sometimes I really wonder how I get myself into these messes. But yes. I will be doing segment on KSL's STUDIO 5 this friday (show airs at 11:00 am). I will be discussing PHOTOGRAPHY, particularly, how to find/what makes a good background, both indoor and out, as well as how to set up some DIY indoor backgrounds. Basically, the idea is to help moms take better pictures of their kids with the help of a few tips! So here's the thing. I normally wouldn't take the time to announce to the world that I'm about to make a complete fool of myself ( I like to keep the public humiliation factor to a minimum), but I am asking for a little help from all you photo enthusiasts out there! We are in the process of putting together the dialog of the show with some of the producers, so what I want to know is...
WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE? what would you like to know how to do with backgrounds. Is there anything specific you would want to see discussed on the show?
Please share. No question is to basic or complicated. So let's hear it!
Oh. and I am also accepting advice on what I should wear. Or how to do my hair. Or how not to look chunky....? Or how not to trip, drool, forget my name, you know. That sort of thing. Anyone want to go shopping this week??!
How to deal with common "lighting" issues? Like, if my baby is happy and I have to take the picture now, what do I do? Open the window, turn off the flash, what?
ReplyDeleteAnd, if you could cover how to be amazing like you - that would be great, too! Good luck, we'll be cheering you on from the state of WA!
how fun! good for you!
ReplyDeletei'll be on my way to st. george, but please record it for me.
i'm the same way about getting infront of the camera.. so when my jewelry was on good things utah i said i would not be going on with it. ha ha.. i made them do it.
i know you'll do great!!
can't wait till you get back so we can hang out!
I am so excited for you. You will do and look great no matter what you say. I want to know anything that has to do with taking great pictures of tiny babies. How do I make it look natural when she is asleep on the couch or with her brother or sister.
ReplyDeleteGood luck. SoCal is cheering you on!
Jess, you will do great! Hmm...as far as questions go, here are a few ideas. What color of background is best (or color combo ideas)? What textures would you recommend? What are some cheap ways to get great backdrops at your house (inside or out)? You take great pictures, so you will know what to say. I LOVE looking at all your pics!
ReplyDeleteI will definitely tune in and I will definitely not laugh at you. As for what you should wear....I really like that yellow wrap sweater thing that I saw you wear at the gym. It's way cute. I would tell you to wear the famous white coat, but you would probably sweat your balls off.
ReplyDeleteare you freaking kidding me? I just wrote the longest, greatest comment and it got deleted when I tried to change accounts. Why don't they warn you? To sum it up:
ReplyDelete1-"sweat your balls off?" funny, love her, whoever she is.
2-wrap sweater? don't know it, but probably a good bet, things that wrap=good (generally)
3-people like it when people on tv make asses of themselves. it's endearing. that said, i am sure you'll do fantastic.
4-shopping? yes, please. call me, I have returns to make as well.
5-oh, and my photography question- how to do depth of field with a sucky, non-professional camera?
the end
goodnight & welcome home
p.s. how does one go about getting asked to go on studio 5?
I can't wait to see this! You will do great, hopefully you don't pick up a stuttering problem from today to friday. HAHA I miss you I tried calling you last night I have the funniest thing to tell you. You will DIE!
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I loved the piece, and you were wonderful! Now it's time to watch the clients roll in (sigh, even less time to yourself). I guess that's the price you pay for being fabulous.
ReplyDeleteK I just finished watching the show, GREAT JOB GIRL!!! Those were great tips you had!! You are going to get so much business from doing the show, good thinking!!
ReplyDeleteHi! Blog stalker here! I found your blog awhile back and I love it, but i hadn't looked at in in awhile (sorry). Then today, as I'm heading out the door for work, I look at the TV and saw you! You did a great job and I loved your outfit!
ReplyDeleteSo anyway, sorry for the randomness, but I just had to let you know you did great!
Jessica-- you did so great on Studio 5! I was pumped to read that you were going to be on there. It's fun to see what your personality is like and learn some great tips! I'm having a baby in September, and I just bought my first SLR, so THANKYOU-- I loved hearing the advice you had to share. I will put it to use as soon as I learn the darn camera a little better. ;)
ReplyDeleteI too LOVE Allegra's mat-board backdrop trick! So fun that you shared it!
You are such an amazing photographer. I love snooping the photography blog and seeing your latest work.
Do you have pricing info you can give me? jaciudy{at}gmail

P.S. your max is adorable!
Jess you did great on studio five!!! You gave great advice and you looked so good!!! I just wanted to say CONGRATS!
