Very, very rarely do I come across a location shoot where the ever adaptable light stand just can’t cut the mustard when I need to hang a light. The only time I find myself unable to use a light stand is when I simply don’t have enough room to squeeze a light stand into a [...]
So throughout my life, I’ve occasionally owned venus flytraps. I’m not what you’d call a “plant guy” by any means, in fact, the only plants I’ve ever purchased for myself are flytraps. I’m sure most of you all know that these are not your normal, give water, give sunlight kinda plant. Of course the flytrap [...]
So, what do you need to use when you are looking for softbox-like light quality without having light spill all over the place? The answer is simple, the gridded softbox. It gives you the same control over light as normal grid spots that you’d throw in front of a normal barebulb light, but now with [...]
Ok… so we are shooting on-location. Woah, hold on. What does “on-location” even mean?! That all depends on you, the photographer, or you, the client who has hired a photographer. A lot of new photogs out there will toss around words like “on-location” to describe in a round-about way of saying they don’t use lighting. [...]
Yep, that’s my super intelligent title for this post. Sorry, I’m kinda at a loss for this one. The resulting pictures from this shoot are actually for the Emergency Food Network. They have a harvest every year where they grow their own food for the food donation cause. The EFN team want me to capture [...]
Looking for a high-end, well performing, dynamic DLSR? Look no further, this camera is a no-brainer. I bought this back when it first came out to help support production efforts for a calendar project I was doing. It’s main function in life is being a backup to my 5D mkII. How would you like the [...]
25 MBs a pop, yes, that’s right… every time I click the shutter on my 5D mkII, the 21.1 megapixel DSLR consumes 25 megs on the memory card. The real concern is not how fast today’s cameras fill up 8 or even 16 GB memory cards, it’s at the end of the day when I [...]
I’m trying to make an effort to write more posts about some of my equipment, ’cause I know that other photographers out there in the market for new stuff would like to hear feedback about this stuff from real people they know, and not some crummy product review on adorama.com. I’m also going to try [...]
A wireless flash trigger system, ya gotta have it. A must have with on-location lighting photography, but I’d argue almost a must have in the studio as well. No one needs to be tripping over those old dinosaur sync cables now-a-days. Of course we all want them, it’s just a matter of if you can [...]
So I ponied up some dough and bought the AlienBee RingFlash system a couple weeks ago. Just got out in the studio to finally play around with if for the first time. Lisa, the brave soul for most of my lighting testing, stepped in to let me blind her at point-blank range for an hour [...]
The blog has been quiet for a week or so, and for good reason. I’m currently conceptualizing a large-scale photography project. It will involve the community, creating inspiring pictures, and best of all, it’ll cost you, the ones getting your photo taken, absolutely nothing. More to come on that once I have it all polished [...]
Every time I hear the words “weapon of choice,” I think of Christopher Walken dancing around like a fool in Fatboy Slim’s music video. And to be honest, the first time I slapped the Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM lens on my camera body, I felt like dancing like Chris too.
For years, I have shot [...]
