Hello and happy Thanksgiving! As I sit here at my full time job, my heart longs to be home with my family. I have been a paramedic for 14 years but have been fascinated with photography for my whole life. I have recently started a small home business in a rural area of Arkansas. I am passionate about photography and nothing about it makes me happier than hearing “I love that” when my clients view their portraits. Just that look of amazement and appreciation on their face is enough for me to know I was able to give them what they wanted and yet more than they expected. I am always trying to learn as much as I can about photography so I wanted to say thanks. Thank you for this site and Pam’s you-tube videos. I would love to commuicate more and learn anything you would like to teach me. Have a wonderful holiday and I hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks for your wonderful comments. I share your enthusiasm for this great profession of portrait photography. It really is so rewarding to hear the comments people make when they are thrilled with their portraits. That is why I have done this for over twenty five years.
I’m glad that you are benefiting from our videos and this site. I will be concentrating most of my time to adding new material here. We will be adding a lot of new professional photography technique posts, as well as green screen and digital backgrounds techniques. If you have any specific things you would like me to address, please write and let me know. I look forward to hearing from you more in the future!
Good Afternoon-
While conflicted about chroma key and shooting on green screen, I have taken the plunge and ordered a roll of tech green Savage seamless and will order a couple of your packages of backgrounds today. I think the reason I have waited is because I have always been told that this kind of shooting is “cheating” or creates images with the main image vignetted and therefore not “real” looking. But more and more I have seen photographers whose work I admire utilizing this technique. Can you offer some insight on this and for which I would be grateful? Thanks, Lar Sinclair
