As the demand for fresh foods among time-starved customers increases, more and more operators are turning to delivery to drive new sales. Learn why delivery can work for you at the 2017 NAG Conference in Nashville.
Historically, consumers had very few meal choices in terms of what could be delivered to them. Pizza and Asian foods were about it. Carry-out/take-out/drive-through have been the primary options fulfilling consumers' need for speed and convenience, reports Bonnie Riggs, director of The NPD Group foodservice division.
Recently, restaurant operators have offered convenience by making it easier for customers to obtain a prepared meal through delivery options, particularly in large metropolitan areas. It is obvious consumers find appealing the availability of delivery options beyond traditional pizza and Asian foods.
As restaurants emphasize delivery, UberEats and Amazon have muscled into the foodservice market and are also influencing how consumers purchase their meals. Other services like Doordash and Instacart are also gaining momentum, keeping customers away from convenience stores in favor of home delivery. Emerging services such as Munchery deliver food directly from commissaries, bypassing the brick-and-mortar stores altogether. To remain competitive, convenience store operators must keep pace to maintain sales in this crucial category.
To help convenience store operators explore whether delivery is right for them, the National Advisory Group (NAG) has partnered with Riggs and The NPD Group for an educational session titled, "Foodservice: Delivering the Goods" at the 2017 NAG Conference in Nashville, Sept. 10-13. The session will be moderated by Ed Burcher, the vice president of foodservice for Ohio-based FriendShip Foods.

In this important session, Riggs will explain why delivery–beyond traditional pizza delivery–is a growing business.
In fact, Riggs reports, delivery traffic outside of pizza is growing strongly, up by double-digit rates since 2012, while traditional quick-service restaurant (QSR) pizza delivery is on the decline. It must be noted, however, that the decrease in delivery for QSR pizza is primarily attributable to small chains/independents.
Double-Digit Growth
Delivery options outside of pizza are still relatively small, with roughly six million delivery-related visits in the past year. But there is little doubt that the growth rate for categories outside of QSR pizza will continue on a strong growth path. All types of restaurants are increasingly partnering with delivery services, such as Eat24, Grubhub, and Door Dash, because of the availability online ordering, particularly through mobile apps.
Consumers want the "eat out" experience of quality food, but they're saving money by having food delivered to their homes. The increase in consumers eating more of their meals at home has been growing for several years. What's behind the increased demand for restaurant meals that can be eaten at home? It varies. For some, it's about time constraints and working from home. Others want to spend more time at home with the family and they've increased at-home leisure activities.
Delivery is one of the most convenient options foodservice operators can offer to address consumers' needs for convenient meal solutions. And operators have new options available to them when it comes to entering the delivery market, Riggs said. Furthermore, c-store owners no longer need drivers, vehicles and insurance in order to offer their customers a delivery option. Multiple menu aggregators provide this service. Some work with select restaurants only, some charge restaurants a fee to offer their services and others do a mix of both, charging the customer and restaurant. Uber is expanding its foodservice delivery options with the guarantee of lunch and dinner meals delivered in 10 minutes.
If delivery fits your business model and is operationally feasible, now's the time to consider adding it as an option for customers. It's one way to stay competitive in a changing foodservice market, Riggs said.

Healthcare jobs such as Registered Nurses, LPN's, LVN's and related Vocational Technicians provide over 15 million jobs in the United States alone. Most healthcare workers have jobs that require less than 4 years of college education, such as health technologists and technicians, electronic medical records specialists, medical insurance billing, health information technicians, diagnostic medical sonographers, and medical insurance billing. Founded in 1898, the American Hospital Association provides education for health care leaders and is a source of information on health care issues and trends.
The outlook for technical medical careers is especially bright. Opportunities for employment for medical laboratory technicians are expected to increase by 10% to 20% in the next eight years. The increasing number of elderly people is seen as a factor in this growth. As people age they have more medical problems, and hospitals will require more laboratory technicians to perform lab work for them. Aside from a good salary, most medical personnel receive comprehensive medical and dental benefits, as well as retirement plans. Beyond major requirements within the medical assisting department, you may consider College of the North Atlantic medical terminology as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.

The Internet of Things bandwagon (IoT) is already full but looks like the one at right.
On this proverbial bandwagon are herds of pundits, analysts and guys like me living in a rolling echo chamber. In our rolling echo chamber, questions are drowned by conjecture, stalwart claims, and empty predictions. Yeah, we seem to forget to answer the important questions.
There are more unanswered questions about IoT than there are unique types of things other than computers connected to the Internet.

"Was a pleasure to work together with Lukas. From beginning we contacted Lukas, to ask him adjust our logo more properly (change in size, arrows, placement), later to create a bookmark design who plays a role of a business card for our non-profit organisation. Very much enjoyed designer's creativity access and having an opinion of his own. Variants were offered always on time (which were more than we expected) some of them surprised us by it's originality. Besides we obtained well reasoned opinion about different design models presented. We definitely recommend."

Yoloha Yoga Mats: Yogis Dream Mat: The concept for the cork yoga mats started at a young age growing up in a very eco-conscious family who worked with the Sierra Club and the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. They taught me the importance of caring for the environment and for yourself. This translated into my first passion, building surfboards and paddle boards. Learning how toxic and environmentally unfriendly traditional surfboard manufacturing can be, I set out to use non traditional materials that were eco – friendly, longer lasting and better performing.

Learn about Clark College club sports, and registering for discussion sections and departmental seminars. Not all recruiting is done like NCAA Division I teams. College coaches are constantly looking for the best players to fill next year's open positions, and rely on many different methods to finding the right recruits. If you haven't been noticed, cold-calling coaching staff can get you an initial interview. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Clark College Intramurals information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Clark College.
As a student athlete, you can play college sports competitively at an intercollegiate level, or just for fun via intramurals. Please keep in mind that few students will qualify for athletic scholarships, and that college coaches sward available sports scholarship money judiciously.
Approximately 126,000 student athletes go to college on either a partial or full athletic scholarship, but the vast majority of college athletic teams have open tryouts, and walk-ons may land a position on the team if they are talented enough. If you've been recruited or made it past a walk-on tryout, that's when the real challenge starts. You still have to make it through daily practices, and several rounds of cuts in order to make the team. Students must meet specific eligibility requirements each year to participate in Albany State University swimming pool. Beyond consideration for Clark College club sports, you may think about Saint Louis Community College class registration for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Video: Four top-notch portrait photographers shoot the same model
There are two types of kind-of-clichéd photography challenges that are actually quite inspirational and informative: (1) A great photographer using a cheap camera, and (2) Several top-notch photographers shooting the same thing. This video by portrait shooter Jessica Kobeissi is a great example of the latter.
In the latest episode of her new series "4 photographers shoot the same model," Kobeissi goes up against Joey L, Dani Diamond and Brandon Woelfel to see who can capture the most consistently great portraits of the same model—in this case, Charlotte McKee.
All four photographers get to pick one location and outfit, and the entire group has to shoot each of the scenarios. In practical terms, that means only one of the outfits and locations will be 'familiar' and 'comfortable' for each photographer. Oh, and you only get three minutes to shoot...
To see the final shots from each of the four photographer, check out the video up top. And then scroll down to reveal who shot each photograph:

Interesting situation.
Joey L was the only photographer I knew of prior to this little exercise. I'll probably peek at the YouTube page. Did I learn anything? No. But it was amusing.
I think this is fun and I can't begrudge them the chance to show off their skills in a very millennial way. All the photos were nice with no real bloopers. I would say that the model had a jaunty personality between shots that none of them captured in their 3 minute stint. I hope I'd have gone for something with a bit more personality, or oddness, but then I guess it's also easier to cock that up.
Thanks for pointing that out. People got busy with the easy critique of the photographers personalities and forgot all about the output which was nothing more than boiler plate fashion poses. Take home message: if you are an aspiring model/actress and need a set of 'blue steel' pictures, NYC has people in it that can do it.
Blue steel!
"Clytus I'm bored"
Why do we get to watch 4 kids that are talking for the sake of video presence and get to see only a few of the results?
Btw. presenting the pictures as part of a video ensures that we don't really see differences in quality.. bur rather those in taste. Sad but maybe that was the point.
...I mean OMG...C-riously?
Exactly... and why I made the comment below... ;)
Cool and inspiring video. I think the monochrome took away from some of the photos, but that's personal preference.
I thought the female photog was cuter than the model, although the model,was quite attractive.
Model had a cute face but her waist and thighs were kinda fat. I am not sure what I was supposed to learn, but I commend DPR for innovation. Always interesting. Comments were not intended to win friends and influence people. Too nasty.
Taking photos of a person that does not totally meet the requirements for professional modeling makes the challenge more interesting...
body shaming? Stay classy...
I personally would judge the output rather than the people and I am sure you're a bucket of laughs to be around...
I think they are all nice and funny...
EXACTLY... and why I made the BORRRRRRING comment below... ;)
Sure wish I could see the photos without having to watch the whole video.
Weird, why did Rishi's comment here get deleted? Only reason I noticed was I was halfway thru reading it but got busy, then when I went to click on Like later a message about the comment being gone popped up... Don't remember anything within it that was controversial.
You don't know?
Here, when someone from the 'staff' doesn't like your post, he or she, hide it or delete it.
Rishi IS part of the staff tho, heh, and one of their more vocal commenters at times... And it wasn't a short throw away comment, that's why I was curious. I've no issue with them moderating the comments section in general, I actually wish they'd do more of it. Way too much noise (pun intended) and negativity abound, frankly it paints photography enthusiasts in a pretty bad light (pun doubly intended?).
There is a Flemish/German folksong saying:
Loaded up my bandwagon full of:
old grannies ... When we entered into the city they all started to bicker.
old geezers ... When we entered the city they all murmured and scolded.
young maidens ... When we drove through the gate, their song rang all throughout town.
I think this forum often shows how old geezers murmur and scold, whereas the video is dominated by two young maidens.
Because I accidentally hit 'delete' as I was scrolling up the page. Thanks for the catch. Funny it caused controversy. :)
Nice and inspiring article and no waste of time at all for me to watch the video!
Just for curiosity: I ranked the pictures of each outfit with 4 (best) to 1 (worst) points and summed the points up per photographer. My result is:
Dani: 14 points
Brandon: 10 points
Jessica: 9 points
Joey: 7 points
Btw. the picture selected by dpreview as story opener (B.4) is from Dani as well and it is my favourite of Outfit 4.
So, Danni appears to be the winner.
Sorry... but I'm a freak off the leash. I would have unhooked that model from the school teacher preppy look and brought her over to the wild side with some hairstyle and wardrobe re-adjustments... and shot her with some extreme focal length lenses... something that NONE of these photographers did. Even thou there were slight differences in their styles, all their images looked basically the same... BORRRRRRRING! My 'freak off the leash' style is here: http://www.modelmayhem.com/2623
Sorry T'n'A photos are so cliched and boring.
Proof you didn't even look past the first few pics... the 'Makeup and Fantasy' folder and 'Shoot Locations' folder offer different viewing options other than what you speak of. Oh... and I watched (or should I say suffered thru) your elevator music kayak training video. That was about as captivating as watching the grass grow... ;)
Yeah, not very interesting. Sorry man, you're not really in the same league as someone like Joey. Your 'freak off the leash' stuff has been done before. A lot.
Ooooooh... OK... well Joey's $60,000 Phase 1FX (with 2 lenses) was a boatload of overkill if you ask me, considering what the final output was. The camera DOES NOT make the man. A few of those full frame Nikon shooters kept pace with him at more than $55,000 less. Impressive style is impressive style... regardless if it's at 100 megapixals, or even just 24... ;)
Dave Sanders nailed it: you're not in the same league at all, Gary. You claim that these pro's photos are all 'boring', yet one look at your website and Facebook page, and anyone can see that your photos are generic and uninspired as hell.
I'd cool it with the arrogance there, guy.
@ GaryinSoCal I don't think Joey really cares as much as you do how much his camera costs. It's likely irrelevant to him, it's the tool he uses, so he looks at it as 'camera' rather than '$60,000 camera' as you do.
Oh OK... my apologies. I guess the 6000 awards and 1000 followers on ViewBug.Com should have placed their votes in other directions... ;) https://www.viewbug.com/member/garyabigt
I'm sure he's worried about you stealing his work...
Looks like those 'awards' were pretty arbitrarily given out, and not for the photos you were taking, but rather the subjects of said photos.
Again, check your arrogance.
Sorry but I have to agree with the naysayers here. The images on your link are very synthetic and two dimensional. Supremely boring.
Sorry, I suppose there is an audience for such a style down in SoCal, but it is a boutique appeal, at best. BTW, I strongly prefer real boobs ! ; ))
Good luck.
Oh... so now the conversation is goin down 'the boob trail'. Yeah I guess you can blame ME for enhancement options that models make... OMG!
Can't even come up with a creative put down. Keep photographing the silicon.
Unlike yourself... creative or not... it's never been my intention to put down anyone responding to my comments... but that 'elevator music kayak training video' had it coming. Just made a reference as to how my style was different than those in the 'Four Photographers' video.
In the end, it doesn't matter. If you are asked for the serious professor look and do a bikini shot on the beach the client will be upset. And the reverse is true.
It is much more interresting and to the point for the video to compare what you get in same conditions with similar setting, models and even clothes and all than to see ego fighting my photos are better than yours crap.
If finally you have to resort to the gear used, as a pro it is your responsability to use the right tool for the job anyway. Who would really ask or care what hammer brand a carpenter is using? We ask about results. Who would really think that Dali or Van Gogh painting were great because of the brush used rather than the painter talent ?
You are funny!!!! Keep blowing your trumpet - you're good at that.
No you said "BORRRRRRRING!" and then told us your images were "freak off the leash". That's definitely in the put someone down and promote yourself.
Look if you're happy with what you do then fine. But don't slag off others and promote your own work in the same breath - it's not very dignified at best and if your work is not of earth shattering importance it makes you look like a blow hard. You didn't like it when I called your work boring you got defensive and aggressive. So spare a thought for the next person before you denigrate their work.
Normally, I'd let this slide, but the denigrating attitude, combined with the shameless self-promotion, deserves a response.
"Hey baby, give this freak a peek at your boobies!"
Grandpa's not off his leash, he's off his meds.
Narcisissism is so dull. The arrogant self promotion. The belittling of others to advance your self. The whiney thin skinned response to criticism. Your a text book case helping to make America grate again.
WOW... all you bandwagon riding milktoast sheep and lemmings jumpin over the policially correct cliff make me wanna BARF! You think I honestly give a rats patoody about your insults, when I'm the only one who has the balls to stand up against the mediocracy that exists in this video? The answer is Hell to the freakin NO! It's pretty amazing how a so-called 'world class photographer' gets his azs handed to him on a platter in this '4 photographer comparison', while all you mammy-tampers can do is powder-puff each others butt-cheeks with a competition of 'who can lay down the most snide remarks' against someone who had the guts to call a spade a spade. And don't be grand slammin me with the shameless self promotion baseball bat, because each and every one of you are attention whores, or you wouldn't even be on this site... ;)
I did call a spade a spade...you shoot artless, awkwardly posed shots that are mired in the lack of imagination of a mediocre mind. I'm not being politically correct in any way, so take your snowflake projections elsewhere. Why is it that guys like you alway have such a thin skin? The whining is unbearable. And liking your own posts is the ultimate...do you want a 'Participation' ribbon to go with that?
Gary, it's not bandwagoning, it's just the truth.
Well gee Mr Dave Sanders... there's 2000+ positive image comments (on this site http://www.modelmayhem.com/2623) and 6000+ awards (on this site http://www.viewbug.com/member/garyabigt) coming from participants who are no doubt FAR MORE talented than what you've showcased in your pipsqueek 3 image portfolio of sea-scapes here on DPR. A kid on a rowboat with a cell phone could have done just as good of a job there amigo... :D
I know, there's no accounting for taste. But alas, 'tis the world we live in. Glad you liked my iPhone rowboat photos, if you're interested I can teach you how they're done, once you're done powder puffing my butt cheeks, of course, amigo.
If anything, the photographers you criticize have far more social media recognition than you do... By criticising them you make that social media worth nothing yourself.
So what the point speaking of your own stats that are far less impressive? You are not even able to catch the attention as much as thess photographers you think are doing uninterresting photos ?
So what your work is even worse?
Just because they are effective spammers on social media, doesn't make them quality photographers. Look at all the 1000s of cell phone camera users on Instagram with 10,000 plus followers who don't know one end of a camera from another... :P
Dude, speaking of spammers on social media hahaha. All of the have portfolios you couldn't wiggle your dink at on a good day. Joey's day rate is likely your yearly take...so there's that.
I think you have too much fun with girls. haha I do agree with the critics - yours are just generic. To me it's just a nice "GWC" gallery. Girls are lovely and I am sure they appreciate your contributions. I just don't see anything original or striking but I can see the effort you've put to make good photos. Best wishes and enjoy shooting!
Well HEY Dave Sanders... I recently had 53 photographers give me $80 each for a 7 hour Select Models photoshoot at Waterworld... totaling $4240... in SEVEN HOURS! Lets see if Joey's day rate can top that... :D
Hahaha that's funny. You're funnier than I had given you credit for, I'll give you that.
A fun watch on a day off at home. I think Dani did the best. He won 2 of 4 rounds, and his photo is the placeholder for the video. He's in his element so I didn't expect less. Joey's a great photog and I liked the b/w portraits, but it wasn't his day. He won his round. There's some more connection in that portrait than the others he took. Jessica and Brandon both did well. No losers here. It was done for marketing purposes I feel (popular IGers propping each other up) but it was entertaining to see them all work. Props to a good edited piece. I like bts type clips.
Interesting concept, bit too much giggling around for me, but hey that's personal.
What i would have liked to see is that all photographers take same model or subject same light same time and even maybe same composition, than see what diverse ideas they still can come up with, because you can do a whole lot of 'own' feel in to that moment of shooting! that is the moment we can learn from it..
The comments here are absolutely hilarious. People on DPR can cite from memory lens MTF, DXO ratings, and every spec of every sensor made. However, when one of the best photographers in the world gets featured on a video most people don't have a clue who he is. I guess there's no longer any question regarding the focus of DPR.
Indeed. And call it a missed 'teachable moment'...in my perfect world it goes 'hey, I don't know these people, lemme google them, they're billed as top notch, perhaps I should see why they are thought of highly before I run my mouth'...but, alas, this world is not perfect...
You'd be surprised how many NYC based photogs don't even know who Elliott Erwitt is ;) I knew about Dani and Joey. First time learning of Jennifer's and Brandon's work. Not sure who of those you think is "one of the best photographers in the world". You'd be surprised of how some of the best photographers in the world most likely hadn't heard of any of the four photogs from this clip. A photo should speak for itself and not knowing who the photog is makes your judgment/opinion more real. If then finding out it's taken by so and so changes your mind, well, it's the bias kicking in.
Nah, my beef is with denigrating and dismissing the photographers without taking the time to at least google them. Joey is, in my opinion, one of the best in the business. I think his personal projects are truly inspiring.
Pardon, I meant Jessica not Jennifer. So the photos aren't everyone's cup of tea. I agree that personally denigrating them isn't at all classy. No matter what their portfolio shows. The photos came out quite good. Connecting with a model for a quick 3-5min shoot is a tough act. Yes they had 3 more tries and she's a good model but still. It's all easier said than done. I thought the video was an interesting exercise and entertaining to watch. Perhaps if I hadn't known of Dani and Joey, I honestly wouldn't have watched it. So their joint venture helped them all to be better known.
As a fashion photographer (which this video is at least partially about), I could go on and on about the photography merits we see here (to my eyes, amazing stuff!). But I'll leave that for another time.
I just wanted to push the discussion in another direction: how tiresome it is this fake "happiness" the whole F. industry pretends to live in.
Kids, don't believe in everything that you see. In the video, they're all cool, one line punchers, well dressed (at least what they believe to be well dressed).
There's a look-at-me, how-funny-I-am, I-have-personality joke coming out at every corner.
Always so cool, that we almost forget they're all a bunch of strange people, glass wearing nerds.
The thing is: at least from MY experience in the pro photography world, with the people I'VE met, chances are as soon the video camera stops recording and they're on their way home, they're already hating each other.
It's fairly difficult to let this comment pass, considering how much hatred and how fake people are in the business.
I don't buy this "we're all friends doing what we love together" vibe we see here, not even for a split second.
I wish the industry would portray itself a bit more in line with the real world.
Leave the edgy music, the jokes, the emoticon face, the trying-too-hard-to-look-happy for another time.
The photographic content by itself was interesting enough.
Just my 2 cents.
When I was doing my photography degree (already working as as a pro though) I really loved working with the two other photographers in the course who were good. While the other plebs were talking about how good they were going to be when they bought their Canon 1DmX, we just got on with good ideas and making them work.
Crap photographers are the majority. No wonder they're hated - they keep the industry in a continual miasma.
I tend to thing people are all different and you find all kind of people everywhere. Sure it may be that in some setting you get more of some kind of people but this put them all a given basket because of their work industry or whaever else is a bit narrow minded to me.
So? What is the point of this long comment? You are mixing business with personality. Seems naive to think it would be any different.
So - a bunch of photographers makes this upon request and rather hastily, as far as I know. And ... the result is not bad. So - they have some skills. More than that I cannot say when I really do not like this kind of images. But ... that is just me.
And all i hear is gear does not matter, LOOK at those shots from dany! d800+85 1.4. That is one of the sharpest combo according to Dxomark.
facepalm* u win who judge sharpness from a print under a magnifying glass...( i could have been talking about the part where they display the final photos,pause and look at the photos in general how they "look like" and seeing 1 just seems better then the others but i guess you are rite that i made mistake of judging sharpness/clarity from a video clip bec video clips dont have to be sharp/clear at all as matter of fact i did not even mention how sharp any photo was.As you may see there is a "." full stop after mentioning the camera n lens combo and the start of the next sentence with a capital letter "T" and I only state the fact about the gear that it is one of the sharpest according to a specific website.........wow.
Portraiture step one: start with a spectacular model
I have never heard of them, therefore, they don't actually exist.
I can imagine myself making better photos, but, when I visualize them, they are of a young Kate Moss.
These guys have gear I can't afford so I can feel, in my heart of hearts, that the game is rigged.
Any disagreement will be considerered an assault on my self esteem and might result in a vicious, meandering, ad hominem based counter attack as if this was an issue that merited all our attention!!
I agree with CIASpook because he uses the same camera brand as me and the original poster is a bundle of sticks.
But do you exist, or are you just slouching around?
Ok. Fun little shoot. Now, and I say this as a portrait photographer, pick a "normal, everyday person", not a young pretty professional model who knows how to pose and look good. If your a "portrait" photographer, you work with people who have no idea what to do, what to wear, overweight, average looks, etc. It's really hard to take a bad pic of a pretty pro model. Even if the lighting is bad.
I look at all their linked images and all I see is young pretty faces. Now take a look at Karsh, Penn or Mary Ellen Mark, and many others. Real people. Some famous, but not models. Older. Interesting. Portraits that say something about that person. Sorry. These are more fashion/glamour images than they are "portraits". And that's fine. But call it what it is.
photolando.... You're 100% on target. It's like wedding photographers who only put the most exotic churches and expensive venues in their portfolios... what I want to see is how well they make the typical dimly lit corner church surrounded by telephone poles and wires, on the not-so-great side of town look and how their wedding photos of an overweight bride wearing a $300 wedding dress (or a homemade one) turn out.
Showing me pics of a beautiful, lean bride wearing a $15k designer gown in a well lit church with more glass letting in ambient light than Harry Potter's glasses, doesn't impress me.
Yea. My immediate response is the same. Why not call it what it is. Won't there be a story if it reads "four 20 something instagram regulars shoot a fully styled young actress coming off her first job?"
I do disagree with one point however- if you shoot a random not particularly attractive person then any results will be acceptable. If you make them look interesting you are a hero and if they look as they do then it is what it is. Shoot a kid from Ford coming off their first ten day Armani print campaign and if they don't look spectacular in your shots then the photographer botched it. Plain and simple. I have seen horrible photos of stunning people. There are lots of photographers out there that just have no clue what to do with them.
Lastly, I understand the general public cannot be bothered to differentiate between subject, friend, actor, girlfriend, wife... pro agency fashion model- but it would be swell if once in a while the distinction was made on DPR.
I may have jumped the gun. It does say "4 portrait photographers shoot the same model". I may have read into it "4 photographers create a portrait of the same subject." I guess when I read "portrait" photographers I though I was going to see more regular type of portraits. Still, I would have like to have seen them use just a normal everyday person. One a typical portrait shooter would be hired to shoot.
@ Photolando Perhaps what you're looking for, then, is Joey L's other work. Fewer pretty young faces to offend you ;D
I agree the subject is more about fashion and that as good as any other specialization for me as photographer.
Taking portrait of people at a wedding is different but already much easier than taking nice portrait of people when they are not at a wedding. Even if only $300 robe, they are still on their best outfit, and they agree to comply to the photographer orders in the hope for good memories.
Try the same of friends at a pub or something like that and you'll see it is even much harder.
Half of being a pro is also to put everithing to help you. If you don't get nice looking model when doing fashion, then you are likely doing a big disfavor to your client.
My choices from the shoots:
1. Joey
2. Brandon
3. Dani
4. Jessica
Many years ago I took on some editorial portrait work, just images to sit with interviews or articles about well-known people. The politicians, authors and such-like were generally fine, but the people from the fashion or entertainment worlds were a pain; they'd often show up an hour late, look at their watch and say "I can give you five minutes" Not easy to do, this three-minute shoot. So for all those moaners here talking about mediocrity – try it!
I hated the work, and got out of it just as soon as I could.
Joey L really has changed over the years. I remember when he was in Dubai doing a shootout contest with other pros (Zack Arias, David Hobby), he was the bouncy new kid on the block. Now he's this laid back, cool guy. His work has also matured, you could say.
I remember him from ages ago, he was like 17 shooting bands and putting photoshop tutorials online. It's awesome to see he's become such an icon. I kinda forgot about him. He just went by Joey Lawrence back then so I didn't make the connection right away.
man, the amount of bitter HDR-dog-in-park-flower-macro photographers in this comment section is much too high ;)
Where are your portraits, so that we can see if you can do better?
And where are yours?
Oh, great comeback Snapper..... :/
Other than my bored girlfriend (and she left me) other people run like hell when they see me coming m'kay. Don't rub in in. I have two cat's though.
No one need to prove anything with own pictures. That is just nonsense. You can spot bad or uninteresting pictures without being able to make good yourself. In this case? They made pictures, upon request, that is not bad. So, they are not totally skill-less.
@pfzt - actually no. First of all - they are kind of hipsters :) Or so it seems from the video. At least. And also even a talentless person can spot talentlessness. Of course, your point might be that talentless people shall shut up when they spot talentless people. That is a matter of opinion. Of course - spotting talentlessness is also an opinion. And I do not 100% share the opinion that those hipsters are talentless. Some talent they have. The pictures are not bad. And they are made in a rush. So those said to be talentless hipsters might not be all that talentless after all. Or?
Good lord that's condescending. Speaking of 'mattering':
So...what have you done? It's astonishing how poor people are at actually using the internet. Now run along and play with the other old men who don't matter...
Yeah, that Joey L. (that name... I mean, what was he thinking?) is obviously a worthless nobody, judging by his (sorry excuse for a) "website".
Thanks for posting the link Dave, interesting stuff!
Fair enough, they are cute. And yes, dentists scare me, so I shall now cower in fear of mouth pain...
Is that Joey Lawrence? Holy cow I used to follow him way back when he was selling photoshop instructional videos probably almost 10 years ago. I remember he used to shoot on a rebel. My he's come a long way.
Well He's annoyingly good.
Nice soundtrack. But honestly they all lost due to the fact that none of them had external lighting and umbrella , or a strobe or even a speedlight. If you dont use any of the above where i am your considered an amateur
For top notch photographers AKA bunch of hipsters they dug out of Instagram and handed them top notch cameras, which still don't give them the ability to archieve something more outstanding than the average photo we see times 100 every day on every Facebook photography group.
Or one of the best photographers in the world that you've never heard of because you don't know that much about actual photographers...
David Bailey, Brian Duffy and Terrance Donovan were "hipsters" of their time, I think they seemed to do quite well for themselves.
Just because YOU don't like the photo's, does not not mean that others do not.
@Shiranai Yes, see above, you haven't heard of him because you don't know much about actual photographers. Weird thing about ignorance is that it means you don't know stuff and, frequently, it's coupled with arrogant insistence. It's all right, I've dealt with people suffering from Dunning-Kruger before.
https://joeyl.com/overview/category/quick-portfolio# Here is a link to one of their portfolios. It's OK if viewing that makes you feel like a crap photographer and person; it's because you are.
@Dave Sanders: I dunno where you've read that I said I'm a better photographer but okay... Just stating my opinion. Which I could even state if I wasn't a photographer at all. Same as a movie critic can write a review without actually being a director or producer. Dunning-Kruger yourself, cause you obviously feel better than others, just cause in your bubble you've actually heard from this guy. Sorry but my bubble consists more of art-photographers, who you probably don't have a clue about. Still I don't think that I'm better than you.
You're on a website, so I'm presuming that you have the internet. So, go to the website 'google.com' and put the photographers' names in...et voila, their portfolios! Prevents you from saying stupid things like 'bunch of hipsters they dug out of Instagram'. It's one of the modern ways in which people doing something called 'learning' and it's super convenient.
Anyways, I didn't make any judgements about your ability as a photographer - and frankly don't care, irrelevant, as you've pointed out. I only made a judgement on your condescending first post, then when you doubled down with your asinine 'if I don't know them they're not famous' missive. Arrogant and ignorant, as I stated. The inability of people to use the internet always amazes me.
And since I follow photographers more than gear, there is a good chance I know your 'more of art-photographers' as well...and if I didn't, I'd google them and look at their portfolios before judging them.
And yes, your first two posts clearly indicate that you do indeed think you're better, as did your last one since I like 'don't have a clue' about the art guys you follow. Seriously, do you read what you write?
never trust a photographer that uses a manufacturers neck strap
I have the Sony Pro Support neck strap somewhere, the most expensive neck strap in the world and cant bring myself to use it :)
i usually wear my neck strap around my ankles (spyderpro holster) since it always pulls my trousers down. But it looks heaps more professional if you dont mind the view
never trust a photographer who uses a neck strap full stop. Real photographers have a small person to hold their camera for them.
Top notch? Absolutely terrible video and portraits were even worse. Where do they dig these people up?
Well, Joey L is on of the best photographers on the planet, and pretty much anyone who follows photography rather than gear might know that. Jeesh, where did they dig YOU up?
@Shiranai, ahaha, I'm loving your comment. It shows that you didn't checked Joey's work. Because if you had, you'd know he paid the camera working for the US Army, National Geographic, Universal, etc...
Yeah, he's a "young nerd", but he's a young nerd that shoots amazingly well. :) Well enough to pay for that gear...
"Cause I really doubt that this one young nerd could afford a $20.000+ Phase One XF + IQ 250 back + lens."
How about you take a look at his work?
Oh and he can certainly afford and DOES own the Phase One, along with the best Canon, Profoto etc.
Well whatever then he can afford it. Still, these works look like nothing more than average. None of these photos particularly stand out from the mass of repetitive lame bokeh junk you get to see every day.
But I guess that's what photography is going to turn into. Average watered-down "appealing to everybody" crap without soul or creativity. Same like movies.
They had 3 minutes to take photos. Lets see what you could do in that timeframe.
Take a look at his photos on his website, where he does time to set up. Then judge.
well, indeed, Joey can be "classified as top-notch". But that doesn't mean all four photographers are.
Also, these test kind of defeats it's purpose. having the same subject in the same location with a 3 minutes time for each photographer ... the differences even between a pro like Joel and a hobbyist like me, will be minimal, and mostly in pp work and style. What's the purpose of the test if the conditions do not allow the creativity or the capacity of the photographer to show?
What makes a photographer is not 5 minutes with a mannequin, and not his gear. Yes, also, not his age. It's his/hers ability to connect with the model and bring out a little of the model's soul into the image. Make a portrait, not a snapshot. Sometimes spending several hours talking and 10 minutes shooting gives much better results than the other way around.
well... sometimes (actually most times if you try to be objective) you can appreciate someone work or skill even if you don't personally like the style.
For example, you might not like Picasso's painting style, but if you know a bit about painting and about artistic styles, and spend a few moments to look at one of his master paintings in detail, you can appreciate it and understand why others see such a great artistic value in it. Again, even if it's not and never will be "your cup of tea".
"If joey learned photography at DP challenge, he bloody well mastered it. "
DPC was very active place back then. In fact people there helped him put his fist dvd.
As far as talent goes, what we think talent is subjective. I liked many people at DPC, who were far better than him (again opinion).
Well GEEEE Dave Sanders... how many more photographers have to agree with me before you start believing what I posted?... LOL!... :D
Terrible video and totally unimpressed. Way too long and far too much meaningless chatter.
Not too impressed with the final images too.
And ANOTHER post for Dave Sanders to read... you go buddy!... :D
This was fun!
Joey (because I'm a sucker for wider angle portraits, which I'm pretty sure this was)
Jessica, with Dani a close 2nd. Jessica wins in this case because of the movement in her shot.
As an interesting aside, I think the Phase One Just got in the way of the photography in this setup. The majority of the comments here suggest a similar sentiment amongst our audience.
As usual though, it's the person behind the camera that matters. But the camera plays a crucial role in what the photographer is or isn't able to achieve when under duress.
Which is why great does matter, to an extent.
Now let's have a top-notch fashion photographer shoot a landscape and a top-notch landscape photographer shoot a model....just for the fun of it.
I think the landscape photographer would come out on top if there are no gear and PP restraints. I just think Landscape has a much more difficult workflow.
Provided of course the portrait photographer had to recreate the landscape photogs look and the landscape photog had to recreate the portrait photog's look. Make sense?
vscd: Give me or those pros similar camera from another brand and after an hour of getting used to it I can make the same photo. OK, it will be slower but the result should be quite similar. The sensors capture the light in a same way, in post you choose your colors, brightness, etc. to your taste anyways, so only thing left is the means how to use the tool, the camera.
But yes, it would be fun to see how different people struggle or how fast they can pick up another brand's features :)
I think that'd be fun to watch.
Thanks... the video (and the contrasts it laid bare as the four photographers were doing their work) was intriguing.
Even so, I'm inclined to agree with other commentators who suggested that it suffered from having way too many blown-out highlights.

After a massive leak last week, Profoto has officially debuted the Profoto A1: the company's first on-camera flash system that they're calling "the world's smallest studio flash."
"When the first hyperfocal distance charts were designed, someone decided that an acceptably sharp background contained some blur — enough to notice in a medium-sized print [...] After that point, nearly every other hyperfocal chart followed suit."
The Canon EOS Rebel SL2 (also known as the EOS 200D) is the company's impressively compact entry-level DSLR. Packing a 24MP APS-C sensor, DIGIC 7 processor and Dual Pixel AF, it promises a lot of bang for the buck. And while not mind-blowing, it handles most tasks very well.

You know the opportunity is out there. The research says it's a global opportunity and, rather than leave the wider world open for a copycat competitor, you really want to be able to add countries and languages rapidly as and when you roll out. And that means taking account of international needs right from the outset in the website design concept. It also means enabling a system which can accommodate the translation process later at minimum cost.
You're in the right place. There's some cultural, some linguistic and some technical issues to think about, but don't worry, we've "thought" about them all before. In fact, we have a solution for each of those which can really help you reach the four corners of the world at a lower cost than you expect.
Let's take a look briefly at each in turn starting with "culture" and design where there's some practical common sense needed – and some cleverness. Common sense means learning from experience that a design has to accommodate some differences to cope with language structures. So, for instance, Arabic websites run right-to-left instead of left-to-right and German words tend to run longer for headings. Now a designer who knows that, who has worked in an agency which has produced websites in multiple languages since 1997 will make sure that all the obvious issues are accommodated in the design – won't they? (Clue: Webcertain started in 1997). Even if you're only producing a single language website now, this simple step can avoid significant re-build and re-design costs later.
But culture also means considering that the number "4" is unlucky in Asia and that purple sometimes represents mourning and sometimes madness. This involves some research. Webcertain has a research team which produces guides on how to produce websites for different markets – so that can be helpful and cost effective. (Clue: Webcertain's website guides are free to customers).
Then there's all those dreadful foreign character sets, accents and diacritics to worry about. Well have no fear. We operate in 44 languages in-house and ALL of our divisons have native speakers of various languages from around the world. So this aspect will be taken easily in our stride – we promise. (Did we mention that one of our divisions is a translation agency so you can do everything in one go?)
Now for the technical stuff (rubs hands in glee). Like all technical stuff it's all very complicated unless you speak the jargon – and we do. We know how to worry about SEO and language translation technologies at one and the same time. So when we're encoding in UTF-8, we know that's going to work for search engines AND translation systems. We cheat of course, since we built a content management technology of our own to handle this rather than relying on others less focused on international projects.
There you go, let's have a chat to see if there's some common ground!

I've been listening to Prof. Paul Fry's literary theory podcasts (Yale) in preparation for my GRE subject test. His talk on Freud and the death drive made me think of Stanislaw Lem's Solaris (new translation by Bill Johnston, 2011). The new translation is currently only available as audiobook but I've listened to it three times since the summer release.
In Kris Kelvin's observations of ocean phenomena and his interpretation of those observations recorded in the vast "Solaricist" archives, frequent references are made to "death throes," particularly in regards to the enormous structures called symmetriads and assymetriads that are born and die into the ocean's neutrino-based plasma. Fry eloquently explains Freud's death drive (and this is still new for me so I apologize for any stating of the obvious) as the evolution of the organism (human) towards death on its own terms. Fry speaks of the "arabesque" that takes place between birth and death, as well as the retraumatizing rituals of people with PTSD as a dysfunctional attempt to control the outcome of that which is inevitable by repeatedly reinacting some version of their trauma (Freud's uncanny), a disorder that also prevents the evolution of the arabesque like a skipping record.
Human suffering and the root of it are a major themes in Solaris, although the communication barriers between human and non-human, between creator and created, prohibit Kris and the ocean from understanding the causes of their mutual suffering. For Kris, he is retraumatized by the arrival of Hari – the Solaris-generated replica of his dead wife (his "guest") who appears to him in her pre-suicidal state of mind precisely because this is the memory of her Solaris has extracted from his subconscious during sleep. That she is a complete mask of the original Hari down to her subatomic structure (but stabilized by a "neutrino field") complicates the question of how human is human further. In Professor Timothy Morton's article "Ecologocentrism: Unworking Animals" (Project Muse, SubStance, Issue 117 (Volume 37, Number 3), 2008, p. 83), he writes:
"Kris's ethical dilemma is about learning to treat the replica of his ex-lover as a unique person who just happens to possess all the memories and characteristics of the woman from his past— a person who is also an interface for the planet-brain."
For Kelvin, death ceases to be death on his own terms, and he eventually succumbs to an excruciating boredom and apathy. For the ocean, the opposite is true; the "death throes" do not signify the end of "life" as the end of consciousness. Fry describes the death drive as the return "home" or the return of consciousness to the inanimate, the inorganic. Matter and consciousness can never be separated in the sentient ocean and it is precisely because it is always in control of the outcome, of its own architectural omnipotence as well as its own material decay (the result of the latter is a flat mood vs. an arabesque) that Solaris appears to Kris, a psychologist, to be in the agony of perpetual death throes.
The arabesque may be suggested, ironically, to begin only at the end of the novel when Kris has finally abandoned his desire for the eternal Other (I'm borrowing here from Fry's Žižek lecture) and the sentient ocean takes a baby step from unconscious imitation towards external awareness and into duality. I think of Timothy Morton's writing on the Longinian sublime during this final moment in the novel when Kris makes something like an authentic alien encounter, which is a remarkably different sort of moment than those in both the Tarkovsky and the Soderbergh film adaptations.
In the Tarkovsky film, the final encounter is between Kris and his father, and tends, in comparison to the novel, towards the Oedipal or atavistic. Morton writes: "A conservative reading suggests that at the end Kris decides to stay on the planet to be reunited with a transcendent god or father—an abstraction of mind" (87). In the Soderbergh ending, Kris' final encounter is a reunion with his wife (here called Rheya) but now on his own terms; that is to say, the sentient ocean intuits (via encephalogram) Kris' desires by tapping into his waking consciousness and thereby ends the retraumatization caused by suicidal, despairing Rheya by putting a more perfect Rheya in her place. Morton says:
"Soderbergh's version is in one sense more disturbing than Tarkovsky's, because instead of God, the sentient ocean is a metaphor for consumerism. Soderbergh's version is the nihilist misreading, just as Tarkovsky's is the theistic misreading. Kris becomes a solipsistic consumerist who gets sucked into the vortex of narcissistic enjoyment. At the end we are told that all has been forgiven. Kris gets to have his cake and eat it too by joining with the planet and possessing Rheya all over again, now capable of acting as if the suicide never happened" (88).
The ending of the novel is, in my opinion, is the most interesting ecologically of the three endings. While the "old mimoid"– described in great detail as a sort of beautiful and ancient desert city – decays all around him, Kris' turns his attention at last towards the sentient ocean. However, this time Kris desire to understand the ocean comes from a position of openness that arises not so much from despair but the liberation from self – one possible climax of the death drive. I think, although I can't totally articulate why yet, that this is also a critique of late capitalism or, at the very least, a merging horizon insofar as it is an encounter in which Kris finally sees beyond what Fry calls (in his lecture on reactions to Marxist literary criticism) the "bankrupt aesthetic of realism." Solaris, although capable of producing infinite identical objects, is itself aura without object. Or the reverse?
I welcome comments and feedback!

NBA's Marcus Camby Arrested for Weed in Pearland
Many NBA watchers wonder how the hell Marcus Camby can keep playing at the ancient age of 37.
We may have our answer. And as with so many things, it's weed.
Camby was arrested earlier this week in Pearland for marijuana possession, reports the Pearland Journal.
How did it happen? Again, the answer seems to be weed:
Police officials say officers pulled over Camby's black Porsche around midnight on when he was spotted driving north on Cullen Boulevard with a sun screen device blocking the front window.

The cops say they smelled pot, and Camby gave permission to search the car. They "discovered what appeared to be several marijuana cigarettes and a baggie with a small amount of the same substance hidden under the front seat. Both suspects denied ownership of the marijuana," the Journal says.

Djokovic says coach Becker's contribution lot more than people see
Djokovic and Becker
World number one Novak Djokovic believes that Boris Becker contributes a lot more to the team than he actually gets praised for, and relationship between both has, indeed, grown stronger ever since Becker took over as head coach.
Commenting on the decision to approach Becker as head coach, he said that people would naturally wonder if one introduces a new coach to the team. It is logical on their part, he added. According to him, it took them some time to understand each other initially and since then they have hit it off really well, with winning many title especially Wimbledon, The BBC reported.
Djokovic, who is set to win the World Tour Finals for the third consecutive year, further said that Becker, being a multiple Grand Slam winner understands the kind of pressure he faces on the court.
