Will Foster — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 20:59:13 +0000

I have lived in the state of Oregon my entire life. Elmira for 18 years, Klamath Falls, for 5 years, and I moved to Eugene in 2005. I’ve lived in countless areas in Eugene, and neighborhoods. I’ve had many roommates. I’ve met a lot of great people. Had photo shoots with some very awesome naturally [...]

Have you ever been in a situation that you just had to photograph, but you didn’t have your DSLR with you? Remind yourself: The best camera is the camera that’s with you! I had an opportunity to hang out with a brand spankin’ new band called “This Patch of Sky.” Brand new as in, this [...]

Bending the Rules

Will Foster — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 23:00:24 +0000

I’ve done a ton of promo photos for bands, and anything of that sort. But, the one style of promotional photographs that I have pondered about, and haven’t really grasped a specific style to is LIVE photos. Most of the bands would hire me for a job, probably won’t be playing in very classy venues. [...]

Teaching Photographers New Tricks With Lights

Yesterday I had the great privilege to teach my very first lighting class. I was extremely nervous at first, but once it started going, it all came natural. As you know, a lot of my photographs are very fashion oriented and high impact on light. But the techniques that I taught were not to overkill [...]

I show up to a scheduled photo shoot yesterday with my beautiful friend Tai. She and I have been meaning to do some photo shoot work together for a while now, but finally our schedules lined up. We planned to meet on top of a parking garage in downtown Eugene. Yes, the top floor. Which [...]

So…Cal

Will Foster — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 20:15:55 +0000

Southern California… I’ve been here for 4ish days! It has been a long time in the making, almost two years to be exact. I have built friendships and connections down in the Southern California area and I have talked about traveling down here since I was down here on tour with a band. I have [...]

What Am I Waiting For?

Will Foster — Fri, 28 May 2010 16:43:40 +0000

Sometimes when I am driving, I see some clouds and a location and think, "It would be fun to shoot there sometime," then I continue driving. I never find out what those photos would have turned out to be. This time I decided to pull a u-turn and fulfill my thoughts and see what happens. [...]

Video: Car Breakdown

Will Foster — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 17:19:13 +0000

This video is available to watch in 1080p on Youtube.com This past weekend I put together a quick little video with my friend Grant. This video was shot with my Canon 5D Mark II with my cheap 50mm/1.8 lens. I kept the lens simple because I liked the depth of field. I should have used [...]

So, what do you do when your client lives 2,300 miles away with a very limited budget? Duh! Use Skype! This last week I did a photo shoot for the spring line of Olive Tree Clothing here in Eugene, Oregon while the client was in his office in Little Rock, Arkansas! Skype has a wonderful [...]
