There’s something incredibly freeing about shooting a film stock that almost invites chaos. One of my favourite ways to shoot film is to load it into a camera body (I have three Nikon film bodies) and then forget about it. Every once in a while, I’ll grab one of those […]
Dreaded glass glare! Recently, I had the pleasure (and mild cardio workout) of hosting an advanced portrait lighting workshop presented by broncolor Canada at Canadian Imaging – the annual gathering of the Professional Photographers of Canada where photographers come to learn, connect and occasionally nod confidently at lighting diagrams they’re still decoding internally. […]
I used to think I could use any USB cable to connect my camera to my computer. If it connected and didn’t immediately catch fire, it was good enough. Then I started to see the advantages of shooting tethered and decided to take it more seriously. I remember one commercial […]

This is where timing, light and instinct collide. You’ll learn how Will freezes fast-moving riders using both natural light and strobe – breaking down real-world […]

That’s why I’m genuinely excited about the Elinchrom THREE Portrait Kit – a lighting system that feels like it was engineered for photographers who think in light, not limitations. And the fact […]
© Kupo If you’ve ever unloaded cases in the dark, racing sunrise with lights, booms and cameras balanced on caffeine and hope, you already know this: good grip gear doesn’t just make life easier – it keeps the shoot moving. And when that gear is hard to find or a […]
I love the idea of being a fearless, handheld-everything photographer. My lenses have Image Stabilization and my new camera bodies have In-Body Image Stabilization (IBIS). Reality, however, has other plans. Some photographs simply do not exist without a tripod no matter how good IS/IBIS has become or how much coffee […]
When it comes to getting sharp, steady images – whether you’re shooting landscapes at dawn or portraits in low light – the tripod you choose becomes a creative partner.
