, the clients were with me all day, every day, and it was interesting that when they got around to comparing me to other stock and travel shooters they'd worked with--I'd asked them, of course, just to see how my operation stacked up to others'--they told me that...
