My First Shoot Using the Canon EOS-R- does this camera have what it takes to compete with Sony? New video coming out soon from an incredible shoot we did a few days ago.

You’d be amazed what you can create with some black light, toothpaste, fog and your IMAGINATION!!

10,000 hours- there’s an old saying in the professional world that says you need to PRACTICE something for at least 10,000 hours to Master it.

There are other sayings like, “Practice Makes Perfect.”

Athletes, musicians, actors, and virtually all creators who amount to anything do so as a result of talent combined with VERY HARD WORK.

I say all of this to let all of you know, I still practice. ALL of the time. I’ve already done my first 10,000 hours. But
I never intended on stopping there.

For every 10 people that find an excuse as to why they can’t do something, there’s 1 person that find a way to do anything.

“I don’t have lights.”

“I can’t afford modifiers.”

“I can’t, I can’t, I can’t.”

This image is from one of my practice sessions with the incomparable @em.explores . Shot using a simple table lamp with a washcloth as a diffuser.

Start saying, “I CAN” and go make it happen. The only person stopping you is YOU.

Getting International- 2019 started off in Cuba with a wild trip to Havana and more. This pic of @em.explores of her hanging out of a taxi we took was just a 30 second shoot that was a blast!

Starting next month the international locations are going to resume starting with a stop at The Photo Show in Birmingham where we’ll be doing a Photo Walk as well as appearances at the show and Rotolight booth.

After that we’ll be heading down to London for a Advanced Creative Lighting Workshop that is going to be AWESOME March 25-27th.

Discovering Light- it can be one of the most game changing points of a photographers career as the ability to shape, modify, and bend lighting to your will truly separate you from all the other photographers out there.

Come and join @em.explores and I in Las Vegas where we’ll be doing 3 different events on February 27th-28th as I teach you how to do just that with flash, LED, and ambient lighting.

It’s going to be quite a ride in one of the most colorful and dynamic lighting places on earth. We have a photo walk and two glamour shoot sessions in a luxury Penthouse Suite with just a few spots left!!

We can’t wait to see you there….

Make sure to check out @em.explores for more shots from this shoot!

Black Light-Black and White..with the new Canon EOS-R…

Last night was a pretty crazy night doing my first shoot with the Full Frame Canon Mirrorless. I had the opportunity to shoot with both the 50mm f/1.2 and the 28-70 f/2 lenses.

This particular image is with the 28-70 at f/2, lit completely using black lights. In other shots we added some fog into the mix to catch and reflect the black light going on.

@em.explores killed it as usual and used some crazy stuff on her face to reflect and catch the black light including toothpaste!!

I can’t wait to release more pics and videos from the new Canon camera. It’s going to be an interesting ride…:)

A BIG THANKS to Oscar Aguila and the folks at 4 Wall Entertainment for making last night possible. It’s a fantastic facility with a plethora of products that can make photography truly FUN. These guys do all the stuff for the Oscars and Grammy’s….so you know it good!

Thank you to @bhphoto for sending me the Canon gear to test…very much appreciated!!

Settings: Canon EOS R, 1/60 sec at f/2, 55mm at ISO 500.

Load the Canons!!!! I’ve said for years that IF Canon ever released a full frame mirrorless I would of course give it a go.

Not giving it a fair shake would be a dereliction of my duties as a big believer in the mirrorless landscape as I do believe it’s the present and future of photography.

@em.explores and I will be putting it through it’s paces this week and I can’t wait to share it with all of you…

Still a Sony Shooter, but as always leaving my mind open to everything that’s out there.

The end of 2018 gave us 3 new full frame mirrorless camera announcements and late releases.

2019 is the year of the mirrorless like never before and shapes up to be the most competitive ever. It’s gonna be so much fun to see what develops out there.

A big thanks to my friends at @bhphoto for helping me out with gear..very appreciated!!

Let the games begin…:)

Creative Catch Light- in a world full of photography where it seems that only sex sells, @em.explores and I are really working to show that creativity is alive and well inside of all of us if you just think a little outside the box.

This image is from my shoot tonight @fdphotostudio using the @olympuscameras OMD1 Mark II with a lot of beautiful lights by @rotolight.

We used Anova Pro 2’s, an Aeos, and Neo 2’s….

This is a really cool production shot she grabbed last night while I was setting up for our Red Queen studio shoot. The talent this lady has just blows me away…:)

By the time I was done we ended up using 2 Rotolight Anova Pro 2’s, 1 Aeos, and 1 Neo 2.

We are really getting creative with the lighting my friends and yes there are a lot of videos coming for all of you. Thank you for your patience as we are cranking out the shoots..

It’s about to get REAL.

Trying Lighting with Different Systems- one thing I love about light is that it doesn’t matter or care what camera brand is in your hands…

Natural light, ambient light, or artificial light will work no matter what you use…

So in that spirit I’m diving into seeing what the different brands out there can do with using light.

A big thanks to @rotolight for sending me all of the different transmitters that work with their light system so I can give it a go with a bunch of fun cameras.

I’ve also been getting a lot of questions by people out there about the @elinchrom_ltd Skyport trigger so here you go!

It’s gonna be illuminating..:)

Opening Up the Playbook- I can’t tell you how excited I am for 2019. It’s going to be a year where we really open up what we do in a way that’s very exciting for everyone to be able to follow.

For many years I’ve been a Nikon or Sony shooter. I love both of those brands and the people associated with them. And I’m still very much a Sony shooter.

But after releasing my first Nikon video in 5 years, I can’t tell you how many people have sent messages or posted comments thanking me for reaching out to other brands and helping photographers to see what else is out there.

I’m very blessed that I’m in the position to be able to get my hands on virtually any photography gear on the planet. I’ve decided to use this position to help benefit people out there who want to see and know about gear but aren’t necessarily in the same position to be able to try it before buying it.

And I’m so sick of just hearing about specs….I want to REALLY know what matters most. WHAT CAN I PRODUCE WITH THIS GEAR??

I also am cognizant of the fact that I have followers who use all different types of gear and I want to be able to relate to them as well. That’s something I’ve thought about for years and now it’s time to relate a little bit more to everyone.

So, let the games begin. Competition is good for any society and industry to be able to bring out the best in the marketplace.

By nature I’m a very curious individual. And I’m feeling that curiosity bug like never before.

As we speak I have two new camera systems coming to my place to shoot with next week. It’s gonna be an adventure and I can’t wait to share it with all of you…

XOXO

Framing- one of the most challenging things for photographers is to compose and frame a shot. This image taken at my workshop at the Salton Sea shows how I chose to frame the image with @em.explores in between the environment and the building.

The other thing to note is the straight lines. You need to line up your lines with something straight in the composition to make them correct.

I lit the shot using the Rotolight Anova Pro 2 to give it a spotlight effect.

The sky? Well sunset at the Salton Sea is just beautiful. We’ll be showing select footage of this workshop in an upcoming video.

Training a Protégée- one of the best things about my career has been to help others achieve their dreams.

Whether that’s in a big or small way, I enjoy helping others in any way I can.

Over the past 8 months I’ve been able to start training and be a true mentor to @em.explores. It’s been quite a ride, and it’s been so rewarding to watch her grow.

May the future be as bright for her as I see it to be.

What you may not know is that she was a photographer ever before she was a model. Crazy right?

What’s even better is she now can help with the instruction at my workshops…

This silhouette image was taken at the Salton Sea. She’s getting that one handed shooting position down pretty good I’d say..:)

Getting POP out of your images using long lenses and wide apertures….as I’m working through some of the old pics I took in 2018 I came across this one I took of Emily at the Oceanside Pier using the Sony 400mm f/2.8.

The longer lens you use the more the laws of compression come into play which means you pull the background into the shot more.

While shooting her under the pier this effect is illustrated by the columns which are behind @em.explores

Long lenses aren’t the easiest to use and with this one I needed walkie talkies to speak with my models lol….but

The results can be amazing!!
