Happy Thursday everyone!

I think it’s safe to say that all types of photographers are passionate about finding good light! And I gotta tell you…it makes a HUGE difference in your photos if you select a room with great lighting! Often times, this is dictated by the number of windows you see in a room…or how BIG those windows are! So the next time you book a hotel…go ahead and check in…have a quick peek first on the room the front desk gave you. And if you don’t see more than 1 small-sized window, sized no bigger than a poster that you see in the movie theatre…then it’s a bad room for photography and you should try to go back to the front desk and request to be moved to another room with more window light. Most of the time, hotels and motels do accommodate such requests as best as they can to avoid disappointing their guests. Of course, the bigger the window is, the better! So if you see a room with one big window that runs from the floor all the way to the ceiling of the room…then that’s a SCORE!!!

Here are a few examples of GOOD window sizes inside hotel rooms…

Happy Monday everyone!

I’m not a makeup expert by a long shot, but thanks to my lovely wife, I have a rough idea on how DIY makeup works.    Moreover, I do know how things turn out on camera…so here goes a quick makeup tip that hopefully can help all you DIY brides out there.

If you’re doing your own makeup: Practice and take pictures before the big day. Start with less, because it’s easier to add more if you need it than having to remove excess makeup, which can get messy.

The camera WILL blow you out in photos. So put on a little more makeup than you would apply! Normally, more than you think you need, since the camera and lights will tone down your makeup.

Happy Monday everyone!
