Photoshoot and Beyond
Category: Travel Photographer: Michel Krämer “Oslo Barcode I” I love the story behind these buildings, nicely captured by Photographer of the Day Michel Krämer. Apparently this skyline located within the Opera Quarter of Oslo, Norway is commonly known as the “Barcode”. And indeed, photographed on a gray day with quiet reflections on the adjacent water, this…
I take very seriously my efforts to read as much as I can, visit as many museums as I can, study other art forms as much as I can, so that those things can inform my photography. The way I practice bird photography is very deliberate. I don’t just hope for something to happen – I…
December 3rd, 2015 was the day I bought my first camera. I carefully chose one body and one lens (Nikon D5300 and a prime 50mm). These are some of the things I’ve learned throughout my journey: I still don’t know how to compose. My good photos are just a fraction of all the pictures I […]

There is hardly anyone who hasn’t heard of Pirelli. Even us who can’t drive have heard of this tire brand – thanks to their famous calendar. The company dates back to 1872, but the calendar was created in 1962. The sales had dropped, and they needed something to boost it. At that time, sexy girlie […]

HDR photography is a gift of the digital age. To a one-time film photographer like me, it’s magic. I never imagined that one day I would be blending together bracketed images to create a single photograph with an extended dynamic range. A photograph in which I was able to retain details in the shadows and not blow out highlights.…
If you are shooting with a Sony camera, you know that they eat and spit batteries faster than I eat M&Ms. One trivial options is carry another set of batteries (though originals are about $45 each). What I am doing is using off the shelf power banks to run the Sony for much longer than its […]

Here is something I did not see coming. Photographer Robert Hall did a full comparisson between the $600 Godox AD600BM* and the $2,100 Profoto B1. While you’d think that the Profoto will nuke the AD600, this was not the case at all, and in most parameters it either won the battle or stood up fairly well. There […]

Category: Street. Photograph: “Pisa, 2016” by Karina Ter (username “Karina Ter” on Flickr). Originally shared on the Photofocus Flickr community right here. Why I picked this image: This artistic street photo by Karina grabbed my attention due to the interesting framing, depth of field perception and the nice silhouette of the man with a hat. People wearing classic…
Ever since the release of the first Deadpool trailer I knew I wanted to do a photo-shoot based on this character. The personality of this character leaves me with endless possibilities, from badass attitude to total irreverent behavior. First step was to source a cosplayer with a badass costume. I’ve been searching for a while […]
