about Fred Scholpp Photo
Male
I am a guy who comes to photography after years of fine arts work. I have been serious about photography since 2014. Been making progress, but keep learning how much I don't know, so I still feel like a novice. I am drawn to photograph the same subjects that I have drawn, that is, people and their surroundings.I am passionate about getting good portraits, especially environmental ones, also love figure work, and pictures that tell a story.
I am inspired by my love of great artists of the past, especially the Old Masters of the 16-17th centuries. I have been trying to catch some of that feel they had with my relatively new medium, the digital camera.
I hope to be able to find models to work with, great locations to shoot people in, and opportunities to learn new skills.
Thanks for the add to your gallery!
Thank you for the follow!! I hope we get the chance to work together sometime!
Fred, thank you for your kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed the image of Meghan. That was an amazing shoot.
Totally agree
"Godess" by the way started as a white background, the rest is layers in Photoshop.
Thank you Fred! I have only four backdrops in studio; white, black, brown and fantasy cloth. I layer textures in Photoshop to modify the backdrops. That gives me lots of options in presenting the subject.
Thanks for the gallery add. Great portfolio!
I was just checking out yours too, I'm most impressed. You consistently nail these lovely figure studies! And I must ask, are a lot of these using your own painted backdrops?
I love your work. It has such a rich and painterly feel. Thank you for sharing your unique vision with the world.
Loving your work very classicily orientaited.
Thank you for the kind words. I am enjoying browsing your portfolio also. Best, Eric
