Euro trip!

Hey guys! I know I’ve been MIA for a min, but wanted to give you all a quick update. I’m writing to you from Berlin, Germany halfway through my vacation out here in Europe. Started off the week in Madrid with Jason Kirby and Ryan Lum, had my camera + lenses stolen the first night,…

Pool Party Extravaganza!

I’m writing to you here from San Francisco, enjoying a mid-summer trip visiting friends & fitting in some work alongside – each time I see this place I grow to like it more and more. (Once I post the engagement session shot yesterday, you’ll understand why) Now to the party at hand. 4th of July…

F6ix Grand Opening

Last week I shot the grand opening for RMD Group’s newest venue – F6ix. Can you guess where it’s located? Yep, you got it. F and 6th street downtown. The night featured extravagant expenditures on champagne, dirty dancing, and of course, some funky fresh beats. Alongside, Hef’s ex-fiance Crystal Harris hosted the kickoff event which…

If loving you is wrong, I don’t want to be right

I’ve met a lot of photographers who are adamant about being “technically correct” when it comes taking photos. But you know what? Sometimes, being technically correct – sometimes just DOESN’T DO IT. For the most part, I like to think of my style as clean, fresh, fun, and modern. At times though, I think it…

Ashley Goodwin - Seriously interesting, for real! I have often wondered if I should go more “event” processing than “me” processing sometimes, and this totally worked. Especially love the italian place, you really thought about that one! & who in the heck has a VIP reception and then broadcasts it to the other patrons that can’t get in? I’d love to hear a little bit more about that one, not sure if I’m sold, but I’m sure you’d sell me on the tactic. :)

s h e r r y - Awesome stuff. The post-processing you chose definitely fits each of these events! I find myself being more consistent than daring. I really should challenge myself to change it up a bit. I have a preset that I use to gently tweak each image, and then I’ll mess with them individually some more. I’ve been thinking of doing more b/w lately too! Gotta try it! :)June 21, 2011 – 10:21 pm

Megs - YES! Amen, amen, amen. Here is to letting your eyes choose. :) LOVE THIS POST.June 21, 2011 – 4:03 pm

Ben Nash - Yeah man, I hear ya. I like to use LR presets a lot! And I like making an image unique. Photography is always changing, so I think for photographers, a lot of what they produce will be changing. Maybe not a lot, but some. Unless your old school, and take the same kind of shots and edit them the same every time, I think inside of creativity you can have a lot of change. I agree that it’s probably good to stay consistent, but also creativity will create change and inconsistency to some level. Sweet pics man! I really like the Italian restaurant pics. Keep em’ coming. I admire your work.June 21, 2011 – 8:08 am

Lisa - Wow! Way fun. I’m not a photog but now I want a hat!June 21, 2011 – 7:20 am

Inspiration(s)

Lately I’ve had a few chats with some other photographers I know about this topic, so I thought I’d jot down a few notes on my experience with my own inspiration, and how I currently approach the whole idea. When I first came around to the idea of doing wedding photography, my initial inspiration was…

5 secret reasons to keep your blog updated | Tim King Blog | Tim King Photographer - [...] your work might very well be inspiring to someone who’s just starting out.  I remember the first photographers who I came across when I first started out, and I would read their posts for HOURS-ON-END some [...]December 7, 2011 – 2:54 pm

Dan Dilworth - I think the defining part of this post is that transition moving from attempting to emulate those whom you feel have “made it” versus turning that telescope inward and really focusing on turning yourself into a brand. The people whom you’ve chosen to call out as inspiration possess characteristics that embody a strong work ethic and life philosophy that would make someone successful in any field, not just photography. It can be liberating having a solid understanding of your own self and brand and having that reflected in your photography, because at that point you’re not “chasing” clients, you’re being true to yourself and “attracting” the right client. You’re on the right path grasshopper :)
