Tuesday in Tucson

This past weekend, I had the pleasure of reviewing several awesome photography sites from the Tucson area, so I decided to dedicate a post to the many incredible photographers from this area. While technically not all of these sites are photography blogs, great photography is still great photography. Listed below are several of the photographers with sites that caught my eye.

If you have a photographer or photography blog from the Tucson you’d like to recommend to our community, feel free to leave it in the comment section below.

I meant to do that!

Make no mistake, my work is unique! I have a style of my own and it is somewhat uncoventional. My clients are usually looking for something fresh, stylish and more contemporary than what many “traditional” photographers offer.

That being said, there are some things you may notice when looking at my work that is different from what you might be accustomed to…

“Tight Crops” – This means super close close-ups where often the face fills most of the frame of the image. These images are about the eyes, and often the top of the head is not included in the image. I meant to do that!

“Not-So-Smiley”- So many of us have been brought up to believe that a smile is a requirement to make a great photo. So not true! I love a pensive look as much as a big grin. I meant to do that!

“Let’s Be Negative” – Negative space is when the subject is placed off to the side of an image and the rest of the image is empty—this is done for artistic impact. I meant to do that!

“Left of Center”- The most boring position for a subject in a photograph is smack dab in the middle! I know, I know, not what you always thought, right? Trust me! There is a little something in design called the Rule of Thirds that we photographers often employ to enhance visual interest…leah simmers photography
