As a Houston Photographer

When I first started this blog I thought I would post frequently.  Yet, here it is, months later, and this is just my second blog post and probably not a long one either.  As a very busy Houston photographer I spend much of my week away from my studio.  In spite of this, I strive to keep an easygoing style creating an atmosphere of comfort for my clients.

Commercial Houston Photographer Blog

Welcome to the official Blog of Houston Photographer Sylvester Garza.

My vision for this Web Log is for it to be a forum of sorts to discuss concerns, issues, new technology, professional development, education, work-flow, photo shop editing tips, Raw file formats,  and any other topics relevant to Professional Digital Photography.

From time to time, i will also post observations from my various photo shoots, as well as photography tips, and training concepts and other ideas that might support  the creation of successful images.

I look forward to your comments . . . SG
