Photoshoot and Beyond
Category: Wedding Photographer: Stephen Wolfe I adore the recreation of the classic “American Gothic” painting. Stephen did a great job paying homage to such an iconic image but still showing his clients’ personalities. Photo originally shared on our Photofocus Flickr Page here.

There are very few additions that you can make to your camera bag that spur your creativity as much as a Lensbaby lens does. I’ve bought my first Lensbaby for my full frame DSLR in 2006. Today, 10 years later I still enjoy using my (latest version for APS-C Fuji X-Mount) Lensbaby Composer Pro Sweet…

Last summer I joined friends on a walking tour of the coastal cliffs of Cornwall, a county located at England’s southwestern tip. The undulating Cornish coastline is steep and rugged, with hidden coves and beaches, picturesque villages, fishing harbors, and ruins of vacant mines. This was not a trip geared to photography or photographers, so…

Why I picked this image: Friendly and humourous street photos have gained in popularity in recent years. There are even street photography groups that only focus on these kind of street photos. These street photos capture a…
Here’s a cool trick that my friend Amr Tahtawi showed me a while ago and that I keep using for my light-painting pictures. As usual, I do a series of quick light-painting pictures with Kim Henry at blue hour (to get the nice background). Most of them are lit in one second. These are created using tubeguards. Make […]

Jupiter was a class of lens made by manufacturers of the former Soviet Union. There were quite a few different lenses in the Jupiter lineup, and in this set of videos from Mathieu Stern, we’re going to learn about four of them. A lot of people tend to ignore older lenses, but I picked up a Jupiter-9 85mm […]
