Mark Hughes 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 […]
Join PHOTONews Canada photographer Will Prentice at The Camera Store for a high-energy, hands-on workshop focused on capturing skateboard and BMX action at full throttle. 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 […]
I’ve learned – usually the hard way – that the bag you choose can make or break a shoot long before you press the shutter. There are times where I carry everything: Two bodies, five lenses, a drone, filters, triggers and enough snacks for a small village … just in […]
©Elinchrome Whether you’re a portrait shooter, creative director or hybrid photo-video storyteller, lighting is where vision becomes reality. 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. Vanguard makes a range of tripods that balance weight, stability, versatility and ease of use and today we’re diving into four […]
Winter has a way of transforming the world into something quieter, softer and surprisingly photogenic. A dusting of fresh snow can turn even the most forgettable corners into scenes worth stopping for. And when the Christmas lights flick on – sparkling, shimmering, throwing colour across the snow – everything feels […]
Christmas has always felt like a season made for film photography. The glow of tree lights, the softness of snowfall and the slower rhythm of winter all seem to nudge us toward taking our time. Shooting film during the holidays feels almost ceremonial – load the roll, wind the lever […]
Congrats to Jay & Queena! Look at the background!! It almost doesn’t look real. When Laowa first dipped its toes into the autofocus pool with 10mm and 12mm ultrawide lenses, I scratched my head. Autofocus… for landscapes? Sure, why not. But now they’ve done something that makes perfect sense: they’ve […]
