Logansport Photo Contest

The Logansport Art Association's annual photography contest will be kicking off very soon. Entry deadlines are next weekend and the showing will begin the next week. You can view all of the entries for approximately 30 days. I will be entering a few of my most recent still lifes this year. They can be viewed online of course, but if you want to see some of my non portraiture work in beautiful full color head over to the LAA on Water Street in Logansport.

Fall Portraits at CVS

It's been about a year since I've set up a portrait session at the CVS on 3rd St in Logansport, but the photo lab has asked me to set something up this month for fall. We'll have a nice outdoor fall scene with a forest backdrop and leaves. The date is September 30th and we'll be shooting from 9am to 5pm. I do not have details on the packages that will be available, but as always your prints will be ready for you before you leave the store. Hope to see you there.

Fall portrait tips

It won't be long before all of the trees start changing colors. Outdoor fall portraits have beautiful warmth making the subjects seem extremely full of life. The best bet for putting together a great fall portrait is to choose solid print clothing in warmer colors. Browns oranges and dark reds work great, some yellow can also be thrown in. Try to avoid vibrant colors that might attract too much attention. The goal is for your faces to pop right out of the frame, but if you are wearing a plain white shirt, most likely the shirt will be the main focal point.
