Comment on Black Sheep by John H Andersen

Hi, Jan

I was looking for a website name to use for my oppinions about what poses as science. I ran accross your site. I like it. Your work is unique, indeed.

I especially like black sheep, for I certainly identify with such.

I am second generation Danish-Dutch-English-American. I have cousens living in Nykobing Falster where my grandfather was from. His brother remained in DK when my grandfather (also John Andersen) imigrated to the US.

All the best,
John

The market will be served, and obviously no one is hurt here.

The suicide photo you posted does elicit a reaction from me, but not so much because it is a depiction of suicide – because I’m a shooters and guns are a big part of my life. I have spent so much time drilling the four rules of gun handling into my family’s heads that this is very shocking to my sensibilities

Very good points Mr. Andersen. Just because people do not want to discuss such taboo subjects does not mean we should not photograph them. If they do not want to see these types of images, they should look away.

Well done!

Really like your light wall setup, I’m pretty sure you get away with the smaller light difference because you have a evenly illuminated background so you can keep tighter specs. This probably also give you more dynamic range in your image without flaring on the edge details.

Comment on Advice #17: Use props to relax the child by Michael Anthony | Santa Clarita Photographers

I was going to ask you on G+, but they don’t have direct messaging capabilities yet! With children do you recommend working with natural light, or studio strobes, more for location work?

Tak for svaret Jan. Det gav mig lidt at tænke på.

Ja, det tror jeg da sagtens at du kunne – du har da mange flotte billeder imellem. Den nemmeste måde er jo at starte med nogle af microstock-bureauerne, fx iStockphoto og Fotolia. Her er dit eneste arbejde at uploade billederne og lade dem om, at sælge dem for dig. Ulempen er her, at du heller ikke får meget for det enkelte salg – til gengæld kan de nå ud til mange flere potentielle kunder end du selv kan.
Skal der flere penge på bordet, skal du enten til nogle af de traditionelle fotobureauer (og selv her kniber det med afregningen) eller begynde at markedsføre og sælge dem selv. Det tager betydeligt længere tid og kræver en stor indsats. Til gengæld kan du også få et betydeligt højere beløb til dig selv for det enkelte salg.
I alle tilfælde er det vigtigste at vurdere, om det man laver er unikt. Leverer jeg blot billeder af solnedgange som tusindvis af andre fotografer, eller kan jeg levere noget, som er helt specielt, som ikke ret mange andre laver ligesom mig. Er det tilfældet, så er der sandsynligvis en niche at udfylde. Hvis nej, bør man måske overveje at finde en niche, blandt det man godt kan lide at lave.
Hvis du tager et tilfældigt udpluk af mine billeder, fx søde børn der leger med modellervoks og laver lektier, og børn med næseblod og i gang med at begå selvmord, hvilke tror du så, at jeg sælger mest af?
Lige præcis! De billeder, som der ikke er så mange andre end mig der laver.

Hej Jan,

Du har en stor erfaring med at sælge billeder.

Jeg har stort set ingen. Vil du tro, at jeg ville kunne sælge mine landskabsbilleder, og kan du evt. give mig et råd om hvordan jeg skulle starte på det?

Mange hilsner
Kim

Comment on PhotoShelter synchronization by Kalle Koponen

Kalle Koponen — Sun, 10 Jul 2011 07:26:04 +0000

Hi
there is a dutch guy who has made a photoshelter synchronization software for those of us who work with Photoshop Lightroom instead of Bridge. It can replace image files already in PSh archive with new versions from local archive. It can also syncrhronize metadata between local and PSh archive.
I find this very usefull as the whole upload process to Photoshelter in integrated to Lightroom with this plugin.
In general terms, don’t you think Bridge as a file browser is a little outdated way to manage your catalogue compared to Lightroom which is a proper data base engine, and a fine one for the low price?

Anyway, here is the site of the dutch photographer/developer who has created the wonderful Litroom plugin in co-operation with the guys at PSh:
