Torie's Senior Modeling Session



Torie's Senior Modeling Session at Walck Portraits in Coudersport Pa



We had a blast with Torie!  We planned to spend some time in the camera room, and then head outside.  Torie did a wonderful job picking out cohesive outfits which our backdrops and locations complimented well.  We like to have fun with our seniors, and Torie was up for the experience.  We had her spin in her dress while Meg (my wife and co-owner of Walck Portraits) used a light reflector as a fan for her hair!  This resulted in a few fun photos, as well as some amazing captures :)




Once we finished up in the studio, we headed out to the Baker's Creek area of Coudersport PA and trekked into the snow!  BRRRRRRRR it was cold, but this didn't seem to bother Torie!  I had packed a bunch of lighting gear with anticipation that the sun would be too low, but to my surprise, the light was just perfect.  So happy these short winter days are starting to get longer!  Check out some of the images in the snow from this slideshow:



Shortly after our session, we brought Torie and her mom back the studio, where we showed them all of the finished images on our larger than life projector screen.  They loved them!  They ordered a handful of our die-cut wallets, a few 8x10's printed on our professional Metallica Kodak Endura papers, and a hand designed 5x7'' album.  The album is my favorite!



"We had family photos done previously and were thrilled with the results!  Tim is very easy to work with and he makes the process fun. The finished product is amazing and well worth the investment."  -  Jalyn Tezik (Torie's mom)

So You Want To Be A Photographer?

Are you interested in becoming a photographer?  Do you want to turn your passion for creating images into a source of income to support yourself and your family? Tim Walck Photography will soon be offering online courses in photography training, and portrait business training.  Each course will span 4-8 weeks.  Every student who participates in all classes will gain the tools necessary to succeed in the wedding and portrait photography business. ---- I started my photography business with only $2,000, which I had saved from working as a tele-marker, social services provider, and substitute teacher, all while being a full time graduate student at Mansfield University.  That was enough to buy a camera, lens, and flash.  I poured my heart and soul into photography, read everything I could get my hands on, and began to build my business.  After 3 short years of juggling multiple jobs, and being a photographer on the side, I made the leap into phot...

Competition? What Competition?

Photo Courtesy of Studio V. Photography Often, we are asked how we make our photography business thrive when there are so many competitors out there, especially in a rural and isolated location like ours.  Sure, there are mom-togs, those who do it for a hobby, those who undercut our prices, those that far out price us, those that offer downloads, free prints, etc., etc.  After all, in a boutique business like ours, people are going to either love our work or hate it.  They're either going to come to us or go somewhere else.  That's okay.  We're here to help those people that love our style, our personalities, and our art.  Sometimes what we offer doesn't fit the customer's choice.  That is okay. Hopefully we can help them out in some other way.  Perhaps we can give them guidance on what to wear , a checklist for wedding preparations , or even recommendations for a colleague that might suit them better.

Black and White - Conversion VS Infrared, See the Difference.

Digital Black and white photography can be created through many techniques.  You could use the Instagram app and click a pre-made filter,  use a more advanced software program like Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop, convert it directly inside your camera body, screw on an infrared filter to the front of your lens and convert it to black and white post production, or convert a camera to only capture infrared light.  Today I'm just going to explore my two favorite methods: 1) Using an infrared converted camera. 2) Converting images in Adobe Lightroom. So what is the difference between the two methods? A color image that is converted to black and white allows you lots of control over each color channel.  This is handy if you want to make different colors stand out by being brightened or darkened in your final black and white image. An image that is captured from infrared light has much less control over colors as the only colors captured are tones of red.  Ho...
