Photography

Online branding can be greatly enhanced with appealing photographs that showcase our individuality and personality.  A visual image helps create a sense of familiarity and connection.  It can evoke memories and spark ideas.  Thanks to web sites such as Flickr, Facebook and MySpace, we have the power to exchange lasting impressions of our iconographic existence with people all over the world.  My passion for photography evolved into a part-time business because of the power those images have to connect us with each other. I’ve had the joy of shooting business profiles, families playing in the park and special events such as showers, receptions, anniversary parties and holiday celebrations.  As winter fades and spring draws near, the season for photography is beckoning.  So without further adieu, I’m introducing my newly-updated version of Pizzazz Images Photography, which is an integral part of The Branding Blueprint.

Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again. – Henri Cartier Bresson

It’s amazing that Adobe’s Photoshop program has been around for 20 years!  In a post from Lifehacker, there’s an entertaining and informative video that features the Photoshop creators.  The interviews are from 1990 and 2010.  The article also includes some favorite tips and tricks for creating photo art.

Photoshop dramatically impacted the work of graphic and web designers, video professionals and photographers.  The latest version includes 3D capabilities like the ones that were used in the movie Avatar.  Since Photoshop 1, the introduction of the Internet and digital cameras created an even greater demand for imaging software, and “photoshop” turned into a verb.

In the early 2000s, I started using the Photoshop Elements program and gradually upgraded over the years.  How did I ever get along without PS CS4?  And will I ever master it?  Maybe in another lifetime.

Photoshop – that which produces a great photograph from an average photographer. – Frank Karycinski
