I’m a NY / NJ based photographer. I work in marketing for a New York City based company, where my role includes photographing corporate events and head-shots. I also freelance in New Jersey shooting portraits, weddings and other events. I recently had the privilege of shooting two very talented recording artists for their album art and promotional material (more on that later).

For fun, I shoot medium format and 35mm film. I own a variety of film cameras and usually use film in the fall and winter when work slows down. You can probably expect a post or two about film, developing, and cameras also.

With that out of the way, I want to state that anything I write is based on personal experience and opinion. I photograph both on location and in the studio. I love lighting locations and learn from each and every experience. The kind of things I plan on writing about will cover a broad spectrum. Expect anything from location problems to gear that I found helpful (or not so helpful) to dealing with clients.

I’m sure I’m not the first person to do certain things that I will write about and I know I won’t be the last. If I use something that someone has taught me directly I will quote them and provide a link to their site. Nothing in this art is set in stone and is always subject to change.

I look forward to sharing my experiences with the readers of PhotoNetCast. If there is a subject you’d like covered, feel free to drop me an e-mail: AskLarry@larryleone.com .

Ed.: Welcome to the community Larry. Looking forward to read what you have to share, and I hope all our audience will make you feel as welcome as we feel with them.

If you’ve been following PhotoNetCast you know that one application that we usually recommend is Lightroom.

Now we have the opportunity to find out more about this fantastic piece of software from Adobe: Tom Hogarty, product manager for Lightroom, will be joining us on one of the next episodes of PhotoNetCast.

And we know that we are not the only ones curious to know more about LR. So, if you have any questions regarding the product, please feel free to send them our way we’ll try to get Tom answering them on the show.

As always,  you can use the comments section, our contact form, the voice messaging widget or even record your questions as mp3 and send them to photonetcast (at)photonetcast (dot) com. But be fast, the recording will probably happen in the middle of the next week.

For some time now we have been discussing the possibility of bringing Zoriah on the show (basically since Brian noted a New Your Times piece on him, back in our episode 9). We didn’t want to mention anything in our last episode simply because nothing was set yet, but now, although everything could change at the last minute due to Zoriah’s location and work, it seems that things are looking bright and we managed to "grab" a slot of his time.

For those not familiar with the name, Zoriah is an award-winning photojournalist specialized in documenting human crisis in developing countries and has dedicated most of his recent time to document the war in Iraq.

I won’t go much into his background or current projects (I’m sure we’ll go into it on the show) but if you’re interested in knowing a bit more about this fantastic photographer and his work, go to his web site at Zoriah.com or read Brian’s post about Zoriah. The article that Brian mentioned in PhotoNetCast #9 is also worth a read.

We are not going to stream live the recording of the show, so there is no possibility for  you to interact with our guest while we record. But, if you have any questions about him or his work that you’d like him to answer, we would appreciate if you could drop them in the comments section, use our voice mail widget or just email them to us using our contact form. It would be great to have as many questions from our listeners as possible to further improve what I’m sure will be a great conversation. The show is scheduled to be recorded during the next weekend, so that gives you still a few days.

Looking forward to read what you have to say…
