Fall ahead
Posted by admin in Uncategorized on August 27, 2009
Here in Madison WI we have barely scratched the surface of one 90 degree day and already fall seems like it is upon us. That means it is time to get your exterior architecture photography done before it is too late! September can have some of the nicest light of the year – the shadows and angle of the sun are much less harsh, even at noontime and the quality of the light is a bit more golden and romantic. The weather in October can be quite unpredictable, as many who have scheduled their weddings in that month can attest, so September is the time to finish up any exterior photography shots.

La beauté de printemps…

Here in Madison, Wisconsin Tadsen Photography is waiting eagerly for some foliage to appear. Now a purist might say that you can photograph anything at any time of year and make it art, and that is most likely the truth. But there is nothing like the greenery returning to the verdant hills and dales of Wisconsin to make a person want to grab their camera and make that vain, human attempt to capture some of the feeling of that sweetest time of year.
Capturing rural Wisconsin may very well be the great project of the year. I’m not so much known for landscape photography, but I’ve recently acquired an Epson 9600 which will allow me to make prints four feet wide by unlimited lengths, and this leads to the temptation to create vast, extravagant panaromas. I’ve discovered that capturing rural, agricultural scenes does not need to be cliche, that it can be done with depth and feeling and not be something that people have seen 1000 times before on every postcard stand in every convenience store in this state.
So it’s off to the countryside with Tadsen Photography. When the green comes, look for me there.
Wednesday
Posted by admin in Uncategorized on March 4, 2009
It’s Wednesday and the Tadsen Photography staff of minions is hard at work churning out digital images, giving me just enough breathing space to fire off a quick blog post. January and February were a month for art reproduction and large industrial products. Such disparate subject matter is part of what helps improve my skill as a photographer. Many is the time in which I realize that the lessons learned lighting a massive industrial valve also can apply to the lighting of a completely unrelated scene: a butterfly, human being or tractor trailer. Specialization is all well and good, but we like to say that we specialize in everything, drawing on the experiences learned from various experiences helps to create stronger imagery in general.
Another Wordpress Blogjam

Yes, folks, here it is the third instantiation of the Tadsen Photography “blog!” The previous instantiations disappeared into the great wild web hosting forest, along with several other important folders. My web host claims complete obliviousness.
So, after many machinations, here it is again, the Tadsen Photography web log! Tadsen Photography has had a very busy January. Editorially, I’ve been photographing 40 notable individuals all under the age of 40 for In Business’ annual “40 under 40″ issue. It’s always great to meet so many dynamic people and hear a little bit about what is on their minds. See a sneak preview at
On the product and commercial front there’s been a lot of demand to photography large industrial equipment. Who’d know? In the depths of a downturn and with people laid off and production cut, manufacturers are still showcasing their wares. That’s some good news and we all hope it continues up to and into the promised recovery. The recovery is coming soon, right?
All right, that will do it for our first new post. Please give any feedback you feel that you might want to give, we are always ready to hear what you think!
