A body in motion tends to stay in motion. I have such intense respect for dancers for their work ethic and their ability to create art with their bodies. I am always in awe!
These photos of the amazing Jillian Davis were captured during a Steve Vaccariello workshop at Unique Photo - Steve also happens to be our guest on next week’s episode of the podcast so be sure to tune in for that.

Stop scrolling! No, seriously - STOP SCROLLING! Take a break. Take a breath, and don’t “live” according to social media. In our latest episode of The Nerdy Photographer Podcast, I speak with about social media addiction, finding real community, and making things happen for yourself. Be sure to tune in and give those scrolling fingers a break.

“The photographs come at the end.” I swear needs to put that saying on merchandise. The pictures you take come after making the connection with your subject. You don’t just come in blasting away. This episode was a great exploration on truth in photography and building trust with your subjects. I highly recommend giving it a listen. There’s a link in the thing. You know where.

Who said DSLRs are outdated tech? A D5 just took some iconic images of the moon and Earth. “Older” gear is still good gear. Congrats to on a successful mission and some incredible photos!
