August 4th 2010 Agenda

Jim Fiscus "Outwork your competitors" - ariticle
Does the Jim Fiscus style come from your lighting or postproduction?
The “Jim Fiscus Style” is a weird thing to me. There are a lot of different looks in my book. The images are different based on what I’m trying to tell. Lighting is the basis of any post technique. Without good light it’s just a picture that’s run through a computer, and that’s not legit. Lighting technique and a computer are really just tools to manage the Zone System. I spent months learning the Zone System from Jim Newbury and at the time it seemed unnecessary. I’m certainly glad I learned it as I use it on every image I make. Thank you, Jim Newbury.
