What Makes You The Photographer Of An Image?

Is the person who clicks the shutter the photographer of an image? I always kind of thought so, until I took this image of Shawna and I. I set up the lights. I posed us. But my wife clicked the image. I even told her how to compose it. But since I’m in it I couldn’t [...] Related posts:

Ep 26 – Photog I Must Be Dead

Ron Davis — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 07:00:44 +0000

(21:35) This week we our Photographer Interview is with Mckay Jaffe, AKA I Must Be Dead, a creative conceptual photographer. I clicked on a link entitled Casual Sex and discovered a great artistic mind. He talks not about where his ideas come from, but what process he goes through creating these images. He also talks [...] Related posts:

Standing Nude

Ron Davis — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 16:00:57 +0000

I really like this image. The directness of it appeals to me and her stance makes her look great. But this one like all the ones I’ve shown you aren’t going in the Zivity series. Why? Let’s leave that as an exercise. What is wrong with this image? Truth is you may not be able to tell [...] Related posts:

Getting Dressed

Ron Davis — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 16:00:00 +0000

A lot of Zivity stuff is strip tease, so I decided I’d try reversing that. This is the starting point of our shoot.

Panties Tease

Ron Davis — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 04:30:18 +0000

This week’s model if probably the one that’s been the most nude on this blog. We recently did a shoot intended for Zivity and this is one of the images I’m not planning on using. Well I wasn’t… The model was recently mugged in NYC and I have to say getting rid of the bruises on her [...] Related posts:

Don’t Fall In Love With The Models

Ron Davis — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 16:00:48 +0000

The other night I went and saw the Revolve Dance Company and was blown away. The visuals I got are feeding future photographic endeavors and I recommend going to see dance whenever you can. I’ve said before that dancers make great models because they know how to use their body and “pose” naturally. I noticed [...] Related posts:

Happy Thanksgiving, No Podcast

Ron Davis — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 07:00:24 +0000

Today is Thanksgiving here in the U.S.A and I’m taking the day off. Which means there will be no podcast today. I try to do things in advance, but I’ve been really busy of late with the Academy and am behind on podcasts. But we’ll be back next week with a new Photographer Interview.

Janet In Leather

Ron Davis — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 16:00:45 +0000

Janet Tillsman is on of my makeup artists. Matter of fact I grabbed on of my favorite headshots of Janet spur of the moment awhile back. She has great skin and is very colorful. So I asked her to pose for me. Hear we were going for that tough look. But Janet just can’t do tough. [...] Related posts:
