Before and After: Take 2

WARNING: This is a monster of a video!

I got a little long-winded about lighting, and ended up recording for twenty-four minutes. Sorry! So, if you are avoiding your own editing, and want to see a little deeper conversation into my editing thought process, press play to begin. I do think this will be my last before and after video for a spell. I think another one would become repetitive, and I would like to keep the diversity of the subject matter rolling along on this blog. While I have really only scratched the surface of the specifics of how my complete image creation process, I do believe there are some things best learned by doing and hands-on demonstration. This is especially true when discussing topics like scouting locations for the best angles, using light, and capturing emotion. (Do I hear details about a workshop on the horizon?)

If you have followed this blog from day one, hopefully you know I don’t believe in holding anything back. I don’t believe there are secrets in being a successful photographer. Those who make it over the long haul work hard and have persistence. If you do have any specific questions or content you would like addressed, please feel free to drop me a line. I truly appreciate your feedback. Otherwise, I will keep rambling away, which I am pretty good at too!

Happy editing!

February 21, 2010 - 10:01 am John Hoel - Another awesome video Biff. Sometimes as a wedding videographer I get jealous of you photographers because in my mind I think your job is done after the reception and mine is just beginning as it's on to many many hours of editing. For some maybe that is the case but for you it is clearly not. These videos really illustrate your craft and it is clear that your skills as a photographer are sharpened by each edit because it focuses your attention in a way that informs you on your next shoot. I've been shooting video primarily on Canon DSLRs for about a year (5D Mark II) and have tinkered with photography as a hobby on the side. I so appreciate these videos as well as your blog because it really drives home the importance of intentionality which I think is lost in our modern world because of the amazing technology we have. It is all too easy to shoot 2000 images and know that by the law of numbers you will get some good shots. These videos illustrate what sets you apart.
