I am eager to announce that I will be coming to southern California for child, baby, and family photo sessions from February 24-28, 2012. I love the light in California — the original Hollywood filmmakers knew what they were doing when they set up shop there. I previously spent a good amount of time there, during my stint as production coordinator of The People’s Choice Awards. It’s always wonderful to go back and capture people in that glorious California sunlight.

Lesson 1: The 3 Threes of Composition
This lesson was shot on an iPhone 4S, in order to focus on composition, without getting bogged down by manual camera settings. I recommend you complete this project with a point-and-shoot camera, and focus on getting the best shot you can with a simple tool.
Composing your shot by deliberately using the four sides of the rectangular frame is a key component to creating a great photograph. You will want to pay attention to the way things are arranged in the frame, as well as ensure than anything unwanted is left out of the frame, by moving the camera slightly, or changing your distance to the subject. Let’s get started on this simple exercise that will improve your composition skills instantly!
Explore the Tremont Art Walk tonight and pick up a complimentary magnet! It features my shot of the Snæfellsjökull Glacier on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula in Iceland, shot on 120mm redscale film.
