Rangefinder Magazine Rangefinder Magazine - January 2011
Low Volume, Fast Pace. Sam Sciarrino
By Michelle Perkins

For Sam Sciarrino, being a professional photographer simply means being a professional—period. It’s not about convoluted marketing schemes, gimmicky images or acting like a rock star. Even a short
conversation quickly reveals that Sciarrino is someone who sets everhigher standards for all aspects of his business, but also that he is adept at prioritizing his objectives and working toward them in a strategic way. Sciarrino is a second-generation photographer who began his career shooting weddings for his parents’ photography business. He didn’t do much with the skills he learned until he turned 21 and walked into Tibor Horvath’s Toronto studio with a mission—to learn, to grow and become a master photographer. “I worked my way up,” he says. “I started entering competitions and I worked really hard.” Within a few years he became a partner in the firm. By the age of 27 he had earned his Craftsman and Master degrees from Professional Photographers of Canada; at 28, he added to that list with Craftsman and Master degrees from PPA. Seven years after walking through the Tibor’s door, Sciarrino became the co-owner of Horvath Photography; three years later he attained full ownership.

Thank You Michael ONeill and Sam Sciarrino…bare bulb?

Marketing Essentials International Marketing Consulting for the Photography Industry

Posted on January 07th, 2011 in Lighting

Michaeil ONeill had a great comment to this week’s post about Don Blair’s use of bare bulb. In fact, it’s so relevant it deserves it’s own moment on the blog rather than disappearing in the comments on Facebook…

I remember the days when using bare bulbs on our Lumedynes & Norman 200B’s was the only way to lower flash output enough to create off-camera flash effects for proper exposure ratios. In this day and age of TTL exposure and flash units that… dial down to 128th power (without neutral density filters) the timeless effect is still valid.

We were ‘forced’ to employ these techniques even when we were limited to ISO 100 film emulsions. The technique of balancing your off camera flash settings with the ambient fill light are as valid today as back in the day. Fundamentals, people. There’s a reason your Nikon and Canon strobes come with that little diffusion cover today…properly used it’s nothing less than the perfect little bare bulb.” Michael ONeill

Then I got an email with some bare bulb images from my old buddySam Sciarrino in Canada. Again, great examples of a terrific technique!  Sam’s note to me said, “I guess I’m not on your radar right now. Just a couple of images to look at, all bare bulb.” Attached were a half dozen stunning images of which the two below were my favorites!  Sam, buddy, you’re on my radar!
