So, you say you just can’t get enough of your favorite Dallas, TX photographer, Jason Janik?!? Well, now you can get even more (you can sense the heavy use of sarcasm as you read this, right?!?) of that super-adorable rock and roll music photographer that all the girls have been screaming for:
Incase you missed it…
Incase you missed picking up the recent issue of D Magazine (a great Dallas magazine that covers all sorts of interesting local stuff) featuring my photos of tasty food, they also have an online version in their archive. Not quite as fancy as the print version, but still looking real good:
More to come, soon…
I’ll post some more here real soon, but it may be another day or two. I have a lot to finish up right now. I need to finish up two projects for two different clients, print an invoice, and do a few other misc things (including the completion of two more portfolios for upcoming meetings and another photo shoot).
Short and sweet…
I’m going to make this post short and sweet. Market yourself. Network. Make connections. If you plan to actually make money from your photography, you NEED to get your name out there. Don’t sit around. “Build it and they will come” only works if you plan to build a baseball field in the middle of a corn field. It doesn’t work for a career in photography.
Archive your images…
Light Impressions may be expensive, they may be slow to deliver, but their products are the best around. I use their archival storage boxes for all my cd’s filled with photo files. I use their archival products to keep my prints safe. I use their linen tape when mounting my prints and sometimes order their mat board (I say sometimes, because Dallas already has some pretty good places to find archival mat board at decent prices).
Playing around with shape and color…
I was on a photo shoot tonight and there was this cool, bubbling, glowing sign. When I got back home to the studio, I noticed how interesting the movement and color was. I decided to crop out a small portion of the bubbles, then repeat the same shape and change the hue over and over. I think it makes for a nice abstract piece…
What you missed…
So, I attended a CADD (the Contemporary Art Dealers of Dallas) event downtown earlier tonight. It was worth attending. As a Dallas photographer, it’s important to keep track of any photography-related events happening around town. Since this one was ALL photography, with contributions for numerous galleries, it seemed like a good event to check out.
Vanity Fair
I thought this video was interesting. You don’t see a ton of actual shooting, but you can get an idea for the amount of production involved in a big magazine cover shoot:
Where you can find me Thursday evening…
This looks like an interesting event (thanks to Dallas photographer Kate Mackley for bringing it to my attention)…
