A classic photo of Texas in your mind probably has certain elements included in the frame; things like a cowboy, maybe farmland, football, an oil derrick, or other idiosyncratic imagery.

You have your new camera and you’re ready to start taking some amazing images!

One of the key requirements for any photographer these days is in being able to capture photos that are different from what already exists. A more artistic way of doing is to take exquisite silhouette shots. But are there any tips and tricks for making sure that you get good ones? So, to avoid making […]
Over the years, I have worked as a professional photographer but also as a writer and editor. So, there have been plenty of times when I have had to either purchase or commission photography. This has also meant that I have had to check image quality before files are sent to print which is often […]
The Golden Triangle rule is a concept in photography that every good photographer should learn, as it will help set a solid foundation upon which great photos can be taken.

A true test of sportsmanship, boxing is a fantastic event that can yield many conceptually amazing images. Boxing is an art form; just ask anyone who has trained extensively to climb in the ring. Therefore, just like photography, boxing can be a form of expression. Trying to capture one art form with another, however, it […]
You might think that as a photographer, you do not want something in your image to be out of focus. Conceptually, it goes against everything a photographer should want in their final image. However, focus can be an important tool in getting creative shots and even better professional-quality images. In the case of achieving bokeh […]

Say the phrase “photo essay” and most photographers would nod that they fully understand what it is. But the last few months have shown me otherwise… I recently co-founded a brand new travel magazine called JRNY. We put out a pitch call for photo essays hopeful that we would be inundated with tons of great […]
People hate it when they need to squint to try and bring a photo into focus. No matter how tightly they press their eyes together, they’ll never be able to increase the resolution.

Red is red, green is green, and blue is blue. Right? Maybe not. The entire spectrum of colour as you see it on digital screens has been the source of contention among photographers for some time now. Since the mid-90s, how we perceive colour digitally has largely been defined by just one colour space, so […]
