Hey; if you have subscribe to this blog please go and follow my new blog, I’ve been absent here because I’ve been having too much fun at my new blog: http://dwaynetucker.blogspot.com I’m inviting you to the party. Be sure to follow the new blog for awesome photos, stories and tips for being a hustler with a camera by your favorite photographer – Dwayne Tucker a.k.a. DT. Tha Hustla

“What up? TeamDT. were doing it! For the newbies in tryouts, TeamDT. us the people are hustling hard in whatever field of creativity that’s being pushed.

So let’s get on it! I’m back in Read more…

I believe in keeping busy; my mentality is somewhat of a shark. Not only going strong after your target, but, like a shark, always be moving. I believe that I’m a business, I explain to my clients, “If your business stays static you’ll die.”. Now you’ve just read all of that smooth-cool-bull-shit talk for me to simply say always be doing something. When you’re not shooting,  edit, when you’re not editing write/sketch/ think, when you’re sleeping dream of a photo shoot/ idea for your next photo shoot and when you take a break sit on a beach, with a Corona in hand and think about your next move!

I knew I’d be bored sitting in the airport this morning, so, I left this image to write about and share with you. Nothing to tech about how I photographed the image. Honestly it was nothing more than a fun/ good looking model (my cousin), an assistant, lucky timing and a golden reflector (I don’t use gold as much but it was time to try a different bounce) and a little editing in Photoshop to keep me from being bored on last vacation trip to the Bahamas. You’re probably saying, “bored in the Bahamas this guy must be crazy!” The thing is if I get to relaxed in the sand of these beautiful beaches, one I’ll much darker and two I’ll never want to leave again – I have to keep thinking about a next move!

All of my shoots, no matter the size, I want my clients to feel comfortable and I want them to leave thinking, “Damn we had an awesome time with Photographer Dwayne Tucker it’s a must we do that again!”

I called my cousin up, got my mother’s neighbor to assist me, went to a house, had plans of going on top of the roof and plans to start shooting at time x. Shooting started one hour after time x because it took us that long to get the assistant on the roof. It was my fault to assume and not be certain that  everyone was not afraid of heights! If you are going to an extreme place double check the aforementioned situations. For example I’m headed over to Fresh Creek Andros in 20mins and my assistant who’s with me is afraid of sharks; it’s cool because along with some smooth-cool-bull-shit talk I was able to get the last assistant on the roof.

It’s all about professional work, positive attitudes and great times.

I came across this video check out my hommie Aaron Smith’s blog! The women are so beautiful the photographer Terry Richardson is so talented! I love when I see older photographers out there doing it large in the game showing me how I’ll be kicking it at their age if I continue to my hustle. Just like Terry I like to bring energy and fun to my sets (It’s something I put first! – ask anyone who has ever worked along with me.) Read more…

I nearly did a backflip when I received my Nikkor 14-24 mm lens in the mail last night. I’ve shot the lens numerous of times renting from Aperture Professional Studios and Supply in Miami, Florida. I’m happy to have another toy in my Nikon collection. I got super excited and did a photo shoot with it last night; we had a blast. I stayed up late last night and woke up early this morning editing with Lightroom and Photoshop. Normally, for clients, the shoots are planned and delivered within three stages: Pre-Production (the planning), Production (the shooting) and Post-Production (the enhancements and delivery). I’m pleased with the outcome of this shoot knowing we planned it within fifteen minutes. Everyone on set had a blast; that’s always my personal goal. It’s a personal goal for me because if the client, the stylist, the make-up artist and my assistants are having a good time, I feed off of thier positive energy and preform better (music and drinks usually helps!).

Here are a few photographs I took for my commercial photography portfolio collection. 2011 is almost here; I’m looking forward to it. The images that will develop my 2011’s portfolio is to show art buyers I’m capable of creating, professional top quality images. My goal is to push my creativity and show a few agencies how hungry I am.

In the mean time, I’ll continue to scribble ideas in my book as the first step to producing creative conceptual images like these ones.
