  1. Since my health has made it harder for me to get out as often, to do my landscapes and wildlife, I’ve moved much more towards still life and food photography. As I was a chef for twenty years I enjoy the food elements more but it’s all really challenging.

  2. Thanks Tony and Chelsea for such amazing videos. I just recently found your video and was very inspired by watching them. Just purchased the Stunning Photography and Lightroom book, can't wait to start learning. Thanks again and keep rocking!

  3. rule of space? Haven't heard of that one yet- will have to look it up I guess- any suggesitons for sites showing what symbolisms go qwith what objects? also do you have a video discussing the rule of space?

  4. Very nice, particularly the point that front lighting would be flattening and I think desaturated of the interesting colors. I think I would after the main shot. Shot another frame with only the coat pulled to the left, reshaping the ruffles for variety and then to the right and combined the three in PS and used thatΒ  behind foreground items.

  5. I love the video as well. Very informative. I also just found out that I may be a little OCD, because the crooked candles were driving me crazy! LOL! Keep doing what you're doing.

  6. New subscriber here (also seriously considering your book) and I liked the video but don't get me wrong "The crooked candles drove me nuts!" Was there any symbolism there, like no one is perfect or am I just an -sshole? Ha ha!

  7. Love this video.. You just opened up a whole new door for me.. I love traditional archery and so does my family ,got a killer ideal, as soon as I set it up and take pics ,I will send it to you and tell me what you think… plus we got to see your goofy side?,may have had something to do with that glass of wine hahahaha.

  8. Awesome video! And good to know that the BLURay is a single disc! Awesomeness! Can't wait to get the book!

    P.s. Tony is a lucky guy! You are adorable. Lol but Tony is the man so I wouldn't wish anything but the best for your family! You guys are awesome out of all the people I follow I learn the most from you two!

  9. Beautiful image, the still life's final photograph. Aside from the knowledge needed for the photograph, what a great way to develop an eye for composition when the weather is uncooperative! Still life in painting has had a long history from arrangements of objects for the sake of visual qualities (food, flowers, or tools), for religious purposes (vanitas), and for its broader symbolic content, usually with meanings easily understood by a literate audience. Thank you, not a boring concept or post, at all.

  10. Chelsea, I took art history when I was in college so I can appreciate the art style, and you did a great job incorporating the concepts into your photo. It was really nice to hear about the symbolism, hearing you talk about your daughter and Tony, and the wedding ring was a nice touch. Well done!Β
