In part 1 and part 2 of this three-part series, I covered numerous considerations of how to develop an “Eye for an Eye” in portrait photography. In this final installment, we’ll take a look at how to make the light work for your portraits, no matter if your subject is people or animals.
My business motto is, “It’s All About The Light.” When it comes to this critical aspect,...

An exercise that I often do when I find myself in a creative funk is to review all of the photos that I’ve worked on and shared in one form or another, starting with the oldest. Many times, I’ll pick up on a theme or evolutionary change that invariably sparks my creativity and gets me out of that funk. One revelation I had during such an exercise was how far I’ve come with appreciating obstacles...

Juxtaposition, or the act of placing two things side-by-side to compare them, is a very powerful compositional tool to consider whenever you’re shooting. I’m a big fan of finding ways to allow compositional elements to contrast against each other. One of my favorite examples of this, especially with my landscape photography, is to pit natural pathways against man-made ones. There is an irresistibly...

Who doesn’t love to see a beautiful, sharp sunburst in a photo? It’s a compositional element that almost always draws wide-eyed reactions from viewers, and for good reason. The inclusion of the sun can be a very powerful element to add impact to your photos, especially when you have fun with it. But first, a few things to consider would be its placement within your frame and the capabilities of your...

I moved to southern Utah a few months ago and one of the things that I’m most excited about is being able to explore the myriad slot canyons in this area—once the daily temps aren’t high enough to where you can literally fry an egg on the pavement. Of all the slot canyons here, perhaps the most famous are the Upper and Lower Antelope Canyons. These slot canyons are completely mesmerizing and offer...

For many years, especially in my early photography days, I didn’t give much thought to the relationship between my primary point of focus and its surroundings. In most cases, it never had much of an impact (or at least I don’t think it did). However, as I grew into landscape photography, the idea of finding relationships between my primary subject and its surroundings became more important. It was...

“R” stands for resolution, and the new Sony a7R IV pushes that spec further than ever before for the Alpha series, with its 61-megapixel back-illuminated sensor. That’s massive resolution for a full-frame camera, but there’s more. For still subjects like architecture or even landscapes in calm weather, the a7R IV offers a Pixel Shift Multi Shooting mode that takes up to 16 full-resolution images,...

Throughout the history of the art world, major changes and advancements have occurred. During the evolution, it’s seen both revolution and realignments. Regardless of the changes, one aspect has remained constant—portraiture has remained a common subject.
Starting with petroglyphs of hunted animals to the hypnotic eyes and haunting smile of the Mona Lisa to snapshots of your loved ones to wildlife...

At Photokina 2018 last fall, Sigma, Leica and Panasonic announced the L-Mount Alliance, a joint venture between the companies to develop full-frame mirrorless cameras and lenses based on a new L-mount. Today, Sigma has introduced its first camera and three lenses for the system.
The Sigma fp is positioned as “the world’s smallest and lightest ‘pocketable full-frame’” camera, and it is indeed compact...

Next to the tilt/shift lens, I’d wager that the fisheye lens is the most underrated piece of glass, especially when it comes to landscape photography. Sure, it’s probably an unorthodox choice and one that falls pretty low on the list. As landscape photographers, we’ve been conditioned to grab our holy trinity of lenses—the 16-35mm, 24-70mm and 70-200mm (or 100-400mm)—and there is nothing wrong with...
