Photographing at Night: Images from the Flickr Pool

Ibarionex Perello March 28, 2014

In this latest TCF YouTube video, we talk about the benefits and challenges of photographing at night. Though today's cameras provide greater advantages for shooting in the evening, under low light, it's not something that's often taken advantage by many of today's photographers. It would seem that the idea of shooting at night doesn't seem to as ideal a time for photography as the day time. However, these images demonstrate that there may be just as many great opportunities for great photographs waiting for us well after the sun has set.

No Cliche Street Photography

Ibarionex Perello January 30, 2014

In this video, we talk about street photography or my specifically non-cliche street photography. Great street photography is more than snaps of people walking down the street.

We focus on some of great images that fall into the category of street photography and discuss how the public world we all inhabit can provide inspiration for really great photographs.

Culled from images submitted by listeners to The Candid Frame, we briefly share how you might use shadow in your images to create images with greater impact.

Looking at Shadows - Images for the TCF Flickr Pool

Ibarionex Perello January 16, 2014

In this video, we explore the importance of the shadow. Shadow can not only tell us a lot about the quality of the light, but it can also provide a context for the brighter areas of the frame. Though it can obscure certain detailed with in the composition, it can actually help to reveal the most important element within the frame whether it's color, texture, shape, line or even a gesture.
