Reflection Canyon is an aweinspiring offshoot of Lake Powell in southern Utah. It is accessible only by a 50-mile 4wd road followed by 8 miles of hiking. I filmed this montage during 2 nights in April 2016 and 4 nights in April 2019. The water level during our 2019 visit was the second-lowest it has ever been, exceeded only by 2005, and this revealed the almostnever-seen "final S curve" of the canyon. In 2016, we saw zero other campers during the time we were there. In the ensuing years, it became popular on Instagram and other social media sites. In 2019, there were 10-20 people per night, almost all of whom were photographers. There was trash shoved under rocks and we found a pile of camping gear under a bush…

Unfortunately, as with many things in photography, there’s no ‘one size fits all’ answer! In this article, I’ll look at the factors to consider and hopefully help you to make the right decision for your needs. THE CAMERA BODY Your camera body essentially houses the controls that allow you to take digital photos. The body you shoot with is responsible for many things, but for the purposes of this article I’m talking…

When it comes to Moisés Rodríguez Pineda, his mantra is "less is better" and when you see his images you'll immediately understand why. He's niched down into an aspect of photography that you don’t see a lot of people doing and has really established himself as an authority in the black and white minimalist space. We've worked with Moisés over the years, featuring some of his images, and watched him progress and his portfolio grow. We felt it was time to share it with you. His work is stunning - we hope you agree. Photographic Speciality/Style: Mostly Black and White/Minimalism Short Bio: Hello, my name is Moisés Rodríguez Pineda. First of all, thanks for the interview and the space to contribute some of my work to the pages of “Photography…
