Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, Allison didn't end up winning the trip to Italy. :( When voting closed at 5pm she was a couple hundred votes behind, BUT within the next couple hours she jumped to being just under 300 votes AHEAD. Too bad they stopped counting votes at 5pm. Alas. Anyway, I hope you enjoy her AWESOME video and consider hiring her awesomeness next time you're in need of a photographer.

I don't care who you are, you've got to check out photographer John Chiara (Jon you and Leo will dig this to the max). There are two YouTube videos highlighting his workflow posted over at Digital Photography School today. They're a little long, but totally worth it. Check them out HERE. He takes only an image a day, and it is absolutely remarkable to see what goes in to the process. Talk about passion and connection to your work!

I don't care what you do or who you are. . . if we all were as connected, committed to and CONSCIOUS OF our passions as Mr. Chiara, I think we'd live much more connected and fulfilled lives.

What's in YOUR Bag Naomi Masina?

I could not be more excited to introduce you to Naomi Masina. . . well, technically she's been on the blog before right HERE. But today I get to actually SHARE her with you, and just be forewarned, you are going to fall in love with Omi in EVERY WAY.


Enjoy our fun and heartfelt interview below (is it just me or do these interviews just keep getting BETTER AND BETTER??!!).

Me: What's your primary camera body?
Noami: Canon 5d.

Me: What do you use for back-up?
Naomi: An Olympus E-500. I loved the way the Olympus handled, but it holds such a small market share that Nikon and Canon accessories are so much cheaper and readily available, I knew I was going to make the switch when I upgraded. I debated trying out a Nikon before I got the 5D, but I'm very happy with my Canon. The second I picked it up, it felt so second nature, I haven't put it down.


Me: Which lenses do you have and what do you use each for?
Naomi: I decided to purchase the 50mm f1.2 a few months ago. There has been so much buzz about it that I worried I was buying the hype, but I couldn't be happier. Before I bought the 50mm, I was using a zukio 40-150mm f3.5-4.5 for my Olympus and a standard 14-45mm f3.5-5.6 that came with my Olympus. I found that I was favoring the 14-45mm, for studio and portraits because I like to shoot tight, and wide open, but I wasn't getting the fall out that I wanted, and quite honestly the lens wasn't good. The 40-150 is a good lens for catching relaxed candid moments, because you don't have to be all up in there biz, like you do with a prime lens. It's nice to have a telephoto lens when you don't want to be to intrusive. I'd really like the 70-200mm f2.8 for my Canon, it's on my wish list.

Me: Which is your favorite?
Naomi: The 50mm by a landslide. I use it for everything. It's good for details, portraits, low light. I like the versatility, and the *bokeh is perfection.

*Bokeh: That gorgeous quality of the out of focus areas of an image, produced by the lens.

Me: You do some studio lighting. Which lights do you use?
Naomi: I do. I started to learn studio lighting because the weather in Utah is so severe in the winter and I missed shooting. There is a different kind of freedom in a controlled lighting situation, that I really enjoy. I have two strobes, two umbrellas, and two soft boxes, one standard, and the other octagonal.


Me: What's your primary lighting set up for studio work?
Naomi: Simple! I tried a lot of things, but my favorite is: One octagonal soft box, to my left. That's it. I get the soft box as close as I can to my subject with out it getting in the shot. I set my camera to 500 f5..6 and adjust my lighting from there. I prefer the octagonal to the square, because the catch light in the eye is round. I just like the way that looks especially with children, but any shape works with this set up.



Me: Your processing is out of this world. Do you do it all manually or do you have preset actions that you've either created or purchased?
Naomi: Thank you. I do a little of both, but I am moving more and more to preset actions. At the end of the day it comes down to efficiency and actions save you time, bottom line. I think it's good to know how the actions work, because you have more control over the final out come, and you can create a style that is more "YOU" than say, The Boutwell's, but it's not necessary. I've used a lot of different sets, but hands down I prefer The Boutwell's Totally Rad Actions set. They just came out with a new group called The Revenge that I just purchased. My favorite actions are first, yin and yang (TRA1) it allows you to lighten and darken selectively, allowing you to draw the eye to where you want it to go.

Me: Yin and Yang: hands down best action ever. So helpful!!
Naomi: Fresh and Colorful (pioneer women) this is a contrast and saturation boost action, that is adjustable.....and free. YAY! Last would be Magic sharp (Kevin Kubota). You run this after you edit and re-size. I don't do any in camera sharpening because I know I have better control with Magic sharp.


Me: How did you get so advanced at Photoshop? What resources would you recommend to other photographers who are trying to learn the program?
Naomi: A lot of my over photoshopped images make me gag now. (lol) Seriously. When I realized what photoshop was able to do, I sort of went crazy with it. I liked the creative freedom it gave me to stylized to fix "almost good" pictures. The goal is go get good images straight out of the camera, but when you're not so good in the beginning, it's fun to get a little ego boost photoshop. You just have to not to make it a crutch. Keep learning your craft and make it your goal to do you best on the front line, and then have fun on the back end. An excellent resource for photographers trying to learn photoshop is SCOTT KELBY. He's a total guru, and a very funny and open teacher. The is a program called PHOTOSHOP TV. You can down load them as podcasts, or look them up on the internet. I believe they are free....or at least they were.

Me: What's been the number one resource in helping you get to where you are as a photographer?
Naomi: I have two I'd like to mention...oh..wait three. Good friends, like you Nat. You are such an inspiration for me. I used to wonder how I could make this happen: run a business, pursue this passion, and truly be the mother that I wanted to be and you blazed that trail for me. How many times have I called you for help and you have always been there. It's so important to have a network of people you can look to for help, and motivation.
Me: I'm all choked up. Seriously. That's my ultimate goal in life. . . to give people the courage to define and follow their passions while being committed FIRST AND FOREMOST to what matters most in their lives. So, thanks Naomi. You just made my millennium! Ok, what else?

Naomi: Becker and the Internet. On the [b] school blog, there is an archive from December 2007, that I think is an amazing resource. He does blog after blog detailing his work flow, how he shoots, how he processes, how he markets and brands. He has an amazing network of friends in Orange County that share the same open attitude. I think anyone, no matter how long they have been in the industry could benefit from the [b]school blogs.
Me: Yeah, what Becker's created over at the [b] school is pretty amazing.



Naomi: Yes, it really is. This last one is more a personal inspiration. Jasmine Starr, who you know is doing amazingly well in the industry, has a blog...not the new blog but the old blog. I ran across it one day, and I went as far back into the archives and read her very first entry. She posted no pictures, but just journaled for the first few months about her desire to make it as a photographer, her fears, her discouragements, her worry. I was blow away. It was like I was reading my own words that I had never dared to say out loud. It was so incredibly encouraging to see the actual journey to success of an individual, based on desire, determination and hard work.
Me: Jasmine is purely magic. Truly. Aside from anything else . . . her photography, how she's built her business, ALL of that aside, she is one of the most candid, honest, sincere people I have met in this industry to date. She has a heart of gold.

Me: What would be your number one piece of advice for an aspiring photographer?
Naomi: Believe in your self. Doing what you love is such a gift.

Me: Will you marry me?

Naomi: Ha Ha! I'd be a big disappointment compared to Richie, he's like the perfect tenor, how could I replace that!!

Don't miss Naomi's new site! It just launched this week!! Check it out HERE.

Naomi,

I love you!
Thank you for sharing so much, so freely.
I'm so proud of you, honestly, and so very very happy for you!
I hope you meet with EVERY success you desire.

xo,

Natalie

What's in YOUR Bag Matt Nicolosi?

Hi all! Sorry I've been MIA all week! I know you've missed me. . . I've missed you too! I feel all off and funky when I'm not blogging every day! What better way to get back in the groove than with a What's in YOUR Bag? segment? Today I'm pleased to introduce you to another reader's request, photographer Matt Nicolosi! I hope you enjoy our interview and some of Matt's wonderful work below! And I hope you enjoyed that paragraph full of exclamation marks! Tehahahaha!

Ok, I had to start by showing the above image, because. . .
It is so freaking clever and it had me LAUGHING OUT LOUD. I LOVE IT!

Me: What type of photography do you specialize in?
Matt: Most of the work I do is on-location family/children, engagement and bridal portraiture work with an emphasis on creating images that truly speak to the character and personalities of the people I’m fortunate enough to photograph. For the last few years I have chosen not to do weddings, but I decided to finally take on a couple in the past few months, and I surprisingly really enjoyed the experiences. As a result, I’ll be taking on a few more next year to keep my work and my perspective fresh and to continually challenge myself.


Me: What do you LOVE to shoot for you?
Matt: Nothing makes me feel more relaxed, creative and artistically alive than visiting a place I’ve never been and just getting lost with my camera and documenting the beauty and simplicity in every day things. It’s so easy for us to get caught up in life and take for granted the ari in the objects and scenes we see all the time, so it’s incredibly satisfying to be able to capture those things in a way that makes people appreciate them maybe in ways they hadn’t thought of.




Me: What is your primary camera body?
Matt:I switched to the Nikon D3 back in January. I’m still amazed by it today and – like the microwave – wonder how I ever got along without it.
Me: I'm so jealous right now! I switched to Canon back in May and the D3 has been trying to pull me back to Nikon ever since! I am so completely drooling over that camera.


Me: What body do you use for back up?
Matt: I still have my ‘old’ Nikon D200s I use as back-ups, although they’ve been more like expensive paper weights lately as I haven’t used either of them more than once since I got my hands on a D3.


Me: What would be the one lens you just cannot live without and why?
Matt: This is a tough one because I have 3 or 4 that I can’t seem to live without. Forced to chose, though (which fortunately is not the case except for the sake of this question), I would probably say the lens I would have the hardest time not having in my bag is the Nikon AF-S ZoomNikkor 24-70mm f/2.8G ED Lens. Combined with the full frame chip in the D3, it’s a workhorse lens for me because of its versatility. Is it the sharpest lens in the bag? Probably not, but it’s still pretty sharp.

Me: What other gear do you drag along most the time (in order of importance)?
Matt: An assistant. I know, that’s not really gear, per se, but it’s the one thing that makes the biggest difference in my work. The less things I have to keep track of or do myself, the more I can focus on what people hire us for as photographers, and that’s our vision and creativity.
Me: Amen to that. And when I say "amen" I mean AMEN! I recently started shooting with an assistant and it has been AMAZING how much more creative freedom I have at a shoot. It's like magic fairy dust, so amen, amen, Amen!

Matt: Okay back to the gear. In order of importance, here’s what I usually bring with me:

• Extra batteries and memory cards and a back-up camera – always! Without these things, nothing else on the list matters when your primary battery, card(s) or body fails

• Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 lens. This was a tie for my favorite lens in the previous question, but I was forced to choose one. The great thing about this lens is that it lets we shoot in tight without being on top of people, so they’re able to feel less intimidated while I’m a fly on the wall capturing things as they happen.
  

• Nikon 85mm f/1.2 lens. Fantastic portrait lens and tack sharp. The large aperture capability combined with the outstanding high ISO performance of the D3 also lets me shoot without flash in lighting conditions I never would have attempted before.

• Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 lens. Developed for the full frame capabilities of the D3 (and D700), I love the fantastic wide angles I can get with this lens. I really like the perspectives I can capture.
  

• A couple reflectors to pop in some fill light when necessary. Usually I have my assistant hold one of these when I need a little more light in the shadows.
  

• A couple Nikon SB-800 flashes with Pocket Wizard Transceivers, and a Larson 20x20 soft box. I prefer to use as much natural light as I can, but sometimes you just can’t rely on mother nature to give you everything you need. I’ll use a Pocket Wizard Transceiver on the D3 and have my assistant hold an SB-800 off-camera with the Larson soft box attached (and of course a 2nd Pocket Wizard attached to the SB-800) to either add in some fill light or I’ll use it as a main light to add directional/dramatic light. It’s a simple set-up that works for most of the location portrait sessions I do.
  

Me: As a wedding/event photographer you're often forced to photograph people and things in dimly lit reception halls. Any tips for natural looking images in yucky light like this?
Matt: Buy or rent a D3 or D700. [grin] Just kidding… sort of. The D3 truly as been one of the few pieces of equipment that’s changed the way I shoot in low-lighting conditions because of it’s high ISO performance. It’s not uncommon for me to shoot at ISO 4-5000 if I need to in a pinch because I know the D3 can handle it and give me pretty good – if not great – results without needing flash. I don’t like to recommend gear for people, though, because everyone has different comfort and experience levels, and the only thing that’s really going to help people create better images is knowing their gear inside and out.



Matt: Okay, where were we. Oh, right… yucky light. Seriously, if your camera can produce high quality high ISO images, that’s usually my first option simply because I generally like the look of natural light vs. artificial light. If that’s not an option, Melissa Jill was gracious enough to share her approach for these situations with me when I assisted with her at a wedding a while back. It’s similar to the flash setup I mention above, but it works great for dark reception halls. Using a wireless system (like Pocket Wizards), set up a flash on a stand fairly high up somewhere about half way between the dance floor and the wedding party table (so that you can get good light coverage of both), put it in manual mode and set it to about 1/16th. You may need to experiment with which light modifier – if any – you’ll want to use. An umbrella works well to provide less harsh fill light to cover large areas while a bare bulb is a little more contrasty but can create great back-lit images with a little lens flare. Also, another easy approach to try is simply using flash and slowing dragging your shutter. Try slowing your shutter speed to 1/10th or 1/8th of a second. The longer shutter speed will allow more ambient light into the image while the flash will partially freeze your subject. The result is an image that has some focus and some blur that helps to create a sense of action.
Me: GREAT answer! Thanks for being so thorough!!


Me: Which other photographers have really inspired you?
Matt: There are so many… where do I start. I really like the work of Jeremy Cowart, Parker Pfister, Jessica Claire and Jasmine Star. Jeremy’s images are so raw and surreal and real at the same time. Amazing work. Parker is truly an artist that crafts moments of authenticity in unbelievable ways. Period. Jessica and Jasmine create images that are so clean, crisp and fresh. I love their styles. Regarding business savvy and innovation, I really admire the things David Jay, Becker and Mike Colon have done. I know there are others, too, but these guys have the hearts of teachers and really showed me what it looks like to run a successful photography business and create freedom in your life to do the things you want to do.
Me: THANK YOU for introducing me to Jeremy Cowart and Parker Pfister! I'd not heard of them before and I am absolutely BLOWN AWAY! All the photographers you mentioned are noteworthy, but I just have to say one thing about Mike Colon. . . he once said that one of the things in photography that really set him apart was that he had the philosophy of "get in over your head and swim to the top." I TOTALLY took that to heart. Not to make this all about me, but I just have to say that I have been SO BLESSED by that philosophy and the courage it's given me to just DO IT. I've only met Mike once, briefly, but if I ever see him again, he can count on a BIG hug and Hawaiian smooch on the cheek from yours truly! Anyhoo. . . let's jump off the tangent train. . . :)



Me: What would be the one piece of advice you'd give to an aspiring photographer?
Matt: Don’t do what I did when I started out and try to reinvent the wheel. There are so many great photographers out there who are willing to share their success and failures hat got them to where they are today if you just ask or do a little homework. You don’t have to figure it all out on your own, and you can’t do everything all on your own. Find a mentor with a proven track record, and be willing to humble yourself and work hard.
Me: Yes. YES. YES!!

Matt!

Thank you so much for putting so much into this interview.
It's such a wonderful thing to meet someone as talented as you
who is also so very willing to share.
Congrats on the engagement and the new place!
Yes, I read your blog. . . and your engagement = killer stellar!
I hope to meet you someday in the near future.
Aloha!

What's in YOUR Bag Jeff Newsom?

Two days ago I was standing in line at K-Mart (because there is no Target in Hawaii) flipping through a bridal magazine (because that's what I always do when I'm waiting at checkout) and there was this gorgeous image of a wedding party that I just LOVED. Compositionally off the chart, balanced, interesting, fresh, GREAT. Well, I looked up the photo credit and low and behold: Jeff Newsom! What are the odds that he was my next scheduled photographer for What's in YOUR Bag?! FUN! He is one big fat "vultron of awesomeness" and I'm pleased to feature him here on Pics and Kicks today.

Me: How long have you been a photographer?
Jeff: I picked up my first camera about 7 years ago. I've only been a 'photographer' for about 4.



Me: How did you get into photography?
Jeff: Oddly enough, I used photoshop professionally for years before I actually picked up a camera. I say "oddly enough", because I barely even touch photoshop now. I helped a lot of photographers, during their transition from film to digital, figure out their workflow. It was a basic introduction to the industry. I had a friend who asked me to shoot his engagement photos. Never shooting people before, I grabbed my little digicam and explored as many new possibilities as I could. Needless to say, I fell in love. I was meant to shoot people.

Me: Who would you say is your greatest influence as a photographer?
Jeff: In all honesty, it is my clients. Each and every couple I work with is amazing. I'm in love with awesome people and I have the most awesome clients on the planet!
Me: That was the best answer of all time.


Me: What is your primary camera body?
Jeff: I shoot dual Canon 1Ds MK III's. They are my babies.

Me: What do you use for backup?
Jeff: I also bring a 1D MK III and a 1Ds MK II as a backup.

Me: What do you have in the lens armada?
Jeff: The word Armada feels perfectly appropriate. All Canon, In order from the widest: 15mm 2.8 fisheye, 16-35mm 2.8L MK II, 24mm 1.4L, 24mm 3.5L TS-E, 35mm 1.4, 45mm 2.8 TS-E, 85mm 1.2L, 70-200mm 2.8L IS, 200mm 1.8L and a BIG bag.


Me: Why did you choose the gear you did (ie Canon over Nikon)?
Jeff: I chose Canon due to their full frame offerings at the time. I think Nikon is awesome, but Canon has been good to me.
Me: I went with Canon for the same reason, but recently Nikon has me turning my head!



Me: Talk to me a little bit about your post-processing. I love it. Do you have an action set that you use? If so, which are your favorite actions?
Jeff: I have never used any actions on any of my photos (with the exception of resizing for the blog). I process the raw files individually, by hand, using Lightroom. Thats it! No additional PS.

Me: What would be the number one piece of advice you'd give an aspiring photographer?
Jeff: Just do your own thing and work hard. Avoid getting caught up in industry trends and just be yourself! Being unique is beyond valuable.
Me: AMEN!

Jeff,

You're a bona fide rock star!
Thanks for being willing to share.

Aloha,

Natalie

I WOULD NOT BE A RESPONSIBLE PHOTOGRAPHER IF:

I didn't point you to these two (one, two) amazing shoots by Leo Patrone.

Photoshop 101: TEMPLATES.

Hi all! I'm so happy to introduce both a new segment here on Pics and Kicks, Photoshop 101, as well as an awesome guest writer, Naomi Masina. Naomi is a Photoshop extraordinaire and she's graciously agreed to give us a tip or two here today on using templates to enhance our portfolio presentation.

Image illustration is a simple way to polish off any photo presentation, and simplify your work flow. I use templates for story boards, blogging, invitations and announcements....you name it, templates help. Here are the basics to building a template in Photoshop. Take it and run with it, be as creative as you like.

1. For this design, pick two pictures and save them onto your desktop: a vertical image and a horizontal one.

2. Create a new folder on your desktop called "TEMPLATES."

3. Select: FILE>NEW the actual size of your document will depend on the size of images you use. Adjust as needed.
4. With document open, select: FILE>PLACE (this will allow you to browse your computer for the pictures you saved on your desktop). Once you have your first image transfered in, repeat for your second image.



5. Click on the small, square corners to transform size. Hold the shift key down to maintain scale. Once you have your images in place, Save as>Template1.psd. (save into the template file), and close.



YOUR DONE!! Your template is ready to go.

To change images in the template:

1. FILE>OPEN (select template1.psd).



2. Move cursor over layers box, make sure the image you want to replace is selected.

3. On a Mac hit: CONTROL>COMMAND(apple)>MOUSE CLICK On a PC hit: ALT>SHIFT>MOUSE CLICK

4. Select: REPLACE CONTENT




5. CHOOSE NEW IMAGE. EASY AS PIE!!

*remember to DUPLICATE A COPY after the change, FLATTEN image, and SAVE as a JEPG file.

Thanks Naomi! If you have any follow up questions, please comment below and I'll get them over to Naomi asap.

At Home.

When Jon and Callie first got to Laie we just hung out at the house. . . and of course Jon took pictures. I had ZERO MAKE-UP on and had not showered in AT LEAST one day, quite probably two and I was in my scrubby cleaning clothes . . . but I seriously treasure these pictures of us, just BEING US. There are a few in there as well from right after church a couple of days later where I HAD showered and was in fact wearing make-up . . . Check them all out here.

And Jon, we totally heart you more.
