"It's time once again to ask a well-known photographer, instructor or otherwise interesting person the same 10 questions and ask them to Finish the Sentence! This week the sentences are finished by.... David Tejada.
David, please Finish the Sentence..."
My favorite photography accessory (lights, modifier, bag, tripod) is
I actually have two items that are very important to me. First are my PocketWizards. I can't get lit shots like this without them.
And second, it's my tripod. A stable platform is a necessity in order to have sharp images.
I’ve learned the most from..
The Web! "Kelby Training Online" is by far the best! What a wonderful collection of talent to lean from.
If I could go anywhere in the world it would be_____ because….
I have always wanted to visit Venice, Italy. I've traveled all over the world shooting assignments but have never made it there. I want to shoot there because of the stunning photos I've seen created there.
My most-used Photoshop add-on, plugin, action set (etc) is
I have an action I created that allows me to produce a portrait makeover in 5 minutes. Skin softening, red-eye reduction, teeth brighting and a B/W conversion. I also like Alien Skin Exposure 2.
I love the fact that Photoshop
Has brought me into the light. No more mixing chemicals and standing for hours over trays processing prints in the dark.
I hate the fact that Photoshop
Can suck so much time away from me, it's a love hate relationship for me. It's very reminiscent of the darkroom days when I'd use all the air up in the darkroom. Photoshop allows you to create so many different variations of the same photo.
If I could turn back the clock 10 years
I would have bought more Adobe and Apple stock.
In 10 years
I hope to still be actively shooting and teaching workshops around the country, I love teaching.
If I could give one piece of advice it would be
Do what you love and have a passion for. Life is too short to do otherwise!
