Behind the Jeff Bridges Cover Shoot

[Jerry Avenaim]

I suppose I'm posting this because it's often nice to hear the story behind a shoot and not just the lighting and technical dynamics. Although that will follow in the next article.

Read the article here.

If you have any thoughts or feedback, I would live to hear it.

if it made the cover of a magazine I don't think it belongs in the beginners section I also don't think there would be much C&C needed if it was good enough to make the cover

Hmmmm. Well I thought it would be nice for beginners to get a little back story on a high profile photo shoot. But then again, I would want to read it as well from another photographer...

Any suggestions of where a better place for it would be Sarah?

people photography, somewhere in the business section...

I'm not trying to be a smart ass or anything, but your comment kind of came off (since it's on the internet and we can't read tone of voice) as a smart ass

I hope one day my work is half as good as yours, lol

I'm a beginner and want to thank you for sharing. I hope to have my own photography business and love reading the behind-the-scenes stuff. Waiting for the next one...

Thank you for the feedback, I'm glad anyone who read the article enjoyed the back story. The next entry will be the entire shoot with lighting diagrams that I hope you'll find quite helpful

Sarah- Assume good faith when someone takes the time to reply to you.

I haven't had a chance to read the article yet but I do appreciate your posting it here for the amateurs.

Thanks for posting this; I, too, am a huge fan of The Big Lebowski (as all true human beings are). I'm definitely interested to see something about the technical aspects of the shoot.
