Clay King
“The attractive everyman”
Clay is the picture of “handsome male model.” At least that’s what it seems like all the females who view his photos I’ve taken seem to think. He’s in his mid-twenties but can pull off a wide range of age looks with some simple lighting tweaks. Probably one of the most versatile […]

On the LightSource podcast, we had Dan Couto on the most recent show. What an amazing talent. I’m sure purists will have some critique on his images, but I love his illustrative style.
Early in my “artistic life”, I was going to be a comic book illustrator. That never happened but I was a technical illustrator […]

Well, I’m trying some new things here on EdHidden.com. I’m working on changing the focus and making the blog more “secondary” to my photography. I mean, that’s the main reason you are here, (aren’t you? I hope so). So, some things will be shifting around. Maybe I’ll see if I can get the blogging bug […]

I saw this ad in PDN and was looking at it pretty closely and some things looked familiar. It was shot by Clay Blackmore, a wedding and portrait photographer from Baltimore Maryland (not far from South Central PA).
After closer examination, I thought I recognized this location as the fountain behind the state capital here in […]

If you are going to be at PhotoPlus Expo in November. Be sure to stop by and say hello.
I will be on a panel discussing the Microstock photography business. (search for Ed Hidden on that page). Come see me get tarred and feathered for “ruining the industry”… lol. (I think it will be […]

For my model friends,
On our Studio Lighting podcast available (for free download) at StudioLighting.net. We interviewed a great photographer who talked about commercial modeling.
It was a great audio article and wonderful for people who want to get into commercial/advertising modeling.
For me, sadly it will possibly talk some of you out of doing TFP or TFCD […]
