This Week in Photo (TWiP)

This week on the show we feature Hawaiian photographer Kyle Nishioka. A relative newcomer to glamour photography, Kyle has leveraged his technical excellence to create a bounty of superb images. Not limited to glamour, within moments of visiting his website, you will find a variety of well-executed genres.

Posing to enhance shape

In the world glamour, photographers fight a constant battle to make the shapely seem thin and the thin seem curvaceous. In this episode, we

tackle bringing the hourglass shape to the slender model. Kyle does an excellent job of demonstrating a strategy of raising the model’s arms to narrow the waist. This posing strategy also gives the model stronger shoulders and a look of confidence. We hope you experiment with this pose in your next shoot and send us your results. But be warned, this pose can exaggerate the model’s armpit if not managed carefully.

On this episode, Adelaide photographer Rob Jenkins joins us to share his love of photography.  Diverse and dynamic, Rob's work stands out as well executed and thoughtful. Never settling into one genre, we see examples of wedding, portraiture, fashion and glamour. Of particular interest in his work is use of tonal extremes to convey the feeling of an image. Reaching beyond taking pictures, Rod also hosts a photography meet-up group, runs events and publishes the new and impressive "Photo Live" magazine.

We greatly enjoyed our interview with Rob and look forward to keeping tabs on his photographic journey.

Photo Live Magazine

In an act of publishing madness, Rob has begun to publish "Photo Live" e-magazine.  The first issue has made a splash for being beautifully produces, well written and completely free of ads.  Over 200 pages of images and thoughtful interviews with the prominent image makers of our time.  The first issue includes interviews from Scott Bourne, Nick Ghionis, Jim Harmer and many more!

In this interview I sit down with veteran broadcaster, concert photographer and now podcaster Steve Brazill. Steve and I discuss his evolution from broadcasting into the wild frontier of podcasting. We also discuss his love of concert photography and how it continually proves to be one of the most challenging genres of photography out there.

Steve is a Southern California based Music Photographer, and the host of the Behind the Shot podcast on the This Week in Photo Network. Along with being the past House Photographer for San Manuel Casino, Steve shoots for rock radio station 96.7 KCAL FM, where has also been on the air since 1987. Steve is a past IEPPV (Inland Empire Professional Photographers and Videographers) Photojournalist of the Year, and does a popular presentation on his Concert Photography.

Razz, as he's known on-the-air at KCAL FM and to friends, captures those defining moments that happen during a live performance – whether on stage or behind-the-scenes. His images have been seen in newsprint; the Duesenberg USA Guitar catalog; in TV productions, such as MAVTV’s “Les Paul Kids Rock Free Concert Series” at the Fender Center; and recognized online in features such as in Mashable’s “16 Concert Photos That Will Bring Music To Your Ears”.

Steve is also the host of various local TV shows in Southern California, such as In Studio, where he interviews various local musicians, and Riverside Monthly where he hosts a roundtable on local issues.

Trying to describe Trey Ratcliff is difficult. Photographer, social media icon, creative mind, public speaker... lots of titles come to mind, but most do not fully describe him. Think of a television network, ABC, CBS, FOX, BBC, NBC, and he has most likely been featured on it. My favorite description of Trey is how he describes himself on his Stuck In Customs blog:

“I’m A Warm-Hearted, Old-School Gentleman Explorer With Really Cool Toys.”

Yeah, that it exactly.

Seriously, Trey Ratcliff is one of the most influential photographers out there, and yet his resume clearly goes deeper than that. His background is in Computer Science and Math, but his ability to see light, space, and color is beyond pretty much any other photographer I have seen. In fact, the first HDR image to be hung in the Smithsonian was Trey's ‘Fourth on Lake Austin’.

Trey is part photographer, part marketer, part teacher, and part businessman, but what I find most intriguing about him is his obvious passion. He posts a photo a day, and he has done that for years! And, when you hear him discuss his work, in a YouTube video, on a podcast like this, in an audio clip describing one of his fine art pieces, or wherever, his ability to bring you into that passion is uncanny. I speak for a living, emceeing, radio, TV etc, and I am here to tell you that very few people have the talent to communicate a "feeling" - Trey does. It's infectious. Check out his Burning Man photos and you will feel like you've been there.

When it comes to photography, Trey is mostly know as an HDR guru, but what he does in the HDR arena is so unique. His images bring his world to life, in front of your eyes. There is such color and depth in his work. There is an unreal realism. (I just read that line back to myself wondering if "unreal realism" was the right phrase... yeah.... perfect actually.) I actually lost a good amount of time browsing his never ending portfolio, with each and every shot taking me further away from my computer.

As you can tell, Trey is someone I am excited to have on Behind the Shot, so join Trey and me as we discuss his image of the Museum of Evolution in Paris, France entitled "Where Jules Verne would perform experiments on animalkind".

This week on the show Gary Abigt shows us the secrets to building a portfolio in a day. Gary is the owner and operator of Select Models, one of the longest-running and most prolific modeling group shoot companies.

Gary's love affair with photography began as a child, following the career of his uncle, a renowned speedway photographer. During high school his talents began to blossom and thanks to an infusion of professional gear Gary made the move to paying assignments. After high school, Gary completed a distinguished tour with the United States Air Force as an alert photographer. He then transitioned into commercial and portrait work. After attending a photography group shoot with a friend, the fire was lit and Select Models was born.

With over 400 Group shoots to his name, endless energy and a passion for people, we are happy to bring you Gary Abigt.

Waterworld photo shoots

The Waterworld photo shoots take place in an unassuming suburban neighborhood. This neiborhood is hiding a photography gem. Gary's residence is a photographers dream come true with foliage, rock formations, Jacuzzis, swimming pools and everything in between, all packed into a suburban backyard. The Waterworld photo shoots are affordable, enjoyable and well worth your time.

The cruise boat photo shoot

With 10 successful voyages completed, the cruise boat photo shoot is a proven winner. Gary and his band of models and photographers take over a corner of a cruise ship and use it as a photo studio on the waves. From an organizers perspective, the real genius of this concept is that the cruise line takes care of all of the difficult preparations, without even knowing it. The set up a simple, each photographer sponsors a model to go on the cruise. This guarantees an almost perfect ratio of models and photographers. It also attracts a very high caliber of model without a large investment by the photographer.

In this interview I speak with Sacramento California based portrait photographer Christine Alward. We discuss her journey into professional modeling and her subsequent transition into running her own photography business. Christine is a photographer with an affinity for making portraits.

Her path to photography was winding. It started at a young age with a foundation in dance which allowed her to travel to New York and Italy. She also had a strong interest in landscape photography and a great fondness for Yosemite and the California Coast. There as no denying that a love for the arts had a strong hold on her.

Her photographic style and connection with her subjects has made Christine's work desirable across many genres of photography. From family and senior portraits, to corporate headshots and commercial branding, Christine's ability to put her clients at ease has been the driving force behind her continued growth.
