When I first began experimenting with off camera flashes I accumulated so many lightstands that I didn't know what to do with them. I had small ones that were easy to transport, large ones that could hold more weight, even larger ones to put a boom and beauty [...]
It is rare to find a product that has such a monopolizing hold on a market as Pocket Wizards have in the photography trigger market. They are the industry standard, and everything else pales in comparison. That isn't to say that there aren't other decent [...]
I was thinking to do something like this for a long time, even bought some broadcast equipment and software, but now, with Google Plus it become so easy to have your own show without investing a dime! I came to the idea to run dedicated to a studio photography [...]

My friend Alexander James has been working on a cool project for a while, that I wanted to share with you guys: Photographing butterflies in flight. "My photographs are always presented ‘as-shot’ without cropping or post production either [...]
I just got a catalog from a major art and crafts show and as I went through it I realized just how many artists still use bad backgrounds for their jury submissions and ads. By that I mean those photos where a lovely earth tone scarf is buried in autumn leaves [...]

It all began when I collected a water lily from our garden pond for a still life shot à la Mapplethorpe. After rummaging through two cupboards filled with an array of vases and containers, nothing seemed a perfect match. So I decided to cut off [...]
There is no substitute to testing your equipment. Yes, you can read reviews and learn what others are saying but the only true way to know your lens, camera and lights are to do your own test. In the new video download, Ten Ways to Photograph [...]
