Photographer of the Week
Owned and operated by Ben Becker, Becker Photo is fast becoming a recognized name in the greater North West region of the US.
What is your primary camera body?
My primary camera body is the canon 1D Mark II. I also love the 5D as a secondary camera.
Two lenses you use the most
The canon 24/70 f2.8, 70-200 f2.8and 20 f2.8. I love the 85 f1.2 for a romantic feel.
Do you shoot RAW?
Yes
How would you describe your photography style?
Illustrative. Its a blend of the fun "photojournalistic" look with small amounts of direction. Putting subjects in great lighting and environments, then letting them do the rest!
Do you normally employ assistants or 2nd shooters?
My wife Linda is the brains on the wedding day. She keeps the day flowing on schedule while I have fun with the couple.
What do you remember about your first (or one of your first) wedding?
I remember realizing that my old Nikon D100 could only pop off a RAW shot every 22 seconds, so I traded in everything for new Canon gear and never looked back.
If you were getting married this year, who would you want to shoot your wedding?
I would have to go with Jim Garner on this one. He's my mentor and teacher. I look up to he and his wife Katarina a ton. They are finally getting the recognition they deserve for their profound style!
What advice would you give to someone just beginning their career as a wedding photographer?
I would say be a yes person and take every opportunity, be humble and learn from others.

You may have noticed the blog has been acting a bit flakey yesterday and today. We're on top of things and working to fix a bug that is crashing the blog server.
Expect a better, more stable blogging experience this week.
Thanks for you patience.

BIG Show Bug Fix for Windows
We just patched a couple BIG Show bugs that were effecting Windows users. Some Windows users were not able to create BIG Shows via the .zip file option. BIG Show was trying to verify the file type and some .zip files created in Windows were getting punted.
We have corrected the problem: you should now be able to use the .zip file option (and create QuickShows) in Windows.
If you have an open support ticket related to this issue, we will be updating it shortly.
Thanks.
