read morePhotographer Harassed Online After Using American Flag as Prop for Baby Photo
Photographer Vanessa Hicks is fighting back today after being chastised and harassed online for using an American flag as a prop during a baby photo shoot. It was a simple Facebook share that has gotten quite a bit of national attention. A few days ago, on March 8th, Hicks — a veteran of the US Navy — shared a photo of an 8-day-old baby named Landon being held up by his father — a member of the US Navy — in an American flag: Hicks says she wanted to honor the flag and incorporate the family’s military background into the...
read more10 Beliefs That Suck the Life out of Photographers
What if I told you that it’s not the industry, the bad economy, where you live, what camera you shoot with, how many lights you have or how small your Facebook following is that is holding you back. None of those are truly capable of stopping you, they are only challenges for you to meet — the same challenges everyone who creates art or starts a business has to meet and beat. The things that are truly holding you back are your own beliefs. Belief that it IS one of those reasons above. Believing that it is a geography thing that...

Hang Son Doong is a cave in Vietnam that’s currently the largest known cave in the world. Inside is a vast green jungle-like world and underground river that looks like something out of the movie Avatar. Photographer Ryan Deboodt recently brought his DSLRs and camera drone into the cave to capture what it’s like from both the ground and the air. The 6-minute video above is the “otherworldly journey†he was able to capture. Many of the shots feature visitors to the cave to show scale — the cave is enormous. The largest chamber...

In the four years following the disaster, the company’s “Save the Memory†project found and cleaned 418,721 photos, returning 90,128 pictures to the people who lost them. Ricoh is now offering a glimpse of how this monumental effort...

read moreHow to Make the Most of Hard Light with Black and White Photography
A Post By: Andrew S. Gibson The quality of light is an important aspect of successful photography – good photographers spend hours chasing the most suitable light for the type of photography they do. That usually means working at the beginning or the end of the day, when the sun is low in the sky and the light has many beautiful qualities. But what about the middle of the day? Many photographers avoid shooting in direct sunlight in this period, especially in summer, because the light is so hard and strong. You can’t use it for portraits...
read moreSunshine: My Favorite Light Source
A Post By: Melinda Smith I’m a minimalist gal when it comes to most things, and photography equipment is no exception. I know that some people love equipment and gear; the more the better. But when I think about lugging lights, reflectors, and flashes around, my creativity takes a nosedive. My favorite light source, hands down, is the sun. In the words of John Denver, sunshine on my shoulder makes me happy! I’d love to share some dos (because who likes to be told what NOT to do?) to help you harness the power of the giant lamp in the...
read moreTenba announces Switch bags for mirrorless cameras and lenses
Aside from the interchangeable flaps, these aren’t that different from the Tenba DNA series. I own the DNA 8, and its a great bag for my E-PM2 and lenses. What makes a bag ‘mirrorless?’ Really, it’s just the depth. My Olympus Zuiko 14-54 lens, with adapter, might not be much more than DSLR kit lens sized at 4″/10cm, 67mm filter thread, and 500 grams, but it is by far my longest/largest/heaviest lens. When attached to my E-PM2, the entire shebang is about 6-6.5″ deep, depending on whether or not I have the...

Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
