I sold my very first print on Fine Art America!  The image is a reflection of the cathedral in a window of a cafe.  This image was taken when I was in New Orleans for the National Geographic Photography workshop.

I never would have thought to start looking in the windows and in different places for images if Tyron Turner had not told us to think of things like reflections and signs.  I immediately emailed Tyrone to let him know the amazing news but also to once again thank him for all that he taught us and his amazing support.  I never would have thought that someone as busy as he is would really take the time to continue and email the group months after the trip, but even to respond and be so excited for me and my sale!

Such amazing people have led me to this point in my life and I am forever grateful to them.  Thank you again to the buyer and all of those that have supported me through this process.

Notice the Little Things

When taking images its important to notice the little things and think of how you want to crop an image before you take the image.  Thinking of this from your eyes view will help you determine how you want to work to get the composition that you prefer.  Granted my view may be a little different that yours or anyone else’s, but the rules are all the same.

Below is an image that I think shows this well.  I saw the reflections in the bumper when walking by and thought, what a great image!  I walked back around and looked at it a few different times trying to figure out how to take the image to get the reflections that I wanted.  Finally I ended up with the image you see and didn’t have to do any cropping to achieve this.

Cadillac Gril

This image is from a car (a Classic old Cadillac), and I was allowed to be right next to the car (without touching of course) so I had the ability to get as close as needed.  In not all situations are we able to do this but you can always snap the photo to assist with the composition.
