A 99 cent piece of black foam from the local arts and crafts store along with some 2 inch wide velcro is all you need to make an awesome DIY snoot. I know there are a lot of folks making these in the strobist community, but I thought I’d through mine into the mix.

Help-Portrait Atlanta
This is a quick and dirty behind the scenes video of some of the volunteers from the Help-Portrait event in Atlanta – Delowe. I had the honor to be one of the photographers that day. If you haven’t heard of Help-Portrait, check out the link for more details. It was a blessing to be able to help out the families who just wanted to come in and have a family portrait made. For some, this may have been the only chance to have their portrait made. I had a blast and can’t wait until next year.

Video: Skin Retouch Tutorial
Cross posted on jonphillipsphoto.com
This is not a quick and easy retouch process, however, some of the steps can be made into an action if you’re familiar enough with Photoshop, which should help speed it up. This is also a little different than some tutorials I’ve seen on retouching. This technique keeps the skin texture intact and looks very natural, not plasticky or overdone.
