What’s the new black…Ive lost track on what’s trendy nowadays!

When DK Capture have portrait clients in I always have a chat about what type of look they would like…99% don’t know and leave it to me.

We also shoot on High Key first as it’s what people are used to seeing, but after about 30mins I tend to go all creative and find most people like the results.

Is the brilliant white background going out of fashion or will it always be a favourite?

You don’t take a photograph, you make it. – Ansel Adams

Photography is Marketing..its not some grey haired old bloke with a tripod eating sandwiches out of tin foil boring people to death about FStops and then charging a small mortgage to allow you to use his images…things have changed!

Looking at the two images below,  the first I found on the web, whilst looking for a description on the process of dried apricots for a design we are doing. The second is a shot DK Capture did for a food company looking to market their product further.

If you sold dried fruit which one is going to sell your company?

If your investing your hard earned money into a company you love and breath, why wouldn’t you invest in marketing your company properly?

A funny comment I saw on FB today….

Bob Hoskins “It’s good to talk” BT Advert 1990

We have all seen “The Hangover” maybe some of us have seen “The Hangover 2″ (not as good but still funny)  but what is the best bit about the film ?

Thats right the fun party photos at the end !

Well, I cant promise all the action from the movies but we do have plenty of fun and  having booked in 3 party shoots last week for Hen and Birthday shoots ,  DK Capture must be doing something right.

I always ask how did they hear about our party shoots….because we don’t advertise them !

Friends of friends and word of mouth…do a good job people talk about it and they become sales people for your company.

 

Remember… Never too old to “Party Hard” !

Put the kettle on: The number one rule on product photography

When it comes to product photography, clients always ask you for your thoughts and ideas…99% of clients already have an idea but it’s always good to pop the kettle on and have a chat about what the overall outcome from the shoot will be….

You never know what goes on in these marketing meetings!

Its Marmite: Love it or Hate it ?

When it come to body modifications its very much down to personal taste.

DK Capture have shot many portfolio updates for White Flame in Winton for their online advertisement. Even if you don’t like tattoos you can’t argue some of the art work people have nowadays is amazing…and the photography isn’t too bad either ;)

Duran Duran: Girls on Film… Girls on Digital just doesnt sound as sexy!

“See them walking hand in hand across the bridge at midnight,  Heads turning as the lights flashing out it’s so bright” Duran Duran – Girls on film 1981

When DK Capture launch our “Its All About You” makeover shoots I didn’t think it would be as popular as it has been.

Well with everyone taking photos on their phones…and thinking  it doesn’t look as good as the glossy mags I’ll get some professional ones done, it’s no surprise.

I like a rubbish camera phone makes us Pro Photographers look even better….It’s all about the lighting  ;)

Remember….were all gorgeous…some more so than others !

David Bowie: Let’s Dance

“Let’s dance put on your red shoes and dance the blues   Let’s dance to the song they’re playin’ on the radio ”  David Bowie- Lets Dance 1983

Its always good fun when we get dancers and dance groups in the studio.   Single shots look great but when you put a few together they just have soo much more impact !
