Derrick's Tips
1) Master Your Flash. Dial back flash exposure compensation for a more natural looking fill light
2) Use regular exposure compensation and flash exposure compensation together for exposure mastery.
3) Lower your horizon. If you have a great sky, lower that horizon for more interesting images.

October 25, 2011TWiT Photo 30: Jeremy Cowart - Learn why celebrity photographer Jeremy Cowart doesn't like to be known simply as a "photographer".
Learn why celebrity photographer Jeremy Cowart doesn't like to be known simply as a "photographer". This incessantly creative mind has traveled the world to not only create incredible art, but also to utilize his artistic skills to help those in need. Watch a video of Jeremy's process creating "A Portrait of Christ" from a composite of faces, and see the unbelievable stories from his humanitarian work with Help-Portrait.com that will have you near tears.
Jeremy's Tips
When shooting outside, set your white balance to "shade". It just makes the skin tones look better, warmer and healthier.

All you really need is 1 light. There's a reason my friend Zack Arias teaches the "One Light Workshop". I take my one light with me everywhere I go and pretty much use it everywhere too.

Treat your subject like you would a friend. For most people, getting their photo taken is like going to the dentist. It's very awkward and uncomfortable. They hate it most of the time. So just talk to them, joke around, get to know them. You'll get better images for it.
