Like an infinite number of monkeys on an infinite number of typewriters, an infinite number of photographers snapping an infinite number of photos will sooner or later produce something worth viewing.
But who wants to be just another monkey?
Athletic Portrait Lighting Breakdown + Getting Models
Last week I shot an athletic portrait session for emerging fitness model Kristin Cavarzan.
In this article, I want to touch on the studio lighting setup that I like to use for athletic portraits, the benefit of using modeling lights, post production photo editing, the importance of unique photographs and where to find and hire models.
Pros Vs. Joes – The Difference Between Amateur and Professional Photographers
There has been a lot of talk recently about what the difference is between amateur and professional photographers.
Comments by industry big shots, such as Yahoo’s Marissa Mayer who proclaim that there “is no such thing really as professional photographers” (well maybe not pro cat/flower/sunset photographers posting to Flickr anyway).
Or, when venerable institutions such as the Chicago Sun Times decide to lay off their entire photography staff – you do start to wonder – what exactly is the difference between amateur and professional photographers?
It’s The Light, Stupid
Some of you may be old enough to remember the 1992 US presidential election between Bill Clinton and George Bush Sr.
One of the key mantras for the Clinton campaign was the phrase “The Economy, Stupid”, which was meant to remind the campaign team that the economy was the crux of the whole election.
So, what does the election of Bill Clinton twenty one years ago to be the President of the United States have to do with photography?
Nothing – it’s just an interesting back story.
But, now that you’re paying attention, I’m going to apply some political spin, and the famous “It’s The Economy, Stupid” phrase to photography:
It’s The Light, Stupid.
eMotimo TB3 Review for Time Lapse Photography
I have a big and complicated time lapse film project on the horizon, and one of the new pieces of gear I recently picked up was an eMotimo TB3 Black robotic panoramic head.
I have created my fair share of time lapse films in the past. However, for this project I really wanted to step up my game by adding some killer dynamic time lapse sequences.
That is where the eMotimo TB3 comes in. The eMotimo TB3 is basically a robotic panoramic head that allows a time lapse film maker / photographer to make pan and tilt moves (two axis) while filming a time lapse photography sequence.
(The eMotimo TB3 head can also be added to a robotic dolly to produce pan, tilt and push / pull moves – three axis control.)
The resulting time lapse video sequences can be pretty mind boggling – and that sense of dynamic motion is exactly what I wanted to add to my work.

Considering A Group Buying Deal? You Might As Well Be Working For Free
We are familiar with Groupon or other group purchase services from the buying side. Those services offer you a pretty cheap coupon to get an item, or a service for about half the price or sometime even less provided that enough buyers hope on the deal.
[If you have never bought a Smartphone case from them raise your hand. No hands? good, you know what group purchases are. let’s continue..]
But how do those deals looks from the service providers side? Specifically from a photographer’s point of view. Photographer JP Danko of blurMEDIA photography was recently approached by a group purchase service to offer a full session coupon for $29.
