Lightroom Magazine just came out, and I got lucky with another cover on this publication.  What was really interesting about this shoot was the concept.  In talking with the editor, we wanted to come up with a concept to illustrate simple lighting techniques that required very basic setups and equipment.  In other words, lighting techniques Read More

I really enjoy photographing a variety of subjects and assignments.  My career started photographing adventure sports, but this quickly led to lifestyle, travel, portraits, landscape and wildlife.  Honestly, I love the photographic process, and while some subjects/stories are more interesting to me, I also love the photography behind the image.  Last week I was photographing Read More

I love shooting editorial assignments.  Lots of freedom on what to shoot, how to shoot it, and exploring creative ideas.  I have been doing assignments for Digital Photo Magazine for many years, and really value being able to contribute to this magazine along with Outdoor Photographer and Digital Photo Pro magazines.  Recently DP published a Read More

I normally write this blog aimed at sharing technique and industry news.  But on workshops I get asked where my work gets published, and what assignments I shoot.  Each month I shoot assignments, write articles and shoot stock (yes, we still license stock images).  I love to write technique and destination articles for photography magazines, Read More

I have been using the D850 since it came out about Read More

Always nice to be featured in magazine ads…check out the current issue of Digital Photo Pro.  Sandisk ran an advertorial featuring my work and the backstory of my career.  It’s been an honor to work with Sandisk through the years.  The Sandisk Extreme Team recognizes photographers who push the limits in their genre, and I Read More

I have been writing stories for Digital Photo, Digital Photo Pro and Outdoor Photographer for many years.  These magazines are a bargain ($20/year), and offer lots of technique and gear reviews.  In an age where so much is online, I love getting a printed magazine in my mailbox.  I can flip through the pages at Read More

One program I find myself using a lot is Aurora HDR 2018. I’ve done earlier posts on this software; it is my favorite HDR software.  In a nutshell, Aurora HDR offers tons of adjustment tools and presets when processing your images, and the final images are very clean.  Aurora HDR just announced their 2019 version, Read More
