Budding Photographer Interview - Corey Teeple
I've known Corey for a while now and I'm always impressed with the quality of his work. He has a vision that I envy. He can see the end result before he takes the photo and sticks to that vision no matter what. I admire that conviction.
Photographer name: Corey Teeple (digitaldad07)
1 ) How long have you been interested in photography?
Since 2004, 5 years. I took a vacation through the rockies with a point and shoot digital and went absolutely bananas.
2 ) What got you started in photography?
A long time passed since that vacation and I felt that I was stifling my creative urges. I was coming up to significant birthday and I asked my wife for a dslr so I could finally get serious about it.
3 ) Do you have any photographers who's work you admire? I tend to look at local people as inspiration. I really like the works of Carey Nash and Curtis Comeau.
4 ) What inspires you to make photographs?
I am not sure its narcissism or truth. I pay attention to details or angles that the world seems to pass by unnoticed.
5 ) Do you have a specific style that you like to shoot? Such as portraits, fine art, photojournalism etc.
It would seem I have a knack for lifestyle portraiture. Candid work. Definitely outdoor work.
6 ) What is your favorite photographic subject?
It’s a toss up, child photography or still life.
7 ) What gear do you shoot with?
I have a modest collection of gear. I use a Canon T1i, a Canon 18 – 55mm IS f/3.5-f/5.6 lens, a Canon 70-300mm IS USM f/4.0-5.6 telephoto, and finally a Canon 50mm f/1.8 II prime lens for low light and portraiture. I house all this is in a Tamrac notebook/camera backpack. Its probably 30 lbs loaded.
8 ) What is your favorite lens?
I have to say at this point the 50mm prime. I think there are more possibilities with the zoom lenses, but the prime really grabs the subject and has provided me a number of very high impact photos.
9 ) Do you shoot in Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority or Manual?
I typically shoot Av mode. I will be migrating to full manual by spring.
10 ) Where do you see your photography in 10 years?
I see myself with an impressive portfolio with a continual improvement in my out-of-camera and post production skills. I hope to be photographing full time from Spring to late fall.
11 ) Do you have a tip for our readers?
If people comment that your zeal for your work borders on obsessive, your effort level is almost there.
12 )Do you have a favorite photo of yours that you would like to share with us?
I recently took a silhouette shot on the bank of the North Saskatchewan just after sunset. Every time I close my I eyes I see the clouds open to allow the remaining sunlight to backlight the cityscape.

Thank you very much Corey. Great stuff. So nice to see someone as obsessed, I mean focused ( no pun intended ) on photography. I recommend that everyone check out Corey's Flickr stream and check out his blog at CSquared Imaging. Some really nice work there.

Road Trip Video - 2009 Alberta Ride For Sight.
I know, I know, this is a photography blog. Honest this is relevant in a way.
I did some photography for the 2009 Alberta Ride For Sight this past summer. My son came along for the ride and we did a bunch of videos on the way there and back. I finally got to it and put together a silly video of our adventure. I hope you enjoy it but keep in mind, I'm a photographer not a videographer. I have minimal skills with video post production as well. But it was a very fun day.

Joe McNally - Just Another Funny Guy.

Photo Of The Day - 278 of 365. Rain Drop Reflectance.
Tuesday October 6 2009.
As I watched the rain hitting my office window today I noticed my reflection looked all ghosty in the middle of the frame. That's me, the dark area between the orange blob on the left and the white blob on the right. Spooky.
