Party Picture Technique: If you are the darkroom enthusiast type of photographer who would be interested in processing for night club customers, you probably know all about high-speed methods. But if you have any questions on this technique write to: Customer Service Department of Eastman Kodak Co., Rochester, N.Y.; or Ansco, Binghamton, N.Y.; or E. I. du Pont De Nemours & Co., Photo Products Div., Wilmington, Del.from a complete coverage of a party picture technique given by one of your friends. You can show the pictures to a hostess who is planning a party picture technique and ask her, "How would you like to have a set of pictures like these taken at your party picture technique?"
There are only two probable replies when you ask any normal hostess this question: "I'd love it!" or "How much would it cost me?"
Having established his own studio in Vallauris, Picasso began to paint tiles. The ceramic product only functioned as the background of the picture, of course, but Picasso was extremely fond of this technique because glaze, unlike oil, does not change its quality after a number of years. He often combined several tiles in a large picture, so as not to be dependent on the limited format of one tile. It was thanks to Picasso that pottery experienced a revival in this little town.
Any good photographer will soon work out standard Lighting plans and exposure and development constants, so that catalog technique becomes a routine which produces good pictures almost automatically.
All-in-all, catalog photography can hardly be considered exciting, but a few catalog accounts can provide an excellent bread-and-butter basis for anyone.
I was awakened in the small hours of the morning several years ago by a telephone call from a man who wanted to pay me a hundred dollars to come and take one picture of a beautiful woman, just one simple single-flash picture. Perhaps you can guess why this picture, which he could ordinarily have got someone to take for five or ten dollars, was so important to him that he offered a hundred. It was because the beautiful woman was his estranged wife, from whom he was seeking a divorce, and she was at that tune in a compromising situation. |
