I didn't know what I was in for sitting at a presentation that would last for two hours, but I knew I'd walk away with something none the less, so excited I was. Vedros strives with his humor before he even showed any of his work. Confidence shined through with just that, I was already learning it's okay to joke. You should hope to let clients know you on deeper levels than just as a photographer.
He started off with his earlier work which was very refreshing. It featured old techniques that were being forgotten like soft focus which I might delve into. Even from the start he didn't just capture a normal scene everything was posed. One bar scene everyone was posed he didn't find everyone there. He thought it might be too busy otherwise.
Later on I realized he'd pose all of his shots, even with more advancements in photography like Photo Shop. I saw finally how a shot could take a week or more. He would build sets which I think is a great flexibility to have and skill if i might say. I am only at a point where I can dream up possible props and scenes for a subject. But building a set for it from the ground up? That takes a lot of creativity and willpower. Just for that one shot.
Towards the end, people would later feel he photo Shopped his images to a point where it wasn't the image anymore, possibly unrealistic. But i respect Vedros again for using his "Digital Darkroom" to it's almost fullest potential. All of his work is very pleasing to the eye.
