A photograph is all about the story and the image and less to do with anything else – including technical know how. It’s having a point of view that matters. Celebrate YOUR viewpoint, quit looking over your shoulder.

Q:when you're editing for a more filmy look such as: image 4 of your B&W portfolio with the guitars - what do you usually do? take out the contrast, raise the black point, tweak the tone curve? and what program do you edit with?

justanothermfker

Pretty much thats it. First I go into LR3 and take out all the default settings from camera raw (blacks, contrast, etc), then go into Photoshop for more precise edits.

Q:Love your photography. Are there any books you recommend reading for inspiration or developing skills?

Thanks croc! For lighting in particular my friend recommended Light Science & Magic for me.

Inspiration wise, I just visit used bookstores, museums, and collect images online.
