The photographers I’d most like to meet aren’t the big names in commercial or fine art photography, but the ones whose blogs and books have taught me the most about the subject. David Hobby, the Strobist, is definitely at the top of that list, so it was great to meet him at PhotoPlus this week!
I ran into him at the Lumiquest booth, where he was snapping a picture of an ad he shot for them featuring himself and his son. He’s a really friendly guy; he asked what I liked to shoot and gave me a few lighting tips, like adding in a random bit of light to keep things interesting. I asked him about his own plans after building up Stobist and leaving the Baltimore Sun, and it sounds like we’ll see some exciting things from him in the future.
