Headshots

It is nice to see so many people that use my photos as their on social networks! There are many dancers that we see at competitions that use their action photos as their profile photos. It is funny when I get friend requests or LinkedIn connection requests and associated with the person is one of my photos.

Studio Portraits

Now that I am more comfortable with setting up and photographing the action on the floor, I have had more opportunity to do portraits off the dance floor. With the additional time that I must prepare and frame the photos, I have made more formal portraits. This has translated especially well for people wanting to update their head shots. For actors, dancers, as well as other professionals, it is important to have a current portrait taken within the last 2 years. For promotional materials, business cards, corporate directories, and social networks, the profile photo goes a long way to illustrate what you do.

Business Headshots

These photos are used on websites serving as introductions to potentials clients. They convey some of the personalities of those represented even though they are a still image. These can be done in the studio, at your location, or also in outdoor settings. If you have a need to update your headshots, please let me know! They are easy to setup in almost any location, and I am very flexible. At most it can take up to 2 hours to complete. If you need more examples or want more information, please leave me an email [ rassi @ timelinedc.com ] or give me call (703) 864 – 8208. Have a great weekend!

Web services

This morning, I received news that one of my favorite Google products, Google Reader, will no longer be available starting July 1, 2013. For me, this was one of the only services from Google that I used on a regular basis. At this time I have accounts for Gmail, Google drive, Google Plus. However, I have never put all my chips into that system. This has caused some problems as they are ubiquitous among lots of companies and users.

Software Shutdown

Photography really lends itself to blogging. “A picture is worth a thousand words” after all. I have used Google Reader to subscribe to many RSS feeds from photographers and websites discussion both technique and technology. This helped me to stay current on new releases and has given me lots of inspiration for future shoots.

It has also spurred me on to continue blogging as I have since the beginning of the year. Social media platforms give you the same content as blogs. However, for the content creator, it is important to contain your posts on your own website. Although you should send your posts to Facebook, and other networks, the terms of use for social media change rapidly!

Social Networks

Instagram users lashed out at the company last year when they announced that the company would be allowed to sell users images. Whether you agree or disagree with the policy (that was later changed back), it is obvious that the best way to keep your information your own, is to host it on your own website. Yes, it is still out in the open for anyone to take, but you still have eyeballs on your website viewing your content – which was the point, right?

Just like Google Reader, all of the social media platforms and web services can be accessed for free. As such, it is possible that the program can be taken away, or changed in a way that makes usage unfavorable for your taste. In light of that, I encourage more content creators to host your photos, videos, or post on their own websites more. Use the social media platforms to point to your website, but keep it “in house” to control the way you distribute your unique contributions to the web! Here’s my Spring-time one for the day:

TimeLine Media Photo proofing

I am excited to announce that we have launched a new photo proofing site! It is still at the same place as the previous one-

http://proofs.timelinedc.com

There are some new features that were requested including the option for higher resolution instant downloads! The prices have remained the same for 2012, only the design has changed. Please take a look at the site and snoop around. If you see a photo from last year that you would still like to get, you can use the coupon code 2012new for $5 off your order until February 20th, 2012. If you have any feedback for me on the new site, please let me know in the comments. Thank you!

Also, if you have any trouble navigating around, I would be happy to help. I know change can be difficult, but I want to cut through any frustration. Although I have worked with these sites for a while, I know it takes an adjustment to get through all the details. Additionally, if you let me know, I can pass along your questions to others here on the blog. When we get through this adjustment, I look forward to putting new images out there!
