This is the first time I have ever produced a blog and also the first time I’ve ever used wordpress, so a few things are new to me. In my day to day work, I use Macs like just about every professional photographer I know and the site seems to look good on every browser I have tried on a Mac.
I guess I should mention a book which I have recently written called “How To Photograph Nudes Like A Professional” which is available for download at http://www.nudephotopro.com. The idea to write a book came about after speaking to an old friend who is also a photographer and had recently started producing video tutorials for other photographers.
A photographer I used to assist many years ago once went on a trip to Scotland for a commercial assignment and needed to take a picture of a loch. He had an assistant with him (not me) who was fairly new and fitted a wide angle lens to the Hasselblad, but didn’t quite push it far enough to hear that clicking sound as it locked into position.
I remember a time many years ago when a rather well known fashion photographer in Milan had just taken on a new assistant (not me) and had asked him to pack away the equipment in his car. The assistant looked around and saw a rather dazzling new Alfa Romeo spyder in bright red rather like the one that Dustin Hoffman drove in his film The Graduate.
Welcome to my new photography blog. My name is Ashley Karyl and I am a professional photographer who is mainly interested in beauty, fine art nudes and glamour.
Yes in large part this blog is about photographing nudes, but I am first and foremost a photographer, so sometimes I may talk about equipment, while other times I may discuss the state of the business or tell an amusing story. I hope you will enjoy it!
