I'm loving the photo related projects that are popping up on kickstarter these days. I get 4-5 emails per week from people promoting their projects. Some of them suck. Some are fun. Others are downright dope. So, as we usher in a new era of DIY gadgetry and attempt to discover a future slew of products that might help us photogs + directors, I'm going to try to regularly recommend some kickstarters that have a little...

It is, however, safe to say that those of us familiar with our cameras have started to realize that they are much more than megapixels + dynamic range.

His work is a great reminder that it doesn't matter what tools you use, it's all...

Superfun piece here. Reverse motion isn't a new technique by any stretch, but it doesn't need to be. Messe Kopp had a cool idea and executed it - turned out fun and cool. And above all, he went and CREATED something, versus sitting around talking about it. Great example of being creative on a low budget. #respect Check out more of Messe Kopp's stuff here: Facebook You tube The track is called "White Lies" by...

At 26 years old, Chris Burkard is living the dream of traveling around the world to shoot surfers in exotic places. He's been recognized for his work with some prestigious awards including a first place spot in the Red Bull Illume competition. His images are a complementary mix of being right in the action and being removed from it. At times the subject is a tiny speck in the grander landscape. Other times the camera...

Murad Osmann has put a really solid spin on the traditional "vacation album". Already picked up by HuffPo, Business insider, and the Daily Mail UK, I nearly didn't feature the work (not to mention the HDR tendency...), but I kept coming back to it for 3 reasons: 1. The concept is good. 2. The concept is simple. 3. We can all take note and learn something about executing good, simple concepts to create a body...
