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...

If you like my earlier post on Quentin Tarantino's FROM BELOW perspective - check out another great director's work FROM ABOVE. Like Tarantino, Wes Anderson's movies are immediately identifiable. One of his signature perspectives is from above. I'll be featuring more of these pieces today. Stay tuned. ___________________________________ These exist thanks to the work of Kogonada.

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...

The work of Kindra Timmerwilke is a great example of commitment to craft. She's been following her passion for photography with diligence - despite having a day job. Based out of Seattle, she is a testament to what can happen if you put parts of your heart and soul into your photography. In the midst of a 365 days photo project (this simple concept is birthing creativity all over the world) we sat down with...

[First published shortly after Neil Armstong's death in August 2012] Neil Armstrong passed this weekend. I was sad to hear the news that the man who spoke those immortal words that inspired the world: "It's a small step for [a] man, a giant leap for mankind," had left us. He was a hero to many. President Obama said of his passing, "Neil Armstrong was a hero not just...

Art created for the sole intent of eliciting surprise and delight- often with anonymity - makes the world a more creative place. A story on NPR caught my eye yesterday - about a project that aims to help map these works on a global scale. I'm intrigued. I've explored the concept of social art on this blog and publicly many times. It's happening everywhere now. Creating an app...

There is a raw, metaphysical power in snapshots that cannot be denied. Throughout my career I have been hired or commissioned to create very specific technical photos. There are lights and crews and mechanics involved - and while it's incredibly creative - it's also complicated. There is a purity and undeniable power in a snapshot. I recently came across these stunning snapshots (via Flavorwire), spanning 50...

Prepare yourselves. The age of Reignwolf is upon us. After personally witnessing multiple insane performances by Jordan Cook, aka Reignwolf, that's the feeling I get. He's upon us - and brings a no-holds-barred guitar, soaks it in an electrocuting sweaty stage presence and then punches it home with the grittiest devil-may-actually-care voice and lyrics. Sometimes he plays with a band - other times, like in this clip, he's a one-man storm that showcases...

In a jet-lagged haze working abroad last week one of those reminder alarms hit my computer desktop while I was buried in some email that said, "Twit Photo 1pm". After a moment of confusion, I realized it was a leftover reminder from a year ago when I was interviewed by Leo Laporte and Catherine Hall as a part of their popular web photography show, Twit Photo. I meant to share it way back...
