David H. Well, one of our clients from Rhode Island, has just written a great article on the importance of outsourcing his photographic printing and why he has chosen to use DSI as his preferred lab for B&W; digital printing.

Here is an excerpt from his blog:

“As photographers, outputting our images as final prints, is one area where many photographers think they should invest a lot of time and energy. I am NOT one of them. I know how much per hour I can make if I teach a class, do an assignment or work on my stock photography business. All of those activities pay me much better than spending months, even years, learning how to make first rate prints from my digital files. So, I for one outsource my color printing to: http://www.adoramapix.com. Similarly, I outsource my black and white printing to: http://www.digitalsilverimaging.com/index.php I am now able to get first rate prints for very reasonable costs. The one thing that I invest energy in when it comes to printing my images is the calibrating of my monitor and the profiling of my images to match the profiles of the photo labs that I use. Printing your own work can give you pleasure so that is something to put into the calculation but for me, printing images is work, work that someone else can do better and more efficiently.“

We asked Mark Soares, Professional Services Representative from Precision Camera, to help explain the difference between Infrared (IR) photography done in Photoshop as compared to converting a digital camera to do infrared capture.

Here is how he explained it to us:

“There are a few differences between the real thing and a Photoshop filter applied in post processing. When you use an in-camera high pass filter you are only allowing the camera to expose for the infrared wavelengths, which means your image will be free of most visible light. This may not seem like a big deal to some people but the fact is, when shooting a true IR picture you want to have an image that is as true to that wavelength as possible. Just like the manufacturer’s applied a lowpass filter to block IR light from affecting the image, you should block out everything else when shooting an IR picture.

We are happy to let you know one of our favorite customers, Corinne Schippert, has her photographs on display at Jam N Java, 594 Mass Ave, Arlington. Hours are Monday through Saturday 6:30am to 7pm, on Sunday till 6pm.

An Arlington resident, Corinne Schippert has been a professional photographer for over 15 years. She lives with her husband Winslow Martin, also a photographer, and their son Eliot, a first grader at the Brackett Elementary School.

Corinne has always been drawn to people and in particular rites of passage. She is known for her unique ability to capture expression, emotion and soul. Sometimes with humor, sometimes quite seriously, but always with her own artistic style.

Most of her commercial work thus far has focused on weddings, winning Boston Magazine’s “Best of Boston” wedding photographer in 2002, and last year being recognized by the Improper Bostonian as “Boston’s Best” wedding photographer. She is trusted by Boston’s most prestigious wedding planners to cover events from the most intimate gatherings to the largest, most opulent galas.

Now deeply immersed in family life herself, Corinne brings the insight and love of being a parent to her children’s photography. Her approach is to meet the child on their own level and BE with them, to photograph them as they are. This means playing, having fun, living in the moment. It is childhood at its best.

All work is done with the most critical eye for quality and craftsmanship. Black & white digital images are custom printed on true black and white papers, producing the most archival prints available today.

A special thanks to Eric Luden of Digital Silver Imaging in Belmont for his support in printing all of the black and white images in this show.

Commissions are now booking for Summer and Fall 2009.
