I’ll be the very first person to admit that I go to serious extremes when it comes to omitting people from my landscape compositions. It’s not that I don’t like people (I almost couldn’t type that sentence with a straight face). Rather, I have long found that the inclusion of person, or people, in the frame of a landscape composition takes the viewer away from imagination. Instead of enjoying the...
Nowadays, when you hear the word “layers” in reference to photography, your first thought likely veers to Adobe Photoshop. So much of what I see online about photography technique focuses more on the post-processing side of things rather than in-camera. In this article, though, I’m referring to the layers within your photographic compositions. Learning to see the landscape in layers is one of the...

We truly are blessed not only to live on a planet that is so diverse and beautiful, but to also have the technology readily available to capture and share it. In a lot of ways, it makes complete sense to be overwhelmed by the enormity of our planet and to be compelled to capture as much of it as possible in a single frame. No one would blame you and I’ll be the first to admit that my go-to lens is...
Without light, a digital file can’t be etched onto your sensor and media card. Simply stated, light is essential to create a photograph. The word photography is composed of two parts: PHOTO = light and GRAPHY = to write. Light is the essential ingredient that provides an avenue for the image to eventually be driven onto your computer.

We’re all friends here, right? And friends are honest with each other. So, when I tell you that my lack of patience is truly legendary, you know that I’m telling you the truth. In some cases, my infinitesimally short attention span has served me well, especially when it comes to not hovering around one spot with my camera for too long.
However, it has also bitten me at times. When it comes to landscape...

One of the most fruitful exercises that any photographer can take on is that of a photo study. Personal photography studies can be as specific or broad as you’d like. It really is up to the individual and it should be seen more as an opportunity to admire and understand the diversity of whatever the study is about. In the case of this article, I’d like to share a brief study from my time photographing...
