overlays, and other helpful Photoshop tricks. And his
prices are quite reasonable. Check out his site
and his online portfolio for instruction or a bit of
inspiration.
Both DPS and Alain
Briot view photography as a classic art form:
“Originally
from Paris, France, I have been photographing since
1980. My
original training was
as a painter and from 1977 to 1980 I attended the Academie
Nationale des Beaux Arts in Paris where I studied
drawing and oil painting. After graduating from the
Beaux Arts I studied with master photographers at the
American Center in Paris from 1980 to 1983. One of my
instructors, Scott McLeay, taught me fundamental
photographic practices which I still use today.
Through his teaching he emphasized the importance that
composition plays in successful photographs. The
quality of the light was of utmost value for him and
he constantly stressed how important it is to
understand which light one likes to work
with."
Alain
Briot also enjoys sharing his perspectives in online
essays which can be found at the following links:

January 23, 2005 -
There is a new book from Eddie Ephraums, Darkroom
to Digital, Black and White Photography - The Art of
Transition. An accomplished
photographer, an expert in darkroom black and white
photography with numerous books to his credit,
Ephraums recently made the transition to digital.
His
book is an essay about the migration from traditional darkroom techniques to the
digital darkroom. Early in the book he makes a statement about the
most common concerns of digital: "As a photographer what I
need to be concerned about are the real issues:
what do I want my photographs to say? What do they
say? How can I develop my vision? How can I better
share this view of life? And yet how easily I have
got[ten]
side-tracked into thinking my concerns about
permanency and RAM are the issues?"
I think we will soon get past all the conflicts over
digital vs. traditional and focus on the real issues
of photography - the image, the message, and wonder of
it all. Some things never change, thank goodness.....
