Thanks so much for taking time to share those thoughts, @kina! It’s always helpful to hear things that other people say to guide subjects into poses. 🙂

YAY, @sarahb! I’m so proud of you for doing a self-portrait! That’s no easy task. 🙂 I love the color dress you chose…it adds such a vibrant feeling to the image.

And, here come a few pictures of my own. This is literally the closest to deadline I’ve ever submitted! 😀

Was so grateful for the opportunity to head over to a nearby park with my…[Read more]

Guys, this is AMAZING! What a blessing this will be for Elizabeth!! So many great photo submissions…excited to what else comes in before midnight 😉 Honestly, there are sooo many amazing submissions I want to comment on ALL of them to say what I like about them, but I’ll just have to save individual comments for the chat on the webinar as James…[Read more]

You sister’s coat!? Ah, wow I couldn’t figure out for the life of me what it was. Very interesting. Not sure I would’ve chosen to have the framing to come across quite so strongly, but it’s certainly a creative idea.

Never been to Harrisburg. I’ll have to keep that in mind if I’m ever travelling through 🙂

Your portfolio is very…[Read more]

Glad you figured it out! Now that I know what I’m looking for, I can definitely see the difference.

But, now you’ve got me curious, what were you shooting through in the first place, that got all the black in the photo?

That’s great! Thanks for sharing, @buddingphotographer!

That doesn’t sound like such a bad system. 🙂 I’ll have to look into that idea and see if I could set up something similar.

So glad you’ll be able to use multiple photos on the website, @buddingphotographer! That’s wonderful.

Ok! Very good!

Now to do some brainstorm….. 🙂

Good point, James.

Well, if anyone sees a deal, let me know! Would appreciate it.

Curious how other folks around here keep their eye out for good deals on things like this. Do you just search around? Do you sign up on email lists to get notifications?

Ooh! Good to know! Glad I asked 🙂

So, just to clarify, is she planning on matching up one photo per verse (and one photo per chorus), or is she planning to split it up more? For example, a photo to match the first half of a verse, and another to go with the second half?

Is she playing all 3 verses of As the Deer, and all 5 verses of Fairest Lord Jesus, in her arrangement?

I know sometimes when you do a musical arrangement, you don’t play all the verses but you do have specific ones you’re thinking of as you arrange the piece (for example, if you are playing with the 1st, 2nd, and 5th verse in mind).

So, just…[Read more]

Thank you for the advice, guys! Very helpful to know.

Yay James! Glad you were able to finally take the photos!

And I think one didn’t attach…

Wow, nice job, @blessingscaptured! Looking forward to hearing answers to your question on lighting, as I’m still learning alot with bounce flash myself!

Personally, I think the better photos are where the light is on the little boy’s face rather than the back of his head. Feels more natural with the shadows on his back.

And, in the photos of…[Read more]

Yikes, one week left to this assignment! Has anyone else besides me procrasinated on this? :[

Just wanted to put out a quick word of encouragement to everyone to shoot this assignment (if you haven’t already)!! ….yep, even with only a week left!

Thought I’d take a moment to share a bit of what’s going on here on my end of things……[Read more]

Hello @christian-horstmann!

I have a few photos that sound like they fit your description; I don’t have them up on Lightstock just yet, but you can view them here, from a Lenspiration Shoot to Serve assignment they were submitted for.

My personal portfolio consists primarily of family photo sessions, and my photos on Lightstock don’t primarily…[Read more]

@erambeck, just another quick note of information about the Pro Posing Database, if you decide to give it a look….not only does it include hundreds of photos which give great posing inspiration, but each photo includes a caption from the photographer or from Lenspiration with a tip or thought related to that particular image. It’s a great resource!
