A headshots photographer in London is not hard to find, but don’t base your decision to hire a headshot photographer on price alone. Look into a few more things when shopping around for someone who will get you noticed by that casting director. A good actor headshot gets you noticed by the casting director. It shows who you are, as you walk in the door whomever is casting will recognize you from your headshot. More importantly a good actor headshot will get you to the casting call in the first place. Looking for your next acting job is hard If…
Photographers need to know where we stand in relation to copyright and trespass laws. It isn’t that there are specific photography laws or regulations covering photography. UK law operates more on the basis of what you are not allowed to do, rather than declaring rights in a constitution. The truth is there is little in the way of restrictions enshrined in law when it comes to photography in a public place. As a rule of thumb, providing you have permission (if on private property) or you are photographing the subject whilst on public land (as well as the subject you…
Panasonic have announced they are to produce a wireless digital camera that will be able to upload pictures to the web via T-Mobile hotspots. The announcement was made at CES in Las Vegas. Whilst it is not the first to announce a wireless digital camera, (Nikon, Kodak and Canon all have wireless enabled digital cameras), the collaboration with T-Mobile makes this announced camera service a bit different. The service will allow owners of the wireless digital camera to upload their pictures to Google’s Picasa photo sharing service, enabling family and friends to view, share and email pictures. The service offered…
I thought I would write a post about female photography. I am enjoying writing about building a niche for yourself, whether related to blogging or life/business. Female photography is a popular search online, I found this out whilst doing some keyword research. I wrote a short post about finding your photography niche and asked for your comments about how you go about finding your niche. It seemed pertinent to research the female photography niche some more in relation to this. In another earlier post I outlined how I would go about finding a niche in which to operate. With these…
The Soho branch of Metro photo lab, renowned for it’s film processing and production services for professional photographers and fast turnaround, is to close from Feb 1 2008 reports Amateur Photographer magazine today. The closure of the Metro’s Soho branch is said to be due to falling demand for film processing. Metro Imaging will continue to offer this service from it’s Clerkenwell branch, with a bike service to ferry film processing from Soho to it’s branch in Clerkenwell.
I just finished editing a photography show about a UK gospel choir who this year celebrate 13 years in the music industry. Using the images taken over the years, we were able to build a visual history of the life of the group from 1994 to 2007. Although most of the images were taken, not as documentary, but as a combination of promotional, live event and portrait photographs, along with my co-editor, we found enough in the images that could tell the story of the group over the time. When people think about documentary photography, people think of well known…
As the UK currently has no privacy laws, photographers are usually free to take pictures wherever they wish as long as they are on public land, or when on private land with the permission of the owner. Without permission, one commits an act of trespass. Until 1st June 07 this act of trespass was a civil offense, however as of this date, the offense changed to a criminal one, punishable by up to 12 months imprisonment or fine if the trespass happens in certain places. The list of places include Royal Palaces. What does this mean in practice for those…
