Dang!  Tons of great street photography, and illustration.  Soo-poib!

Falling in love is the greatest joy in life. Followed closely by sneaking into a gated community late at night and firing a gun into the air.

Yeah, those are amazing. What camera are you using?

Pubrick

He's not using a camera anymore, he's using his fucking soul.

This last batch contains some of your best work.

wow thanks!
I grew to be a lot more sensitive to lights in the last year, but my photoshop/lightroom skills are still sloppy. I use a Canon 60D. Been doing a lot of food photography.

It's funny, the cliche is that food always looks gross when photographed, unless you're using a studio or artificial food. How do you make the food look good, generally?

pete

I don't know? I can't imagine any digital photo looking good fallen off the truck - I don't shoot the raw images that way and no pro I know does that either. The trick is to make it look natural and I've often found myself working on a photo for hours and then becoming completely deflated when I reference the photos of my friends. I don't use lightroom though, and I think my photoshop skill thus far still lacks the fine touch. I'm confident with my skills filming food, but photos require a degree of finesse I'm still seeking:

here are two of my friends/sometime collaborators: Eric's site, Sara's site.

here are some sample images from a cookbook I'm shooting. I shot it in Taiwan on a scouting/research trip, so there was no resources or stylist - just a girl and me in the markets and restaurants and kitchens. I need to develop some skills STAT to make up for the lack of resources.









missing the nuances. but I'll get there I hope!
