Our new photography tutorial video series is just around the corner. The new video series demonstrates how we light, pose, photograph, and process images. Many of the images we shoot for this video series will become portfolio additions for our commercial website, SeattleCreativeWorks.com.
Tim and I put together a candid 17 minute video of us discussing our photography backgrounds, how we find inspiration for images, and our thoughts on “breaking the rules”. We neglected to state when we began photographing full-time. Tim began photographing commercially about 15 years ago in Miami. My commercial photography career began in 1990 when I was based out of Los Angeles.
In the video, I mentioned several photography websites that we like for creative inspiration. The websites feature a few of the top fashion, portrait, and still-life photographers in the world. Don’t be intimidated by the images, study the composition and poses, and often simple one-light-setups.
Art-Dept.com – Fashion, Portraits, Still-life
JedRoot.com – Fashion, Portraits, Still-life
Workbook.com – Find what photographers are photographing in your region
Three great blogs for fashion and glamour images Calikartel and DesignScene and Fashiontography.
As you may notice from the video title, we are building a new website for Zeroplusplus.com. Over the next couple of weeks, Tim and I will move content over to the new site, TutorialForPhotography.com. The Zeroplusplus site will remain, however new content will be found on TutorialForPhotography.

Man, watching that video brought back some old memories!
LA was a blur of burning the candle at both ends. We photographed, drove to A&I Photo Lab for 2 hour rush processing, edit the slides, drop off the slides to the client, organize and clean the gear, and have a martini. Then….do it all over again the next day.
Your guys are wonderful, thanks to posting this, and very interesting video shoot.
Thank you for such a nice comment Milksmile!
The new video series is almost done…at least Melissa:Volume 1. The video is 1.5 hours long and is chock full of information for the photographer shooting with inexpensive mono-heads. This video is packed with knowledge and how to pose and light models. We covered everything and then some.
The second video is shot as well. I just need to edit and do the voice overs. The 3rd video is a fashion shoot with one of the most talented Seattle designers, now living in NYC. Lots of new stuff on the way folks.
It does not matter what kind of strobes or speedlights you own and use. Tim and I have a solution that will work for you. Brands do not matter, it DOES matter what you put in front of your lights….that is what we call the lighting modifier.
Back to work for me on the first video with Melissa….all 6 feet of her in heels, LOL
Thanks my friends…….Thorsten
