President’s Message
September: A Month to Remember Our Legacy What will our legacy be in 127 years? That may sound too far away, too unrealistic to imagine still having an influence, but we never know how the way we use our talents will transform the lives of others. Labor Day, celebrated on the first Monday of September, gets the lion’s share of notice. The first observance was with a parade, held to encourage support for the eight hour work day. At that time, people normally worked twelve hours—with no air conditioning, ergonomic work accessories, smart phones, or telecommuting. And there was no Starbucks to visit on the way to the job. In the past, it was also the last weekend before the school year started. Now August claims that position. However, many families use the Labor Day weekend to take a final vacation at summer’s end. Others enjoy beach or pool time, or have barbeques to prepare for the fall football season. But as photographers we have another reason to celebrate. In September 1888, George Eastman got his patent for the roll-film camera and the EastmanKodak company soon was off to becoming one of America’s major corporations.
“And a bit baffled, I suppose.” He waves off further questions. “It’s you I’m interested in hearing about.”
Imagine looking up from this newsletter and seeing George Eastman smile and extend his hand to shake yours. Despite your surprise, you rise, shake hands, and motion for him to take a seat.
“I understand that you and I share a love of photography, of taking and preserving images for our lives and beyond.”
He removes his very fashionable hat of the late 1800s and places it on his knees. “Thank you so much for giving me a part of your day.” Trying not to sputter, you respond, “Of course, I’m delighted…”
“Me?”
Still stunned, you simply nod. “Since my time here, photography has grown in so many ways.” He gestures to your very contemporary studio. “Would you catch me up on the way you work, the innovations you use, and how you chose this wonderful career? I’d also love to hear about your clients.” TAPPA Tribune

What follows is, of course, your story—too long to record here, but worth reviewing in the light of the many who came before you, and paved the way for you to do what you do.
3 Top Notch Mentors, 3 Hour Workshops over the next 3 Months
November may be the month where our nation designates a day for gratitude, but let’s make September our special time of thanksgiving for our talents and our opportunities. Who knows what legacy our lives and our images will be?
You won’t want to miss this epic opportunity to spend 3 hours with 3 of TAPPA’s top notch mentors.
In the midst of our unexpectedly busy lives, we may lose our long-term perspective. We bless others with our work. We capture memories that can touch future generations. We give people the ability to remember their achievements, and the faces of those who matter the most. To prime our wells of gratitude, let’s consider the following: When did I take my first picture? Who encouraged my early efforts? What events and people shaped me? Who have I mentored? These are three people I’m grateful for. Now, if George shows up to talk, we’ll be ready. Looking forward to seeing you at our next TAPPA meeting on September 8th. Hope you plan to be there as it’s always a fun evening. The networking contacts and friendships we create with our members are worth the cost. Add to it, the talented monthly speaker, door prizes, and dinner! It’s an investment in yourself and your business. All the best, Susan
Workshops will be hands-on, intimate (6 participants per class) and chock full of information. We will be featuring one mentor each month over the next three months.

SEPTEMBER’S WORKSHOP: CHUCK VOSBURGH September 12th - 9 AM to 12 PM “One light, One Reflector, 16 Looks” Learn how to get beautiful images with minimal equipment. OCTOBER’S WORKSHOP: KEVIN NEWSOME October 10th - 9 AM to 12 PM “The Basics of Studio Lighting and Posing” NOVEMBER’S WORKSHOP: RANDY VAN DUINEN November 12th - 5 PM to 8 PM “Light Painting the Night Up!” Register online by submitting your payment through Paypal.

5 Simple Ways to Create Expressive Photos in Black and White A Post By: Chris Corradino
Can you visualize the world around you in black and white? It’s not easy to do at first with an array bright colors competing for your attention. Look a little closer however, and you may recognize the broad potential for expressive imagery. Of course, not every situation lends itself to this artistic style. There are however, certain characteristics you can look for, to identify the best opportunities.
1) Embrace High Contrast A subject with dark shadows and bright highlights would not be ideal for a color photograph. In fact, it’s one of the reasons techniques like HDR have become so popular. Yet, for black and white
photography, this type of high contrast light can be extremely effective. The harsh mid-afternoon sun is no longer a detriment, but an enhancement. This is a major shift in the way one thinks about exposure. To help recognize these chances, look beyond what is immediately evident and previsualize the scene in grayscale. A scene you passed on, in color may prove quite dramatic in black and white.
As is always the case in all good art, rules are meant to be broken. The same is true with black and white exposures. You have even more flexibility as shadows can be inky black, and highlights can clip the histogram while retaining the image’s visual appeal. To maximize the TAPPA Tribune

dynamic range of the camera, use the “ETTR” technique (expose to the right). Rather than a muddy exposure, you’ll enjoy the crisp contrast of the full tonal range.
2) Simplify with Shape and Form In the absence of color, shapes and patterns become more pronounced. Lighter tones will stand out boldly when placed in front of a darker area. This is an effective way emphasize the important parts of a subject while minimizing distractions. To compose this way, think about the process of subtraction. What can you remove from the image that’s not essential to the story? As you simplify, the design of the photo will get stronger.
Even something as simple as a shadow on the ground can be used creatively. To the human eye, detail is evident in the pavement, but with a camera they can be rendered as inky black. This may be a very different style of seeing for you. To practice, I recommend taking a photo hike in which you search for nothing but shadows. You may be pleasantly surprised by how many interesting shots you’ll find.

4) Imagine a Mood Blue skies are often used to symbolize happiness. You’ll see this pattern in magazine ads, television commercials, and even movies. Black and white images however, are associated with a different variety of moods. The precise emotion is ultimately up to the viewer, but a few common themes include solitude, contemplation, and pensiveness. Photographers of all genres can work with these traits to effectively portray their vision.
3) Details Tell a Story It’s been said that a person’s eyes are the windows to their soul. Their character however, can often be revealed in their hands. In black and white, the subtle details that often go unnoticed become more evident. Wrinkles and texture, for example, benefit from a deeper more textured appearance. This method is especially effective when using flat or overhead light. Typically this direct light would be undesirable, but in grayscale it can be preferable to that of a softer, diffused quality light.
Use your imagination to visualize the mood you want an image to have. A great place to start is to study some of the masters. While Ansel Adams’ landscapes in black and white are very well known, go further in your research. For example, look at the emotion in Edward Weston’s famous “Pepper No. 30”. Another fine representation of this medium is “White Sands, New Mexico” by Ernst Haas. Of course the list goes on, but these are a good place to start. A visit to a local library will undoubtedly prove inspirational as you may discover work by artists you are not yet familiar with.
5) Dark Spaces and Silhouettes Subjects that linger in darkness are sometimes more compelling than well-lit scenes. Using black

and white photography, you have the ability to show the world in a completely different way. Instead of eliminating the shadowy areas, use them to your advantage. An empty space can actually be an effective method of composition. This type of artistic exposure is more edgy than a literal interpretation.

TAPPA Tribune
Take a look through your own catalog of images. There will likely be a number of photos that could be quite dramatic as a black and white. As you convert them from color, experiment with different post production filters to see how it impacts the scene. For example, a blue filter may lighten the sky dramatically, whereas a yellow filter will make it darker. If you’re looking for even greater control, there are a number of excellent plugins available. One of my favorites is Exposure by Alien Skin as it offers nearly endless customization. More terrific options include software by Nik, Topaz, and OnOne.
Candidates for the Board of Directors At the October meeting, members of TAPPA will vote to fill board positions. Here are some of the candidates: Karen Barnett has worked as a photographer for over 20 years and owns a full service studio in Port Richey, FL specializing in Wedding, Bridal, Portrait, Commercial, and Professional Sports. Awarded the Florida Education Degree (FED) from Florida Professional Photographers Nearing achievement of the Florida Service Award (FSA) Serves on the advisory board for the Pinellas Technical College photography department Long term professional memberships include: Professional Photographers of America (PPA), Florida Professional Photographers (FPP), Southeast Professional Photographers (SEPPA), Tampa Area Professional Photographers (TAPPA), & National Association of Photoshop Professionals (NAPP) FPP Sign Committee Chairperson (Convention & Florida School) past 5 years. Also currently serves on the sunday devotions, welcome, props, flea market, & equipment committees (past 2 years), and has served on the photography committee. Volunteer Work: Big Brothers/Big Sisters (recently named ‘Big Sister of the Year’ by Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Tampa Bay) Heart Gallery
Habitat for Humanity Volunteer rescue and rehabilitation of wild and domestic animals (currently 68 of them) Sponsors ‘anti bullying’ & self confidence program for teenage girls Christian outreach programs A major concern is rebuilding membership levels and promotion of TAPPA within the local community. A large membership allows for increased and more diverse training opportunities, and the ability to draw top level speakers to share their knowledge with the group. Seeing TAPPA return to the large and vibrant group that it was a decade ago is a primary goal. The tampa bay area has a wealth of talented and skilled photographers. By interacting on a professional level, photographers learn and grow, which is essential for continued success.
Terri Daunic, the founder and owner of Ballast Point Fine Art Portraiture Studio in Tampa, FL, brings several years of experience in the art and science of photography. She has completed numerous courses, workshops, and programs in the art of modern digital photography, including the use and application of Adobe Photoshop and Corel Painter. Her principal areas of work and study have been in Family Portraiture and Executive Portraits. TAPPA Tribune

Benjamin Todd I am Benjamin Todd. I own BW Todd Photography studio . I was President of TAPPA in 2014 and my goal for that year was to raise enough money to award a record number of scholarships to FL School. I am an active participant in TAPPA, FPP, and PPA activities. I am running for reelection to the TAPPA Board of Directors.
Glenn Nielsen I grew up on a farm in southwestern Utah. Every day I worked side by side with my father. From him I learned the value of hard work, resourcefulness, and most importantly, the value of a man’s word. Contracts were made on a handshake. There was always farm work to be done both before and after school. After high school, I graduated from the Air Force Academy and began to live my life long dream as a fighter pilot. I served 22 years during which I flew 200 combat missions in Vietnam. I have been in 30+ countries In 2008 after 16 days visiting some of the most ancient sites in China, for which I had purchased my first digital camera, I had over 4000 images, most of which were good, a few of which were stunning. This was so exciting. Not only could I take great pictures, but I could see the results immediately. The more I learned, the more I realized I needed to know. I worked on my technical skills. Achieving the CPP was for me validation that I was good enough to call myself
a photographer. I also began to work on business skills with the same passion I had for photography. It would be necessary to develop a relationship with my clients. I realized I thrive on establishing a relationship with my clients so that I become a friend. I want them to be completely comfortable that my motivation is to give them the images that they want to proudly display on their living room wall for all of their friends to see. When they look at that image, I want them to remember how much fun it was, what a great experience they had when they took the image. In a perfect world, not only would the moment be etched into their memory forever, the experience would be something they would remember and talk about forever. It is the journey. The end product merely reminds one of how great the path to get there turned out to be.
Amanda Pratt I am a recent transplant to Florida from Michigan and just completed my first year in business in the area. I mainly photograph children, seniors and families. I enjoy being a photographer because I am challenged to get lost in creative vision. I began taking photos as a way to use my creativity for the purpose of self care as a full time social worker working with at risk youth. In my creative work I tend to create images that portray great strength and power as well as images that feel calm and comforting. I have a background in black and white film photography which jump started my passion for creating and printing images. I am pursuing my CPP and have enjoyed every minute of my memberships with TAPPA, FPP, SEPPA and PPA, TAPPA Tribune

TAPPA Member Glenn Nielsen Publishes a New Book
This book is not written for the members of TAPPA. It is written for their clients. It is written for 26-year old Michelle. Perhaps you know her. She is the mother of a 2-year old boy and is 6-months pregnant with her second child, a girl. Michelle and her husband David live in a two story home on Davis Islands. David is a doctor with a private practice as well as a presence in Tampa General Hospital. Michelle works as a manager for Verizon Wireless which requires long days and often conference calls at night. She loves the challenge of her job and although it takes time away from her family, she is not willing to give up the satisfaction that she gets from it. Michelle and David are both health conscious with memberships in the local gym. They are both in great shape and can turn heads anytime they walk into a room. Michelle is socially aggressive having been very popular throughout her childhood. She was the Homecoming Queen and a cheerleader in high school. They are both very intelligent and self-sufficient. They have all the latest gadgets and technology toys. David has a Nikon D4S camera with all the appropriate accessories, because he can afford it, not because he is an accomplished photographer. Michelle has a Nikon D810 which she rarely uses because she
18
TAPPA Tribune
prefers the convenience of her Apple i6 cell phone. They both rely on the automatic functions of the camera when they do use it. Michelle takes a lot of pictures which she proudly posts on Facebook and Instagram. They always garner positive comments about what great pictures she takes. She likes this notoriety. Her favorite subjects are her family and friends. She has had no photography training, just her own experience. I am not trying to make Michelle or David professional photographers. The intent of the book is to describe some of the limitations of cameras, how those limitations affect the quality of the photograph taken, and how to minimize the limitations in order to take better quality images. It is my intent to describe necessary photographic theory in a simplistic way that can be understood by the average person using a camera. Everything in photography is a compromise. The better one understands what is being sacrificed to get the desired effect, the better the image will be. Improving that understanding is my goal.

Building Business Affiliations For Your Photography Business By Rachel Brenke, TheLawTog
Have you ever noticed when you’re out in public that crowds tend to gather? Traffic backs up for no reason in certain spots? This is because humans are creatures who naturally want companionship. If you look around the world you’ll see natural pairings and companionships in various places. Even most animals approach life together in schools and flocks. This is because everything is safer and easier in numbers. Going at business alone can be dangerous. You run the risk of burning out, being overwhelmed, and/or going slower than you would with a companion. I know I know, many of us are business owners and entrepreneurs because we desire to run our own business – but let us be honest: even working in an industry where we work with people, it can still be lonely. We want that companionship. We fear failure, and crave a safe feeling of companionship. Sitting behind a computer (or camera) for hours on end and working through paperwork can feel very isolating. You start to wonder if you are the only one going at it . You wonder if you are the only one struggling with feeling overwhelmed.
Why should you cultivate business relationships? Companionships are just the tip of why affiliations with local businesses are critical to the mental and physical health of your business (and you). Business affiliations are good for the mind and soul – but even more than that, they open up a world of new paths to clients. In marketing, your goal is to get in the target client’s path. They are running along – and you want to be right there with them
to tell them about your products and services. But you have to find where they are. This, in and of itself, is overwhelming – so why try to manage it alone? I attribute business affiliations as one of the key cornerstones to business success. (You thought I was gonna say being legal huh? Well that is part of it, but that’s not the be-all end-all.) Without business affiliations to open up new fields of potential clients with whom you can develop relationships and learn new market penetration strategies, you’ll be left behind. Alone. You may be thinking that it’s scary to reach out to other businesses. There’s a fear of rejection. A fear of letting them down. A fear of failure with someone else watching. Let me tell you, fellow business colleagues will not think less of you. In fact, they will see and speak more highly of you for putting yourself out there and trying. If you try then fail – then you do. But you have a higher probability of success, while sharing the workload, if you put yourself out there to create a business affiliation with someone who.. guess what…is already doing what you want to achieve!
So how do you go about doing this? Identify partnerships that make sense When developing business partnerships you need to commit to research and a strategic thought TAPPA Tribune

process for the planning. Picking business owners merely because they are in your local area is a bad idea.
Women’s Photographer (boudoir, glamour, beauty) Spas Salons Fitness Centers Massage Therapists
First, go through the process of making sure you pick someone who has your target client coming to their doorstep. If you spend your time facilitating relationships that will not result in either direct referrals of target clients, or create a pass through relationship to another business that can provide these referrals, then you’re wasting time. And we all know that time is money. Lost time is even more important than lost money in marketing. Time spent not marketing, or marketing incorrectly, puts you behind the curve. Which, yes, does result in lost money and clients down the road.
Always weigh the positives against the negatives in what you find for any business affiliation. Once you’ve identified who to reach out to – it is time to propose the affiliation.
Second, geographic location is also not an indicator of a good businessperson – even if they have been in business with a brick and mortar location for many years. You never know what is on the books, or how they are perceived by the community. This is why you should always pick individuals you would proudly refer to your clients and ones that would be proud to have your work displayed in their location. You can check out the reputation of the community by simply asking others in your local area. A simple post on your Facebook friends profile could do this for you. You can also check online reviews – keeping in mind there are sometimes customers who are never satisfied and leave scathing reviews cause they have nothing else to do.

Propose an affiliation For a business affiliation to be successful you must be willing to do the work as well. A proposal should identify what you want them to do for you, what you can provide for them, along with the accompanying terms to the arrangement. Many successful business affiliations with photographers have the following terms proposed: Referral fees paid from Photographer to Business Affiliate upon successful booking (or sale) to a referred client Display of photographic materials in the Business Affiliate’s place of location Distribution of Photographer’s marketing materials in the Affiliate’s place of location (such as a flyer on the counter, or provided in the customer’s bag upon purchase). Be sure to propose an affiliation and all terms in a professional manner that will be well and successfully received. Providing a professionallypresented and well-thought out proposal will aid in the business affiliate’s decision and implementation of proposed strategies. Afraid of rejection? Just ask. The ultimate rejection is counting yourself out before someone tells you no.
