| A problem with finding a photographer to shoot at a particular location is knowing who is based nearby. If you can find someone who's location matches exactly it's easy, but if not, or if it is somewhere remote, what do you do? At Photographers Direct, we have now developed a map-based solution. For instance, if you need a photographer for a shoot in Aspen, type in 'Aspen' in the 'Find a Location' box on our If that doesn't cut the mustard, how about a photographer near Dijon in France? Still not tired of surfing? How about Bondi Beach, Australia? We already have the map search set up for 60 countries, with plenty more to come, so why not give it a try! Photographers Direct. Run by photographers, for photographers. |

| Allow Spectrum Photofile to introduce their newest member Diana Meredith, a multi-talented photographer and photoshop master. About the image in her own words: "Over a series of two three hour sessions with a live model, I painted the face in this image using a laptop computer in concert with a tablet and stylus. Although the image was digitally created, I followed traditional oil painting techniques, starting with a sketch and tonal under painting. Once I had achieved a fairly realistic rendering of the face, I combined it with a scanned photo of my own. The two images were then unified in Photoshop where I extensively manipulated the colours and added the distortions. It is in this last stage that I am able to attain the moody expressionism for which I always search in my image making." An amazing image with more to come. Ottmar Bierwagen Spectrum Photofile Inc.

Custom Life Science Images has photographs to illustrate colony collapse disorder (CCD) in honeybees, as well as other honeybee topics. A healthy hive (above) has worker bees covering most combs. In a hive with CCD (below), workers leave and fail to return. A significant loss of commercial honeybees may lead to problems raising crops that rely on honeybees for pollination. Researchers recently identified a virus that appears to be linked to CCD. CLSI offers custom scientific photos at stock photo prices. Keep us in mind for those peculiar photo needs that OUGHT to exist, but somehow don't! David McIntyre Custom Life Science Images United States Tel: (413) 549-4300 Email: mcintyre@sinauer.com |
