Workshop with TriCoast Photography!






Well sorry have not posted in a while! Just been so busy shooting engagements, weddings and what not. The good news is ? I just attended a great creative off camera flash workshop with the famous guys over at Tricoast Photography http://www.tricoastphoto.com/ It was held in the old historic Cotton Mill in Mckinney TX . This was one of the best workshops I have ever attended. I learned so much about the Nikon CLS (Creative Light System). Its all about getting that flash off camera! Like the Strobist site teaches http://www.strobist.com/ ! Well I will post a few from the TriCoast Photo workshop, enjoy! Look for some up comming wedding stuff I have done recently.

Up with the birds! 6:oo am way to early for me!






Well got up real early today and went to downtown Ft Worth, TX to get some morning sunrise shots and did some HDR (High Dynamic Range) shooting! Got some great stuff and was checked by the local police while doing it! Because of 9/11 they said they need to check all people photographing the city, so I submitted to him and gave him my licence and everything checked out. Well here are a few shots I came away with.
You can view some larger files of these shots at www.christophersphotos.com or at www.christophersphotos.smugmug.com also on my gallery at www.betterphoto.com
I usualy post most of my work on www.texasphotoforum.com Well thats enough links for the day, thanks for looking.

Christophers Photography

Welcome to Christopher's Photography!
Join us on our wonderful voyage from the begining of our photography business to the top! I am Christopher and my assistant is my beautiful wife Carmen. Carmen is a Romanian transplant to the USA. We started working together on this venture about a year ago after returning from our trip to our timeshare in Steamboat Springs, CO. After returning home with some great photos from a point & shoot camera I decided to set out and fufill a life long dream of mine, photography! I had know idea at the time it would be where its at only one short year later. Carmen has always loved to tinker with images, creating collages and enhancing them. She now does the majority of our fine post processing.

What I am going to try to do is post in this blog our progress through the venture of a semi-pro photographer to the top of the heap! I truley believe I have what it takes to do this. In just a few months of my gaol I had started to enter phots into contest on www.betterphoto.com I have since had 1 second place and 5 finalist! I also have recieved over 60 Editors Picks. These are out of 26 thousand entries worldwide once a month. I have joined many forums like www.texasphotoforum.com . People that view my work and realize that I have just got started cannot believe the eye I have. I shoot everyday and love to do weddings. You can view some of my work at www.christophersphotos.com & www.christophersphotos.smugmug.com

I get most of my work through word of mouth and some small ads. I would love to start putting more money into marketing, but I spend most on equipment at this time. I believe that if you have the propor tools in you're belt you can accomplish anything! My equipment ranges from 2 Nikons D80, D70 plus a bunch of lens's and Strobist style off camera flash set ups.

What I really believe is that I am at the point where I can shoot with the best of them! If I am n the right spot with a beautiful bride and a beautiful church I will be able to walk away with some of the best shots of the day! A little modest, yes! Finaly in my life I am taking a stand, I rock at this photography business. I am good and keep getting better every day.

Christophers Photography is now booking for weddings, bridals, engagements & more. We do senior shots, headshots and location shots. Basicly we shoot everything! We even have stock photos selling on www.fotolia.com If wish to contact us do so by going to www.christophersphotos.com or call 817-416-0305
