About Steve Meltzer
Expertise
I am a professional photographer and I've been shooting for newspapers, magazines, commercial clients and artists for over 30 years.
I have shot stock photography for dozens of years and in 1977 created West Stock (Seattle, WA) which was one of the first to produce stock photo CDs and later one of the first to establish an online stock photo slaes site.
I have a new book on digital photography "PHOTOGRAPHING ARTS, CRAFTS AND COLLECTIBLES (Lark Books, 2007)which is available at Amazon.com, eBay.com and in bookstores like Barnes & Noble and Borders. I have another book, CAPTURE THE LIGHT which will be puiblished in November, 2008.
I write 20-30 feature articles and columns for regional and national publications a year.
My education includes studying with photographers like Cornell Capa, Duane Michels and Oliver Gagliani (from the Ansel Adams Center.)

Question
hi there
Thanks so much in advance.
Im trying to be slack, and get professional looking photos, without doing a 3 year degree! (or get better pics beyond the usual)
im a working artist and wanting photos to use alongside the paintings.
The easiest way to achieve this would be how?
Camera- film camera with amazing lens off ebay , something simple like a koni omega rapid. (states its a rangefinder, does this mean id not be able to focus accurately through view finder?)
Or a consumer level DSLR
Lighting- I saw some amazing lighting (Tv photo comp competiter) , that just involved a constant light, with "barn door" flaps. The colours seemed so rich.
Her website portfolio is; http://www.lucindachua.co.uk/
HOW WOULD SUCH RICH LIGHTING BE PRODUCED?...(special bulb or lens filter?...or special kit?)
Many Thanks
David

without trying to hustle you let me suggest you get a copy of my book. you can find it at http://www.amazon.com/Photographing-Arts-Crafts-Collectibles. it explains all of this stuff from what camera to use and how to set up lighting.
otherwise its impossible in the little space here to answer this question.
