Hey photo friends - Erik here. While I'm typically the video guy around these parts, I wanted to hop on the blog to quickly tell you about a piece of camera gear that I’ve been enjoying lately. I picked up a Tilt Transformer from Lensbaby about a month ago and it’s now a permanent piece of my walk-around photography kit. The Tilt Transformer allows you to mount your Nikon lenses to a Micro Four Thirds...

My homies over at Flavorwire ran a really cool gallery of cameras made out of unusual stuff--like trees, shells, and--like you see in the photo above, a turtle shell (no turtles were harmed in the making...only natural causes of death...)... Which got me thinking: cameras have been along so long, people have had the chance to do some really weird stuff with them. Though a lot of manufacturers might have you think differently, the body...

Are the fees or prices you're charging for your creative services too low? I bet they are. Try doubling the money. You have to deliver the goods, of course, but that's true in any work. Chances are that the clients you ditched needed ditching, the clients you carry forward and the new clients you land will pay those fees happily and will better understand the value you bring. And I'm guessing you'll be happier and...

Unless you've been living under a rock, we've all heard of the 365 day projects - where a photographer takes a photo of something in their life every day for a year. (You might also have been living under a rock if you missed my new "Emerging Talent" series announcement...). With 365 projects - not unlike new years resolutions - many start, few finish. One photographer, a young fellow named Alex Stoddard, not only finished...

This post should actually be called: "How People THINK Photographers Spend Their Time -VS- How They Actually Spend It -- it's not what you think and it's not too late". Come to think of it, perhaps I'll find an even better title... [Done.] Experience tells me that non-photographers, or amateur photographers often have an idyllic view of the life of a professional photographer.

3 weeks ago, I put the $150,000 Phantom Flex camera through its paces during an experimental fashion shoot with my good friend, director Will Hyde from Superfad. We had an absolute blast. We also had superhot female talent, an epic wardrobe, do-it-yourself solutions mixed with the highest end pro gear, and more than 50,000 watts of light. While the shoot went on for 6 hours, this here re-watch has been trimmed to include...
