Brand new Tampa Photographer Blog site, a Mosaic Class site, coming May 23, 2011

This, of course, is the final post here on the Tampa Photographer Blog.
On this old site, that is!
The new Tampa Photographer Blog site, a Mosaic Class web site, will be launching around May 23, 2011, so of course there won’t be any time for new posts before then. As of today, the first Mosaic Class web site, for the main Aurora PhotoArts Tampa Photography and Design site, will be fabricated, with support graphics for the others put together. By next weekend, the first three Mosaic Class sites, and possibly the fourth, will be deployed, being for the main Aurora PhotoArts site, the new Tampa Composite Cards site, and the Tampa Model Testing site. Content and the interlink nodes for all of the sites which are now being constructed are already up and running, uploaded and online last Friday. We expect to be able to post a lot more than a mock up picture of the Mosaic Class sites by our next post, but that would be pointless as you could simply look at the sites themselves. They are going to be magnificent, and they should be, as there are going to be a lot of them (a network of 16 by next month, and 24 by the end of the year. The design had to be perfect before the sites could be fabricated, optimized, and deployed)!
Like with the Tampa Photography Blog, most of the content on this Tampa Photographer Blog will not be organized on the new site right away, and will be archived on the site in its entirety, as the format of the new posts may not be entirely compatible, and they would have to be reformatted. This will take time. All new posts will be properly formatted and organized as they are posted, of course, and the archived posts will be reformatted, cleaned up, and posted I properly organized files at the rate of one or two a week for the next year, and the same goes for the Tampa Photography Blog. The reason for this is that a lot of time was spent on our sister Tampa Film Blog, and the search engines are not properly indexing all of that content very quickly. Additionally, results from the Tampa DJ Blog, another of our sister sites, were interesting, and when both lessons are cross referenced, it simply does not make much sense for us to rush properly organizing our archived content. We don’t have time for that, anyway, right now, as a lot of web site work needs to be done in the next month.
The work that led up to the launch of this network of new, cutting-edge Tampa photography and design marketing and support web sites has taken up the last three years, with all those years of work planning and working toward this (also, note that what we have revealed is only what we want our competition to see. This is only the tip of what we have been working on, and you have no idea what else is going on). This is just the execution of that plan, and it is our direct answer for the SEO 2008 issue, which will be addressed and resolved effectively in a matter of months. Our lead over our competition in online marketing will further increase in the next year, and our marketing efforts will be unquestionably dominant by 2012. Competitors who have been monitoring this work and plan on countering it will find out that it won’t be easy. It will require at least $100,000.00 of work to pay outsourced web designers and writers in order to even begin to keep up, as the amount of resources that we are putting into these sites this year will exceed $120,000.00 in billable web design and writing work. Good luck! We are very, very serious about maintaining the market lead in online marketing and support of Tampa photography and design services.
When the results are seen in the coming months, though, we do expect this to lead to an arms race of sorts in web site development, in which the others who try to compete will find that it will be very hard to keep up.
Although the Tampa Designer Blog has not officially launched yet (the fourth site, which may launch next weekend, would be that new blog), it does have two interesting posts, and the latest has a lot to do with photography, as well as the latest progress in the web design work. Check it out at the Tampa Designer Blog.

Firefly Headshots (Not taken by me; a critique)

Please note:
I did not take the headshots in the image to the left, and have never worked with these actors; I do not know the actors, and am not affiliated with them in any way. These are unedited headshot images used under fair use, so that you can reference what I am talking about in this post. All other headshot images on this blog, unless specifically stated otherwise, are my work, however. I’d gladly choose my work over most of this.

Today, I spent some time watching the “making of” Joss Whedon’s “Firefly” (and, now, that Serenity movie makes a lot more sense! I didn’t like Firefly when it first played on television, and did not watch it or follow it; I had no clue that Serenity tied into the television series when I bought the DVD movie. Now that I have watched the series after watching the film, I have to say that it is really good.), as studying films and director’s running commentary are part of my training as a filmmaker. They showed some of the actor headshots of the principles, such as Morena Baccarin, Adam Baldwin, Summer Glau, Jewel Staite, and Ron Glass. This, of course, caught my attention, as I do a lot of headshots as a headshot photographer, and whenever I see any headshot, it gets my attention (even after seeing thousands upon thousands of them as a casting director, although we must note that I dialed in my headshot photography format after my major work as a casting director, just like I became a professional photographer well after I learned television and indie film camera work. Retro-applied, the latter skillsets enhance the former, and vice versa. My work as a professional photographer will give me a massive advantage as an indie filmmaker. I did decent camera work in television and film before I was a photographer, but recent tests are demonstrating that photography is making my ability to obtain exceptional footage routine. Those other filmmakers are going to picking up their jaws off of the floor, for sure, and I think that they already realize that this will be the case even before they’ve seen any of my footage, as they are able to see my work as a photographer, and they realize that it will translate well).
At any rate, it was interesting seeing those headshots. Morena is quite photogenic, but her headshot does not do her justice, as it was shot in a portrait studio, and it looks like it. Adam Baldwin’s headshot had uneven lighting, which in itself would not be a bad thing if it supported good composition, but in the case of his actor headshot, it didn’t. Now, Summer’s headshot was a three-quarter, also done in a portrait studio (shooting in a portrait studio is not a bad thing, necessarily, as long as the backdrop does not take up too much prominence in the picture), but the structure of her face supports a straight-on composition, and not that three-quarter. I suppose that it was Summer’s first headshot, but I can only speculate about that. Now, Ron Glass has a headshot which is pretty good, but I would have to say that the best of the lot would have to be Jewel’s, which is really good. Regardless, I could outshoot all of those headshots, and I know it, from experience; this was true as far back as 2002.
I’m beginning to realize why professional actors go through me to get their headshots done before they go to Los Angeles, and also why one of the largest headshot photography studios in Los Angeles offered me a job as a headshot photographer if I ever chose to move there. Headshot photography is just something that I seem to have been born to do, although it took a lot of hard work to get to where I am today. Regardless, comparing my work with the work of headshot photographers who have shot the headshots of celebrities is quite gratifying.
As an independent filmmaker, I will say that all of the actors whom are cast in my films will receive Passinault headshots, as it is the least that I can do for them.
You never know, also, as in a few years, I’ll be doing large film projects. It is within the realm of possibilities that I’ll be working with well-known Hollywood actors and celebrities as a filmmaker, and this will further enhance my marketability as a headshot photographer, as they will become a part of my headshot photography portfolio by default. It will be interesting.
Sometimes I wonder what the agents for these actors are thinking. It’s like “Here, go to this photographer at this studio; we don’t care about the quality of your headshots, just as long as we have headshots to send out”, the photographer puts out some quicky cookie cutter portrait-like headshot, and the actor wonders why their headshot looks like crap. It’s a racket, I’m sure. Cogs of a wheel in some system.
Taking off my photographer’s hat now, and putting on my actor’s hat, I’d say that I would not be happy with most of these headshots, at all. I’d be very angry at my agent, if I were dependent upon an agent, and I listened to them. I don’t have to, however, as I know more than most agents do... especially when it comes to headshots, it seems.
As an actor, DJ, and talent, I, too, need headshots, and I’m going to need them soon. Would I pay for them? Of course I would! It’s just that I’m having trouble finding a photographer doing what I can do with headshot photography and headshots. I sometimes wish that I could clone myself for a day, and have myself take my headshots.
A thought: Invest in a tripod, a mirror, and a remote shutter release (although, I hate the auto focus on Canon cameras. I don’t trust auto focus on those cameras). Ironically, when I shoot models and talent, I don’t use a tripod. I will have to obtain a tripod for my independent filmmaking, so I’ll get one which is compatible with Canon SLR’s, too. I will also need that tripod for some photography work which I have coming up (I have an experimental gallery which I am designing right now which will have some very interesting photography work in it. The gallery will require the use of digital frames. I’m also building a 3D photography viewer which will use digital LCD panels. I’ll have to build the 3D camera, however).
For now, though, look at those headshots to the left and ponder if you would be cool with them if you were in the Hollywood system and were stuck with headshots like this, without a choice or a say in the matter.

Breaking - Mosaic Class Sites To Be Used, Instead. 6 New Domains Purchased.

I actually already broke this news on the Tampa Photography Blog yesterday, but it is official (and, although I am supposed to be suspending posts on these blogs until I start turning out sites, it really won’t matter in a few days when the blogs are relaunched as new Mosaic Class sites). Although development of the new Venus 3 Venus Class photography and design marketing and support site design was complete, we have decided to go with cutting-edge Mosaic Class sites, instead. Mosaic Class sites are the latest of my front line sites, and are brand new. While the Venus 3 sites were derived from a design which is about six years old, the Mosaic Class is brand new in every way. It also has new features and capabilities which we can grow into in the coming years.
If I’m going to put months of work into a fleet of sites which share the same design class, I’m going to be sure that it will remain effective, and relevant, for years to come. I might as well do it right to begin with.
The Mosaic Class site has advantages over the Venus 3, such as video compatibility, and the fact that it will age better than the Venus 3 would have. The Mosaic Class also has capabilities, especially in the long term, which exceed that of the Venus 3. With a scheduled 4th generation upgrade, the Mosaic Class site, being a being a new 2011 design incorporating 12 years of developments and innovations in web site design, can be effective for at least ten years. This means that my fleet of Mosaic Class sites might very well be in use in 2021, which is remarkable, although the Venus Class site design has been going strong for six years now. You could say that I am in this for the long term.
That, and I now have 40 thumbnails instead of 32 to work with, as well almost twice the canvas to display pictures on (with the new watermarking, this is not a problem. The new sites will also omit right click java locks because of these new countermeasures). This is a little more work, but it’s worth it. The Mosaic Class site is also more compatible with the upcoming 4th generation web site design technologies, and the new sites can easily be upgraded. The Mosaic Class is also better designed for meta site configurations, intersite design continuity, interlinkability, and scalability. It’s slick. The Mosaic Class sites also have a more upscale, simplified, and a more intuitive layout. It looks more refined, and sophisticated; a perfect compliment to my work as a photographer and as a designer. I’m quite proud of it.
This said, I’m not scrapping the Venus 3, which I put a lot of work into, and which are still incredibly capable sites. Both the Mosaic and the Venus 3 are front line, late 3rd generation marketing and support web sites, but with the Mosaic edging it out in just about every category. I may use the Venus 3 for stand-alone marketing and support sites, as well as for testing. I might even use the Venus 3 for the marketing and support sites for my second photography company, which will do work in high risk photography markets. Eventually, I may even offer it to my web site clients for purchase (Package price? It’s not official, but the suggested rate will probably be about $6,000.00 per site, with a basic Venus 3 having about 40 web pages of content. That’s not bad for a front line visual marketing and support site with enhanced SEO capabilities, and which comes in a close second to my main, advanced visual marketing site, the Mosaic Class site. The Mosaic Class site will not be available for clients, as it is currently exclusive to Aurora PhotoArts. If it were available, it would be more expensive.). The Venus 3 will be used, although not at the scale that was originally planned. Expect three or four of those online later this year.
So, while I wanted to roll out three new sites around now, it will be another few days. Regardless, I should still be able to make the scheduled deployment of all of the Aurora PhotoArts marketing and support sites by July 2011. I’ll be able to turn them out quickly, without taking shortcuts, once fabrication and assembly begins; writing content will take the most time.
I bought another six domain names today specifically to use as Aurora PhotoArts marketing sites, and they will make up the array this spring. Each of these sites will be a stand-alone site with unique content, although they will all be interconnected. Although I could list them here, I won’t. I’m sure that everyone will figure them out in the coming days, weeks, and months (What, you want me to telegraph everything that I do for you? If people want to see the big picture in what I’m doing, they will have to take the time and work for that information. Why make it easy for them, especially when most of the people who are keeping track do not have my best interests in mind?). I can’t add them and link to them from the initial Aurora PhotoArts site, however, until there is content to support them (and, Im telling you this much, that with at least one of them, Tampa Wedding Photography, I don’t have a portfolio to support it right now. It will not matter however, as I will launch it with what I have now. I’ll have that wedding portfolio to support that market later this year, and I’ll probably have to stage the photographs with my model friends posing in wedding dresses, as well as set up faux wedding shoots, to get it done; don’t worry, too, because I will publish disclaimers that the pictures were staged as a demonstration of what a professional modeling and talent photographer can do for the consumer in a wedding photography shoot. I told you that I had plans on moving into that market).
I tallied up the numbers, and totaled, I will be investing about $96,000.00 in web site work setting up that array of 16 web sites in the next few months. That’s being very conservative, too, because if I billed it like I would a client, the work would be worth about $116,000.00 for 960+ web pages of content on those 16 sites. That’s a lot of work, and it shows how serious I am about getting things done (I spent quite a lot today, too). You’ll also see the results of this work in the lack of major updates in many of my sites during this time.
It will also, by default, solve the SEO 2008 and the Domaingate 2009 issues quite nicely, although I will be getting the overkill of the year award, for sure (I’ve stated for years that, when I begin to respond and work aggressively to resolve certain issues, that it will start an arms race of sorts in the Tampa photography and design services market. This is starting now, and it will be interesting to see what my efforts will do to the Tampa Bay market in the next couple of years. So, I guess that this arms race is now on, but I fully expect the competition to not only lag behind, and not be able to keep up, but to be in the unfortunate position of reacting to everything that I do, and introduce, to the market. Follow the leader, guys, because you are certainly not me! You know, I’d be frustrated if I were not me, too!). Even the investment into the Tampa Bay Film sites cannot approach the level of effort which is going into this. Thus, you could call this the six-figure 2011 Tampa photography and design online marketing agenda. In the 12 years that I’ve been building web sites, nothing has ever approached the scale, and the scope, of this project. It’s simply staggering on every level.
I know at least one thing for now, though. I will be cleaning up the existing content on some of these sites, such as opinions which are not compatible with marketing.
At any rate, I have posted pictures of the Venus 3 prototype, and a mock up of the new Mosaic Class site, in scale, so that they can be compared. Note that the thumbnail arrays on the Venus 3 are not active, and that the mock up of the Mosaic does not have pictures or active thumbnails, either; it has placeholder thumbnails and an empty image canvas. As a matter of fact, the Mosaic Class mock up is so new that it is just that: A mock up composited in Photoshop and designed entirely in the computer. The Venus 3 prototype is a functioning web site with web code, and details were worked out with hand and ink. This means, of course, that details on the Mosaic Class design could change in the next few days, although I’ve already worked out all of the numbers. It’s at least 90% final.
The prototype of the Mosaic Class site will be completed this weekend, and the first five should be rolled out and brought online in about a week.
In closing, I am getting this done without resorting to cheating or taking shortcuts. It can be said that content is king, and no one will be able to approach the level of resources which I am pouring into this. So, if you’re one of those photographers who spam search engines with keywords, by all means, keep doing that (not that cheating to be first in search engine results has done them any good in the past two years, with few people buying anything to begin with. Also, they only think that they had top placement; my popular modeling and talent resource sites proved to be the perfect marketing platforms, and actually being the top search results, they more than picked up the slack while I prepared this). It will catch up with you, and I might add sooner rather than later. Those black hat SEO tactics will not only backfire, but even on their best days, they won’t be able to compete with what I will be doing legitimately.
Another cool thing which I can now reveal is what the third blog will be all about. My upcoming Tampa Designer Blog, which will compliment both the Tampa Photography Blog and this Tampa Photographer Blog, will cover my opinions, news, and anecdotes regarding any design work that I do as a professional designer. This includes, but it not limited to, graphic design, web site design, ad / marketing design, fashion design, composite card design, art design, portfolio design, and a number of other design-relevant fields. The Tampa Designer Blog will launch as a Mosaic Class site, and like the others, it, too, will interlink and interconnect with the other Aurora PhotoArts marketing and support sites. This is going to be fun!
Oh, and another thing. Soon, I will be pouring a LOT of money into advertising on the Internet through the major search engines, too. I certainly hope that all of those photographers have a lot of money to pay for ads, because I will be driving up the costs of those ads by paying for first placement sponsored results, and I don’t care if I have to break even to do it if it means clipping the wings of the people who have been taking advantage of that (Hell, I don’t care if I lose money on paying for those ads, especially since I am in the position to compensate for such losses. If I have to inflate ad rates and dump the market on paying for ads, which is legitimate, I’ll do it. The search engines will make a good amount of money on advertising, and the cost of ads will be a lot higher as a result). Expect to pay several times what you are paying now to show up beneath my ads. Have a nice day.

Working On Web Sites. Congratulations To Chloe Lupo, Miss Tampa 2011!

I stated that the last post was the last post on the old Tampa Photographer Blog, but I had to post an update on what was going on, as well as the progress of the new Venus 3 sites.
Before I begin, I would like to extend a heartfelt congratulations to Chloe Lupo, who was crowned Miss Tampa 2011 this past Saturday night. I attended the pageant and the dinner in downtown Tampa with my friend, model and performer Ann Pookasem, who was Miss Tampa 2001, and the pageant was one of the best which I have had the pleasure of attending. I also met, and talked to, quite a few interesting people. Also, although this was a pageant where I was not judging, I did score the contestants from my seat, and, as usual, I picked the winner (I’m no armchair judge, either, as I’ve judged many pageants. I like to keep in practice). I can’t wait to launch my own beauty pageant property, which is in the works with my Eventi Stage company. Ann even came up with a name for it on Sunday, which led to a good name for it (the name is classified at this time)! I still have a lot of details to work out, as I still don’t know everything about pageants, but plan on launching an annual pageant around 2015, so I have time to become an expert. Of course, being an independent pageant with no ties to any national franchises, it will have to be very special, indeed.
The picture which I took of Chloe was not with my professional camera, as I was unsure of the appropriateness of bringing along professional photography gear (I’m looking into seeing if I can change this with future events, but I do not want to step on any toes of photographers who may have exclusive rights, through contract, to do photography at these events). I used my Nikon L10 to take the pictures, and they came out well. I was a judge recently at another pageant, and I discovered that professional photography, other than with the contracted photographer, was not allowed. I can understand that, as well as the reasons behind it. I respect that, and will impose similar restrictions on my events, unless specifically allowed by the event format. Regardless, I suppose checking with the event planners beforehand would be a good idea; at the very least, I could always obtain a press pass, as this has worked before (through my assorted web sites, I’ve always been able to obtain press passes when I need to. I’ve even been allowed in events free, as well as before the general public. Frontier Pop will become very important in this regards, in the future, as I cover more things).
Despite being a picture which was taken with a consumer camera, I did use some of the new watermarking techniques which will be used with the new Venus 3 sites in the photograph/s. It’s so effective, that the new Venus 3 marketing sites will not have the right click java lock which my sites have had for years. All pictures posted online from now on will be watermarked, even when published in Flash (my iPad / iPod Touch portfolio and physical portfolio which I am working on now, which are in JPEGS and not Flash, will not be watermarked, although those files will not be publically accessible. They will be restricted). Additionally, they will be published at a low resolution of 72 DPI/ PPI, at the smallest possible size (modeling Web Comps, of course, are different, as they have to be printable for the web, but the watermarking will be applied to them, as well. Expect a dramatic change with the new Web Comps). My clients, of course, will still have access to all of their photography session files, at full resolution, and with no watermarks.
At any rate, I’m still wrapping up some things, but am on schedule. There will be, at least, one Venus 3 site deployed this weekend, but I’m confident that I’m on schedule to deploy at least three of them by the end of this week (if not, then I might have to postpone the commencement of the Espy program at least a week, as I need one of those sites online for the program).
The scheduled order of the web sites have changed, too, which necessitated this Tampa Photographer Blog post. There have been changes in the last week.
TampaLooks.Com will NOT be made into a web site, and will continue to serve as a lead-in domain name forwarding to the main web site. It will be changed this week to lead into TampaPhotographyDesign.Com, which is the main Aurora PhotoArts web site (AuroraPhotoArts.Com will also lead into, and forward to, the main site. There is a reason for having two domain names leading into the main site, too. Could you imagine a radio commercial stating “Aurora PhotoArts”, when “Tampa Looks” is much easier to understand, and to remember?). I’m also going to increase the number of web sites in the array from 11 to 16, expanding them to 16 a year early. All 16 photography and design marketing and support web sites should be online and fully operational by this summer. Because of this record making web site development schedule, I’ve allocated 90% of my web design and writing time for this work. As a result, most of my other web site properties have been placed on standby (making money and running a business takes priority now, as those resources will be needed for everything else later this year. Most of my money earned from my photography and design work will be reinvested into the business, used to buy new equipment, and used to reboot the other businesses. With my photography and design business now the focus of my work in 2011, that SEO 2008 issue, which is not the focus of all of this work, will be taken care of by default.)
This, of course, means that it will be summer before I can resume heavy updates on my talent resource sites, which will be the focus of the latter half of this year with my web site work.
What an interesting 16 to 18 weeks I have ahead of me. I plan of having all 16 web sites fully operational by July (with a minimum of 20 hours of work per web site). I also plan on investing in new equipment and computers by the fall.
So, here is an updated strategic update schedule regarding web sites, as well as a tactical projection with my photography and design marketing and support web site implementation schedule. I will disclose the web sites which can be disclosed at this time.

Strategic Web Site Overview
Spring 2011 to Fall 2012

1. Aurora PhotoArts marketing and support sites. 16 web site meta site.
Spring/ Summer 2011

2. Talent Resource sites. Modeling resource, acting resource, and talent resource sites.
Summer 2011 to Winter 2011.

3. Eventi Events and Eventi Stage marketing and support web sites.
Winter 2011 to Spring 2012. (Old sites currently offline; Diana Class sites to be replaced by new design class, to be determined and developed) Operations to commence Summer 2012. Eventi Stage rolls out first of its annual film festivals, the Reverence Film Festival, in fall 2012, and launches the Tampa Film Showcase monthly film festival and professional networking event series in January 2013 (See the Tampa Film Blog for details). Eventi Events and Eventi Stage will become the core Passinault.Com companies by 2013, becoming even more important than Aurora PhotoArts. All events and stage productions will become critical marketing and support platforms. DJ Frontier will rule Florida entertainment, as well as define entertainment for the 21st century.

4. Eos MediaArts advertising agency marketing and support web sites.
Spring 2012 to Summer 2012.

5. Dream Nine Studios web site/s.
Summer 2012 to Fall 2012.
Old Diana Class site to be replaced by new web site class (All Diana Class sites will be retired from our service in 2012, and will be retained for sale to customers). Currently online as a Diana Class site, but site will be relaunched on the Summer of 2012. With indie film projects being done starting this year, there will be a ton of new content for the new site, too. The new Dream Nine Studios site will be entirely in Flash and PHP, and will incorporate video and music files into the design. There will even be a virtual screening room where all of the films and series from Dream Nine Studios can be viewed, streamed, and screened, free of charge.

Aurora PhotoArts Venus 3 marketing and support web sites
Spring 2011 to Summer 2011.
All web sites online and fully operational by July 2011.

PHASE ONE (March/ April 2011)

01. Tampa Photography Design
02. Tampa Composite Cards
03. Tampa Model Testing
04. Tampa Photography Blog
05. Tampa Photographer Blog
06. Tampa Modeling Portfolios
07. Tampa Modeling Photography
08. Tampa Model Search
09. Tampa Headshots
10. Tampa Photography Society

PHASE TWO (May/ June 2011)

11. Classified
12. Classified
13. Classified
14. Classified
15. Classified
16. Classified

The classified sites will not be revealed until after phase one, which will not be until May 2011 at the earliest. Phase two will build and launch the classified sites, at which time the menus of all Aurora PhotoArts sites will be updated to reflect and connect to the new sites.
It’s possible that there could be as many as 24 Aurora PhotoArts sites by 2011. A year from now, we could be looking at two dozen Venus 3 marketing and support sites.

Regarding the Eventi, Eos, and Dream Nine Studios marketing and support sites in the later web work, it is unknown how many web sites that we will develop.
Well, I’m out for now. I have to get things done on Tampa Bay Modeling, and then proceed to edit and format pictures for the Venus 3 sites.
