Since meeting Louise and Joseph Simone close to twenty years ago, I know of very few photographers who have maintained their standards of quality. Every image is truly a work of art demonstrating the true definition of a professional photographer and artist.
In this Photoshop Cafe/Software Cinema production they’ll share a wealth of information in under [...]
A number of years ago one my best buddies, Dean Collins, founded Software Cinema. Intended to become the leading how-to video production company in imaging, the company has done just that. Combining its reach and educational leadership with Photoshop Cafe you’ve got a powerhouse resource of how-to material just a click away.
Dean may have passed away almost [...]
Only a handful of photographers have seen this short video on You Tube, but thanks to Software Cinema this is just a teaser. Software Cinema was founded by my old buddy Dean Collins and today is home to some of the very best educational videos in professional photography. It’s worth a trip to their website if [...]
With the post yesterday about Dean Collins, you can’t really talk about teaching lighting today without Tony Corbell’s name coming up. Tony and Dean worked together for years. Thanks to Profoto, there’s a lot of great material out there, starting with two videos I decided to stack as part of today’s post. They feature Tony [...]
One of the things I find sad with today’s younger photographers is the lack of appreciation for the history of the craft.

In 1987 I joined Hasselblad USA as president, following Roland Polhem, who had passed away months earlier. They were big shoes to fill. One of the projects Roland had agreed to fund was Dean Collins, who was going on the road with a thirty city tour. There were three partners in the tour, Sinar Bron, [...]
While it might seem off track, considering I’ve been profiling Summer School instructors for the last week, I found this wonderful old clip from Dean Collins. Dean’s influence on so many great photographers in this country was extensive. He was the master of lighting, not just in understanding it but in teaching the concepts.
This year at [...]
In February 2005 the industry lost one of its finest photographers and teachers, Dean Collins. Many of us lost one of our very best friends. There’s rarely a project that goes by that I don’t think about Dean and how he would have handled some of the challenges the industry is facing today.
Well, it’s amazing the [...]
The high school senior market has been one of the most exciting segments of portraiture for a lot of years. Gone are the days of a straight on head shot, guys in suits, women in the off the shoulder old black shroud!
Sadly that look lasted way too long , but you have to admit, it takes nerve to [...]
Last Saturday night I caught up to good buddy Tony Corbell. We’ve been friends since the late 80’s when Tony was working with Dean Collins. While we talk a good game and always try and get some time to catch up at the various conventions, we’re always so busy and it often never happens. But here’s the amazing [...]
