A Great Quote from a great Client!

Tom Judge — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 23:53:34 +0000

I wanted to share a quote from Andrew Thornton, whose birthday it is today. A client for a few years, it is always a pleasure to prepare for shoot and be trusted to deliver what the client has in mind. I have now shot many times for Argington Furniture inc and it is always a pleasure!

I quote:

'It is always a huge pleasure working with Tom.

He brings a real intensity to his work being more critical than the client with respect to the quality of his work.

He is collaborative and understands the needs of his clients but has a strong sense of style and remains consistent.

Above all else , he offers his friendship and has a calm to his charachter allowing his work to flow in a seemingly effortless fashion.'

Taking Photographes with your Mind

Tom Judge — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 16:58:34 +0000

A great blog post from a Brooklyn photographer Tim Sother entitled 'Taking photographs with you mind" In the brief few minutes when i don't have a camera on me (when i am running to the gym or jogging to rugby practise), or if i forgot my iphone, blackberry, ipad 2, 5d, canon s95 etc etc (yes, i carry lots of technology at all times, and most have a decent camera), I can understand that some things do not not to be photographed to be enjoyed, sometimes knowing that it would have been a great shot is the skill in itself. It is the safe knowledge that you are always thinking about photography; i know i am! Like most thing in life, being passionate about the subject overrides many factors! It is about enjoying what your do. Anyway, here is the post

This is one moment i wish my mother did not have her camera. Me and my brother 'exploring'!

Back From Santorini, Greece

Tom Judge — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 21:58:35 +0000

Here is a quick picture from the wonderful island of Santorini, Greece. Straight off the camera - no added saturation - that is really how blue and idyllic it is. I did not see a cloud in the sky for the whole 10 days!

Now the technical bit. I shot RAW on my trusty 1Ds Mark III with the 17-40 f4 lens - aperature priority at f8, or as i like to call it the sweet spot. Never fails on a widish focal length, keeps most aspects in the frame in focus. I will post more in the following weekend.

JARVIS verses FERRIS

Tom Judge — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 23:16:45 +0000

Just a quick link to a really interesting interview from two very knowledgeable guys - Chase Jarvis, fellow photographer http://www.chasejarvis.com/ and Timothy Ferris of the 'Four Hour Workweek' and 'Four Hour Body' books and blog http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/ of which i have read all of!

I have been a fan of both chaps independently for there sense of individualism and passion for business, and now I find them coming together for this interview. Its worth the watch if you have a passion for photography, entrepreneurialism and lifestyle design as I do. It is also really nicely put together in HD. Enjoy
