Snow cats. Flying cameras and world-class athletes. Couple-o-sunrises. One of the most unique locations I've found in my career (a coal mine?!) and a superfun campaign for one of the top mountain destinations in the world...here's behind the scenes for my most recent campaign to drop --> Aspen. This past March, you might have caught wind of my live updates while shooting the 2013-2014 campaign for my friends at Aspen/Snowmass ski resort. In...

PhotoWeek is 6 days of FREE, live instruction from over 50 of the photo industry's leading instructors. creativeLIVE Photo Week has pulled together some of the biggest names in commercial, outdoor and wedding photography and devoted THREE separate...

The dreaded rut. That feeling of being exhausted of your precious creative juice. How to break out? For me, a change my scenery -- specifically an amazing location for your photo or video shoot-- has always been the closest thing to a magic bullet that I've ever experienced. Sometimes this means shooting in a different studio, at an abandoned building, a trip to the mountains or, gasp, even that blown-out building on other side of...

We artists often suck at managing productions and budgets. We all have to get thru that stuff in the early days, but if you are numbers/manager challenged, my first piece of advice is bringing a producer into your shoots as soon as you can make it happen. That allows you to focus on your craft. Having said that, my staff producer Megan has had a ripping series of posts going on, including this one aimed...

Although I've mixed a whole lotta R/C helicopters into shoots, there are many more times in my profession when climbing into a real A-star is essential to get the shot. A recent assignment in the Caribbean presented another on of those lovely occasions...and while I've touched on shooting film + photos from a helicopter in some past posts, I've never gone deep on the how-to of shooting from a heli. And before you...

Apparently as a followup to my well-timed and very handy video I put out this week (check it), my favorite camera manufacturer today announced the launch of a new app. It's getting really slick my friendz. While you could control the Hero3 cameras with earlier version of the app (view - start -stop - etc) the newest version of the app allows you the same ability to control the camera, but you can...

This is a public service announcement that I think is valuable... I'm banking you know I'm co-founder over at creativeLIVE - where we've delivered more than 15 million viewer hours of creative education worldwide. (If you're new, here's stories about it in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, The Chicago Tribune, TechCrunch, AllThingsD, etc and stay tuned for my MSNBC segment coming in 2 weeks...)

I've been shooting religiously with GoPro cameras since they came out way back in the day. Love those little monsters. At a minimum, I travel with three or more Hero3's for any shoot - I've just found they just come in super-duper handy for all sortsa great stuff. BUT.... taking into account mounts, memory cards, chargers, spare batteries and all miscellany associated with the GoPro and you've got yourself quite a load of...

Quick share here..... a short while back I took my very first trip to Belize for what turned into a really, really (2 reallys - or now that's three) high value, pain-free shoot. I've been so very lucky to have shot in some of the most spectacular places in the world -- and just added Belize to that list. We banged out a fun BTS vid to share some of the splendor, but...
