Podcast: No Fear of Flying - Women Drone Photographers

6 years ago

As an industry and as a hobby, the numbers indicate that drone flying and drone photography are still primarily the domain of men, but sustaining this disparity is ridiculous and it should and will change. Our two guests today are part of bringing about that change, and they do so by being good at their craft, by spreading the joy of flying, and teaching drone operation and photography to women…

Using a DSLR or Mirrorless Camera as a Webcam

6 years ago

Zoom, Hangouts, BlueJeans, Slack, and Teams. These are words that have taken on a whole new significance over the past few weeks. With so many of us now relying on livestreaming, video chat, and video conferences, the quality of connection and the quality of your image is increasingly important.

Podcast: Ray Collins - The Two Ingredients are Water and Light

6 years ago

Ray Collins’s portraits of waves are hard to describe because you don’t want to describe them. Like the wave itself, the photographic abstraction refuses words; indescribable and amorphous become unique and powerful in his hands. One look at his work and it’s clear that he is in his element in the surf, transforming what he knows so well into a profound and universal statement. We have been…

Inspiration to Process: Chelsea Kyle

6 years ago

One often thinks of inspiration as an epiphany, a cartoon lightning bolt that hits an artist, who then transforms this idea into a sharable gem. While that may indeed happen, inspiration genuinely comes as part of a working process, a process that can be arduous and often difficult to describe. When speaking with food and advertising photographer Chelsea Kyle…

Inspiration to Process: Karen Zusman

6 years ago

When we really dug into what motivates Karen Zusman to make photographs, her answer resonated more like a poem than an assertion: “I try to get invited inside.” Above photograph © Cory Rice I understood that phrase for its figurative value, although I’m sure the literal is just as important to her work. With just a quick look at her multi…

Teaching My Kids Photography: Smartphones to DSLRs

6 years ago

I love spending time with my kids, lots and lots of time. And while we are passing all of this time together, I thought I’d have a try at teaching them a little bit about photography. I don’t go into this endeavor with any illusions; they are probably going to end up teaching me. My kids were both born well after the year 2000 and, I’d argue, that alone puts their visual acumen far ahead of what…

Does the space in which you work affect the photography you create?
