Shooting in that area of the world is something that I've always wanted to do - and it did not disappoint. To the contrary, it opened up my understanding of the rich possibilities in the Sub-Sahara. We were there for almost two weeks and barely scratched the surface.... read more ›

Emerging Talent: Eric Rose’s Raw, Intense Photography

Freckles on skin. The beauty of a clavicle, jutting through fragile epidermis. Long fingers clasped together. Skinned knees. Natural light, wafting across delicate features. The pure gorgeous intensity of being human - and Eric Rose somehow manages to catch them all with one well composed black and white photo. His photos have a sort of gritty dreaminess to them - you can't help but wonder about the eyes that peer back at you, the situation... read more ›

Best Photo Locations: Bushwick, Brooklyn

Before the last of the breweries closed its doors in 1976, Bushwick was known as the "beer capital of the Northeast." The collapse of the beer industry eroded the neighborhood's economic base, leaving a wealth of abandoned buildings. Click through the gallery tabs above to check it out some scouting shots.

I sat at the top of Signal Hill in Capetown, South Africa a few weeks ago to shoot some timelapse for a video project I'm working on. In the process, I... read more ›

Observing a Meth Lab & the Chemist: Breaking Bad POV – Part III [perspective]

If you like my earlier post on Quentin Tarantino's FROM BELOW perspective and Wes Anderson's well-known perspective of FROM ABOVE- check out another one of our favorite examples of perspective here in the studio: the work behind the series Breaking Bad. We all love this show. The camera work and directing is nothing short of brilliant - and these POV shots demonstrate myriad ways a director can introduce a setting, scene or sentiment. I'll be... read more ›

From Below: Comes Tarantino – Part I [perspective]

Perspective. I've mentioned it before. Shifting yours can impact your work substantially. As an example, I found this short piece highlighting the work of Quentin Tarantino. One of his favorite signature perspectives is from below. Fun to watch and just what the doctor ordered before the long weekend (for those of us here in the USA). Enjoy the time off if you have it - and if you're going to use it to create photos... read more ›
