PicTheArtist: Elijah

Hey everyone,

Introducing to you a new segment of the blog called "PicTheArtist". Here you get to meet local artist who might share tips, and info on what they do; whether its photography, videography or designing. Today, our feature is Elijah from Providence, RI. Here is a quick interview and samples of his work.

ENJOY!


What do you do?
I do photo/video/design.

Choice of equipment?
Canon for both photo & video. Currently running a 5DMKIII.

What do you edit with?
I use everything Adobe. Photoshop, Lightroom, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Illustrator.

When did you start taking your craft serious?
I started with photography around 8th grade as something to learn because I was bored with school, at the same time I was learning how to use photoshop and illustrator & for 4/5 years I just did it all for fun. It wasn’t until I upgraded to my MKIII in spring of 2016 when I started to realize where it could take me, & now it all comes together doing what I do now.

Favorite lens to use?
For my daily use, a 24-70 f/2.8. Too versatile to not always have it on me.

Best tip for new beginners?
Shoot everything you want and can. Make videos of anything, take photos of anything. Learn the craft and find your lane. Find what it is you want people to view in your work. Continue to learn and grow in this field cause it is always evolving. Have fun and never lose sight of why you started the journey.

Picture ascetics are very important, especially when posting online. Nowadays you have so many options to make your pictures look dope. BUT, let me tell you now a clean shot looks a lot better when you add some nostalgia to it. A lot of pros are going back to film and vintage cameras, the old school look is def a trend. But, instead of paying up to $100 just for film (not even going to price out what the cameras might run you) Im going to suggest a cheaper way to emulate the look and have your pictures looking like they were scanned out of your mom's photo book. Below are a list of Apps I suggest you getting. VSCO FTMimage FilterLoop Lomograph RNI Films *Photos* (stock photo album app on iPhone) So, the best way to perfect the look is to be as subtle with the filters as possible and try your best to replicate actual vintage film pictures. SO, that means higher exposure, add grain, blue tints, black and white are always good, desaturate ...
