RaymonD on Photography

"The human face fascinates me. It's a mirror of fleeting reflections. I say mirror because although it is the subject whose face is being photographed, the instant of exposure is decided by the photographer. And it's this instant which reveals part of the photographer. To a degree, this selection of the expression makes it the photographer's expression too."

Raymond often reminded himself that although every picture story is a series of photographs, each individual shot should be able to stand alone. As a photographer, he captured countless stories through his camera lens, from a circus performance near his native New York to a trial in post-revolutionary Cuba. No matter what he photographed, Raymond never forgot his own advice. Each image was unique; every photograph could stand alone.

He believed the first requisite for good photography is curiosity. Wherever he went in New York City or on his many travels, he always had his camera and his curiosity. In all settings, he preferred realism a

Ansel Adams, Photographer – Bio

By William Turnage, Reprinted courtesy of the author and Oxford University Press

This Ansel Adams biography was published by Oxford University Press for its American National Biography.

Ansel Adams in front of his most famous image, “Moonrise, Hernandez”

Adams, Ansel (Feb. 20 1902 — Apr. 22, 1984), photographer and environmentalist, was born in San Francisco, California, the son of Charles Hitchcock Adams, a businessman, and Olive Bray. The grandson of a wealthy timber baron, Adams grew up in a house set amid the sand dunes of the Golden Gate.

A year later the family fortune collapsed in the financial panic of 1907, and Adams’s father spent the rest of his life doggedly but fruitlessly attempting to recoup.

An only child, Adams was born when his mother was nearly forty. His relatively elderly parents, affluent family history, and the live-in presence of his mother’s maiden

About me . . .

I have many years experience of set building in the studio specifically for photography. I know what will work and what won't and how to quickly build a set that looks like a permanent indoor space. The studio is equiped with a purpose built modular water system so we can create working bathroom sets in the studio.

Having agreed a set design with the client I will build the set. This may include tiling, painting walls and ceilings, plus flooring. If required I will install sinks, shower cubicles, baths, a loo, and then fit the brassware and plumb it in to a pumped hot and cold water system.

As the set is coming together I supply in progress images so the client can confirm that the build meets their expectations. At this stage these images can be used by designers for temporary placement in their layout.

The next step is to light the set and shoot test images for the client approval. Once the client is satisfied, I clean everything to blazes and shoot the final images.

As a photographer with experience in graphic design I understand how photography interacts
