'Before The Shutter' with Harley Bainbridge PhotographyColour Space, Calibration, Skin Tones and Camera Image Style by a Dummy for Beginners.It's been a while!
June was a busy one for me so had to take a break for a bit.
As I was doing my monitor calibration last week I thought it would make an interesting video/podcast talking about how and why cameras and screens translate colours and why we need to make corrections.
I'm no expert but know enough to get by so I'm hoping this is useful for those who are stating out and wondering why their images don't look accurate or correct when displayed on different screens and printers.2022-07-0726 min
'Before The Shutter' with Harley Bainbridge PhotographyFake News? The Story of Migrant Mother and How it Was Changed.Hi everyone!
Thank you once again for the amazing engagement and support you've been offering, we're still a small group but I'm so appreciative to everyone who has watched and subscribed to my channel.
This week I'm talking about the story of Migrant Mother and how it was manipulated in order to provide a story which the editor and creator felt was more engaging.
You could call it 'Fake News', but was this a purposeful change or a mere mixup of details by the photographer?
And in the case of Migrant...2022-05-0314 min'Before The Shutter' with Harley Bainbridge PhotographyMust Have Books to Improve your Photography!After a few weeks of burying myself in work and research I’ve finally got round to making a new video & Podcast!
This week we will be talking about improving your art and photography by investing in reading instead of equipment.
These are some of my favourite books and make a great set of introductions to deeper reading and delving into more specific topics over time.
Consider it essential reading for upcoming video topics, hopefully helping you develop as much as they helped me :)

Thank you for all the recent support on my photography videos and podcast!
In this video I'm taking a look at the myth that Victorians were always miserable. Typically we see lots of portrait photographs with the subject looking very wooden and stoic, so I thought I'd share how the use of posing supports, the limited technological ability of cameras, and the conventions of portraiture dictated how the photographs looked.

Conventions of Photography How They Give Meaning to an ImageIn this episode I'm taking a look at the 2006 portrait of Steve Jobs that has become one of the most iconic photographs of the last 20 years. We'll be discussing why it works so well, what we can understand from what we see and a little about why we shouldn't just copy what Albert Watson did when making this superb photograph.

'Before The Shutter' with Harley Bainbridge PhotographyWhat should I charge for photography? - A guide for the cost of a photographerI have recently had the same question asked by at least 4 different people?
How much should I charge for photography? This also falls into the question, how much does photography cost?
I wanted to try and answer this question for both new photographers but also those who aren't familiar with booking a photographer.
Hopefully you'll find this useful for planning your own business or help explain what it is you are paying for when you book a session or project with a freelancer.

Those who know my podcast and channel already will know that the focus of my writing is not on the technological side of photography but the theoretical and critical.

I hope this finds you all well and ready for the coming lifting of lockdown restrictions, please remember to stay safe!
This week I actually managed to stick to my schedule and record a new episode!
I decided to do a very off the cuff episode this week as I had quite a few experiences of misinformation, trolling and general hi-jinx which at some points frustrated and demoralised me but only in passing. This was quite a new thing as usually I struggle to stay on track and recover quickly from career knock-backs but this week I found...2021-04-0257 min'Before The Shutter' with Harley Bainbridge PhotographyWhat Can a Photograph Tell Us? reading 'A Wall in Paris, Texas' - Wim WendersHI everyone
