Nobody tells you this about lighting.

Most people think better photos = more expensive gear. But the foundations of lighting… Distance, Direction, and Shape, matter way more than the gear in your bag. This clip is a small piece of a much deeper breakdown from my recent CreativeLive class.

Wireless tethering with and the R5mkii is as easy as 1️⃣2️⃣3️⃣

I may have added a few extra steps to this video because I wanted to show off my new AeroTrac table that I’m obsessed with, but seriously I take back everything I’ve ever said about wireless tethering. This new Gen 2 tethering is ⚡️ fast. Just watch to the end to see how fast my test shot transferred.

Also an added benefit is that I can just pull my laptop off my stand to do a quick test shot without dragging the cable with me.

If you’re wondering if I’m actually using this in my every day workflow, the answer is YES! I plan on making a longer video about how to make this workflow the best it can be, so if you have questions drop me a comment!

If you’re interested in learning more about lighting, comment LIGHT GUIDE, and I’ll send you my free e-book.

If you need new photos just comment BOOK NOW and I’ll reach out with next steps!

I’ve never been a photographer who poses subjects, I’ve always leaned more on communication and making someone feel comfortable rather than locking in the perfect pose.

This short clip from a recent client shoot shows me explaining my process to the client to try and get the most natural pose without any hassle.

Do you have any tips for working with clients who aren’t always comfortable in front of the camera? Drop them in the comments below. I want to steal your ideas 😜

Breaking down the long (and double) exposure shot I posted yesterday of yesterday.

I may have done this long exposure differently than most people, so watch til the end to see what I did.
