In this video I will show how to create interesting photos using a tripod and long exposures: 1. Shoot at night and set up camera with a nice framing of building and cars passing by. 2. Make sure you are at F13 or above and around 5 to 10 seconds exposures. 3. With the same setting take at least 5 different photos with different car light streaks. 4. Retouch all the raw files in Lightroom for proper exposures. 5. Using the blending mode screen, levels and mask mix all the light streaks. Voila! ABOUT THE AUTHOR: I’m passionate about photography.

Studio portraiture is a genre with multiple possibilities, thanks to the huge amounts of lighting and accessories available on the market. It’s also a genre that can prove expensive, if you want to invest in all the kit! In this article, I’m going to look at 5 lighting setups that you can do on a budget, as they all use only one light and a small range of accessories. You can also watch the accompanying video to see all these lighting setups put into practice. EQUIPMENT First things first – you will need a camera that allows you to use full manual control. You need to be able to control your exposure triangle (ISO, shutter speed, aperture) at all times with studio work. A standard zoom lens will be fine…

As a portrait photographer working in Paris since 2012, I can attest to burnout. I was shooting weddings, couples, engagements, and private parties all over the city. Sometimes up to six photoshoots a day. What started as a dream job was soon becoming monotonous. You can only photograph a man proposing in front of the Eiffel Tower so many times before you start to question what you are doing anymore. I still love my job and appreciate every offer that comes my way, but I had to develop some new ways to inspire myself and spark new ideas so my work became joyful again. Here is a list of the top ways to keep your work fresh and innovative in any genre of photography. JOIN A PHOTOGRAPHY COMMUNITY I love…

Photographing traffic probably isn’t something that springs to mind when trying to think of creative photographic situations! But the light trails car lights produce at night can produce fantastic images and help you to experiment with long exposures and manual mode. In this masterclass I’ll teach you all about how to photograph traffic light trails, the equipment you’ll need and great locations to try out. Let’s get started. EQUIPMENT Whatever camera you’re using, it will need to be one that allows you to use manual mode. You need to be able to use a long exposure and set your shutter speed accordingly. You can use absolutely any lens for light trails but different focal lengths work well for different shots. A wide-angle lens is great for shooting from a high…

I had the beautiful opportunity to go on a life affirming, epic, 40,000+ photo, 2000 mile roadtrip to the Isle of Skye in May 2019; armed with 2 Canon 6D's, 7 lenses, a Syrp Genie 3 Axis Motion Controller, Insta360 OneX & P4P Pro. After first visiting in April the year before, where I was completely blown away by the place, and captured a few of the sequences, which appear in this film. However, I was determined to go back, see more, do more, and try to capture the magnificence that is Skye. I climbed my first Munro, pushed my limits with heights and fears, and captured a fraction of this large island. I drove and hiked more than 800 miles in 6 days to capture whatever the island threw…
