Review: Second Shootr iPhone App
For those of you looking for the latest edition of the Points of View Photo Project, it will be posted on Monday. If you haven’t sent in your photo yet, there’s still time! Send it to me by Sunday afternoon for inclusion.
It has been a pleasure to have had the opportunity to work with fellow photographer, Tim Collins of Plinkk Photography, as a beta tester for his new iPhone App for Wedding Photographers called Second Shootr. It has been approved by Apple and should be available either today or in the very near future.
Second Shootr is a very cool app developed by wedding photographers, for wedding photographers to help you with all aspects of your planning and execution of your next event. Here’s how it works: (more…)
October Photo Contest Reminder & News
With less than two weeks left in October – I know, I can’t believe it myself! – that means the October Photo Contest is almost up!
Entries this month have a chance to win a 16×20 print of one of their photos sublimated on to a piece of aluminum by our friends over at IGT America – A $50 Value! I have one hanging in my house and it looks fantastic! You will definitely want to enter this one!
I’ve been in on the beta testing for a new iPhone App designed specifically for wedding photographers. I can’t say much about it until it is officially released but I will have a full review as soon as it is. All I’ll say is that it is very impressive and will be very useful for all of you wedding photogs out there. Just out of curiosity, how many wedding photographers do we have in the audience? How many of you are iPhone users? In the coming months, there may even be a copy of this mystery app as a contest prize! So let me know!

Digital Photographer Highlight: Karl Bratby
A few weeks ago I was introduced to the work of Nottingham wedding photographer Karl Bratby. There are a number of excellent wedding photographers out there and I love seeing their work because it brings me back to my own wedding and the joys that I felt. It’s the same with Karl’s.
Karl runs the blog iLifephotoblog which, in his own words is where he:
specializes in capturing relaxed portraits, amazing details and real moments in time, oh and don’t forget the romance…. we do all this for some of the coolest brides and grooms on the planet.
[It] is an archive of my personal and professional life, it features images from the weddings i shoot, the portraits i photograph and the friends and family that mean so much to me.
It is easy to get bored with a certain photographic subject because it is so easy to feel like you’re seeing the same things over and over again. One of the things I noticed right off with iLife and Karl’s style is that he is able to really bring out the personality of the couple through the shots but he is able to combine all the elements of composition, lighting, texture, contrast, moment, and pose to tell a story that is unique to each couple with whom he works.
I am always impressed with photographers, of any type, who are able to make each shot more than just a photo, each expression and pose really say something, and weave into each image a sense of timelessness. And Karl does that very well.
Nicely done!
