January 2010 update

Thank you all for the opportunity to make my passion for photography such a rewarding career. Without your support my business would not be growing the way it has been over this past year.

 

In 2010, I have decided to expand my business in any and every way possible. I’m going after bigger clients, faster athletes, and more travel.  So I am proud to announce that I now have my landscapes for sale at:

 http://kevinfiscus.redbubble.com

 

This site allows you to purchase my work in the form of greeting cards, mounted prints, matted prints, canvases, as well as framed work. RedBubble handles everything from printing and shipping, allowing quick and easy access to my best work.

If there are any images on this site that you like, but you do not care for the options in sizes or you want a signed piece, please feel free to contact me via email and I will handle it personally. Please note that the canvas prints on this site do not wrap all the way around, leaving the sides white. I am able to have large canvases stretched all the way around, which makes beautiful art that requires no framing.  

 

My goal in 2010 is to allow my clients access to all of my best work, whether it be art for your home or capturing an important event that will create lasting memories for you and your family. I hope this site is a catalyst to realize my sizeable goals. Again, thank your support in the past year. I look forward to another great year in 2010.

 

 

Good Day Sacramento - Got Milk Recreation

A little while back, I had an opportunity to go on Good Day Sacramento to showcase a Got Milk ad campaign I'm working on with Lori Llanillo.  She is a talented designer who I have worked with in the past. www.heylori.com

              

We met up with Mark S Allen for a segment he was doing in downtown Sacramento.  We had Mark jumping off his desk.

Next, Lori and I set up a shot for Tina Macuha where we tossed her Thoughts of the Day" around her while she stayed cool, calm, and collected.  

Finally, Julissa Ortiz is glamorous and alert in the morning when she has her milk with breakfast.

This is a collaborative project that will be included in a Second Saturday show at Beatnik Studios, located in on 17th street between X and Broadway.  The show opens on Saturday 9th at 6pm. 

Art Restoration with Canon 7D

A client asked if there was any way to restore a painting that had been "damaged."

I said sure I can reproduce, and clean up artwork that is old, discolored, or damaged.  I found out this painting had been in the family for a long time and had been used for a target at some point. The person who used it as a target was a good shot too, seems to have one shot in the forehead. 

I set it up outside in bright open shade, took a meter reading and adjusted exposure and white balance. 

 Using the new Canon 7D and it's live view shooting mode I was able to zoom in and adjust critical focus to pick up the texture in the original painting. 

After capture, in Photoshop,  I enjoyed the challenge of restoring the look of this painting while keeping the texture as well as the brush strokes.
