Creative Portrait Challenge - THEN GO LIVE

SUBMIT AND THEN GO LIVE WITH MIKEY!!!!

 

Last week I had asked photographers to submit a self portrait and I was overwhelmed by the response from around the globe.  This had me thinking...what if I occassionaly could have a photo challenge and then invite the photographers to have a LIVE discussion on Spreecast?  I can only imagine rants about gear, technique and creative.  This is exciting!

Self Portrait - Your Submissions - Lightenupandshoot

I have become friends with many photographers around the world (in person and online) and I was a little curious to see what others were doing in the way of self-portraits.   So I shot message over facebook "shoot me your self portrait" and the next morning I woke up to an inbox jammed full of subject lines reading "selfie" and "self portrait."  

 

Watch in HD!!!

I was really surprised at the creativity and diversity in self portraits submitted.  Every artist has created a self portrait at some point;  I've always thought humans are inherently narcissistic and the self portrait is simply a way to show how we want ourselves to be perceived or demonstrate who we want to be.  Some of the submissions were much more than that.  CLICK READ MORE TO HAVE A CLOSER LOOK! 

 

Nikon D600 vs D700 - Pictures Leaked - Lightenupandshoot

Ask me if I shoot Nikon or Canon and the casual answer you will here, "I don't ask what brand of underwear you wear, so why should I care what brand of camera you use?"

 

D700 (FULL FIGURED FX)                                              D600  (just FX and skinny) 

beat up, but not broken                                                     hmm...

NYC Sneak Peek Video

I just finished up a 5 day photography adventure in NYC and this time I was followed by filmmaker, Adam Mizrahi.  Adam rolled footage the entire 5 days of me doing what I love most:  PHOTOGRAPHY.   In this behind the scenes video you get a glimpse of me giving a presentation at B&H Photo, shooting models we encountered walking the streets of Manhattan during a Lightenupandshoot workshop, and footage of JZ who flew all the way from Colombia to tag along. 

 

Over the next few weeks Adam and I will be releasing some of the footage shot that shows my formula to photography...more on that later!   So be sure to tune in and come along for the ride.  Some exciting times for Lightenupandshoot and I'm jazzed to put out something of quality that aims to inspire the creative you.
