  Free Family Portrait Session, and Free 20×30 Print. Here’s how.

I am seeking a creative family for a portrait.  This will not be a typical portrait but an elaborate  scene that I have visioned.   This will be guaranteed wall print material. Heres what I need.

1.  A large family, 9-13 people

2. No children under 11 years old. 

3.  You must be willing to take direction and be posed.

4.  It may be cold, you will have to hang in there

.5.  It will be at a location of my choice.

6.  I don’t care who is included, aunts uncles, brothers, sisters.

7.  You all must be family.  

8.  Must have fun.

And always remember, just because you do not know what I’m doing does not mean I don’t.

 If you are interested please send me an email at Travis@theperfectpose dot com 

Only one family will be selected. 


  Huge Announcement Coming Soon!!!!

 

So I came up with an idea today.  It is kind of a secret right now.  I have emailed it to all of my past portrait clients.  An I will be announcing it within the next week or so.  It is a pretty big deal.  So keep checking back for more info.


  First official newsletter

Hi everyone, today I sent out our first official newsletter.  I sent it out to a little over 400 people.  So far 110 people opened the it, and 2 people reported it as spam. (they don’t know what they are missing)  I am going to send them out only once a month, so I am not trying to flood your inbox with useless garbage.  I work all month on trying to deliver useful information that you can use.  I am also going to offer special deals and highlighted weddings.  (one that you may have attended)  I may even mention you!  I am thinking about putting in a guys section.  Since I am a guy, I know allot about guy stuff.  I have a pretty big network of people I talk to and I am always hearing the latest and greatest.  So hopefully you will find my monthly newsletter helpful and informative! If you would like to be added to the list just send me an email.  travis@theperfectpose.com 

Thanks everyone!

Before you know it you will be using your camera like a pro!

  Lightroom 2.0 Review

 

I have been using Lightroom 2.0 beta for some time now. I have just downloaded the full version and all I can say is wow. Adobe has out done themselves this time.

Some features I like the most.

  1. Much faster importing photos
  2. Much faster exporting photos
  3. Selective exposure control
  4. 64 bit support
  5. Much better sharpening support

Features I like the least

  1. Still no keyboard shortcuts

Overall this is a great program. Adobe may have shot themselves in the foot with this one though. I see no real need to use photoshop, except for very advanced editing operations.


  Studio Shots

Here are a couple studio shots. What do you think?

  Shoot with Beckstead Workshop Photos

It’s kind of nice when you learn from one of the top 10 wedding photographers in the world.  On Thursday, thats just what I did.  Actually we spent about 4 days haning out.  Although two of the days were filled with intense training.  I learned so much about composition, and using every part of the frame to tell a story.  We also had two lovely models Meg, and Shannon.  Shannon is a former wedding client of mine, and she is just totally awesome.   Meg is a professional model/actor.  She tours the country with a perfoming comedy group called The Tartan Terrors.  Please take a minute to check out her website.  If you are a photographer and would like to learn more about the Shoot With Beckstead Workshop, please check it out at shootwithbeckstead.com  The first three images are of Meg, the last two are Shannon.
