Like the proverbial fish that got away, your photography clients may also get away after you deliver the goods to them if you are not careful about who you accept as clients. This may seem counterintuitive to turn clients away, especially in a bad economy, but the horror stories are real. In “Client Horror Stories: Runaway Bosses, Back Stories and Blue Socks,” there is a happy ending: the photographer did get paid and one of the customer retained for future work. It’s also a good story on how to handle difficult customers.

When I first looked at these portraits, I did not see anything amiss, except that they did look oddly familiar and a bit [OK, a lot] puffed up. Turn out, these people had their pictures taken while hanging upside down, which explains the funny faces they’re making. Quite original, don’t you think?

Way back in August 2010, we showed you how to do your own transparent photo trick. I used my MacBook Pro to simulate a transparent screen that allowed you to see what was behind it.

Now, Dave Polette has ratcheted it all up one notch with a double transparent photo trick using an iPad and an iPhone! Read how he does it using 8 simple steps at: DIY Photography. It’s pretty amazing!

Eirik Solheim mounted his camera in his window and took one image every 30 minutes. All through 2010. He then selected images from these shots for a two minutes video representing all of 2010.
