Photoshoot and Beyond
I shoot a lot of images on my iPhone. It’s the camera that’s always with me when I stumble upon something interesting. In 2015 Apple introduced Live Photos at the iPhone 6s release, which creates a video showing the moments right before and right after you take a picture. These “sidecar” video files are 2 seconds in length…
I admit it…I’m not perfect. Sometimes the simplest things can come back and bite you. A few months ago, I made the trek up to Crescent City, California for a photo adventure in Redwood National Forest. The day I arrived, we checked into the hotel and went to find the beach for sunset. Being from…
I’m lucky enough to be spending a few days relaxing with my family on a beach. On our way there, I was charging my camera batteries and starting thinking of a few tips for keeping my camera safe while still snapping on the sandy shore. Isn’t my Camera Body Weather-Sealed? Luckily yes, most camera bodies…
Ok…so not entirely true. But made you click, right? Sometimes I’m afforded opportunities to travel the country with a video production group and recently I was out in the Mountain West region of the United States: Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Nevada, and California over the course of 17 days. Though I only had 5 events, it…
I frequently find myself walking away from my iMac when batch exporting images from Lightroom or rendering video. Before walking away, I want to make sure the computer doesn’t go to sleep and stop exporting/rendering my files. I’m not a big fan of wasting time and nothing is worse than setting 10 videos to render…

Category: Sports Photograph: yet another biker (y.a.b.) by Christop (Watcher/124 on Flickr) Christoph shot a great image of a biker using his Fuji X-T1. I really like how he panned the image with the biker, blurring the background. The black-and-white conversion is pretty good, although I would have liked to see the blacks punched up a little…
Category: Architecture Photograph: One Kemble Street There are so many different ways to photograph architecture, and I really love getting in close and creating something abstract out of something very real. Nic Taylor did just that with his image of One Kemble Street. The light glistens off the balconies perfectly, as if the image was taken…
Category: Architecture Photograph: Stairway This is a very interesting composition…there’s a mix of architecture and portraiture. I love how the beams and stairs criss-cross throughout the image, but I also think the timing was perfect, with the two people on the landing. It helps add depth and scale to the image. I think the vertical composition adds…
Category: Architecture Photograph: Oculus For those that don’t know, Oculus is part of the rebuilt World Trade Center in New York. If you haven’t been, it’s definitely worth a trip. Michael’s photo really shows the amazing design work by it’s architect, Santiago Calatrava. Not only is the image perfectly symmetrical, Michael also chose to keep a few…
