Getting your camera taken in for its 5,000 mile service and oil change (just kidding) is a habitual need for heavy users of their photography equipment.

Planning a live model shoot and planning some excellent tableaux. We’ve got four different “types” mapped out. There is an Everyman, a “Obama” type, a Las Vegas gambler, and a religious right-wing zealot. We will be doing video and I will be taking screenshots from the MP4 files.
There is an important message here for microstock (and all photographers). While “Make Me A Supermodel winner Jen Hunter looks as if this outfit was custom-made for her”, the costume, styling, posing and lighting make all the difference.

I just had to get a better picture taking instrument for me.
