PHOTOGRAPHY
 | Do you have an online gallery where one can view your photos? http://www.jc-ruiz.com |
| For how long have you done photography? How did you begin? I've always dabbled in photography but I did not make a serious push into until 2005. It just started out as a hobby and I quickly made it a passion of mine. Since 2005 I've done a little bit of everything photography wise. |
| What has been your education as a photographer? As far as my education goes, i've been pretty much self taught. What I learn from reading books, blogs and forums I go practice out in the field. I think you can learn the basics from books etc. but to truly learn aspects of photography you must be constantly shooting |
| What is your favourite type of photography? My favorite type of photography is landscape. I love capturing sun rises and sunsets. The colors are always amazing. |
| What do you try to express through your photography? I try to express how a certain scene or photo looks from my perspective. I try to invoke emotion from the person viewing the photo. |
| How do you choose your subjects? I normally choose subjects that are of interest to me. I try not to shoot what others shoot or in the same manner etc. I always like to be creative and shoot things the way I see or want to see them etc. |
| What type of preparation do you do before undertaking the photo session? I usually go and scout the location to see which time has the best light. I make sure I have all the gear needed to capture the shot etc. |
| Do you normally photograph with a purpose already in mind, or do you let yourself go with the flow? A little bit of both. Some times I have a purpose and other times I just let the moment take me where it wants to. Some great photos are the ones that are unplanned |
| Canon, Nikon, Fuji, Sigma, Olympus, Sony, Pentax...which do you place your bets on and why? Nikon, but all brands are great cameras. I chose Nikon because I loved the way it felt in my hand |
| Describe your current equipment: cameras, lenses, computers, accessories... Camera: Nikon D300
Lenses: Nikon 70-200 f/2.8, Nikon 24-70 F/2.8, Nikon 35mm f/1.8, Tokina 12-24 f/4
Flash: Nikon SB-900, Vivitar 285 |
| What software and plug-ins do you use to retouch and manage your photos? I do most of my major editing in Adobe Lightroom and use Photoshop for touch ups. I have the Nik Suite for my plug-ins |
| What measures do you take to protect your work against Internet piracy? I watermark my photos and also update the meta data with my copyright photo information |
