His photos show action frozen in time, but he doesn’t add the objects in Photoshop. Everything you see is created in the scene and […]

Whenever one gets posted, the smart ones chime in with “It’s nothing to do with your focal length, it’s all about subject distance”. And, they’re right. The confusion really all comes down to equivalent framing of the subject. If you stay where you are […]

Photographer creates surreal moody art with only stock photos

February 5, 2017Clinton lofthouse

Recently I got involved in the old debate on using stock images in personal art. The outrage of not taking the images in a composite yourself. This is a debate that will probably still be going until the end of time. My stance is that art is art. It’s not how you create it that […]
