加入摄影早自习群，请加微信：nihaoyelaoshi （暗号：喜马拉雅）早安，我是叶梓，今天是摄影早自习陪伴大家的2383天。Photo by Glenn Carstens-Peters on Unsplash昨天我们有谈到就是屏幕这个东西是蛮重要的，它需要色彩准确，我们才能依据它进行修片，来观赏照片正确的颜色。不过我们昨天只谈到了屏幕偏色的三个维度是色相、纯度和明度，但实际上事情比这个要复杂得多，有一些影响色彩显示的维度可能你想都没想到。比如说有些屏幕它在调整屏幕亮度的过程中，色彩的显示能力会发生变化，如果调到50%它是准确的，那么调的太亮或者调的太暗的时候，它就会出现偏色的情况。比如说咱们躲在被窝里边，在特别黑的环境下把手机的亮度调到最低最低，你仔细看，那个屏幕的颜色是不是很怪，甚至都看不太到颜色的感觉，对吧？同样的，当把手机屏幕亮度调到最亮最亮的时候呢，手机主要顾及的是它如何能更亮一点，对于色彩的显示的准确度它就顾不上那么多了。Photo by Aleks Dorohovich on Unsplash影响色彩显示的准确度的，其实还有这个设备的使用时长。同学们应该有些经验，如果在使用一台老电视的话，就会发现那个电视严重的偏黄绿色调，原因就是使用时间长了，它里边电器件老化了以后出现了偏色。随着不同的显示器它的技术工艺用料的不同，有的显示器它就衰减的快，有的显示器它就扛的时间长一些，变化会比较缓慢，但是没有一台显示器是从来不会变的。那怎么解决这个问题呢？这个问题和上一个问题都可以用一种办法解决，去测量这个屏幕当下的显示能力，看看它到底偏色没有，偏了多少，然后把它给校准回来，这就是色彩管理的一套做法。用Datacolor Spyder校色仪校准屏幕 图片来源Datacolo官网一般来说呢，我们会购买Datacolor Spyder这样的显示器校准仪来校准颜色，把它连在电脑上，再轻轻地放在屏幕上。Datacolor的软件会令屏幕显示出不同的色彩，然后这个仪器就负责去捕捉这个色彩和目标色彩之间有多大差异，用软件对系统进行颜色显示的校准。艺卓ColorEdge CG319X内置传感器课校准屏幕 图片来源：艺卓官网而我们昨天提到的艺卓显示器中比较专业的系列型号，它会在屏幕的顶端直接就藏着一个小型的校色仪，每用一段时间，这个屏幕工作一段时间，它就会自动的把校测仪弹出来，对屏幕进行测量，测完了它自己又缩回去，显示器颜色就又准了。不管是外部的校测仪，还是显示器内置的校测仪，它们的工作原理都类似，对于以上两种色彩偏差都有作用。比如说第一种，我们说的一个显示器它的不同的亮度下会有不同的颜色显示，怎么办呢？校色仪会测量屏幕的亮度，并且推荐你去设置一个屏幕的亮度。你就跟着校色仪的要求去调一下那个屏幕亮度，调到相应的值，在这个值下，这屏幕的显示色彩就会最准。至于屏幕的色彩衰减的问题呢，校色仪更是可以随时的去测量你的屏幕的当下状态，并进行反向校准。如果你的屏幕偏黄了，那么它就让屏幕多显示一点蓝色，正好黄蓝一抵消，这个颜色就又回到一个比较精准的值了。不过这里要注意一个细节，就是校色仪可以让任何屏幕都变得比它出厂要更准一些，但是屏幕本身的素质，它的硬件条件决定了它的色彩到底能有多准。一个好的专业的显示器在经过校色以后，它的色彩准度一定是比那些入门级显示器、民用级显示器要准得多得多的。另外，其实还有一个维度是不可忽略的，一台显示器的不同区域对光线、对色彩的显示能力也不尽相同。我不知道你有没有留意过，在屏幕上播放一整块的白色的画面的时候，你会发现这里边有的区域比较灰，有的区域比较亮，它不是均匀的显示白色。色彩也一样，在不同的区域，色彩的色相、纯度和明度都会有不同的一些偏差，这个就是整个屏幕的显示精度的问题。要保证显示精度高度统一，其实是挺难的一件事情，那如果它不统一呢，它就会让我们觉得：哎呀，这个照片左下角应该调亮一点啊，右上角应该压暗一点，但是其实是你的屏幕它本身暗了亮了，它并不是你真的需要去调它。所以我们就老说，如果屏幕不好，你修图调色很可能是在帮倒忙，还不如不调呢。所以你就知道一台专业的显示器，它到底有多难制造出来，这里面我们还没有提到色彩的深度啊等等其他的话题。其实最难的事情，就是用一个数字的屏幕去模仿真实的世界。我们总是希望我们从屏幕上看到的和我们肉眼看到的世界是完全一样的，但，这就是真正的难点所在。艺卓显示器 图片来源：艺卓官网而艺卓显示器在这个影像专业上的这种深耕真的是有口皆碑。如果同学们很好奇艺卓显示器到底有多强大，欢迎你来参加我们的2024年艺卓杯摄影大赛，到这个月底31号截稿，一等奖就是一台专业的艺卓显示器。具体的投稿方法请见今天的第二条图链接或者是点语音下方的海报进去了解详情。你可以在小红书、在微博或者在抖音上发表你的图文，带上我们的话题，就投稿成功了。除了艺卓显示器以外，我们还有Datacolor公司提供的校色仪，由七工匠提供的相机镜头，由富士公司提供的胶片相机礼盒，还有南光公司提供的魔光灯管等等非常丰厚的奖品，欢迎大家参加，我们等着你的作品。今天是摄影早自习陪伴大家的第2383天，我是叶梓，每天早上6:30，微信公众号以及喜马拉雅的“摄影早自习”栏目，不见不散。

[00:00:00] Meet Andy: The Heart of Kaleidoscope Framing [00:00:00] Hi, I'm Andy I'm the general manager at Kaleidoscope. [00:00:02] Tell me a little bit about Kaleidoscope. Kaleidoscope. Okay, so we're coming up to our 26th year in business. We are a bespoke picture framer, mainly for the photographic industry, so we basically can make anything you want. So, as long as we can actually build it, we'll do it, it's as simple as that. [00:00:18] Why Kaleidoscope Attends the Photography Show [00:00:18] Tell me why you come to the photography show. So we come to Photography Show, uh, mainly to obviously try and drum up more business, new customers, but also see our existing customers and show off our products, ideas, what we can achieve, what we can do, and try and inspire photographers into what they can tell and display their work like. [00:00:36] Andy's Passion for Photography and Its Impact [00:00:36] Why do you love the photography industry so much? I've always had a passion for photography. I know we've spoke before on your podcast, uh, from a young, young age. Um, don't do as much of it myself anymore. Uh, unfortunately, uh, more involved in this side. But I love photography in terms of what that moment can capture. [00:00:54] What you can hold that freeze frame, that image for time. Um, and look back at it. And just, you know, it's memories, isn't it? You're capturing memories, you're capturing happy moments, sad moments, uh, important moments, lots of different memories from people's lives at different times, so. [00:01:09] Uh, if you could change one small thing, or one big thing for that matter about this glorious industry, what would it be? [00:01:17] That's a tough one. I don't know. I don't know what I'd change. Um, obviously for us, for us as a company, I'd change in terms of trying to encourage people to sell more products. That was what, that's what we would change, uh, in terms of helping us as a business. [00:01:31] But it's, in terms of the industry? Sorry, on that note, I'll stop you and we'll just drill into that a little bit. [00:01:38] The Value of Physical Art in a Digital Age [00:01:38] Do you think that photographers understand the importance and the role that finished artworks, whether it's in albums, which you don't do, or whether it's in a frame, as opposed to the fleeting pixel base like phones, iPads, TV screens, do you think they understand the difference and the importance of it? [00:01:57] Not everyone, no. I think there's an element where in a day Very digital driven world. Social media and images being on screens, and I think a lot of people don't realize how different an image can look when you put it up on the wall, when you print it big, when you put a mount around it, put a frame around it, put it onto a canvas, laminate it. [00:02:15] There's so many different options or ways to display that image. I think when you see an image framed up, we. Customers where we print their images and display them here, uh, as you've seen yours, and I'm amazed actually how often people, the first thing they say is, I didn't think it would look that good. [00:02:30] I never thought it could look that good. And, and it goes to show that actually displaying it large, printing it and putting it onto some paper can make such a difference to seeing it on screen, seeing it on the back of the camera, whatever it may be. So, and by extension, I've got a few clients that say they put their, these frames like in a. [00:02:44] Position of prominence, not necessarily visibility, but somewhere they'll see it every day, like the top of the stairs, or somewhere they, you know, walk through a hallway or something, and they enjoy that moment, they relive those memories every single time they look at a frame, and that's something I think digital products don't do, they're much more fleeting. [00:03:02] No, I'd completely agree with that. We moved into our new house in December, and I'm still trying to get frames on the wall, and it's the one thing I'm missing. In our old house, we had lots of frames. Of lots of small frames with lots of captured memories and, and I used to love it walking past the stairs and you'd see 25 frames on the wall, lots of different things. [00:03:17] And now it, we don't at the moment. So that's, I'm driving for that because it does, it, it, it brings back that, that memory, that spark, that emotion from that moment. [00:03:25] Thank you very much, Andy. I'll talk to you soon. Thank you. [00:03:28] Honestly, it's one of the greatest things about being a part of this industry is the people I've met along the way. And Andy. He's definitely one of them. [00:03:35] The Busy Life of a Portrait Photographer [00:03:35] I'm Paul, and this is the mastering portrait photography podcast. [00:03:40] So I've been in London this afternoon, we've had such a chaotic few weeks. It's nine o'clock at night. Actually it's half past nine at night. And I'm sitting on my own in the studio with just the whirring of the heating. And a couple of disc drives, chattering weight in the background. And if I'm honest, I've just found myself asleep at my desk because finally I've managed to get myself back into the habit of doing some exercise. [00:04:19] And so when we got back from London tonight, I hopped onto the Peleton and did an hour, but all it's actually happened is I'm just exhausted because it really has been a few weeks and it must have been because I haven't recorded any podcasts and that's in spite of me, not just promising. I suppose all of my listeners, but promising myself. I would do more and I do them shorter, but actually the reality is finding the space, not just the time I suppose, but the headspace to sit and do a podcast. Well, it's just alluded me a little bit. [00:04:55] So it's me. I'm on my own. A little bit of peace and quiet and I think at the moment, Things are a little bit like playing Mario carts. I love Mario karts. Cause once you get to know the course, you get to know where you're headed, what's coming up, what you've got to do. But in spite of that, well, usually my family, uh, throwing stuff at me, banana skins Inc. [00:05:18] Shrink me. You name it? [00:05:20] The Art and Business of Photography: A Personal Journey [00:05:20] Um, but then there's also those boosts where you get that little bit of extra energy and off you go, and I think running a photography studio. Is a little bit light that. It's kind of crazy. It's full on. You're running at a hundred miles an hour. Things are thrown at you that in spite of the fact you think, you know where you're going and what's coming up next. Well, life doesn't work that way. [00:05:41] So what's happened over the past. What's it been? Three and a half weeks, I think since I released a podcast. Uh, in that time we've done nine client reveals, which has been a really nice, hugely successful, which is lovely. Uh, we've done 15 portrait sessions, which means there's a whole load of reveals coming up. Um, we've judged the monthly for the BIPP, which is something I absolutely adore doing. Um, I'm chair of the judges. Uh, chair of awards and qualifications for the BIPP. [00:06:10] So I'm not strictly speaking. Judging. So I get to be a part of the process and I really enjoy that. Uh, cause it takes a little bit the pressure off Sarah and I coordinate it. And bring it all together and make sure everything's running smoothly and keep an eye on the scores. But in the end, the pressure's not on me to analyze all of these images. [00:06:28] Having said that though. Uh, over the past couple of days, I've been judging for the Photographic Society of America. Uh, which is a blast as he seeing some work from around the world. Uh, the BIPP though it is an international organization is predominantly a UK photographers, but the photographic society of America is exactly the opposite of that. [00:06:47] In fact, I'm not sure how many UK guys. are in it. And so to see work from all over the world. And he's just a real pleasure. Um, Don two shoots for the Hearing Dogs, including photographing, uh, Chris Packham. TV presenter and natural history sort of buff. I suppose it was a wonderful thing, actually. [00:07:09] I didn't know quite how I'd find him, cause it's never, you're never certain when you meet people, who've been on TV. Uh, quite what they're going to be like. And he's quite outspoken about various things, but he could not have been a nicer guy. And at the end of all of the shooting, we sat in a park and had a quick, it was a Coke. I say it was, it was a pub, but we had a diet Coke at a hot chocolate. [00:07:31] And do you know what. There was a window. There was a window in exactly the way I describe how to set up light in the studio is it was, it could not have been more like a one meter square softbox and so I persuaded him to sit and we had a chat about photography and production and all sorts of things. Uh, and I took a couple of portraits of him using window light in a pub. [00:07:55] Exactly as I describe how I learned today. So that was lovely. [00:07:59] Uh, we've done five wedding pitches so far I've lost one, but one, all of the others, which I think is pretty good going. What's that 80% I'll live with 80%. The one that I lost was one that. You know, when you get a pitch. And your instinct is always to want to win. [00:08:16] That's just inbuilt. But it was a job I couldn't figure out. Whether it was going to be tricky. And I'm not going to say more about it than that because I don't, I, you know, I don't want those prospective clients, if they happen to listen, to the podcast. You know, obviously they've decided to use somebody else or to go somewhere cheaper. [00:08:36] Actually, I was too expensive. The price we put in was too much. Um, and they were lovely people. Absolutely brilliant. And I would have loved working with them. But the job was such that it would have meant cancelling, some other bits to do it. A couple of, um, Extended stays and a few of the bits and pieces. [00:08:53] And I think in the end, I though I lost it. And of course you never, ever, ever. I want to lose work, my suspicion is the time that it would have taken. We'll drop a couple of portraits shoots in there. We'll stand, you know, we'll, we'll learn about the same kind of revenue for probably a lot less work in the end. [00:09:11] So hello, 80%. So I've lost one, one for. Uh, I'm going to live with that. That's pretty good. [00:09:17] Embracing Change and Challenges in Photography [00:09:17] Ah, I've almost, almost completely finished, ripping out. I say a ripping out. It makes it sound like a gutted, the place. Uh, reorganizing the studio. Uh, for the Elinchrom kit that we now have, because of course, I've got to take out all of the existing adapters. Change out all of the, um, any of the sort of third party kits. [00:09:38] So we've sold all of the Profoto equipment back to, uh, the Pro Center in London. Got a good price rate. So that's makes me very happy. Sarah drove that into London and deliver that safely to those guys. So thank you to them. Ashley for having a brilliant service. They took it in on a Friday morning, checked it all over. Uh, and paid us on Friday afternoon. Um, which was really useful. [00:09:57] I sold it as a job lot in the end. Because it was easier rather than trying to split it up. A few people had shown interest in bits and pieces. But, you know, it's just, sometimes it's just easy. I took a slightly lower price. And offset that against the fact it was an awful lot less. Uh, an awful lot less worry and effort on our part. [00:10:18] So Sarah drove that in, but of course I've got a ton of adapters. Softboxes kit that is sort of, I dunno, got ox or aperture, different manufacturers that were all based around Profoto in of course now I've got to change all of that over, put new adapters on. So that, um, I can use the as the light source. [00:10:38] And on top of that, all of the charges are very different. All USB C, and they're great. I wasn't certain how I was going to react to having. USB C charges everywhere. Uh, but I bought a couple of very long cables. for them and, they're 60watt. I mean, they're pretty meaty these things. I'm going to have to remember not to leave them plugged in. [00:10:56] Cause I don't know quite, I got to get a measurement on them because I don't know if they're left, plugged in whether they're still generating or absorbing that kind of power because they're digital transformers. So they must be absorbing some power. But they're great. And you can run the lights off them continuously, or you can unplug them. [00:11:13] And of course their batteries. Uh, but more on the, on the telecom side in a bit. Uh, another thing that happened is that a friend of ours, who's a wine collector. Everyone should have a wine collector as a friend. I delivered on, uh, where was it? Beginning of the week. Must have been Saturday. He delivered six more. Of the wine crates, the wooden wine boxes that he gets his really valuable, very beautiful wine delivered in, and they are amazing for storage, but also great as props. So, um, that was really, really nice. To see him and also to get these crates. [00:11:47] So it's helped me organize. Uh, stuff in the studio. Uh, also, I, I saw some video there's some behind the scenes footage of one of our workshops. And there's a pan around and it's brilliant. It's vibrant and it's fun. But I looked at just the ount of stuff we've got in the studio. And made the decision there and then that we needed to get some of it out of there. [00:12:08] So I've been redistributing things that don't get used quite so often as other things that then are scattered around the studio, probably never to be found again, I'll be scratching my head one day thinking now where's that particular softbox well, that particular modifier where's the beauty dish con the things that I don't use very much. Where are they? Uh, and I've got to go on a hunt in the attic. Uh, to find them. Uh, what else? [00:12:31] We've written three or I've written three magazine articles, one for NPhoto magazine. One for Digital Photographer, magazine, Digital Photography. Uh, magazine and one for Professional Photo magazine says three in one week. I had to turn. That was quite lively. A lot of writing, a lot of scratching my head about the different things. Eh, love writing. [00:12:52] I'm loving, writing more and more and more. I've surprised myself. I think I've certainly, I would surprise, surprise my English teacher. If only he knew the effect that ultimately many, many years. Uh, down the line, he had had a lot of fun that, so please do look those guys up that's NPhoto, which is the unofficial Nick on magazine. Uh, that's also assay, technically I've written four. I'm just thinking I've also written a piece on print and its place in this ever. Digital and file based industry and why actually a lot of us still use it. Uh, that article. Is part of a whole debate in the BIPP magazine, in The Photographer. Uh, magazine, but look up Professional Photo it's online look, up NPHoto, and also an article isn't out yet, which is about the bit I've looked after is about switching digital backgrounds. Uh, in Digital Photography magazine. [00:13:46] We've had two one-on-one coaching sessions or master classes, which is always a blast because you get to spend the entire day just figuring out stuff with one person, a couple of models on each different things, whether it's off-camera flash or whether it's dedicated to daylight or both. [00:14:03] Of course, when it's only one person. You can do whatever you want. [00:14:06] Uh, we ran one of our workshops in Oxford, which is the, uh, walking around the streets, looking for interesting places to photograph workshop. I said a name for it. Uh, streets. It's not really, I don't like calling it street photography because street photography is a thing. [00:14:21] And it's not that it's finding places, finding light, figuring out how to create imagery and how to invent shots when all you've got is the space you're in the face in front of you and the camera in your hands. And I love working like that. In fact, today I sit to sound away in, so on the way in for the shoot I'm doing that, I was doing some headshots for a Harley Street, um, clinician. [00:14:43] She's a psychologist in London. And I was doing some headshots in Harley street. And so Sarah and I packed up. Uh, the two, two of the Elinchrom lights into the rucksacks, couple of, uh, small, soft boxes. Camera gear. A couple of stands in case he wanted a white background and plowed our way into London. [00:15:02] And I was laughing with Sarah as we hold this stuff. Through the station and into a cab. Is I lay you a bet. We don't use any of it. I'm just going to use one camera and a big grin. And that is it. And sure enough that's exactly what happened. So in spite of me taking all of this kit in all we did was just have an absolute blast with one person laughing our way through it. Taking pictures I'm using daylight is in the light for the windows in her Harley street, uh, consulting room. Out in the street itself. Uh, on the steps and things like that. [00:15:36] And it was just brilliant. And that's exactly what the, the workshop in Oxford was about. It's about where, when you find yourself and who you find yourself there with, what do you do? [00:15:45] The Importance of Storytelling and Community in Photography [00:15:45] Uh, another thing I've done this past couple of weeks is had a presentation to the Village. Uh, Society. [00:15:51] Yes, Hunnam has a Village Society. You couldn't make this stuff up. It's like Midsummer murders is brilliant. A room full of, uh, retirees, mostly one or two of my clients as well. That's quite a few of my clients were in there. Uh, all sorts of people came. A busy room in our local library. And on top of that, my mum came now, my mum is a legend. Uh, she's an absolute power of nature is my mother. Uh, but it's the first time I've done one of these presentations or with my mum in the room. [00:16:21] I'm not going to tell you the whole story, but there is one bit of it where I show a photograph of my mom and dad actually. And it's a photograph that Dorling Kindersley wanted to use and they wanted to use it on a book called Sex And The Older Couple. Uh, of course I never, ever, ever. Let them. That, that image was never going anywhere near, uh, the cover of a book. [00:16:43] Uh, but it's the first time I think my mum has ever seen me do that routine. And it's, it's really, uh, it's just me laughing about photography and imagery in telling stories. And it's just one of those stories. And of course, it's my mum and dad who I think the world of, and they're the people that gave me. Well, they gave me everything. And so much of the confidence, I guess. And the drive to do something. Whatever it is in life to do it and do it well. Comes to my mum and dad's having a moment. [00:17:09] The audience was a real privilege. Uh, because she now lives here in the village with us, but it is a little bit weird. I'm doing a presentation that I've done over and over and over it though, at least that particular story over and over and over. Uh, my mom's in the audience. She didn't look too surprised. Uh, I don't know. [00:17:26] I don't know how she felt about that. Particularly. It's a shot of course of my dad who died 10 years ago. Um, this year. Uh, we've also, uh, we're working with a couple of people. We filmed a new video. [00:17:37] So we're working hard on creating new content for mastering portrait photography, not just the podcast. But the training materials and the videos. And so we've spiked that we've gotten, we're getting some more people involved. We filmed one new video. We had to took two filming days to do it. Absolutely exhausted. I was so tired at the end of it. [00:17:57] Maybe that's why I've just found myself asleep at the desk. Um, and we started to work on our social media and all sorts of other bits and pieces. Just trying to get on to get things out there. Uh, it's hard when your primary objective, you know, if you've ever seen Little Shop Of Horrors and there's the, there's the, what's the, I dunno what it's called, but it's the, it's the monster plant. And he says, feed me, Seymour, feed me now. And they were running a photography business is exactly like that. [00:18:29] We have one client. And that's the bank account because you have to keep running. It doesn't matter how many other things you have in the pipeline. Or things you want to do or ideas you'd like to explore or portfolio images you'd like to retouch in the end is a huge, great plant. Just going feed me Seymour, feed me now. I was laughing with Sarah today. Everything we do in, you know, all we have to have is one phone call that says, can I get five days of paid work from you? [00:18:56] And you drop everything and go do it because you have to. And that's the reality of this kind of business. You don't turn down work or at least, I mean, maybe that maybe some of you who are listening are in a privileged position. Where you can and you do. I'm not in that position. When work comes in, we take it. [00:19:13] We do a good job of it. And we get it back out to the client and then we sit and go, right? Where was I? Here I am recording that podcast. Uh, what's the Dune Part II actually with our daughter. I don't know if anyone's seen it is brilliant. I've no idea what was going on. It was excellent. He was. An absolute mystery to me. [00:19:33] Um, over the past week, couple of weeks I'd spent watching. Uh, Dune part one. Uh, trying to understand, because of course I never watch a film properly. I sit with a film on my second or third monitor on my iPad while I'm retouching or writing for a magazine or something. It's in the background. It burbles in a background. [00:19:52] So usually I can't watch anything with too much of a plot. Uh, but Dune part one, well, I kind of passed by, it was really pretty. I think I understood some of it. There appear to be some telekinesis kind of stuff and some mind reading, he kind of stuff. Lots of sand. Uh, and then I went to the cinema to watch Dune part two. [00:20:12] Now, what I will say is it's worth the watch. Brilliant. Big screen. Theater 7.1, Lucas, whatever THX, whatever it is, sound. Huge bucket of popcorn. A large thing of diet Pepsi and on top of everything else. Uh, class a beer. And then I realize after about two hours, That I've got another three quarters of an hour to go because it's a long film and I've got the bladder. Of a 55 year old bloke because that's how old I am. This, all of this came to a bit of a head. Now I stayed put in my seat, but honestly, by the time we got to the end of the movie, I was sweating. I was sweating beyond sweating as the first pixel of the first credit. Appeared at the bottom of the screen. I made a run for it. [00:20:59] Well, I'll tell you what I was still peeing. When pretty much the cinema was closing. People came and went. I think people got married, had children celebrated anniversaries in the time. I was like that scene. I've Austin Powers. I've never been so pleased to get inside the gents. So I'm sorry if that's a bit lewd, but you know what I mean? Uh, when you're in that sort of, oh my God, I've got to go now. Uh, but it was brilliant. The film, at least the first three quarters of it. I paid a lot of attention to, I think I was getting a little bit distracted by the end. There's a lesson, a beautiful people. If, if you're going to watch a really long film, Don't drink too much. Anyway, it was great. Uh, now what I need to do is watch Dune part one again. In the context of having seen what happens now, I'm that guy anyway, a very often, if a film is or a series or. Uh, you know, a box set or something is stressful. Drama. You know, tension, those kinds of things. I will hop onto, uh, something like, uh, I MDB or Wiki and do a plot spoiler because I don't need to stress. [00:22:01] I do the same with books. If I'm watching, if I'm reading a book that I think is a bit stressy. Then I'll go to the back couple of pages and read them, just went out what happens and then I can enjoy the plot knowing what's coming. Don't ask. I just don't like the stress. I don't need it in my life. [00:22:14] I have enough stress in my life. I'm a photographer. Life is stressful enough. Without me adding extra stress by watching something that, uh, I don't know what the ending is going to be. [00:22:26] All right. [00:22:26] Exploring New Horizons: Reviews and Competitions [00:22:26] Uh, in the middle of all of this, this is a message from our sponsors. Well, not really sponsors. I'm not paid, by anybody, but I have had a few things sent my way to review and have some fun with, uh, and the first of those is the Smoke Ninja. [00:22:41] So this has come from PMI company called PMI. I will put the links to all of this in the show notes, but PMI very kindly sent me a piece of kit I'd already bought from them on the CA. On the Kickstarter. Campaign it's the Smoke Ninja, which is a tiny EDBD. You can't believe how much stuff comes out of it. Fogger. [00:23:00] It's absolutely incredible. So this thing we've had this for a while, talked about it before, but I've, uh, I now have two of them. Excellent. Great fun. But it's all to do with a competition they're running and I'll give you the URL now. So it's, if you go to PMI smokeninja dash portrait dash contest. [00:23:22] So. HTTPS colon slash slash usual stuff. P M I gear all one word.com/pages/smoke. Ninja will one word. Hyphen portrait hyphen contest. Now they have a contest and I'm just bringing it up now on my screens. And there's $10,000. They say total prize pool. There's a prize for the best solar portrait. There's a prize for the best wedding portrait. [00:23:47] There's a prize for the best family portrait. There's a most creative award and there's the most viral award. Everything has to be done. Uh, or rather everything, everything you do for the competition has to use either the Smoke Ninja or its bigger brother. The Smoke Genie. Uh, you have to do some behind the scenes footage of it. [00:24:06] Send up your final picture and the behind the scenes footage to prove you were actually using their equipment to do it. I think as well as it giving some social media content, you have to put, you have to upload it to there. Their portal, as well as putting it on your own social media feeds. So it's a great competition and the prize is absolutely stunning. [00:24:26] Unveiling the Prize: The Smoke Ninja and More [00:24:26] Uh, each prize has $500, $500 us dollars. Um, The cash, uh, but also has, uh, some stuff from, I don't know how to pronounce this is Yoon. Um, some stuff from Small rig and you also get the smoke genie pro kit. If you're a prize winner. [00:24:45] Exploring the Wonders of Smoke Ninja [00:24:45] And the smoke genie. Uh, is like, oh, I miss the Smoke Ninja, but on steroids. Now we've been having a blast with the Smoke Ninja recently. [00:24:54] It's a really good bit of kit. The only thing we've had to learn how to do here is to disable all of the smoke sensors. So that's actually been a little bit of a head scratch. Is figuring out how to turn off the smoke detectors in the studio before we use it. Because the last thing I need is the fire brigade turning up to find me sort of with a family or a teenager, flinging smoke around and laughing my head off. [00:25:15] Uh, I'm not sure that we'll go down that well. Uh, but that's the, the competition and I in return for them sending me, uh, the Smoke Ninja. I've also got to enter the competition as well, but if you fancy it, so it's PMI gear.com/pages/smoke, ninja portrait contest. And I'll put that. Uh, in the show notes that, so it's worth a worth a look. [00:25:37] And I can honestly hand on heart say that the PMI. Uh, Smoke Ninja is well, it's just, I would call it the smoke Genius, not the smoke Genie or the Smoke Ninja [00:25:47] . I think the thing is absolutely fab. And even the other day, when we were filming the video we've created is actually I ran the fogger as a hazer. [00:25:56] So just so I had a little bit of haze in the air so that when we put the lighting across the studio for all of the pieces to camera, it just adds atmosphere. Uh, it picks out little bits of light and it just softens those backgrounds. It's. It's it's only when you start watching how a film. Directors and directors of photography and lighting engineers use this stuff. [00:26:16] You kind of think, oh, okay. That's something that's entirely applicable. In our world to photographic stills, photographic world too. So. Head over to them. Have a look at that competition. If you're interested. Uh, you might just, you might just find some inspiration for some angles on photography. Maybe you haven't thought about. [00:26:32] Diving Into the World of Color Calibration with Datacolor [00:26:32] Uh, the next one is Datacolor also is it's been a couple of weeks of stuff arriving. [00:26:38] I think I mentioned this in the previous podcast, but Datacolor sent us the Spyder Checkr, the spider, sorry, the Spyder Checkr Photo, the Spyder Checkr Video and also. Uh, thing of genius, the Spyder Cube. Now this is one of those gadgets. So. The color check is I've used a Datacolor. Spyder Checkr Photo or the older version of that. For probably, I don't know, six years, seven years, maybe even longer at the beginning of every one of the shoots off site, because obviously once you've set it up for your studio, I don't need to recalibrate this. [00:27:10] I've changed the lens or a camera on my lighting, which of course I'm doing right now. I don't need to recalibrate, but every time I go out into location, We take a safe shot with the Spyder Checkr Photo as it is now called. And I'd be doing that for a very long time, so that I've always got a reference point for my white balance and for my color. So the color spectrum under the lighting that we're using. well the Spyder cube is sort of the next level genius. [00:27:36] It gives you not just your white point and black point. There's a hole in it. What. Uh, brilliant idea. There's a hole in it with no lights you get. So that should be exactly the same darkness is the nostrils. It's just dark. Uh, but it's also got white and gray and a mirroball on the top or a little Chrome. Uh, marble, it looks like a little Chrome sphere. And that, of course, if you were lighting, it gives you your white point because it shows you your specular highlight. [00:28:00] The thing is great. It's absolutely brilliant. And of course, as we've just done right now, we are, re-engineering all of our lighting. So I now have from Elinchrom, four Fives and two Threes, and I am loving it, but not just because the light that these, these bad boys are giving is stunning. But on top of that, we've used the Datacolor Spyder Checkr Photo to calibrate all of the new gear in our studio. [00:28:27] So have profiles in Light Room for the new Allyn crumbs. And although it gives you a very flat finish, which is not my look. It gives you a very, very accurate starting point. So I just thought I'd put that in there. So thanks to Datacolor for sending me that kit. Um, if you have the opportunity head over to that Datacolor with no 'u', by the way, it's a American English, or I suppose these days international English. Uh, as opposed to the British or English, English, C O L O U R. [00:28:54] It's not that it's da as you, but I'm sure you know, it C O L O R a Datacolor. It's worth going to have a look. The thing's not that expensive. It's less than a hundred pounds. It's only about 40 quid for the spider cube. Uh, and then the spider checker photo inspire the checker video. We're all in that sort of 90 quit. Mark, I think anyway, it's very kind to them to send it over and, uh, I will put out some, uh, befores and afters on some of our feeds as to just how good it is. [00:29:20] And of course, having had. All of the new Elinchrom lighting and the Elinchrom theme is going to run for weeks. So we'll leave that. I won't talk any more about that on this particular episode, but rest assured the four Fives and two Threes. I am having a blast. It's so nice. To have stunning light back in the studio. [00:29:40] Absolutely loving it [00:29:42] [00:29:42] The Building Blocks of a Successful Photography Business [00:29:42] anyway, onto today's little, sort of the actual bit, the rest of it. I'll tell you what the diary of a working pro is getting bigger. Uh, um, I need to fix that. I need to do something about that, but at the moment, it's just because the episodes are so far apart, a lot has happened since the last one. So this, the theme of this particular episode, and I was puzzling over this. Uh, or rather what triggered it was a series of conversations and the reviews from our Oxford. Workshop and I kinda been chewing on what is it that makes a successful. Photography business. [00:30:23] What is it? What really is it I'm still working on? I don't have an answer. I doubt there is an answer. But what I have observed is there are building blocks. You need. And sort of you stack them up. I think. And on the top of it is you as a S as a successful photographer or a successful. Photography business, but you build it on certain pillars. And the four I've kind of identified, and this is based on S on feedback and it's based on observations. That I've made as well. You need, I think the following four things. At the very least you need the following four things. [00:31:04] The Essential Attitudes for Success [00:31:04] Anyway, you need energy. Optimism enthusiasm. And confidence. Now you'll notice in there. I haven't said camera craft or. And I for an image or I dunno, technical knowledge, or I, I've not said any of those things, you do need those things. By the way, it's not that you don't. But underneath that. To learn to be able to absorb ideas, to be able to push through. The fear and doubt that is inevitably part of this world. [00:31:35] You need energy, optimism, enthusiasm, and confidence. And these are things. That I'm very blessed. To have I'm lucky in that my parents gave me those things and on the whole I've normally got, I'm going to say I've normally got three of the four. It's any one moment. There are days when I have no energy, but I'll be optimistic that I'm going to get it, get it there the other day. [00:31:56] There'll be other days whenever turn of energy, but it's being in channeled entirely in pessimism. Um, there are days when I'm not enthusiastic, but it doesn't stop me thinking tomorrow will be better. And there are days when I'm, I have no confidence at all. But I'm still energetic and optimistic and enthusiastic about I, what about what I do now? [00:32:16] I could probably do a podcast on each of those things. And maybe in the future, I will maybe I'll interview. Some photographers and talk about these various aspects, but why, why have I brought those out when I could have said. You need to understand cropping. You need to understand your color wheel. [00:32:34] You need to understand how to process digital images. You need to understand how to use your camera when all of these things are undoubtedly. True. But if you don't have the energy and if you don't have the opt or more importantly than enthusiasm, I think you'll never get around to learning those skills. [00:32:52] They just will never arrive. [00:32:54] Before you even start. You have to have energy, optimism, enthusiasm, and confidence. They are the building blocks. They're the attitudes. Maybe that's what I should have called to maybe attitudes there, what you need. I think. And I've never met. Uh, top flight photographer, successful photographer. Now by top flight, I don't necessarily mean award-winning images. [00:33:16] I mean, people who've been successful in the industry. Some photographers are successful because their business just. Fly. Some people are successful because they are amazing on stage. Some people are successful because they images. Or well, simply glorious. There are lots of reasons why a photographer may or may not. Be successful. [00:33:37] So when I say a top flight photographer, I mean, someone who's known for some aspects, some skill, some quality. In industry and every single one of them that I've ever met. Shows energy, optimism, enthusiasm, and confidence. [00:33:53] So let's have a think about what each of these. Uh, attitudes sort of are. So energy and having energy doesn't mean you're bolshy or pushy, or like a bull in a China shop. It doesn't mean that it just means. That, when it comes down to it, when you pick up the camera, there's something about what you're doing. That drives you, that keeps you going because there are going to be days when you really aren't feeling it. And it's your energy. That you need to draw on. [00:34:22] Now for me, I'm kind of lucky. In the, when the client walks into the room, they give me the energy that I need. Somehow, no matter how flat I am, how tired I am, how fed up. I am sometimes. When the client appears, they give me energy. That energy drives everything. Sometimes I'll be honest. [00:34:43] My own insecurity gives me. Energy when I'm having one of those days and I'm not feeling it. I don't often get to the point where I'm like, you know what, I'm done it, it does happen. People have to talk me out of it. [00:34:56] But sometimes my own insecurity is all of the energy I need. But always when a client walks in, that triggers something in me and off I go. [00:35:06] Optimism. Optimism is I suppose an odd one. I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone else write down optimism. Um, certainly in the reviews, no one's ever said optimism is not a word. [00:35:16] I think the associate. With any of these conversations normally, but here's why. Here's why I use the word and I don't mean in optimism. I don't mean unrealistic. So I don't mean that you late. I don't know. You think you're going to always make a silk purse out of a sow's ear? To use the expression. I just mean. It's that thing of, well, let's give it a go. [00:35:42] What's the worst that can happen. You know, I'm a photographer, not a brain surgeon. So the worst damage I can do is to take a crappy picture. That's essentially it. Now, if you're doing a wedding, okay. That's a little bit more pressure, but if I go, if I get it wrong, I'm going to make someone look fatter or older. Or thinner or. I don't know, less attractive than they think they should be. Those basically are the limits of the damage I can do with a camera. [00:36:10] Let's say drop it on someone. I suppose I could drop the camera from a great height and it would cause damage. Um, so having optimism is almost baked in why wouldn't I have optimism? Let's take a picture and see what it looks like. But I have met a lot of photographers who don't exhibit that they're nervous of trying things that. They think might fail and I think it will make. They think it will diminish. They're standing in front of their client, whereas I'm, I think the other way round. Is that I think the client loves it when we try things. [00:36:42] And I'm very open about stuff I will say to the client, look, I don't know if this is going to work, but you know, let's give it a go. And if it does work, I'm going to show you, I'm going to. Claim credit for it, and I'm going to enter it into awards. If it doesn't work, you're never ever going to see the image. [00:36:58] And that's basically it. Um, optimism is about the idea that you can. And that today, what do you know what I will. Uh, enthusiasm, enthusiasm runs through me most of the time. And it's a, it's a derivative of energy. Rarely, I suppose I could have fused. Those two words, but I think you can be enthusiastic without being energetic and vice versa. He can be energetic in your pessimism if you want to be. [00:37:24] So enthusiasm has a real place for me and enthusiasm. I found when I'm in, in the company of a photographer who is enthusiastic about what they do, who is full of positivity about what they do. It's it's captivating and you kind of get drawn along on that ride. Now I don't mean naivety. I don't mean. That. You're enthusiastic to the degree that we can know what could happen. [00:37:51] I'm not saying that. Similarly with optimism, you know? I'm just saying that if you're enthusiastic about what you're, what you do it carries now, does that mean all of your pictures have to be happy, bubbly pictures, new, not at all. But it's much easier to take enigmatic, gentle, moody pictures. When you're being enthusiastic about it than when you're not trust me on that. Uh, so enthusiasm is what it is. [00:38:16] And I think I've every successful photographer I've ever met is enthusiastic about what they do now. Occasionally you time it and you talk to them and they're like, they're not being very enthusiastic or optimistic for that matter. But on the whole, you feel that they would be the rest of the time. [00:38:32] Confidence, Feedback, and the Art of Adaptation [00:38:32] And then there's confidence. And now confidence does not mean. Arrogance. [00:38:37] And it certainly doesn't mean. That I don't have, or the photographers I've met don't have insecurities or imposter syndrome or all of those words they do. They really do. But something in them. Says that it's going to be all right again. Allied to optimism, having the confidence to say, I know what I'm doing. To ground yourself with the camera in front of your client and say, it's fine. [00:39:04] I know what I'm doing. And I know I can do this. Or having the confidence to take. Feedback critical or otherwise to take. feedback from your peer group or from your client. It takes confidence and it takes. To an extent, a thick skin. I think I might've missed an attribute. I think sensitivity might be an attribute that I should add to this. [00:39:26] Let me think about that. I'll come back to you on that. one, but having the confidence. To say, yeah, I can learn that. Or having the confidence to take. Feedback in a way. That you turn it into a forward facing energy. Oh on the Peleton tonight. Honestly, I have done an hours exercise. That's like nearly a thousand calories burned, which is why. He likes snoring. [00:39:48] I've lit. Honestly, I'm not kidding. I woke up at my desk. Uh, with the microphone over my head. Uh, waiting to record. Um, and that's because I've done an hour and it's been a long week. I submitted an article last night, or this morning at three o'clock in the morning. I submitted one of the articles much as I love writing. [00:40:04] Uh, sometimes the inspiration doesn't come until the wee small hours. As my Scott's friends. Uh, I would say, um, anyway, during the exercise class. That was on tonight. [00:40:16] One of the instructors said, there's this thing called? Yes. And now I've never heard of this as a thing before. Yes. And not. Yes, but, or no, but, or no. Yes. And. And that's having a confidence to take feedback in a positive way and move forwards with it. There's a scale in and of itself giving everyone knows that giving feedback in a positive way. Is a skill, but I don't know how many people think that. Taking feedback is a skill. [00:40:49] It's a practiced. Skill to know how to take feedback and. Extract or distill what's useful. Actually is a lot of confidence. And I come back to the same thing. Don't get me wrong. Of course there are days when I'm absolutely terrified. There are days. When I can't feel it, there are days when my confidence is not for whatever reason, you know, it, I'm not at all saying you disassociate. From your normal character. [00:41:20] And my normal character is I'm very, very confident in what I do. And I'm confident in my ability to learn stuff. I'm a quick learn. I can certainly do that. And I'm very good at the yes. And. But it doesn't change the insecurity. When you show an image and somebody doesn't like it, there's still that burning sensation. That you get when somebody points out something [00:41:44] , if you go to any art gallery, any and have a look at people, enjoying the pictures. Isn't it curious how some people will head towards one artist and others will head towards another artist. But they don't always like the same artists. And that's similar to photographers and feedback. So having the confidence to give feedback and take feedback is a thing. [00:42:06] Having the confidence to stand in front of a client and say, Genoa, I can take this picture. Don't worry. You're fine. Giving confidence to your client through those actions. Well, that's the thing I think. So these are your building blocks. [00:42:20] You've got energy. Optimism, enthusiasm and confidence. And I also think. You have sensitivity in there. You're going to have to leave that one with me. I thought of that while I was talking. Why does that happen? Why is it just as I think I've got my podcast nailed. I've got my things I want to talk about. During the actual recording. [00:42:38] I think of one item thought about. I think sensitivity might well be in there. If it is, I'll bring that up in another. Another podcast because having empathy and sympathy, when you're a portrait photographer, I don't know if that matters when you're out there doing landscaping, but this is the mastering portrait photography podcast. [00:42:56] And so I guess that's, pertinent. [00:43:00] So you need those things [00:43:02] . Of course, you also need practice. You need perseverance and hard work. You need creativity and your craft. They don't go away. But in my experience, Those things are built. . On your energy, your optimism, your enthusiasm, and your confidence without those. You'll do no work. You won't have what it takes to pick up your camera and develop and push forwards and change and evolve. And that's another thing, , having those four things. [00:43:31] I'm going to go back to the four. I think. Having those four things gives you what you need to be adaptable and pliable. It gives you what you need to develop and change. And trust me in this world. Particularly now AI has arrived on the scene. You're going to have to adapt and evolve to be competitive in this market. [00:43:51] Not just as a business. But visually too, because what's out there in terms of the visual arts is changing at a pace. We have never experienced. It's changing at a pace. When I did my PhD in AI 25 years ago, nearly 30 years ago. That could not have envisaged where we were going to end up. We talked about this stuff back then as a fantasy and here it is. You know, type a few key words into half a dozen of the different image generators. And just see what comes back, [00:44:22] Wrapping Up: A Look Ahead and Gratitude [00:44:22] but on that happy note, On that happiness. [00:44:24] I hope that's. I. I'm quite curious about this episode. I hope that's useful. I might write this one up as a, an actual article kind of thing. Uh, thank you for listening. To the end. Um, please do go across to PMI Gear. To Datacolor and to Elinchrom, all excellence suppliers of the stuff we use here at our studio. Uh, we stuff I use with enthusiasm, energy, optimism, and confidence. Now, it just sounds really corny. [00:44:50] I'm so sorry. Uh, but please do go ahead and look up the competition. Uh, it's a really cool one. I will be entering mostly because it gives me a chance. We've got someone coming in on Sunday. Uh, to, uh, create some, uh, very fogged work.

Frankly, the enjoyment of portrait photography. We're about to hit that with some reorg. I talk about that in the coming weeks. [00:46:22] Um, and some new content, uh, we changed in the way that's all working while I'm in the process of putting together thoughts on how we're going to change that. Uh, hence the fact we're now filming videos, uh, on a more regular basis. It's all quite exciting. There's a ton of stuff going on. Hopefully I won't be asleep at my desk with too much of it because frankly that's a big waste of time. But until next time stay awake and whatever else. Be kind to yourself. [00:46:48] Take care.

[00:00:27] Started in 1994. And you've got several other letters after your name. I thought it was KFA, but you said it was No, it wasn't KFA. FKA, as my mum always says, fucking know all, uh, excuse my language, but no, a fellow of the societies, I was the youngest, uh, BIPP licensorship and MPA, uh, licentiate when I was just 17 years old, so two years into the industry, I'm also the CEO of Click Backdrops and Click Live, a new expo launching at Stoney Park, Coventry, this June. Tell me why you've come to the photography show. So it's all about brand awareness. Clip Backdrops, uh, exhibits at all of the major trade shows in the, in the world. [00:01:04] We do about 100, 000 miles with my partner in crime, Gary Hill. He's got more letters after his name than the alphabet, and Gary and I love doing the trade shows because it gets our British made, award winning product in the hands of creative photographers, so they can see the difference of why they're investing in a quality product. [00:01:23] Why do you love this photography industry of ours so much? I love it because it's changing. I love being in an industry where we make money from giving people creative memories for people, creating art. I love the fact that being the owner of a company, I'm in control and I can pivot in a heartbeat in which direction I want to take my company. [00:01:44] And that's one of the problems that a lot of British photographers don't do is pivot enough and change quickly enough. But being a small company, we're very quick at changing. We can actually have an idea to marketplace sometimes within a week. [00:01:57] And if there's one thing you could change about the photography industry that we know so well, what would it be? [00:02:03] Well, I'm going to hone in on the British photography industry, and what we need to change is we need to get British photographers getting more educated. Uh, as Big Dog Damien once said, the better, the easiest way to make more money as a photographer is to be a better photographer. I completely agree with that. Visiting ten U. S. expos a year, these expos sometimes start at 7am and these photographers are in classes and learning till midnight every single day. And that's one of the reasons that my team and I have launched Click Live, a brand new, uh, educational expo launching Stony Park, Coventry this June, where we've brought in the biggest educators from around the world. I mean, we've got Lindsay Adler, we've got Chris Knight, but we've also got other educators that have never even taught before in Europe, like Kimberly Smith, one of the world's best digital artists. So we want to give British photographers and European photographers, the opportunity to learn, hone in their craft and get better. Because the better you are, the more money you should make out of photography. It's as simple as that. [00:03:04] Brilliant. And I have to say, it's an honour and a privilege to be a very small part of that operation. I'm very... [00:03:09] ...an important part of that. Not a small part, an important Don't sell yourself short, Paul. You're an important part as we launch Clickmasters, a digital and print competition. And the nice thing about our print competition? Our educators at the show are not allowed to enter. So they're there to mentor and help and, and train, but they can't enter this year's competition. [00:03:33] Excellent. Well, I'll tell you what, I'm beyond excited about it. [00:03:36] Thanks for talking to me, Charlie. See you I'm Paul. And this is the mastering portrait photography podcast. [00:03:43] Can you believe it? 150. Episodes honestly. I never really thought about it when I set this thing going about six years ago and here we are. 150 episodes later. I thought, I think I thought it would just be somewhere where I could get things off my chest -a sort of passive therapist, I suppose, and let's face it, we all need one of those mine, well, mine, just happens to be a microphone. [00:04:29] Since then I've muttered about, oh, so many things, have interviewed all sorts of people and received well, many and varied emails. I've also been told I do have a face for radio, and that even happened again, today. [00:04:46] But I'll take those little wins when people tell me they find the podcast either interesting or at the very least, something that passes time on a journey. Anyway, that interview was with the wonderful Charlie Koufman, who not only is the owner of Click Backdrops, which are brilliant and British. I will put the link in the show notes, but it's also the inspiration behind the upcoming Click Live convention, Which you will all be hearing about. In the coming months and I cannot wait to see you there. [00:05:16] So here we are, it's April. And how are you? Did you have a good weekend? I hope you did. Sarah and I went down to Plymouth in Devon, Southern England. As well more almost as far south as you can get. In the UK with Harriet, our daughter and had a wonderful weekend with my in-laws. [00:05:36] We drank a little beer. We ate a little chocolate, actually, we ate a lot of chocolates. We bought some Devon fudge and we painted some pottery. Yep. You heard that right. We went pottery painting. It was Sarah's idea. She wanted to do something that was a little different, maybe a little creative pass a couple of hours. [00:05:55] The weather wasn't predictable. It wasn't bad. It wasn't good. It was just well crazy. And so we headed inside to do a little pottery painting. And apart from a very slight mismatch in how things were explained to us,- it turns out, I guess I've got a face that looks like a primary school child, as the explanations were to put it mildly a little basic, but I guess in the end, the heart and soul were very much where they should be. [00:06:26] And we had a blast. [00:06:29] Well, at least we did, as long as we dab-dab-dabbed, and we didn't wipe-wipe-wipe because if we were caught wipe-wipe-wiping There would be ter-ouble. We would be shown the error of our ways and instructed to get back to that dab-dab-dabbing. Anyway, it turns out I'm pretty good at dab-dab-dabbidy-dab-dabbing. [00:06:48] And I spent nearly two hours, literally dubbing black glaze onto a pot, on which I could then paint a wintery woods, kinda scene. [00:06:58] Harriet and Sarah. Well, they're a little more subtle with their craft with gentle blues and teals, little tiny flowers and spots of detail. Subtle understated, gloriously sophisticated. While mine was anything but that, but Hey, I need a new pen pot. As I have knocked my tin mug off the desk, yet again, today. And I really do need something that is seriously heavy, preferably black and well, it'd be nice if it was something that was a little unique. I'll get no points for subtlety, but I'll get plenty for the drama. [00:07:32] And since it's been a long, long bank holiday weekend, there isn't too much to report on the diary of a working pro front, at least not in terms of shoots because we took the weekend away, took the time off. And so we haven't been shooting that much. [00:07:48] We have had a couple of portrait sessions Hearing Dogs, just Hearing Dogs, brilliant, fun as always. And a one-to-one workshop here at our studio. And I love. Workshops. And I love this one in particular. A guy called Dave came down. And we spent the day creating, I think, well, I think. I think some magic, two of my clients now for models, we always use our clients. We don't usually use professional models because at the end of the day training photographers with models sets the sets an expectation that it's always going to be that easy. [00:08:24] And of course it's never that easy. So Charlene and Katie came in as our models for the day. And while they may not be professional models , they are both just splendidly, photogenic, and more importantly, incredible people to spend time, laughing with working with and playing with light around. [00:08:42] And I love, I do genuinely love these one to ones. Because they are entirely bespoke, they're entirely creative. We have the time to sit and answer any questions. We can explore ideas and let, well, let the client just guide us, which is exactly what we did. And the images that we finished up with well, everything I ever set out to do. Had such a blast. Dave was brilliant and I hope he went away with the same amount of energy that I've come away with. Just that idea that tomorrow, well tomorrow, we're going to create some magic. And as low, we haven't shot that much in the studio this week, well, next week is a whole different story. And there is going to be well busy, but while we haven't shot much this week, there is still a ton going on. [00:09:32] Today in particular had my kitlist through from Elinchrom, which is really exciting. I'm still sort of working out what we really need, but it looks like we have it almost nailed down. The big decision is around the Elinchrom Threes. Now I've sorted out the Fives, we're going to get four of those and they will be almost permanently in studio I think. But the Threes are really quite exciting though. There, there are about 250 Watt seconds, so about half that just a little over half that of the fives. But I think they'll be massively useful when I'm out on location. They are big enough to do some serious work and small enough that I can pop them in a bag and have them with me. [00:10:15] So. [00:10:15] I'll let you know, as soon as that kicks in, I'm sure there will be videos, a little bits and pieces going on and I can't wait to do it. [00:10:21] Another email that came in this morning. And it's one. I reacted to really quickly. Practical Magic and Innovations emailed in. Now you'll probably know them is P M I. And they're the guys who make the incredible Smoke Ninja and Smoke Genie smoke machines. The fog machines they've been in touch. And wanted us to help them get the word out about a competition they're running and I'll put the links to the competition in the show notes again. But basically it's an international competition, a photographic competition, but it must feature the use of either the Smoke Ninja. Oh, the Smoke Genie. [00:10:59] Now I'm already a fan, of course of the Smoke Ninja is the one that I bought as part of the Kickstarter agreement, so I'm already a big fan and I've spoken about this on the podcast before. I love the thing, I think it's genius. It should be called the Smoke Genius, but it's great. And I know one or two of you have already bought one of these based on my recommendation. It's great fun to play with. [00:11:21] It's not that expensive. The fog that it gives out is hugely controllable and incredibly photogenic. So given there's a few of you with these things, of course, I have agreed, to put the word out about the competition. Once again, show notes will be the place to go, but I'm going to even, I'm going to enter it this time. [00:11:38] You have to create some images and also show some behind the scenes. I'm guessing it's a great opportunity, for them to get both the finished pictures and pictures of their Smoke Genie or Smoked Ninja in use price is pretty big. There's about $10,000 of them and some big names involved. So why not head to them? [00:11:57] I'll put the link up why not head to them and have a look? [00:12:00] Not only that, but I got an email this morning. From data color, who've shipped some kit for me to review. That'll come up in some future episodes, our to use the Datacolor photo Checkr, which is brilliant. [00:12:12] It's part of our workflow anyway, but they're going to send me the updated version as well as the cube, which looks like to me, I haven't used this thing yet. I'll let you know once I actually use it properly, but it looks to me like it allows for backlight to be measured to white balance of backlight to be measured as well. Which looks like good, fun. Because we use a lot of mixed lighting. But not only that they are going to send me the video checker as well. Which allows us to color calibrate as part of our video workflow. [00:12:39] Now I'm not big in video yet, but we are having to learn how to do it, and one of the things that constantly frustrates me is I can't seem to get the colors, as I want them a lot of homework to do. I need to understand video color spaces air slog, and the like, but I'll have the video color checker from Datacolor in the toolkit, and that hopefully will be a small part of the puzzle. I've not only understanding but controlling it. The color. These, I think these products will appear properly in a future podcast once I've had a chance to play with them and understand, I understand quite what I'm talking about. Cause I'm not a video guy. I need to go and ask some video guys about the best way of using it. A quick update on ACDSee, just again, a reminder. I am not paid by any of these people ACDSee sent me a license to have a play with and I've kept my word. [00:13:32] I've used it. I still use it. I love it. I absolutely love it. I guess I'm not paid, but they have given me a license for. I think the license for the Apple. For the Mac, that is about 60, 70, quid. The speed of ACDSee is absolutely blistering and I love working with it. Haven't quite worked out how to get the very best out of it. [00:13:50] As it turns out 300,000 images with the facial recognition turned on, maybe pushing the upper limits of our network and my machine. But I still love having it there alongside everything else I do in Lightroom. It's so quick. It's so handy. I love the way it just works or interacts in with the file system, which means I can always have, I've always got access to files, to drag and drop, throw them up onto Facebook, throw them up onto Instagram, put them into designs. [00:14:18] It's just really useful. It's the kind of software you feel almost. Should be built into the operating system, but isn't, it's just so natural to use. Absolutely love it again. As I get my head around that I'll give you more, more updates. [00:14:31] Right. So where are we? Let's have a think about my thought for today. Now this one. Is about signing your work or singeing your work. As it was the first three times I wrote it down, signing, not singeing. [00:14:47] Don't singe your work. That is no good to anybody signing your work. I heard someone say a while ago this couple of years ago. That signing your work is pretentious. [00:15:00] And all I can say is what utter, utter, bullshit. [00:15:06] Sorry. I'm sorry. I know, I know. I shouldn't be emphatic in such a way. Everyone's got their own way of doing things and each to their own. But just occasionally something pops up that is purely, and simply, bullshit. This is one of them. [00:15:24] Sign your work. [00:15:26] If I could write a song called cite your work. It sounded a bit like Sunscreen. Maybe I should figure that out. Sign your work. [00:15:34] My dad taught me many years ago. That you should sign everything. Now my Dad was a wise guy is so many ways an idiot. It's so many others, but a wonderful human being. And this was one where I think he was absolutely right. He said, sign it. And when I said, why well he said, firstly, well, why not? But he also said you do it because you never quite know who might see it, in the future. Isn't that the truth. [00:16:03] So I was working at British Steel, in my early twenties as a work placement, my dad was working there. As well, he ran all of the competing and I got a work placement in their design office. And as part of that, they asked me to create some huge 3d visuals of the galvanizing plants that shot and steelworks British steel. [00:16:24] And there's this, they have these coatings lines where they take a coil of steel and they'd run it through the line and coat it with either a plastic coat or some paint coat, but the line I was really interested in coated it. With zinc. It was the hot dip galvanizing line. And this line was around about three quarters of a mile long. [00:16:43] It was huge. [00:16:45] And they wanted me to create some 3d drawings of it. Now this is going back before we would simply have done all of it in 3d CAD and rendered it. They wanted 3d drawings. But they were then going to go off to an airbrusher to go into British Steel's brochures. So my job was to create the line work, the art, the sort of the technical drawing work. [00:17:08] But the best way of doing that was is it happened to create a 3d model of it. But back then, we're talking about really early versions of AutoCAD and the output of AutoCAD. Wasn't very controllable and it certainly didn't create appealing visuals. What it did do though, is give me these huge, A0 printouts that I could then place a piece of tracing paper over the top and much the same way as a comic artist inks in over the pencil. From the original illustrator I then inked it. And that created these really beautiful. [00:17:40] I thought they were beautiful anyway - these really beautiful. Inked drawings of these vast lines that could be annotated and airbrushed by a graphic design team. And I signed them. And I signed him just in case somebody else saw them. Somebody did, and I got more work from it. I've got a lot of plaudits for my work as well, all because they saw my signature and asked who Paul was. [00:18:07] Now it doesn't work for everybody, I guess. But here at the studio we sign every frame and every album that goes out, it's got our brand on it. That signature. Is our brand just like Apple or Jaguar or Pepsi, Tiffany, Nikon or even the guys I worked with a little bit more regularly, like Elinchrom, or even PMI who've emailed today. It's their logo and that represents their brand. [00:18:38] Now, if you're putting work out there without your logo or your signature on it, not only are you missing an important opportunity, an important opportunity that might just lead to more work might just lead to a brand recognition, like we've built . But I also think you're quietly saying you're not really proud of what you do. The signature we put on our work says I am proud of it. Really proud of it. Every time. Every time we create something here. We ask ourselves the question. Are we happy to put the Paul Wilkinson photography signature -my signature. On it. And if the answer to that is not clear. [00:19:21] Cut. Yes, of course. Then that piece of work never goes near a client. Ever. The brand custodian side of our business is all about that signature and being proud. To put it on our work, being proud to say, yep, I've seen that. But at work. I think that warrants a signature and I'm very happy for other people to see it too. [00:19:42] Now is that pretentious? Well, I suppose you could argue it is, but I don't think it is. I think what it's saying is I'm really proud of what we've done. I'm really proud of the effort we've put into it. And I don't think that's pretentious. Pretentions come from almost the opposite from trying to be something you're not, that's not what your signature is, your signature or your logo represent you and they represent your values and they represent your brand. They're everything you stand by and you stand for. Now, if you think your logo screams pretentions, then, well, maybe you need to adjust quite what you believe in and what your brand stands for, but from where I'm sat. I think you should sign every single bit of your work. [00:20:32] Anyway, I'll get down off my soap box. Sorry about that just sometimes, you know, just sometimes there are things I think we have to just get off our chest. And when it comes to your signature sign, your work, people sign your work. [00:20:45] Don't listen to what anybody else says. Get that signature on there. You never know who might be watching. Anyway. 150 episodes. One or two of you have listened to all of them. One or two of you have listened to all of them in the past 60 days. I did have an email from someone this week. And it said they've been working their way through them at a rate of a little over two episodes a day. And they are 50 something days in and heading towards catching up. [00:21:15] I think that's absolutely, hilarious. Flattering and lovely, but well, slightly hilarious. Thank you for listening. Thank you for listening to the end of this particular episode. I hope as always there's something of use or if nothing else. It's got you to work in your car and you can now switch the radio off and go face the day knowing there are other people out there feeling and thinking the same things as you.

早安，我是叶梓，今天是摄影早自习陪伴大家的第2069天。真的是好久好久没见了，十来天我没录早自习了，原因我想大家应该也都猜到了，不就是因为感染了新冠病毒嘛。发烧中的李杜宇 © 叶梓我自己就发了一天烧，其实恢复的还挺快的，但是后来家人就感染了。首先是我媳妇，第二天感染的，一个星期以后我老妈感染了，再过一天小麦麦就发烧了，就这么轮下来。昨天终于是开车从北京回到了湖南，因为爷爷、奶奶、外公、外婆还在湖南呢，所以我们赶回来也就比较放心一点，能有个照顾。我和我媳妇已经是完全转阴了，请大家放心，各位同学也一定要自己多多注意身体。在房间隔离的李杜宇正透过窗口陪麦麦做作业 © 叶梓今天咱们恢复早自习第一天，我就干脆还是跟大家讲讲新冠感染期间的一些经验体会，或许能提供一点点帮助。首先就是大家最好是要备一点退烧药，成人的、孩子的，尤其是孩子的，因为小朋友如果特别小的话，高温容易引起惊厥。退烧药其实挺管用，但是也不能随便吃，谨遵医嘱或者是看说明书来服用。只要退烧药备到了，我觉得其他的药就不用那么紧张了，有的话更好，实在没有的话其实也不用紧张。我自己的经验就是喝水超管用，但是不是喝白开水，就是里边放点柠檬、放点蜂蜜、放点盐，就是电解质水，喝起来嗓子也舒服，然后恢复的也会非常的快。所以大家如果现在还在阴着的话，赶紧可以准备一点这种东西放在手边不远的地方，因为到时候真的烧起来的时候，你走路还是挺困难的，挺累的，手边就有，也容易冲泡的话，就会方面很多。带着口罩的一家人 © 叶梓另外就是要多注意自己的身体各项指标。体温要勤着一点监测，因为它有时候窜上来的速度还是挺快的，早点发现就早点用药。血氧也是关键指标，大家可以通过手表、手环或者是买那种血氧仪（很便宜的，几十块钱，很多药店都有卖）监测自己的血氧水平，一般97、98、99都比较常见，如果是95再往下，那就一定是要去医院就医了，因为那有可能是你的肺部的功能就被影响了。另外我们也确实是比较幸运，就是一大家子好像在嗓子疼这个问题上没有疼到那个份上，没有那么恐怖。不过我们这些经验因为咱都不是学医的，所以也就仅能给大家一个参考，大家还是要谨遵医嘱，看看专家是怎么说的。总之，我就是想给大家打打气，熬一熬都能熬过去，这个问题不会特别大，该做的准备做好，该小心的事情小心到，然后有必要的时候一定要及时就医，问题不大，我们很快就能迎来一个美好的春天了。在驱车回长沙的路上，麦麦依然在坚持上网课、做作业 © 叶梓在我一开始停播摄影早自习的那几天里面，我也收到了一些同学的建议，说盼着叶老师自拍一下，看看自己染疫的这个过程是什么一个状态，应该做个纪念。同学们有这个想法我真的特别开心，因为摄影人就该有这个心气儿，可是我就是没那个力气了呀。我第一天烧到39度的时候，手机都举不起来，真的是没怎么拍照片。后来我自己好一点了，我就给我媳妇、给孩子拍了一点纪念的照片，不多，也不能成为组照，但单拿出来那还真的是一个回忆，是一个值得我们去拍一拍的事情。所以同学们如果还能拍得动，还能拿得起相机、手机，也给自己的生活多多记录一下吧，每一天都是不会重复的，不管是好的还是坏的，不管是开心的还是难受的一天，其实都值得纪念。而且同学们到这个时候，你们应该能特别特别理解我以前说过的一句话了，我说：你想要表达人的这种人性的韧性，表达他的光明的一面，那一定是要记录他所遇到的困难的。这也像是之前我在短视频里面说的一句话，我当时说：正是因为有黑暗，人们才会去追求光明。19个小时的旅途，七喜也从最开始的兴奋变得疲惫 © 叶梓最后是一个让人开心的好消息，我们的咔图深圳摄影会又准备要举办年会了。真的是一个活力满满的城市，我们会在12月31号，就是在今年的最后一天晚上的5:30，相约在深圳的无忧餐厅。我们依然会有大量的赞助商提供的丰富奖品，包括艺卓、富士、Datacolor、雅昌影像，七工匠、南光、绿巨能、闪客、优篮子等等品牌都大力赞助了我们的年会。我呢也当然还是会出席，我会开车来到深圳和大家相聚。同学们如果都康复了，就出来玩玩吧，我们好久没见了。这一次的年会也是我觉得最有意义的，最与众不同的一次。刚好在这个时间点，真的是让人不得不感叹一下深圳的活力，让我们一起相聚在今年的最后一天，让我们一起迎来明年的第一天。欢迎你来参加活动，你可以扫描语音下方的海报里的二维码，联系深圳摄影会的理事来报名参加，你也可以点击今天的第二条图文链接，来了解我们的年会详情。好，今天我们就聊到这里。各位有更多的摄影问题，也欢迎都在底部留言，我会尽量为您解答。希望在未来的日子里面，我们能继续相伴，恢复我们每天早上的学习。我是叶梓，每天早上6:30，微信公众号以及喜马拉雅的“摄影早自习”栏目，不见不散。

早安，我是叶梓，今天是摄影早自习陪伴大家的第1955天。咱们EIZO杯摄影大赛在这周五就要截止征稿了，有的同学反映说：老师，你那个征稿要求能不能给我解说一下？可以啊，而且我们还能从中学到不少知识呢。好吧，我们一个一个来看一下。首先，这是一个不限主题的征稿，投稿题材不限，拍摄的器材不限，后期的技法也不限，也就是说这就是一个艺术摄影的比赛。它不像是新闻摄影比赛那样，严格地要求说你不能PS，不能增减事物等等之类的，也不会像风光摄影或者是人像摄影比赛那样，对整个照片拍的是什么有所要求。换句话说就是自由发挥吧。Photo by wong zihoo on Unsplash第二条和第三条要求每人只限三幅作品，并且只是单幅照片，不接受组照。这里我们可以学到的是：哦，原来我们拍作品有两种基本的展现形式，一个是单张的，一张照片就是一个故事，一张照片就是一个主题。还有一种是通过多张照片共同组成组照，组照一般也得十来张往上走，对吧？大的可能有上百张成为一组，形成一个画册或者是一个展览。但是这次比赛中我们只要求你投三张照片，每张照片之间是没有关系的，甚至是可以独立的。那么每张照片我们在投稿时都会要你写上一个照片标题，那个标题肯定是跟主题有关的。Photo by Mylene Tremoyet on Unsplash第四点要求说，这个照片投稿的时候长边不小于2000像素。本质上来讲，这一条其实是对照片清晰度的要求，你的照片很大、很清晰，那很好啊，直接上传就好了。但是如果要小照片的话，文件不太大的话，那它的最长的那条边，比如说横着拍的照片的长边和竖着拍的照片的高的那条边，它不能小于2000像素。这是一个在网络上的摄影比赛的基础要求，因为小于2000像素，画面就一定会显得很模糊，在手机屏幕上看可能都看不太清楚。我们之前还聊到过另一种比赛的要求，那种比赛会说：你这个照片必须多少兆以上，我们当时专门花了一期早自习来提醒大家，这个多少兆，它是对文件大小的要求，跟照片本身的清晰度并没有那么直接的关系。所以更专业、更标准的要求，确实应该是要求长边或宽边的像素或者是整个照片的像素总量，而不是去要求文件的大小，因为同样像素总量的作品，文件大小也可能会有巨大差异的。在Lightroom中显示的部分Exif信息第七点的要求说，如果获了奖，那么我们需要获奖者提供他的带有Exif信息的未压缩原始图片，来证明这是您拍的照片。这里面信息量可大了去了，我们可以学到好多东西。首先什么叫Exif信息呢？就是数码相机在拍照片的时候，照片里面不仅会记录着图像的内容，而且还会记录一些其它的文本信息。比如说这是什么相机拍的呀？什么镜头拍的呀？它的机身序列号是哪个呀？它是几年几月几号几点几分拍摄的呀？甚至是它会记录您的经纬度的坐标信息，如果您的相机带有GPS功能的话。那我们平时在分享照片的时候，一般都会先把Exif信息给去掉再上传照片，为什么呢？就是怕泄露隐私嘛，万一根据这个经纬度找到你家门口来，不是很吓人的一件事情嘛。就算没有坐标，但是如果看到您用了相机的什么序列号啊，镜头的序列号啊，到时候来冒充您的身份是不是也是一挺麻烦的事情啊。所以一般我们会去掉Exif信息，留一个干净的图片，然后再上传到网上去分享。但是作为比赛来说，如果你已经获了奖，你就得证明这照片是我拍的呀，这个时候提供Exif信息，就可以做一个很大程度上的证明，因为可能别人照片您获取不了这些信息，因为他也不愿意分享给你嘛。另外这里面对应的什么相机序列号，镜头序列号以及经纬度坐标等等信息，它肯定是能证明身份的，你可以证明这个相机是我买的，是吧？我的机身还在手里呢，它有序列号的，这就是基本上可以证明这照片是你自己拍的了。所以这个小段落里面，我们至少可以学到两点特别重要的事：第一个就是以后分享照片先去掉这个信息，再来分享，保护你自己的隐私。另外就是原始图片千万别删，因为那里面含有Exif信息，它是证明您的这个照片的版权的。Photo by Vincentas Liskauskas on Unsplash你看多有意思，在一个比赛的征稿要求中，我们都能学到这么多的知识点。还不包括您如果参加比赛，我们会有一场专门的直播讲座来点评大家的作品，您的照片很有可能就会被我点评，我们又可以学到更多的摄影知识了。再加上咱们这一次的比赛奖品真是非常非常的丰厚，除了有艺卓提供的专业且昂贵的显示器，还有富士胶片、Datacolor、七工匠和雅昌影像提供的奖品。奖品诱人，比赛又是免费的，获奖难度还不高，还不赶紧来试试。在今天的微信公众号“摄影早自习”的第三条图文链接戳进去，就可以看到比赛详情，奖品详情以及戳第三条图文链接的“阅读原文”就可以开始投稿。别忘了在明天（周四）的晚上八点钟，我有一个免费的直播讲座，讲的是“教您拍出夏日感满满的人像照片”，喜欢的同学不要错过。语音下方有一个很清爽的海报，扫描那个二维码就可以进入我们的微信群来预约参加直播。今天是摄影早自习陪伴大家的第1955天，我是叶梓，每天早上6:30，微信公众号“摄影早自习”，不见不散。

参加EIZO杯摄影大赛１、关注公众号：摄影早自习２、回复：比赛早安，我是叶梓，今天是摄影早自习陪伴大家的第1953天。对，不是早安了，今天早自习又晚了一点，中午发的，抱歉。那么今天讲的这个内容是大家都用得着的，是在家里边拍那种生活记录类的照片到底用什么镜头的问题。我以前老给大家推荐35mm，因为35mm它进可攻退可守，用人话讲就是我凑近一点也能拍一个比较小的场景，但是退远一点也能拍到整个家里的布局啊、环境啊，交代得比较清楚，属于一个我自己最喜欢用的镜头。但是我后来也慢慢发现35mm确实不见得适合所有人，主要应该是两个原因：第一个是因为它视角太广了，太偏向于广角镜头，它同时能拍到的东西太多了，所以在构图上会比较难掌握，属于那种适合做复杂构图，不太适合做减法构图的这么一种镜头。第二个原因就是因为35mm它毕竟是偏广角，所以它景深比较大，很难说把背景模糊到一个非常非常简洁的程度。那么家庭记录除了35mm还有什么选择呢？其实我之前也尝试过50mm，说实话，这曾经是我最喜欢的镜头之一，在十几二十年前，但是现在我对它没什么感觉了。最近机缘巧合的七工匠给我搞了一支75mm f/1.25光圈的大光圈中长焦头，用了用，唉？发现它好像在室内、在家庭环境中也可以用来记录，而且那个画面效果刚好能跟35mm拉出差距，互为补充。© 叶梓我们来看看这两张照片，一看你就能感觉到：哇，这个是减法构图的镜头。一张是小麦麦同学在她那个小帐篷里面玩的时候我拍的一个画面。你可以看到，这个画面基本上都是由各种各样的三角形构成，而且它只有那么三件东西：帐篷、人和背景的白书柜，其他的甚至连垫子你都看不到。这个构图够减法吧，因为它视角狭窄，实际上我身后就靠着书柜了，我也没法往后退了，拍出来的画面自然而然就这么简洁。与此同时，它的虚化效果也确实比较明显，这跟它是大光圈有关，但是也跟它是中长焦镜头有关。这个时候我对焦是对在了那个球球上面的，故意的把人物做了点虚化，刚好她的手伸向这个球球，所以手基本上也是清楚的。所以现在除了帐篷和人物的手以外，其他东西都是模糊的。© 叶梓让我们再来看看第二张照片。这张照片比刚才那个场景要复杂一些，是我在客厅里隔着窗户在拍卧室里的你们的师娘的样子，对吧？你会看到这个画面中其实是有很多遮挡的东西的，前景就是窗户，然后还有背景的床，还有右上角懒人支架，右下方还有床头、枕头、被子，左下角其实就是我们客厅里的餐桌，餐桌上还堆着乱七八糟的东西，但现在反正都是一团模糊，啥也看不清楚。唯一能看清楚的其实只有三个物体，就是人物、镜子和背后的懒人支架。因为他们三者都在屋面的附近，所以就都是清楚的。当然了，现在大家也能感受得到了，这个方面的简洁并不只是由什么背景虚化和前景虚化带来的，其实视角的狭窄也起到了很大的作用。讲白了下边的桌子上没拍着什么东西，是吧？上边也没拍到什么东西，四周的东西都被构图构在画面之外了。所以今天我就想给大家一个新的推荐，如果你觉得35mm的镜头拍起照来实在是有点难，那么你也可以考虑一下75mm用来记录自己的生活。唯一要特别小心的是，因为这种镜头实在是拍照太简洁了，所以你得想办法在画面中多塞点东西，像我一样塞个框框啊，塞个什么别的东西的，让画面丰富起来，才更像是真的生活的样子，因为谁家也不会干净的像宾馆一样，对吧？35mm时，可能你要小心一点，多做减法，但是在75mm时，你可能要小心一点，多做加法。好，今天我们就简单聊这么多，别忘了咱们的EIZO杯摄影大赛，现在进入最后5天的投稿倒计时了，这次咱们的奖品非常的丰厚，有艺卓、有富士胶片、有Datacolor、雅昌还有七工匠所赞助的各种各样的丰厚奖品，各位同学就不要错过了。直接在今天的微信公众号第二条图文链接戳进去，就可以看到我们的比赛规则和投稿的链接，你也可以点这个帖子底部“阅读原文”，直接进入投稿界面。除了有大奖，我还会在比赛后抽个时间来点评大家的作品，期待你的投稿。今天是摄影早自习陪伴大家的第1953天，我是叶梓，每天早上6:30，微信公众号“摄影早自习”，不见不散。

【色彩管理课】手机或电脑登录“网易云课堂”，搜索“色彩管理”每个颜色都有三个围度，三个维度上都有可能偏色。早安，我是叶梓，今天是摄影早自习陪伴大家第1486天。今天要给大家挑战一下了，讲个难度题——色彩科学。有人想说叶老师我们来学摄影能不能只学“色彩”不学“科学”？对不起，色彩就是个科学，所以你不学不行。富士小俏印II 图片来源：富士中国官网佳能 CP1300 图片来源：佳能官方线上商城好吧，还是讲个事由，就是为什么想讲这个呢？是因为我这有两台打印机，一个是叫做富士小俏印二代，一个是叫做佳能的CP1300。这两台打印机都很类似，都是小幅面的是6寸照片大小，就是我们平时在快印店里面印那种小照片大小，而且它们都是热升华打印机，而且它们都可以有电池，就是可以带出去，比如旅行过程中随意打印。这两个打印机太类似了，所以我就好奇了一把，想把它们俩来做一个科学的评测，来测量它们的色彩表现的问题。其实具体的测量结果我已经放在今天的二条里了，大家感兴趣的可以戳进去慢慢看，是长图文，请大家做好心理准备。但是它很有意思，就是我把照片原图和这两个打印机打印出来的软打样的色彩的表现结果给放在一起来进行仔细的比对，这个很练眼力的，你会发现好多细微差别你可能是看不太出来的。你可以去试试，就当个视力测试题，看看自己到底视力如何，能不能看出我说的那些区别来。Datacolor Spyder Print 图片来源：Datacolor官网同时你也能在这个文章的顶部看到我的测试思路。我是动用了一个仪器，叫做Datacolor的Spyder Print的这个仪器来测量这两个打印机，然后测量出来发现这两个打印机确实它各自有各自的一个颜色偏差。那么有人可能比较好奇，就是我们非得把这个事搞得这么复杂吗？我们难道不能简单打印两张照片来做肉眼上的对比吗？对不起，凡是跟你声称我是火眼金睛，一看就知道这个打印机颜色是怎么样的一个偏差状况的人，我觉得你就算了……这个朋友或许可以交，但是学术上的尤其关于色彩上的交流就到此为止了，好吧。因为不可能有这样的人，我们的大脑在理解色彩的时候都是用对比的方式理解的。不只是理解色彩，理解距离、理解明暗，我们的大脑都是用一种对比的方式来理解的，它没有一个绝对的测量的可能性。所以你这个朋友如果坚称他能测量色彩——用他的肉眼就能，那……这是个挺危险的事，你自己想想。好吧，所以我们没有能力去用肉眼测量，那就只能靠仪器测量。测量完以后，我们可以在后期的软件里面打印的时候去套用我的测量结果，使得最后打印结果变得比较正确。Datacolor48色色卡 图片来源：datacolor旗舰店而这个时候让我想起另一个话题，就是前两天我直播的时候有个同学在问说：叶老师，你为什么要用色板——48色的标准色板去测量你的相机的偏色状况，然后要在导入照片的时候套用这个测量结果，套用这个icc文件来矫正你的相机的偏色呢？你为什么不能直接在相机菜单里去设置色彩的风格来矫正相机的偏色呢？我真做不到。为什么呢？现在我就要跟你讲，划重点了，我们今天终于进入正题，有两个方面的原因：色相的变化 © 叶梓第一，色彩有三个维度。它的第一个维度叫做色相，就是红橙黄绿青蓝紫，这每一个颜色有自己的名字，它属性发生根本改变了，这个是色相。红色的明度变化 © 叶梓第二个是明度，就是这个画面的颜色的亮度，就是红色偏亮就是叫粉红，偏暗就叫什么深红或者血红，反正就是偏暗偏亮，这个是明度变化。红色的饱和度变化 © 叶梓第三个维度变化叫饱和度，这是一个偏灰的蓝色，还是一个很艳很艳的蓝色，这是饱和度或者叫纯度。那么这三个色彩的维度是完全不一样的，所以你每一次说这个颜色不正的时候，实际上有可能是它的色相不正，明度不对，或者是纯度不对。那你现在已知你的相机也好，打印机也好，它的颜色有偏差，我请问你怎么样判断它这个颜色有什么样的偏差，它在哪个维度上有多少的偏差？这个只有仪器做得到。那么这个色彩的偏差，我在相机里边能够矫正吗？大体来说是可以的。比如说白平衡和色调确实可以控制整个照片的色相的偏差。而曝光补偿——就是照片的明暗，是可以控制色彩的明度的偏差。最后是饱和度，饱和度有的相机有这个菜单，比如说什么鲜艳模式啊，什么标准模式啊，这个其实就是控制饱和度。另外就是有的相机可能更细致一点，直接有色彩饱和度的选项可以控制，这个或许是有。但是接下来这个问题，相机的内置菜单的调整就完全是搭不上边了，没有办法解决了。是什么问题呢？就是你有没有意识到色彩有很多种，而相机的色彩的偏差，每一种颜色都偏向了不同方向，有不同的偏差值。比如说这个相机的红色，它的色相偏了、纯度偏了、明度偏了，但接下来它的绿色这三个值也偏，但是不是向同一个方向偏。红色可能偏亮了，绿色可能偏暗了，我请问你，你在相机菜单里怎么调？调不了的。所以我们要靠仪器来做，要靠诸如Datacolor SpyderCHECKR48色的色板这样的东西来测量相机的每一种颜色的偏色状况。测完以后你生成了一个文件，这个文件被你存下来，放在你的Lighrtoom里面，每次照片导入的时候，你只要指定用这个文件，Lighrtoom就可以反向的校准你这个相机的色彩偏差，最后得到一个非常准确的值。Datacolor Spyder Print检测打印出来色块 图片来源：Datacolor官网打印机也是一样的。我们另打印机打印出来很多很多种小色块，然后去测量这些小色块的颜色偏差，最后我们就能得到这台打印机它的icc文件，我们在打印之前就可以选择这个icc文件再打印，它其实就做了一个反向的校准，令这个打印机打印出来相对比较正确的色彩。最后回到我们最初的话题，这个富士打印机和佳能的打印机，它俩之间色彩的区别其实真的是非常非常的细微的，而且这个区别它绝对不能是非常笼统的就被概括的。比如说富士的偏冷，佳能偏暖，是有这样的趋势，但是仔细一看，这里边有非常多的细微的，也不能说是不可描述的吧，但是至少是非常难以描述的变化，它的每一种颜色都朝着不同的方向——刚刚我们说的色彩的三个维度上有了偏差。具体的偏色状况，我还是请大家去看我今天的微信公众号“摄影早自习”下方挂着的第二条图文链接，里面有详细的描述。不过这里我要嘱咐一点，就是你的屏幕很可能是不准的，如果你现在正捧着手机或者是未经校准的非专业的显示器来看这些照片的话，你看到的色彩或许跟我在五万六千块的艺卓显示器上看到的色彩会相当的不一样，所以你在比较的时候也不要太认真，除非你也做过了整套的色彩管理的工作。好吧，说了这么多，今天的早自习我们总结两点，说了一大堆，可能你们听不懂的东西不重要，重要的是你至少要知道两个知识点：第一，色彩有三个维度，它分别是色相、明度和纯度，而我们口头所说的偏色了，其实很可能是在这三个维度上同时都发生了偏色。第二个是我们说的偏色了，相机也好、打印机也好还是显示器也好，它不是简单的能被什么偏冷或偏暖，偏青或偏品来表示的，它其实是非常复杂的，每一个颜色都朝着不同的方向，不同的三个维度上在偏色，所以唯有仪器能帮你校准回标准水平，这也从侧面再次印证了色彩管理的这一套科学体系的重要性。如果有同学想学，你就直接戳今天的公众号下方的“阅读原文”进去，这是我的色彩管理课，如果你们已经是“自由摄影师Plus”的学员，那你的课程中已经含有这门课，你就不用重复购买了。好吧，今天的早自习我们就聊到这里，今天是摄影早自习陪伴大家的1486天，我是叶梓，每天早上6:30，微信公众号“摄影早自习”，不见不散。

不同亮度的屏幕对亮部和暗部的显示结果也大为不同。加入【摄影早自习】微信群1、添加叶梓私人微信：katoyezi（暗号：喜马拉雅）2、发送“申请入群”加入【北京/深圳/厦门及闽南地区】摄影小聚1、添加叶梓私人微信：katoyezi2、说明要加入的城市如“北京”【课程顾问微信】hello-kato　　早安，我是叶梓，今天是摄影早自习陪伴大家的第1073天。今天想回答一位名字我不知道该怎么念的同学在早自习下方的留言，他问我说“修图的时候显示屏的亮度应该怎么调？要不要调到最亮？在不同的亮度下修图会不会对照片的修片结果有影响？”　　首先我回答你最后一个问题，不同亮度的屏幕修图对照片是有影响的，而且不仅是屏幕亮度不同，在不同的亮度的环境下修图，哪怕屏幕的亮度是一致的，它对照片也会有影响。为什么会这样子呢？很简单，比如说你躲在被窝里边看手机的时候，眼睛的瞳孔是放的巨大，这个时候屏幕的亮度要关得很暗才不会刺痛你的眼睛。但是不管你关的多暗，在被窝里看起来它都是很亮的。在这个时候如果修图要调曝光的话，你就很有可能会把光线调得太暗，第二天早上爬起来再看的时候，这个图就是黑不溜秋的。　　我再举一个反例，假设你在非常强烈的日光下抱着笔记本电脑修图，因为环境光都极其的强烈，非常刺眼，所以你的瞳孔是缩的很小的。而瞳孔缩小了以后，笔记本电脑的屏幕不管调的多亮，你都会觉得有点看不清楚，有点太暗了，所以修片的时候就很容易把照片调成一个曝光过度的情况。总而言之就是屏幕亮度的不同和环境亮度的不同都会导致我们的修片结果变得很不一样。　　但这只是一方面的问题，另一方面的问题是显示屏在显示的比较暗和显示比较亮的时候，它对灰阶的显示结果是不一样的。比如说显示屏在比较暗的时候，它通常对画面中原本就偏暗的那些事物的显示能力会有所不足，看上去就是糊成一团。不管是深灰色，还是接近于黑的颜色，还是纯黑色都已经变成纯黑了，看不出区别了。而这个时候它对于亮部显示能力，对于中灰色显示能力可能没有太大的区别。为了能让你直观地体验到这个结果，我在下面给了一个灰阶的图表。　　这是0阶到第20阶，0阶我们假设的是白，20阶假设它是黑，那么每一个小方块之间的亮度差异应该是5（CMYK值），也就是说每一个阶梯应该都是同样高的，它们由浅变深的过程应该是非常顺滑的，非常平均的，理论上是这样，但是到了你的手机屏幕上很可能不是这样子的。　　现在请你们跟我一起把手机屏幕的光关到比较暗的程度，然后你再看看这个画面，你会发现17、18、19、20那几个方块基本上就混为一谈了，它们之间的差异明显小于现在在这个光线比较暗的屏幕里看到的亮部的那些阶梯的差异，尤其是第4阶到第10阶之间的差异还是非常明显的，越靠右它们就越接近。　　好，现在你再把屏幕开亮，开到正常的亮度，只要不刺眼就好，你会发现刚才显示结果确实很不对劲。所以我们明白了一个什么道理？就是我们的显示屏在调亮、调暗的过程中，除了整个画面会一起变亮和一起变暗之外，它在不同的亮度的设定下，对于暗部和亮部的显示能力还会发生额外的变化，而这些变化是局部的变化，并不是整个画面一起变亮和变暗那么简单。　　所以这个事情就会变得很复杂，你在看一张照片的时候就很可能看不到它真实的结果，比如说你在弱光条件下把屏幕关的比较暗的来修片，很可能你就会过度调亮暗部细节，因为你总觉得那里面看不清东西，但是在正常的显示亮度下，你会发现暗部已经被调得过亮了。　　所以这真的是一个很复杂的问题，那么我们怎么样可以得知我们的屏幕在什么样的区间内显示是相对比较不出错的呢？如果要最精确的结果，你还是应该去借助色彩管理的设备，由硬件来校准。　　我之前早自习里面反复提到过Datacolor公司的spyder（也就是蜘蛛），这款硬件吸附在你的屏幕上以后，它会非常精确地去测量你的屏幕的显示能力，并且告诉你一个标准值。你的屏幕在这个亮度级别下能够把灰阶显示的最好，能够把每一个亮度都显示到它应有的样子，尤其是Datacolor的最新的那一款，就是Spyder X，它对于灰阶里的暗部的校准真的是比以前的产品又上了很大一个台阶。　　如果你想了解这款产品的话，可以在我们的微信公众号“摄影早自习”底部菜单的最右侧找到“微店”，点进去就可以找到校色仪的设备。　　如果你觉得还不想买这个校色，觉得你的屏幕现在也不够好，不想为它花太多钱，那么我只能告诉你一个非常粗糙的、非常粗犷的值，就是在我见过的屏幕中，一般在50%的亮度到80%的亮度之间，灰阶的显示不会出大的问题。　　除此之外，你还要注意你的修片环境绝对不可以过暗或者是过亮，否则的话你的屏幕打到刚才我推荐的亮度的时候，其实你是看不清屏幕里的东西的。　　好吧，今天的早自习我们就聊这么多，这些知识都属于色彩管理的知识，而色彩管理实际上是我们修片的一个前提条件，是摄影人要确保自己能看到真实的色彩、真实的亮度的一个前提条件，是极其重要的，但是很少有人知道。大家可以期看一看我在网易云课堂里的色彩管理课，我做这门课是抱着普及色彩管理知识的这么一个出发点来做的，所以它的价格真的是很便宜。数码后期三部曲之三《色彩管理及校正》网页或APP登录 网易云课堂 ，搜索“色彩管理”或复制链接：https://study.163.com/course/introduction/928001.htm?share=2&shareId=410008【课程顾问小S微信】hello-kato　　另外618快到了，所以今天和明天咔图摄影教育中心在网易云课堂上有很多课都在进行秒杀的活动，如果你不想错过的话，可以点击今天的公众号底部的第二条图文链接进去看个究竟，像这样的活动错过这一次就要再等一年了。　　好吧，今天是摄影早自习陪伴大家的1073天，我是叶梓，每天早上6:30，微信公众号“摄影早自习”，不见不散。

Twenty years ago, Michael Cohen left a career in corporate finance to join the family business, a somewhat old-school seller of high-end tassels and trims. Cohen, along with his brothers Hymie and Joseph, has turned Samuel & Sons into a thriving, tech-forward business that’s come to define passementerie for the American market. In this episode of the Business of Home podcast, he chats with host Dennis Scully about why he looks to tech companies like Amazon for inspiration, his plan to take the brand international, and why he hopes the industry will become more transparent. This episode is sponsored by Datacolor.

Nassau-based interior designer Amanda Lindroth has a knack for evoking the breezy elegance of island life, wherever she goes—including Guangzhou, China.

Since then, she’s been busy, fine-tuning her collection and growing her brand. In the latest episode of the Business of Home podcast, she chats with host Dennis Scully about her picturesque Florida upbringing, her hiring strategy, and why it’s not what goes wrong—it’s how you react that’s most important.

In this interview, color expert from John Walrath joins me to discuss best practices for achieving accurate color in any situation.

继续回答19位同学有关采购的提问，你也有类似的问题吗？是否能得到些启发？【“双十一”超级充电节】课程优惠　网页或APP登录 网易云课堂 ，搜索“叶梓”或复制链接：https://study.163.com/topics/kato201809【课程咨询】微信：hello-kato加入摄影早自习【微信群】1、添加叶梓私人微信：katoyezi（暗号：喜马拉雅）2、发送“申请入群”　　早安，我是叶梓，今天是摄影早自习陪伴大家的第909天，我快速回答以下同学的有关双11剁手方面的问题。- 闪光灯及附件类 -　　首先我们来看看闪光灯和附件的部分。“不差”同学问我笔记本电脑和手机之间色差比较大，怎么避免？两个字：没救！但是你可以买一个“蜘蛛”——就是Datacolor公司出品的校色仪来校准你的笔记本屏幕，这样一来你就至少有一块屏是标准的，总比两个屏幕都不准确要好得多。推荐：Datacolor Spyder 5校色仪　　"不得了了橙子"和"JHOGG"同学都问到买闪光灯的问题。我首推的是国产的神牛牌闪光灯，性价比比较高，品质也不错，下单的时候注意要买跟你的机型品牌吻合的那一款，因为它们的热靴触点会稍有不同。推荐：神牛tt600闪光灯（预算充足可考虑神牛v860 II）　　另外“jhoggg”同学问是不是只有多触点的热靴闪光灯才可以支持后帘同步闪光？不是。在快门打开的过程中到底是“靠前闪光”还是“靠后闪光”，也就是“前帘”或“后帘同步”，这是由机身决定的，它只需要在那个时间点上给闪光灯发出闪光指令，闪光灯照常闪光就可以了，这是一个非常简单的原理，并不需要那么多的触点。不同品牌的相机的闪光灯热靴触点　　另外你问到离机引闪器的接收器上为什么会有热靴接口？因为那个地方是用来装闪光灯的，等于是一套离机引闪器由两个模块组成，一个发射器，一个接收器。发射器要插在相机机顶的热靴上，接收器要插在闪光灯底下的热靴插销上，两者是配合起来使用的，两者之间是无线通讯。但是有的机身和闪光灯可能内置了发射器或接收器，在这种情况下你只需要补买其另一只接收器或发射器就可以了。神牛X1R引闪器　　“蛋蛋黄”同学说他一直就用神牛的闪光灯，问保富图（Profoto）的效果会不会更好一点？因为我没有用过保富图的热靴的闪光灯，我只用了它的影棚灯，所以我只能告诉你影棚灯保富图真的很好用，它主要体现在回电时间超快，持续照明的灯泡的亮度非常亮，附件的设计也非常的人性化等等方面。“王棕驹”同学也说到想入手保富图闪光灯。我觉得预算充足的话完全可以买，应该是不会后悔的。保富图 A1 机顶（热靴）闪光灯　　“沉默的灵魂”问在使用中长焦变焦镜头（比如说150mm到300mm左右的焦段的镜头）时，有没有必要给它选配一块ND镜？基本上是不需要的。我自己从来没有在使用长焦镜头时有安装ND镜从而进行长时间曝光的需要，反倒是用广角拍风光时ND镜是必备的。- 镜头类 -　　我们看看镜头方面的问题。“权儿”问我，她已经有了16-35mm广角变焦头和50 f/1.8标准镜头，她想问是考虑28-300mm“一镜走天下”，还是70-200mm镜头，或者是100-300mm镜头？首先我们排除“一镜走天下”，因为你已经有一支非常好的超广角镜头了，买28-300mm其实有一部分焦段是重叠的，有些浪费。对你来说70-200mm和100-300mm其实都是不错的选择。如果你经常去一些非常辽阔的地带（例如海边或草原），你就有可能要用到300mm的长焦段，这时候你应该选择后者。另外你说用200mm加增倍镜用来拍月亮和拍鸟，都不推荐，因为你加增倍镜也长不了太多，在拍月亮和鸟的时候其实也起不到什么很不一样的作用，另外增倍镜会导致你的最大光圈缩小以及画质下降。推荐：佳能EF70-300mm f4-5.6L IS USM镜头　　“YZG”同学的问题有点类似，他已经有了24-70mm，问是买70-200mm还是70-300mm？就我自己的拍摄习惯而言，我很喜欢用超长焦镜头，所以70-200mm对我来说还不够远，我可能会选择70-300mm。当然，我推荐你还是买佳能原厂的镜头，国行的可能在维修上更有保障一些。　　“南飞燕”同学说她已经有了24-105mm和70-200mm的镜头，还想入广角镜头。那你就可以去买“权儿”同学那只16-35mm。而你说的11-24mm，11mm端实在是太广了，已经很难（在构图上）“hold住”了，我们一般说16mm就已经是非常难使用的一支镜头了，因为它同时能拍到的景物的数量太多，从而导致画面的元素不是那么好安排，画面冲击力太大，也会导致比较难凸显画面的内涵。推荐：佳能EF16-35mm f4L IS USM镜头　　“你好灬阳光”说想买一台佳能6D2，不知道挂机头怎么选。你可以选24-70mm，你说太贵了的可能是f/2.8光圈那支，所以你可以参考一下f/4光圈的那支24-70mm，其实性价比很不错。另外你也可以考虑35mm定焦镜头，f/2光圈那一只，价格也不贵，而35mm是记录生活的最佳焦段。推荐：佳能 EF 24-70mm f4L IS USM镜头　　“photographer”问我说，佳能70D机身配个怎样的变焦头会好一些？推荐你买18-55mm这样的在等效焦距上差不多是涵盖了广角到中长焦的这么一种镜头，能体验到所有的焦段的画面效果。推荐：佳能18-55mm f3.5-5.6 IS II　　“kimikka”同学问，犹豫是买佳能的85mm f/1.8还是适马的85mm f/1.4，主要在家里拍宝宝，怕适马太重驾驭不了。首先我没有用过适马85mm的这支镜头，我只用过它的一款超广角用来拍星空。那么这两款镜头其实都不太适合用来拍宝宝，原因是它的焦距有点太长了，85mm你几乎永远都只能拍宝宝的大脑门了——除非退得很远去拍摄，这在家里用来记录宝宝显然是不实际的。所以我更建议你用35mm来记录宝宝的成长，35mm还能带上你的家居环境，从而让故事显得更生动更接地气一些。另外还有一个不推荐85mm的原因，中长焦的大光圈镜头的景深很容易变得非常的浅，宝宝只要稍微有晃动，或者你自己有一点点的呼吸的晃动，就会导致焦点不实的问题，对焦的地方不是很清楚。那宝宝一旦会爬会跑，你这只镜头基本上就是不太跟得上对方的运动的，除非等到有一天他已经能够站在那里老老实实被你拍照为止，但是这要很多年以后了。推荐：佳能 EF 35mm f/2 IS USM 镜头- 相机机身类 -　　最后是相机机身方面的问题。“雍尚冕”同学问我说，他用D700帮公司来拍团队活动，现在觉得它的噪点有点高，虽然看好了尼康的D810，但是又有一点想换到索尼的微单相机。我建议你不要换门，换门的代价太大了，还有就是索尼的镜头实在是有点贵，我都觉得自己会有点吃不消，所以我建议你就用尼康就好，D810是不错的，绝对够用！不仅是可以用来给公司拍点活动，而且很多摄影师都是用它来干活的，拍出来照片是要卖钱的。推荐：尼康D810机身　　“另一片天空”问想买一个器材，在佳能6D2和索尼A7M2和A7M3之间选，他说如果是买A7M3的话可能预算有点不够，所以有点纠结。我觉得你既然预算不太够的话，你就买6D2就好了，这是台非常棒的相机，而且佳能的镜头系统也是比较成熟的，不仅每个焦段都很完备，而且价格也比较适中，更何况你手头已经有一只佳能18-200mm的大变焦镜头了，所以你用佳能就好。推荐：佳能6D2机身　　“琦酱⊙▽⊙”同学问，已经有一台佳能6D了但是每次出去都会觉得太重太累，想入手轻便的设备，纠结是买胶片机还是微单。还是推荐你微单，因为胶片机会让你有另一个困惑，就是它非常的慢，而且不太方便，后期花的钱也很多。你可以去查一下奥林巴斯的PEN-F这台相机，小巧、漂亮而且功能强大。推荐：奥林巴斯PEN-F机身　　“秋雨”同学问想让我介绍一下索尼黑卡相机的情况，主要的用途是什么？该不该买？我不是很推荐。总的来说黑卡有这么三种，第一种是全画幅黑卡，那个玩意儿的体积其实挺大，而且定焦的广角镜头应用范围比较窄。还有一种是大变焦的黑卡相机，其中最大变焦的那些个头已经很大了，其实已经称不上是卡片了，已经比有些微单相机还要再更大一些了，再加上变焦范围越大画质越差，所以这个相机玩一玩就行了。还有一种微单是定焦的小尺寸感光元件的相机，因为感光元件只有一英寸，实在是太小了一点，所以我们也不是特别的推荐你用来严肃的做创作。一点儿也不便携且感光元件太小的索尼“黑卡”相机　　“Next”同学想让我推荐一款放在闪光灯热靴上用来记录拍照过程的运动相机。我自己就用的是Gopro Session的这一款，再去淘宝上买一个Gopro转热靴的支架，加在相机顶部就好。需要录像的时候就用手去摁一下Gopro的录像按钮然后再拍照，它和机身之间不是联动的，但它非常小巧，所以很好用。推荐：Gopro Session 运动相机推荐：德国SP Gopro-热靴架　　“贪吃航”同学问双11买理光GR2合不合适？还是说要等3代？3代会不会很贵？贵不贵我不知道，但是2代一直也没降什么价，所以我觉得还是等第3代会更好一点，毕竟数码产品买新不买旧，何况GR2是好几年前的技术了，它已经有点老了。推荐：理光GR3相机　　“亦心凡华”问富士相机的色彩真的是那么诱人的吗？是的，真的很好看。他又问富士的对焦真的是那么着急吗？不是，富士X100系列可能会稍微有一点点，但是据说像XH-1这样的一些比较新型的富士相机，它的对焦也是比以前大有改进的。推荐：富士XT-20机身　　好的，以上就是对大家的双11剁手问题的回答。有更多的有关双11采购方面问题也欢迎在底部向我留言，我尽量为大家解答。我们预计将在双11之前的10号来做一个直播讲座，是免费的，来为大家推荐一些比较便宜有好用的能出效果的摄影产品，详情请关注我们的微信公众号：摄影早自习。　　别忘了由我所讲授的系统全面的摄影课《自由摄影师》以及其它的入门或速成类摄影课，目前都在双“11”活动期间，感兴趣的同学可以按下面方式了解课程详情。【“双十一”超级充电节】课程优惠　网页或APP登录 网易云课堂 ，搜索“叶梓”或复制链接：https://study.163.com/topics/kato201809【课程咨询】微信：hello-kato　　今天是摄影早自习陪伴大家的第909天，我是叶梓，每天早上6:30，微信公众号“摄影早自习”，不见不散！

It keeps colors consistent so the reds in the print are the same reds you saw on your screen. The blue saturation is the same on the page as it was in your intention of the edit. We've talked a lot about the "photographers intention" in the last few videos and we are moving into color manipulation in the editing process with Adobe Lightroom and Capture One. Calibration is absolutely essential moving forward as if we don't calibrate, we are just guessing. We don't want to guess, we want to make deliberate and accurate work that matters.

Q&A about Different camera metering modes, which printer should you buy, and how to take an iconic photo?   This is the PPN - Q&A podcast episode #13 for June 2018.   Please submit your photography related questions to us here: http://www.photopodcasts.com/contact.html   This episode is sponsored by: HoneyBook - Win Clients. Book Faster. Get Paid. Stay Organized. https://bit.ly/2sAyZIv Here are the questions that Marco answers in this episode:   Hi Marco, after many years of photography, I’m still uncertain which exposure metering mode I should use on my camera. My camera has three modes (matrix metering, center-weighted metering, and spot metering). Which one do you use as default mode and when would you switch to one of the other modes? Question from: Kyle, Chicago, Illinois   Hi Marco, first of all, I want to thank you and Scott for all of the great education, inspiration, and technical explanation that you provide each month at PPN. And your shows also inspired me to print more of my images in the future. I currently use a small Canon print & scan combination, but I want to buy a photo printer and would like to get your advice what I should look out for. Thank you and please continue to inspire us.

Intercontinental Hotel Los Angeles, by Amy Jakubowski and Wilson Associates. Click on the image for more info! Amy Jakubowski: International Design Today in the Lounge Nick speaks with Amy Jakubowski live from BD West in LA. Amy talks about how she she got started in interior design at young age, what she does working for Wilson Associates, and some qualities she looks for in interns. Getting to Know Amy On Amy's coffee table you would find two candles, a book on 1950's California design, and plant that's still alive. She loves to travel for work and also takes trips with her friends -- this year it's a jaunt in Croatia. One of her projects has even taken her to Minsk, and she loves going back to Paris. Beer, wine, or cocktail? She loves rosés in the afternoon and reds at night, but if it isn't a nightcap, she prefers a cocktail. Click on the image to see the complete portfolio of the Intercontinental Hotel Los Angeles! How Amy got into Interior Design Amy's passion for interior design grew when she was thirteen and drew inspiration from her neighbors, which led her to the classroom on Saturdays for FIT classes and an eventual bachelor's degree. She worked in the industry part-time while in school and full-time when on breaks, and even had a job offer waiting for her when she graduated. Her first ten years were spent in the garment district, and from there she went to a firm that designed hotels before transitioning from boutique and retail to hospitality. The Business Today Amy is currently the Manager and Design Director for Wilson Associates in the LA office, where she manages the ten offices worldwide and a total of 70 projects -- from Morocco and Minsk to Abu Dhabi and Shanghai. She says that it's important to get to know the market you're in because every place is unique and different, and you have be able to adapt to different cultures. Click on the image to see the complete portfolio of the Intercontinental Hotel Los Angeles! What Amy looks for in Interns When hiring interns at Wilson Associates, Amy looks for an energetic go-getter with computer graphic skills like InDesign, Photoshop and CAD along with a passion for design. Amy also looks to make sure that a student has already done an internship when in the hiring process. She also has a few tips for resumes: a professional resume should include some sample projects but it is important to be concise and personable. Also, be sure to write the point of your objective in your resume. With digital portfolios also keep it simple: balance out your portfolio with technical skills and hand sketches, because it is important for her to see your process. And when you do find an internship (maybe even one with The Chaise Lounge!) be sure to find a mentor and ask a lot of questions! That's how you learn and get to know what different areas in design are out there. Visit Wilson Associates to learn more about Amy and Wilson Associates.

High Point Spring Market 2018: Christi Barbour Today in The Lounge we air the last of our High Point Spring Market coverage, kicking the episode off with the Nick May Morning Show co-hosted by Catherine Hersacher of Bespoke Interiors featuring Jane Dagmi of Designers Today, Shay Geyer of IBB Design, Lynai Jones of Mitchell Black, LuAnn Nigara, and Garrison Hullinger. Garrison chats about branching out to High Point to stand out from other West Coast designers and explains why he is constantly telling friends “no design for wine!” Next, Nick sits down with Christi Barbour, an incredible designer based in High Point with the firm Barbour Spangle Design. As a local, she's able to offer an incredible perspective on the Spring Market! Christi's Story Christi is from High Point and grew up no more than ten miles from the market. On her coffee table, you can find Kelly Wearstler and Chanel design books, as well as flowers. Her favorite accessory is a pair of Tom's shoes, and her favorite city is Paris. Getting into Design Christi loved barbie homes and rearranging her room as a child, but didn't get into design until mid-way through college. As a student at Virginia Tech, she struggled to find a career she was passionate about and originally planned to work in childcare, but was thankfully exposed to the design world through her suite-mate, who persuaded her to switch majors. She immediately knew that design was the fit for her. After college, Christi went back home to High Point to do an internship for a designer who becomes a mentor and her first employer for three years as she worked in photographic design, which she says was perfect for experimentation. Afterward, Christi moved to a furniture company to take over floor display and retail, and bounced around a few jobs, but was unhappy and struck out on her own around 1997. Success! Now, Christi has a partner and thirteen staffers at her hyper-local design business. She loves how quiet High Point is in between markets, and says that it is always exciting to see people trickle in! Find Christi's work here and look for her at High Point Fall Market!

High Point Spring Market 2018: Thom Filicia Today in The Lounge, Nick continues his journey at High Point Market. We start off with with a snapshot of The Nick May Morning Show co-hosted Joseph Haecker of Dezign Wall. Guest appearances include Dorothy Willetts of Willets Design, Bobbi Jo Engelby of Domain Interiors, Michelle Wiebe of Studio M and Zandy Gammons & Liles Dunnigan of The Warehouse 1924. Join in through the live video on our Facebook Page! Then join Nick and designer/TV personality Thom Filicia of Thom Filicia Inc live from the showroom floor at Listen to Thom answer fan questions while discussing his early days as a designer, his experience on Queer Eye, and his upcoming new projects. Early Beginnings Thom Filicia grew up in Syracuse, NY, and realized that he wanted to be a designer in the 5th grade when he drew an elaborate McMansion on his elementary school desk -- even though he got in trouble. Later, Thom entered into an advanced art program at school and went on to study art and design, ultimately earning a degree in Interior Design. In 1998 he opened his own business. The Business Now, Thom Filicia manages three different business empires: Thom Filicia Inc, a traditional brick and mortar interior design firm focusing on commercial projects, hotels and restaurants; Sedgwick and Brattle, a showroom and experience center in NYC; and Tom Filicia Entertainment, which focuses on books and television. Originally Thom thought he opened his own business before he was really ready. In retrospect, he realizes that you are never really ready for anything that is monumental in your life, and becoming a business owner taught him how to acclimate to things intuitively. Sometimes, he says, you have to take on more than you are capable of to go to the next level, and he credits his internship experience as the springboard for his career. The Show Of course, Thom is best known for his appearances on the show Queer Eye -- and the backstory is incredible. Believe it or not, Thom was actually discovered by a talent scout while they were both stuck in a broken elevator. Thom says he was able to bring a lighthearted humor during a difficult situation which helps to alleviate the hysterics of other passengers, and after they were rescued from the elevator, the two exchanged cards. A few months later, Thom was contacted by the scout for an upcoming project, and although Thom didn't have television experience, the agent submitted his name anyway. The rest is history. Thom is excited that the show is back on the air and that the brand is still relevant to viewers today. Beyond the commercial appeal, he says that the Fab Five are like brothers to him. Today Thom is currently filming his new Bravo show, the Thom and Carson Project. The show will focus on the pair helping people who have some issue with the design on their home and is scheduled to air in mid-October.

High Point Spring Market 2018: Passion Sucks Today in The Lounge Nick sits down at High Point Market with an all-star panel to discuss “Passion Sucks. It's All About the Money!” a forum on taking an interior design business from dreams to not only creative but financial success. On the panel is Robin Baron of Robin Baron Design in NYC; California-based designer and real estate star Barrie Livingstone (who was also Nick's first-ever guest in The Lounge!); and David Charette of outstanding design firm Britto Charette in Miami.Also, enjoy highlight os The Morning Show with Barrie Livingstone who joins Nick as co-host to interview Jeffrey Johnson of Jeffrey Design LLC, Gary Pettit of Seasonal Living, Libby Langdon, and Kelli Ellis. Find the full live video on our Facebook Page.The Nit and Grit of GrowthNick and the designers agree that there's no shortage of passion in the interior design industry, so the difference between firms that sink or swim are smart business practices. The panel tackles everything from liability reduction and software use through management and hiring practices, where everyone has their own style of doing things. David, in particular, offers valuable insight into management at Britto Charette, where employee perks like great healthcare, free lunches and happy hours, and potlucks aim to keep staff loyal and hardworking -- but most importantly, happy.

High Point Spring Market 2018: Passion Sucks Today in The Lounge Nick sits down at High Point Market with an all-star panel to discuss “Passion Sucks. It's All About the Money!” a forum on taking an interior design business from dreams to not only creative but financial success. On the panel is Robin Baron of Robin Baron Design in NYC; California-based designer and real estate star Barrie Livingstone (who was also Nick's first-ever guest in The Lounge!); and David Charette of outstanding design firm Britto Charette in Miami.Also, enjoy highlight os The Morning Show with Barrie Livingstone who joins Nick as co-host to interview Jeffrey Johnson of Jeffrey Design LLC, Gary Pettit of Seasonal Living, Libby Langdon, and Kelli Ellis. Find the full live video on our Facebook Page.The Nit and Grit of GrowthNick and the designers agree that there's no shortage of passion in the interior design industry, so the difference between firms that sink or swim are smart business practices. The panel tackles everything from liability reduction and software use through management and hiring practices, where everyone has their own style of doing things. David, in particular, offers valuable insight into management at Britto Charette, where employee perks like great healthcare, free lunches and happy hours, and potlucks aim to keep staff loyal and hardworking -- but most importantly, happy. David also discussed the challenges and blessings of partnering with his spouse, and recommends working together but in different market sectors.No Lack of PassionNick's questioning then turned philosophical with discussions into definitions of success, motivation, and the real value of money.
