Rod Evans' Creative Training Series

Jeremy Alm — 2009-03-18T07:27:12-05:00

Rod’s tips will also be a big boost as I book out my senior portrait shoots for the Class of 2010 this summer and fall. ...He has been requested to lecture nationally as well as internationally for a host of venues including PPA's Imaging USA, WPPI, and Senior Portrait Artists Events. Rod's images have been exhibited in art galleries, showcased in Canon training books as well as magazine publications, and he has been featured on the cover of Professional Photographers of America Magazine.

David Tejada Workshop

Jeremy Alm — 2009-03-17T13:21:06-05:00

With 25 years of annual report photography experience, David is equally at home hovering in a helicopter over a drill rig in the Andes, creating dramatic lighting in a laboratory setting or shooting a CEO portrait in New York City. ...With 25 years of location lighting experience under my belt, I’ll show you that you don’t need to load yourself down with lots of expensive gear to achieve big results. ...In addition to the lighting aspect of this workshop, I’ll share my experience in developing a successful corporate photography business as well as how I handle my current workflow.

Site ideas

Jeremy Alm — 2009-03-11T23:03:06-05:00

I’ve looked at a lot of other sites from various genres of photographers and have to say that I don’t like the Flash based sites very much. 90% of them look very similar to each other and have the same “sections” as they are pretty much all template based. Either the templates don’t allow people to stray too far, if at all, or people just take the quick route of filling in the blanks and calling it good. I hope that my site, as far as photographer sites go, has a different feel to it than “90%” of the other photographer sites you see.

David Ziser Workshop

Jeremy Alm — 2009-03-11T00:17:49-05:00

Considered by many to be a "master of lighting", David will demonstrate just how easily and quickly you can light your images beautifully and dramatically, making them stand out from the crowd. Watch how he uses on-camera flash, off-camera flash, filtered flash, bounce flash, and many other lighting techniques to create images that really rise above the crowd in a wedding market that has been diluted with so much flat, one dimensional photography. ...He will share with you his very successful marketing strategies that have enabled his studio to reach the best clients in his market and deliver his highly profitable and most beautiful products ever.

Madden Family

Jeremy Alm — 2008-10-20T22:11:49-05:00

I want to thank the Madden Family for allowing me to shoot their portraits on location at “Madden Hollow.” You have a gorgeous yard that any photographer would love to own! Here are some shots for you to preview before the rest of the images are released online tomorrow.

Stealth Bomber

Jeremy Alm — 2008-10-11T15:21:34-05:00

The football games I was shooting earlier today had an unexpected visitor from nearby Offutt Air Force Base. My maximum focal length at the time was 280mm so these are not very detailed shots, but good for some decent snapshots of the flyovers.

Here's a few recent portraits

I'm famous... well, probably not!

Jeremy Alm — 2008-08-30T01:51:30-05:00

He took a quick pan of me shooting photos of the game and told me he’d use it as a clip in his sportscast later in the evening, which he actually did! ...

2008 Bellevue/Offutt AFB Runway Run

Jeremy Alm — 2008-08-10T13:19:36-05:00

This is a new race in the area that starts in Bellevue and then cruises onto Offutt Air Force Base. ... I’m guessing this will become a favorite event of many people in the future because the runway actually got shut down for the race and runners were treated to amazing sights. The course took them right down the runway and between a pair of F-16 fighter jets.

2008 Papillion Mayor's Triathlon

Jeremy Alm — 2008-07-26T15:29:29-05:00

The shots from today’s triathlon are being uploaded and should be released for viewing sometime tomorrow afternoon, possibly not til the evening. 3,600 images take a wee bit of time to upload! ...She got kind of sick of it about halfway through, just standing around in the heat while dad takes a bunch of pictures! Her spirits lifted after she found a water spicket and soaked her head to cool down before befriending some playful dogs.

My favorite photo

Jeremy Alm — 2008-06-26T13:04:32-05:00

I like the image itself because of the high contrast in lighting and the fact that you don’t see the doctor’s head, just his body as necessary to handle the newborn child. ... The doctor paused, knowing I had the camera in my hand, asked me if I wanted a quick “posed” shot and then handed her off to the waiting nurses to clean her up. ...The image quality is lacking compared to today’s standards because this was shot in Nov. ’99 (yes they had digital cameras back then) using a Sony camera that captured 640x480 pixel images and wrote them to a 1.4MB floppy disk that you slid into the camera rather than the 1GB to 32GB tiny SD or CF cards that cameras use today.

Papillion Days Duathlon

Jeremy Alm — 2008-06-15T14:22:03-05:00

After a quick thunderstorm things really cleared up nicely and the event seemed to go off without a hitch. ... Dept. for sticking it out and waiting for the bad weather to pass. ... They are gonna put some big time hurt on the competition in a few years!

Dance Dynamics Spring Performance: Peace Love & Dance

Jeremy Alm — 2008-06-09T00:54:51-05:00

The portraits started out slow early in the day but really picked up steam as the day went on and people were grasping the fact that I really was taking them for free! This is a collage of shots I pulled out very quickly from the 11,839 images I collected over the past 2 days. ... You can still pre-register on the Dance page for these photos and receive a $5 coupon by email towards the purchase of prints when the event is released.

Close Call for Dora the Explorer

Jeremy Alm — 2008-05-21T21:27:16-05:00

She certainly didn’t have the expression of someone in dire straits as she lay there wide-eyed with her normal, infectiously huge smile. “She must be in shock,” I thought to myself as I dialed 911 after snapping a couple shots of her with my iPhone’s camera. The paramedics and the local fire department were able to remove the laundry hamper and Dora walked away, miraculously, unscathed!

Hubba Bubba

This a huge log that serves as one support of a footbridge in Itasca State Park in Minnesota where the Mighty Mississip begins. You can wade in the headwaters of the Mississippi River as they flow out of Lake Itasca for several hundred meters before you make your way back to this bridge that you crossed walking to the lake to get started in the first place. ...Check out this Itasca State Park article in Wikipedia and you’ll see two more photos that lend actual credibility to my story!
