studio explorations

studio explorations

Shooting in a studio environment allows you to really focus on the light and the subject as the background is a neutral constantly. This was my first time shooting in a studio and it was interesting to see the behaviour of light with the different backdrops. Found out I really like shooting on grey!

My couples rarely ask me what kind of gear do I use, but its a common discussion among photographers. The thing is, many photographers feel that gear matters very little in the grand scheme of creating great images and this is a sentiment that I share as well. An analogy I once read that does a good job of putting the importance of gear into perspective is this: If you have an amazing meal at a restaurant, you dont think; gee wiz, that chef must use some incredible pots and pans! It's the same idea with photography. With that said, I've got some pretty sweet pots and pans.

 year in review 2015

30 books read, 46 blog posts, and at least 83 separate occasions where I took out my camera tallies up the year. Instead of sharing an image from every time I took out my camera (like last year), I’m gonna instead share a few highlights and some thoughts behind them.
