Hi everyone! I came across a really cool site this week! And they wrote a post about SnapChick! I’m so excited about that, so I wanted to tell you guys a little more about Robert and Anthony and what they’ve been doing with their site!
Here’s what Rob and Anthony have to say about it…
Community Connect is a community network and news website for the state of New Jersey. It is our view of the world through New Jersey eyes. We blog about a little bit of everything from local news stories, the latest tech and entertainment, video games, sports, show case art, and throw some funny viral videos in there too! What makes us different from other blogs is that we love to showcase and connect the little bloggers and artisans and businesses specifically out here in NJ. Connecting the community is our nature (Itβs In our name – Lol) and we try to build bridges any way we can even itβs just to share a laugh or some local knowledge.
What’s super cool about their site is that, although much of their content is focused on NJ, they break outside the borders sometimes and feature stories, videos, people (like me!), and places from all over! From a reader standpoint, I really like that they are doing that, as it is a good example for other local sites… respect your primary topic, but keep your readers engaged with a variety of content, too. They’re doing it, and they’re doing it right!
So, even if you’re not from NJ, check out their site, and I’m sure you will find something that you like there!
Oh, and are you on Facebook? They are, too!
I was SO HAPPY to have Nicole Renee back in the studio to help me film some lighting videos for Linco. While she was here, we spent a couple hours building up her portfolio. This is just Part 1… lots more to come! π
VIPs, remember to log in for more pics and a detailed discussion of the lighting, studio, and camera setup! In Part 2 and Part 3 there are more pics and a detailed VIP video!

Hi! Today I’m wrapping up my three part series on Commercial Photography and Processing Techniques! You can find Part 1 here and Part 2 here. The video for VIP’s is down below, where I talk about the mechanics of the lighting and camera that I used in the shoot and also the thinking behind various cropping techniques used for commercial photography.
For EVERYONE, the pictures are all here! VIP’s… scroll down for your video π
...
Howdy! Before I became a bit under the weather, I began working on upcoming my Tips for Commercial Photography video. I’ve been working with the photos, cropping and processing them in various ways.
I wanted to share some of my progress with the production.
Email me at any time… secrets@snapchick.com and let me know what you think!
VIP’s, enjoy the additional shots below π XOXOXO
UPDATE: You can find Part 1 here and Part 3 here!

OK, before my knee surgery, I made sure to get a couple of shoots “in the can.” I decided that I would do some tight cropping and some other techniques that you might not use in a normal portrait shoot. Pick up nearly any fashion/arts/style magazine and you will see interesting examples of commercial photography. With commercial and “high fashion” photography, you are going for something different… the extremes.
Now, if you have seen my style, you know that I do not like to process to the point of “fake plastic” images, so my take on commercial involves a lot of cropping, but is a little light on the skin smoothing.
Now, what I want you all to do is check out some magazines and other commercial shots. Think about how you can incorporate some of the extreme elements into your own style…
This is the first of two parts… the first outfit is in this part.
The second part will have a video and a special VIP video to go along with it. While I work on those videos, please enjoy these shots.
All shots were with the D3100 using the 50mm f1.8G lens. It’s a fun combo!
