New Glass!
The #canon #28mm lens is small but mighty. We originally purchased this beauty for an upcoming underwater project (end of May) but have been testing it out in the studio.
The best thing about this lens is the artful distortion being that it is wide angle. It instantly has a professional and unique feel. And while technically not a macro, lets you get up close with your subject. A new kit favorite!!!!
We will make sure to call out any images posted over the next few weeks that were captured with it.
Are there any lenses that you absolutely can't live without?

Beer On Earth - Orange Belt IPA Beer Video Teaser
Check out the new video promo teaser we created for Beer on Earth for their Orange Belt IPA Beer. They're based in Providence, RI., and have a cult following due to releasing a new beer every week.
We shot a variation of clips to build the teaser that includes the product plus highlight some of the major flavor notes, so people have a good idea of what to expect from the beer. We then put it all together, added some sound effects, music, and voila; here's the finished product.
Have you considered adding video as a part of your marketing? If so, we'd love to help you with your next project, so please message us and let's create some magic!

Behind the Scenes; Lens Smudge Time-lapse Video
Happy Monday, Friends. Here's the time-lapse video created for Lens Smudge Episode 5, where we bring you behind the scenes of the setup for our 80's inspired photoshoot.
It took 4+ hours to capture this scene with several "takes" and "tweaks" because we were filming for the show, plus photographing ourselves at the same time.
Have you ever tried capturing a time-lapse, and if so, what did you think? Comment below; we'd love to know!

Top 5 Tips to Finding Your Perfect Studio Space
Here are our top tips on how to find a studio space to fit all of your needs whether you are a photographer or videographer.
Figure out how much in rental costs your business can support.
Search for spaces within your budget and schedule site visits. Visit as many as you can, we looked at 14 spaces before landing on the space we have now.
Things to take into consideration while on your search, does the space have: large, natural light windows, how high is the ceiling, is it sound proof, does it have a restroom facility (if shared is it clean), does the space have heating and AC, do you have control over the temperature in the space, what is the material of the floors (although an old wooden mill floor is aesthetically cool, its not as functional because of color cast and moving light stands or camera stands with ease), does the building have an elevator, is there parking and how easy is it to load and unload equipment in and out of the space, is there room to expand. The list goes on and on, so be sure to list out what your priorities for the space are.
Be sure that you understand the lease terms. For example, some facilities cover all utilities, some have what is called a triple net lease which means the tenant pays utilities, maintenance, and a portion of the real estate taxes. It may be in your best interest to run the lease terms by a lawyer.
Have a plan if the space needs renovation, construction costs are no small thing and should be considered a long term investment. Getting quotes from multiple contractors will help you gauge where the cost of a project could land.
How to create In-Camera Effects
Did you catch Episode 5 of Lens Smudge? If not, you should because we did an 80's retro shoot, and I specifically touched on using various items in front of your lens to create special effects such as light leaks and bokeh.
I'm giving you an in-depth look today at how you can create these effects and overlays yourself.
Are there any specific items you love to use in front of your lens? Comment below; we'd love to hear about it.

Behind the Scenes with Ms. Fran Collazo
Here's a behind the scenes look into a recent collaboration we did with the REMARKABLE Fran Collazo @ms.fran.collazo
This experience was more than "just a photo shoot." Fran was gracious and trusted us with her story. We sat down as she courageously gave an intimate look into her journey, in her own words.
Fran talks about childhood, identity crisis, challenges experienced being gay, transgender, how others struggled to accept "her," and the love she found for herself and others.
We are celebrating WHAT she's been through, WHO she is and HOW she sees herself all in the hopes of helping another who may be experiencing something similar.
We are truly honored to be part of her movement and can't wait for the world to know who Fran is! The video, article, and imagery will be shared once published. Stay tuned; you won't want to miss it!

Amy Rose Productions Print Portfolio Teaser
THE EAGLE HAS LANDED! Our new print portfolio is here, and we couldn't be more excited to share this teaser. The process took several months (and rounds) before finalizing/printing.
Thank you, @jemma.dilag from @wonderfulmachine, for all of your guidance and expertise during curation. Sequencing is crucial, and this book is more than just a collection of images. Jemma carefully crafted our portfolio to tell stories that include a beginning, middle, and end.
The goal is to bring your potential client on a journey while adding surprise elements along the way. If you shoot multiple categories (ex. fashion, interior, and food), see if you can sequence the imagery together to tell a story by color, theme, or season. If combining doesn't work, keep them separate.
There are many types of books out there, but we chose to use the screw post book from @lostluggage_co. This allows us to print out individual pages and swap out the imagery with new work as needed. The process is a lot easier than printing a whole new book each time.
Send some love if you agree!

Happy New Year!
We can all agree this year has been a roller coaster ride. As we say goodbye to 2020, take time to reflect on the lessons learned. Focus on the things you can control and not the things you can't.
Don't let the past define your future. Every day is an opportunity to create the next chapter, a new beginning in your life. You can either hold yourself back with negative thoughts or kick ass and make significant changes.
Love the people who treat you right and forget about the ones that don't. It'll drain you; they're not worth the energy.
If you get a chance in life.. take it! Wishing you a Happy New Year.....and don't forget to be more awesome than you were last year!
