My new blog is in session this one is no longer running but we’re having fun over at the blog WE HAVE FUN! http://dwaynetucker.blogspot.com

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.

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.

Photo shoots are a lot easier when working with a team. If you’re job is to be the photographer then be the photographer, the stylist job is the stylist, let them be the stylist etc. I started building my team earlier this year. Before then, I’ve worked on Read more…

I shared an article about the mistake I made when I tried to shoot an editorial story. I believe in failing just as much as I believe in achieving; it happens. Check out that article, The Perfect Editorial Mistake. After fucking up with the editorial (don’t get me wrong, I still love my images from that shoot) I started to think of ways I could apply this technique to other photo shoots. Read more…

Nikon released a new camera, the Nikon D7000. That lucky bastard, whom I look up to, and have great respect for, Chase Jarvis (it’s all love bro!), had the camera a few months now for testing. I loved, absolutely loved the video Chase. Bro, you know I’m a huge Nikon fan and that I’m a developing “icon for Nikon” so next time, send me an invite with a plane ticket please! Read more…
