As someone who's been in photography for decades, I've seen many technological shifts, but none quite as rapid or transformative as what we're experiencing now. Recently, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Eric Yang, CEO of Topaz Labs, a company that's been quietly revolutionizing image enhancement through artificial intelligence. Here's the thing about AI in photography - it's not just about making bad photos good anymore. It's about expanding what's possible with the images we already have. As Eric and I discussed, we're at a fascinating intersection where traditional photography meets cutting-edge AI technology. One of the most interesting revelations from our conversation was how Topaz Labs approached AI implementation. Back in 2018, when they released Gigapixel AI, they faced significant skepticism. "People would call us liars," Eric shared, chuckling. "They would just not believe that you could do this." Fast forward to today, and AI-enhanced images are becoming the norm rather than the exception. What struck me most during our conversation was Eric's perspective on the future of photography. While many fear AI might replace traditional photography, he sees it as an enhancement rather than a replacement. "The level of image and video enhancement that you'll be able to get in the next year or so is going to be dramatically better than what you can get right now," he predicted. The most exciting part? Topaz Labs is working on bringing diffusion models - the same technology powering many generative AI tools - to video enhancement. This could be a game-changer for videographers and content creators who want to maximize the quality of their footage. About Eric Eric Yang co-founded Topaz Labs with his father Albert, initially naming the company after an item in the video game Diablo 2. Starting with Photoshop plugins, the company pivoted to AI-powered image enhancement in 2018. Under Eric's leadership, Topaz Labs has processed over 1 billion images and served more than 1 million paid customers.  Before focusing fully on Topaz, Eric worked at Snapdocs (valued at over $1B) and founded PhotoWhoa, a photography deals site. He's now leading Topaz Labs through its next phase of innovation in AI-powered image and video enhancement.

In a recent interview with Frederick Van Johnson, Kate Williams, the CEO of <a href="https://www.onepercentfortheplanet.org/">1% for the Planet</a>, shed light on how her organization has been a catalyst for businesses worldwide to take on this responsibility. The organization, co-founded by Patagonia’s Yvon Chouinard and Blue Ribbon Flies’ Craig Matthews, has grown into a global movement where companies commit 1% of their revenues to environmental causes. During the conversation, Kate explained that 1% for the Planet isn't just about writing checks. The core of their mission is to create a structured way for businesses to integrate giving into their DNA. Each year, companies donate 1% of their revenues (not profits, as revenues are a truer reflection of business success) directly to vetted environmental partners. It’s a model built on transparency, impact, and empowerment. A prime example of this collaborative effort is 1% for the Planet’s partnership with <a href="https://www.flickr.com/">Flickr</a>. Kate revealed how this relationship blossomed from a shared event, where Flickr was already contributing to environmental work. From there, Flickr quickly embraced the 1% model and has become a business member and key player, <a href="https://event.auctria.com/5250f8fa-8df9-4e71-8325-a6f673462ef4/a780d600ec2e11e9ae081db830846aa5?2bd25550ec3411e98fdeb3a273cf08d8%2Fgroup=0cfb4392-de37-4653-a936-3b9156f7ea3e&2bd25550ec3411e98fdeb3a273cf08d8%2FcurrentPage=0&2bd25550ec3411e98fdeb3a273cf08d8%2FselectedItem=6054281a-9073-4562-a641-93b1dd8fd939">even sponsoring an online auction</a> to raise funds for 1% for the Planet’s continued work. This auction features products and services donated by member businesses, with all proceeds going towards strengthening the organization’s ability to support more environmental partners globally. <a href="https://www.flickr.com/"></a> Kate also discussed the diversity of industries and companies involved in the movement, with members ranging from startups to billion-dollar enterprises across 64 different sectors. What unites them is a shared belief that investing in the planet is both the right thing to do and good for business. “Ultimately, any economy that we have for the long term can only survive and thrive on a planet that is thriving,” Kate said. <a href="https://www.onepercentfortheplanet.org"></a> This commitment is not just lip service—Kate and her team ensure that every company’s donation is certified annually, creating accountability and building trust among their members and the public. As 1% for the Planet grows, so does its impact. Kate shared the organization’s ambitious goal to hit $1 billion in lifetime certified giving and beyond, aiming to accelerate their influence with each passing year. For businesses like Flickr, this partnership is about more than just dollars—it’s a way to align their brand with meaningful environmental action, engage their communities, and play a role in creating a sustainable future. Kate’s message to businesses was clear: “Now is the time. Whether your 1% is large or small, it contributes to a larger collective that is creating real, measurable impact.” Through movements like 1% for the Planet, businesses are learning that being environmentally responsible is not only beneficial for the world but also for the health and longevity of their brand. By telling their stories and sharing their commitment, companies like Flickr are proving that it’s possible to be both success...]]></itunes:summary> <itunes:author>This Week in Photo</itunes:author> <itunes:image href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/TWiP_LOGO_2014_3000.jpg" /> <itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType> <itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit> <itunes:duration>44:47</itunes:duration> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">300953</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Speed Up Your SmugMug Uploads with Apple Shortcuts</title> <link>https://thisweekinphoto.com/speed-up-your-smugmug-uploads-with-apple-shortcuts/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=speed-up-your-smugmug-uploads-with-apple-shortcuts</link> <comments>https://thisweekinphoto.com/speed-up-your-smugmug-uploads-with-apple-shortcuts/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[This Week in Photo (TWiP)]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Mon, 28 Oct 2024 13:30:00 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[TWiP Podcast]]></category> <category><![CDATA[TWiP TALKS]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Smugmug]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://thisweekinphoto.com/?p=300930</guid> <description><![CDATA[A Demo the SmugMug iOS apps newest feature - Apple Shortcuts support!]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>https://thisweekinphoto.com/speed-up-your-smugmug-uploads-with-apple-shortcuts/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">300930</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Photoshop, and Moving Beyond AI – with Dave Cross</title> <link>https://thisweekinphoto.com/photoshop-and-moving-beyond-ai-with-dave-cross/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=photoshop-and-moving-beyond-ai-with-dave-cross</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[This Week in Photo (TWiP)]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 04 Oct 2024 22:19:45 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[TWiP Podcast]]></category> <category><![CDATA[TWiP TALKS]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Photoshop]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://thisweekinphoto.com/?p=300902</guid> <description><![CDATA[In the ever-evolving world of digital imaging, it's easy to get caught up in the latest features and AI-powered tools.

However, as I discovered in a recent conversation with Photoshop Hall of Famer Dave Cross,</itunes:subtitle> <itunes:summary><![CDATA[ In the ever-evolving world of digital imaging, it's easy to get caught up in the latest features and AI-powered tools. However, as I discovered in a recent conversation with Photoshop Hall of Famer Dave Cross, the key to true Photoshop mastery lies in a rock-solid understanding of the fundamentals. Dave Cross, with over 34 years of experience teaching Adobe software, brings a unique perspective to the table. As an Adobe Certified Instructor, Certified Technical Trainer, and three-time Adobe MAX Master Instructor, Dave has witnessed firsthand the evolution of Photoshop from its early days to its current AI-enhanced incarnation. Dave continues to lead Photoshop education via his wildly popular <a href="https://fvj.me/pssummit">Photoshop Virtual Summit</a>, we discuss the how's and why's of this virtual conference, and the benefits of time-shifted distance learning. About Dave Cross https://youtu.be/pBs-P3gmXZk The Power of Foundational Knowledge "The fundamentals of Photoshop are like the grammar of a language," Dave explained. "You can use translation tools, but to truly communicate, you need to understand the underlying structure." This analogy perfectly encapsulates why mastering the basics remains crucial, even as Photoshop introduces more automated features. Dave emphasized that a strong foundation in areas like layers, masks, and selections not only enhances creativity but also problem-solving skills. "When you understand how Photoshop 'thinks,'" he noted, "you can approach any task with confidence, whether you're using the latest AI tool or a technique that's been around for decades." Balancing Automation and Manual Control One of the most interesting parts of our discussion centered on the balance between embracing new technologies and maintaining manual skills. Dave shared an anecdote from his teaching experience: "I once had a student who relied heavily on AI-powered selection tools. When faced with a complex image where the AI struggled, they were at a loss. But another student, who had mastered manual selection techniques, quickly solved the problem." This story illustrates a crucial point: while AI and automation can be incredibly useful, they're most powerful when complementing a solid skill set, not replacing it. The Evolving Landscape of Photoshop Education As someone who has taught at prestigious events like Photoshop World, Adobe MAX, and Imaging USA, Dave has a unique perspective on how Photoshop education has changed. He noted that while online resources have made learning more accessible, they've also created a challenge: "There's so much information out there, it can be overwhelming. The key is to focus on building a strong foundation first, then expanding from there." This philosophy is reflected in Dave's approach to the Photoshop Virtual Summits he's been running since 2020. These events offer free classes from world-class instructors, emphasizing both fundamental skills and cutting-edge techniques. <a href="https://fvj.me/pssummit"></a> Looking to the Future As our conversation drew to a close, I asked Dave about the future of Photoshop and digital imaging. His response was both exciting and grounding: "The tools will continue to evolve, and that's fantastic. But the principles of good design, effective editing, and creative problem-solving – those are timeless.]]></itunes:summary> <itunes:author>This Week in Photo</itunes:author> <itunes:image href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/TWiP_LOGO_2014_3000.jpg" /> <itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType> <itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit> <itunes:duration>1:11:04</itunes:duration> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">300902</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Snap the Wild and Win: Join the Public Lands Photography Challenge</title> <link>https://thisweekinphoto.com/snap-the-wild-and-win-join-the-public-lands-photography-challenge/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=snap-the-wild-and-win-join-the-public-lands-photography-challenge</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[This Week in Photo (TWiP)]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Mon, 19 Aug 2024 19:35:25 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Events]]></category> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[TWiP Podcast]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://thisweekinphoto.com/?p=300870</guid> <description><![CDATA[Hey TWiP Community, I’ve got some exciting news to share!

Matt has an intriguing background, initially dreaming of becoming a pilot, which he pursued, allowing him the privilege of traveling the world. His journeys fueled a growing curiosity about diverse cultures and sparked his interest in photography as a means to capture the beauty and uniqueness he encountered. Matt's photography journey began with a simple fascination for gadgets, evolving into a deeper engagement with the art form after attending a workshop that profoundly impacted his understanding of light and composition. Throughout the interview, Matt emphasized the importance of respect and empathy in photography, particularly when interacting with different cultures and environments. IG: <a href="http://www.instagram.com/mattyj_ay">http://www.instagram.com/mattyj_ay</a>Site: <a href="http://www.mattjacobphotography.com">http://www.mattjacobphotography.com</a> A few key takeaways from our discussion: Matt Jacob * Matt's approach to immersing himself in new cultures and building trust with his subjects before photographing them is admirable. He emphasizes the importance of empathy and patience when working in unfamiliar environments. * Matt's preference for using a single prime lens, often a medium format camera, and minimal lighting gear reflects his intentional and deliberate photographic style. He values the creative constraints of working with a limited setup. * The planning and research Matt does before embarking on a new photography project is extensive. From creating detailed mood boards to coordinating with local fixers, he leaves nothing to chance when telling a visual story. * Matt's podcast, "The Mood Podcast," serves as an outlet for him to connect with and learn from other photographers. He sees it as a selfish endeavor, but one that also benefits his audience by providing unique insights into the creative process. * Matt's openness to experimenting with new technologies, like generative AI, while maintaining a traditional approach to his core photography work, demonstrates his adaptability and forward-thinking mindset. This interview provided a fascinating glimpse into the mind of a thoughtful and intentional photographer who is driven by a deep respect for the cultures and people he documents through his lens. About Matt Jacob, in his own words... "As a photographic artist I specialize in capturing the evocative, dynamic, and complex lives of specific subjects. With a focus on authentically encapsulating a moment from all metaphorical angles within a photograph, and a story over a collection, I have dedicated my passion and skills to truly understanding the essence of different perspectives, as well as the ‘why’ behind different forms of human nature. My journey began as a boy with a disposable camera and a dream to become a pilot, and these two things would eventually culminate into reality. My outlook on life changed when I was diagnosed with cancer at a young age, and it was during this time in my life that I understood what it meant to be truly alive - it was about just a series of moments; watching, understanding and creating snapshots that will stand the test of time. Naturally, my love for photography was cemented." <a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/MJP-Bajau-Online-0000050-copy.jpg"></a> <a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/MJP-Bajau-Online-0000646-copy.]]></itunes:summary> <itunes:author>This Week in Photo</itunes:author> <itunes:image href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/TWiP_LOGO_2014_3000.jpg" /> <itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType> <itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit> <itunes:duration>55:25</itunes:duration> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">300526</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Exploring AI’s Focus on Photography</title> <link>https://thisweekinphoto.com/exploring-ais-focus-on-photography/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=exploring-ais-focus-on-photography</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Frederick Van]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 26 Apr 2024 23:12:42 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[TWiP Podcast]]></category> <category><![CDATA[TWiP TALKS]]></category> <category><![CDATA[AI]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Artificial Intelligence]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Sharky James]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://thisweekinphoto.com/?p=300491</guid> <description><![CDATA[Mike "Sharky" James explores the complex relationship between artificial intelligence and the world of photography.]]></description> <enclosure url="https://media.blubrry.com/thisweekinphoto/content.blubrry.com/thisweekinphoto/Sharky_James_edit2.mp3" length="69053606" type="audio/mpeg" /> <itunes:subtitle>Mike "Sharky" James explores the complex relationship between artificial intelligence and the world of photography.</itunes:subtitle> <itunes:summary><![CDATA[ In this thought-provoking episode I sit down with veteran podcaster Mike "Sharky" James to explore the complex relationship between artificial intelligence and the world of photography.

Each of the films I create is unique. They reflect the people and subjects I chase and document worldwide. And although the environments and stories may vary, there is always a constant passion. Passion for what they do, who they are, or what they value. I try to capture that.  My style incorporates a cinematic feel with a sense of movement, pace, and unique perspective. This approach enhances the story by creating a feeling, a mood, or an experience.” About Alastair Jolly: Alastair Jolly “I have been in the photography industry for over 20 years. Although I specialized in social and commercial photography throughout my professional career, I have always managed to find time to capture imagery for my own enjoyment and creativity. I find my creativity pulls me in different directions frequently while photographing.  I am as happy photographing long-exposure sea and cityscapes as I am in the middle of a vast landscape or, indeed, on a Photowalk around a city. Now with my roles at SmugMug & Flickr, I am very fortunate to travel frequently, work with the best photographers in the world, and always find time for just me and my camera.” Check out SmugMug films:<a href="http://www.smugmug.com/films" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://www.smugmug.com/films</a> ]]></itunes:summary> <itunes:author>This Week in Photo</itunes:author> <itunes:image href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/TWiP_LOGO_2014_3000.jpg" /> <itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType> <itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit> <itunes:duration>36:22</itunes:duration> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">300456</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Optimizing Digital Storage Strategies for Creatives — with Architectural Photographer Jeffrey Totaro</title> <link>https://thisweekinphoto.com/encore-maximizing-digital-storage-for-creatives/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=encore-maximizing-digital-storage-for-creatives</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Frederick Van]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Thu, 04 Apr 2024 22:23:59 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[TWiP Podcast]]></category> <category><![CDATA[TWiP TALKS]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Architectural Photography]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Digital Asset Management]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Storage]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://thisweekinphoto.com/?p=300439</guid> <description><![CDATA[Dive into the complexities of digital storage solutions with renown architectural photographer Jeffrey Totaro.]]></description> <enclosure url="https://media.blubrry.com/thisweekinphoto/content.blubrry.com/thisweekinphoto/Jeffrey_Totaro_Storage_RERUN.mp3" length="5242880" type="audio/mpeg" /> <itunes:subtitle>Dive into the complexities of digital storage solutions with renown architectural photographer Jeffrey Totaro.</itunes:subtitle> <itunes:summary><![CDATA[ In this encore replay, my friend, Jeffrey Totaro, an architectural photographer, joined the show to share his journey and the lessons learned in crafting a robust storage and backup system for his work. Jeffrey's insight is particularly valuable because he navigated through the complexities of digital storage, ensuring his valuable work and client projects are secured against potential data loss. Throughout our conversation, Jeffrey highlighted his transition from traditional storage methods, like burning DVDs and using external hard drives, to adopting a sophisticated network-attached storage (NAS) solution. His experience underscores not just the evolution of digital storage over the years but also the importance of having a reliable system that can grow with one's needs. We discussed his early days of dealing with limited storage options, the eventual shift to Drobo systems, and finally, his current setup using Synology units. This journey is a testament to the need for adaptability and foresight in managing digital assets. Key points from our discussion include: * The challenges of managing and storing digital files have evolved significantly, from burning DVDs to sophisticated NAS systems. * Jeffrey transitioned through various storage solutions, including Drobos, before settling on a Synology NAS system, illustrating the importance of a scalable and reliable storage setup. * The setup involves multiple Synology units, including an off-site backup solution, highlighting the critical need for redundancy in data storage. * Network-attached storage (NAS) offers greater flexibility and access compared to direct-attached storage (DAS), a crucial consideration for creative professionals managing large volumes of digital assets. * Jeffrey's approach to data storage emphasizes the significance of a well-thought-out backup strategy, incorporating both on-site and off-site backups to safeguard against data loss. * The discussion also touched on the practical aspects of implementing such a system, including the use of 10 gigabit Ethernet for faster data transfer and the integration of UPS systems for data protection during power outages. This conversation not only sheds light on the technical aspects of digital storage but also underscores the importance of being proactive and meticulous in protecting our digital creations.

In this encore presentation, we're rejoining the incredible world of macro photography with none other than Don Komarechka, a master of the unseen and the overlooked wonders of the natural world. Based in Barrie, Ontario, Don has carved a unique niche in photography, revealing the intricate beauty of subjects as small as snowflakes and as vast as the night sky. His work is not just about capturing images; it's about storytelling and exploring the universe in ways our eyes can't perceive on their own. So, sit back, relax, and let's re-explore the microscopic with Don Komarechka. <a href="https://www.donkom.ca/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.donkom.ca</a> <a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/DKP7773-1200x1200.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/DKP1762-1200x780.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/DKP1630-1200x695.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/DKP1371-1200x1200.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/DKP1310-1200x800.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/DKP0244-1200x832.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/DKP0219-1200x800.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/DKP_5468-1200x743.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/mar4-snowflake93.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/1d4-snowflake162.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/beautiful-mystery2.jpg"></a> About Don Komarechka Don Komarechka is a renowned macro and nature photographer hailing from Barrie, Ontario, Canada. His photographic journey is a testament to the unseen beauty of the natural world, capturing everything from the ethereal glow of auroras to the intricate details of pollen and insects. Don's work is a celebration of the universe's hidden wonders, offering a glimpse into what lies beyond the reach of our unaided vision. With a passion for exploring and understanding the world, Don has gained notoriety for his meticulous attention to detail and ability to unravel nature's mysteries through his lens. His first mass-produced book, "Sky Crystals," intricately examines the complexities of snowflakes, revealing a world of beauty and symmetry that often goes unnoticed. Don's contributions to the realm of photography extend far beyond his stunning images. He is an educator and mentor, teaching workshops in nature, macro photography, photographic editing, and creative compositions. His philosophy that photography allows us to share our unique view of the world without words is deeply embedded in his teaching approach. His work has not only captivated audiences but has also garnered the attention of prestigious organizations. The Royal Canadian Mint featured one of his snowflake images on a limited-edition silver coin, and his imagery has been integral to documentaries by the BBC and Discovery Channel, showcasing his expertise in macro photography and focus stacking techniques. Untrained in science but driven by scientific curiosity, Don continually pushes the boundaries of modern camera technology and the physical limitations of light itself. His goal is to produce visually stunning images that encourage viewers to re-evaluate and appreciate the world around them in new ways.

This exploration is not just for professional photographers looking to offer something special to their clients but also for anyone who loves capturing life's moments and wants to share that joy with others. The Essence of Photography as a Gift Photography is an art form that freezes moments in time, encapsulating emotions and stories within a frame. These captured moments can become the most personal and cherished gifts. Unlike mass-produced items, a photograph you've taken carries a piece of your perspective, your emotions, and your story. It's a gift that says, "I was thinking of you, and here's a moment I feel you would cherish." For Professional Photographers: Beyond the Lens If you're a professional photographer, you already understand the joy of capturing significant moments for your clients. But think about the potential of extending that joy. Imagine presenting a beautifully framed print from a wedding shoot on the couple's first anniversary or a custom photo album to new parents chronicling the first year of their baby's life. These thoughtful gestures deepen the client-photographer relationship and often become treasured keepsakes that outlive the fleeting nature of digital photographs. For Photography Enthusiasts: Sharing Your World You don't have to be a professional to use photography as a medium for heartwarming gifts. If you love capturing the beauty around you, consider how those images can be shared as thoughtful gifts. A landscape shot from a memorable hike, a candid snapshot at a family reunion, or a perfect sunset at a favorite vacation spot can be more meaningful than any store-bought gift. It's about sharing a piece of your world and experiences with someone else in a tangible, lasting way.

With over 12 years of marketing experience (and over 20 years of professional experience), I thoroughly enjoy all aspects of marketing, from managing robust go-to-market campaigns to developing organic and paid content strategies to conducting comprehensive market research via user interviews and customer avatar creation. I’ve been very fortunate to build and lead several multinational marketing teams, and I am also as comfortable getting into the weeds with tactical tasks whenever needed. On a more personal note, I am an avid photo educator in my pastime, having spent over 15 years creating an extensive library of written and video content to help photo enthusiasts. My work has been published in numerous publications, and I've built several courses where students can improve their photography knowledge in a gamified environment."

In this discussion and demo, dive into the rich history of High-Dynamic Range (aka HDR) photography and explore Adobe's incredible new tools that help you bring it to life. But do you have the right tools to create HDR? And, if so, can the masses even view this new evolution in color? Let's find out as we discuss the REBIRTH of HDR! <a href="https://gregbenzphotography.com/hdr/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="">Greg's HDR Post</a> About Greg Benz (...in his own words.) Greg Benz I got hooked on photography in 2000, when I lived in London for six months, and have been obsessed ever since. I call Minneapolis home these days, but I continue to travel the world in search of incredible cityscapes and landscapes. My goal is to create art and connect with other photographers to share the vision, tools, and techniques behind my work. I don’t believe I’ve ever found a camera that automatically captures the beauty of the world I see, so I use Lightroom, Photoshop, luminosity masking, or HDR for nearly all of my images. These topics can seem intimidating, so I aim to help simplify them through the tools and tutorials I share on my site. In response to many questions I’ve received, I’ve created a page about the <a href="https://gregbenzphotography.com/camera-equipment/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="">photography equipment I use and recommend</a>. Whether you are a new fan or an old friend, please comment or drop me a line; I appreciate the feedback.

The Under the Pencil EventNovember 5th, 20232-5 PM PST<a href="https://www.bivouaccider.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="">Bivouac Ciderworks</a>3980 30th StreetSan Diego, CA 92104 <a href="https://www.ericarobinsonphoto.com/Under-the-Pencil-Cancer-Project" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"></a> About Erica Robinson (from her "About" page): I won't write this out like a dating profile or write some perfect euphoric poem expressed on every Instagram post you see. But what I will tell you is that my life is in pictures. I travel around the US as a National Technical Representative and worldwide for my soul. I am most fulfilled when passing along my knowledge and experiences through images, seminars, and workshops. I hope one little tip or story will encourage you to explore, dare dance with a stranger, or inspire a new challenge in your photography and travel journey. Because this is an "about me" after all, when I’m not behind the camera, you can find me lifting heavy things, spending money at REI, attempting to learn Bachata, solving humanity's most significant problems in my head, admiring those who speak multiple languages, and creating a life on two coasts. <a href="https://www.ericarobinsonphoto.com/Under-the-Pencil-Cancer-Project">https://www.ericarobinsonphoto.com/Under-the-Pencil-Cancer-Project</a> <a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/UTP_AdrianaHuerta_DSC_7432-799x1200.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/UTP_AleahLaflair_DSC_7144-799x1200.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/UTP_AnuschkaAlborzian_DSCF2239-800x1200.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/UTP_EricaRobinson-800x1200.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/UTP_HannahChapman_DSC_7643-799x1200.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/UTP_JaideOrtega_DSC_7383-799x1200.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/UTP_JanetMeza_DSC_6962-799x1200.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/UTP_KatTolentino_IMG_3521-799x1200.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/UTP_KristianBayan_RAF0897-800x1200.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/UTP_NicoleConge_DSC_7015-938x1200.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/UTP_SandraCuritore_DSC_7821-799x1200.jpg"></a> ]]></itunes:summary> <itunes:author>This Week in Photo</itunes:author> <itunes:image href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/TWiP_LOGO_2014_3000.jpg" /> <itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType> <itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit> <itunes:duration>1:05:34</itunes:duration> <podcast:transcript url="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Erica_Robinson.txt" type="text/plain" rel="captions" /> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">299858</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Capturing Community: Exposing the World of Photography Clubs – ep 820</title> <link>https://thisweekinphoto.com/photography-clubs/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=photography-clubs</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Frederick Van]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Thu, 12 Oct 2023 21:44:14 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[TWiP Podcast]]></category> <category><![CDATA[TWiP TALKS]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Photography Clubs]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://thisweekinphoto.com/?p=299816</guid> <description><![CDATA[Delve into the captivating world of photography clubs with our special guests, Jessica Villia and Michael Ryno.]]></description> <enclosure url="https://media.blubrry.com/thisweekinphoto/content.blubrry.com/thisweekinphoto/Jessica_Villia_Michae_Ryno-Photo_Clubs.mp3" length="76959304" type="audio/mpeg" /> <itunes:subtitle>Delve into the captivating world of photography clubs with our special guests, Jessica Villia and Michael Ryno.</itunes:subtitle> <itunes:summary><![CDATA[ In this episode of This Week in Photo, join us as we delve into the captivating world of photography clubs with our special guests, Jessica Villia and Michael Ryno.

The video editing industry is undergoing a seismic shift thanks to the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI). This transformative technology is both a boon and a challenge, offering a new paradigm of possibilities while raising questions about the future of human creativity in the field. AI in Video Production: A Double-Edged Sword? AI's integration into video production tools has sparked a debate. While some believe it simplifies the process, others argue it might overcomplicate or even dilute the essence of editing. Tools like Pictory stand out, offering automatic video assembly directly from scripts. Meanwhile, ElevenLabs showcases the potential of AI in voice generation, producing eerily accurate narrations. The Future of Non-Linear Editing (NLE) Systems: Traditional stalwarts like Final Cut Pro and Davinci Resolve face an uncertain future. With the rise of browser-based tools, the question arises: Are these the successors of conventional NLEs? Moreover, platforms like Canva and Adobe Express challenge the dominance of traditional systems, potentially relegating them to the background. Picks of the Week: In a nod to the evolving tools, Frederick highlighted <a href="http://fvj.me/pictory" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="">Pictory.com</a>, emphasizing its innovative approach. On the other hand, Alastair showcased the <a href="https://www.nikonusa.com/en/nikon-products/product/mirrorless-lenses/nikkor-z-135mm-f%252f1.8-s-plena.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="">Nikon 135 f1.8 Plena lens</a>, a testament to the ever-evolving hardware that complements the software side of the industry. The industry stands at a crossroads as AI continues to weave its way into video editing. The balance between human creativity and technological efficiency will determine its direction in the coming years.

Frederick Van Johnson here, your host of the TWiP podcast. For those who are just tuning in or need a little reminder, our mission here at TWiP is simple: We aim to inform, educate, and inspire photographers worldwide. And guess what? I've been doing that for over a decade! Valérie Jardin With hundreds of episodes in the "vault," there's a wealth of content most people may not have checked out yet. So, to help surface that untapped gold, I'm deploying a new publishing schedule! It'll go like this… every Tuesday, I'll release a fresh new episode; depending on the subject, it may be pre-recorded content or a livestream. And on Thursday, I'll share one of my all-time favorite episodes from the TWiP vault. Those episodes will be streamed and added to the podcast feed. So, if you're already subscribed, there's nothing more to do. If you're NOT, I suggest you subscribe to the podcast and/or the YouTube channel ASAP. Before I roll the very first TWiP "Rerun," I just want to take a moment to say thank you. Thank you for being a loyal subscriber, and stay tuned for more awesome changes coming to TWiP! Now, on to the Rerun… Earlier this year, I sat down with Valerie Jardin, an incredibly talented street photographer. We hadn't had a proper catch-up in over a year, and we thought, 'Why not do it live, right here on the podcast?' So sit back, relax, and enjoy this first TWiP Rerun - a conversation about Street photography with Valerie Jardin. <a href="http://www.valeriejardin.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://www.valeriejardin.com</a> About Valérie, in her own words… Photography changed my life. The day I picked up a camera, I became a storyteller. I learned to see the extraordinary in everyday life. And my passion for documenting humankind has led me to find beauty in the most unlikely places. As a visual storyteller, photographic images are how I tell these stories. Chasing light is my desire, my obsession, my addiction. <a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Valerie-Jardin-©Valérie-Jardin-street-2-1200x800.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Valerie-Jardin-©Valérie-Jardin-street-1-800x1200.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Valerie-Jardin-©Valérie-Jardin-On-Ice-3.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Valerie-Jardin-©Valérie-Jardin-On-Ice-2.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Valerie-Jardin-©Valérie-Jardin-On-Ice-1.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Valerie-Jardin-©Valérie-Jardin-night-2-1200x800.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Valerie-Jardin-©Valérie-Jardin-Humor-Berlin-1.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Valerie-Jardin-©Valérie-Jardin-hands-2-1200x800.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Valerie-Jardin-©Valérie-Jardin-birds-1-1200x800.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Valerie-Jardin_WORDPRESS-1200x675.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Valerie-Jardin-©Valérie-Jardin-Valerie-1-1200x800.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Valerie-Jardin-©Valérie-Jardin-street-2-1200x800.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Valerie-Jardin-©Valérie-Jardin-street-1-800x1200.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Valerie-Jardin-©Valérie-Jardin-On-Ice-3.]]></itunes:summary> <itunes:author>This Week in Photo</itunes:author> <itunes:image href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/TWiP_LOGO_2014_3000.jpg" /> <itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType> <itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit> <itunes:duration>49:26</itunes:duration> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">299712</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Get a “Handle” on the Future!</title> <link>https://thisweekinphoto.com/get-a-handle-on-the-future/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=get-a-handle-on-the-future</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Frederick Van]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 29 Aug 2023 18:25:20 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[TWiP Podcast]]></category> <category><![CDATA[TWiP TALKS]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Larry Tiefenbrunn]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Platypod]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Travel Photography]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://thisweekinphoto.com/?p=299653</guid> <description><![CDATA[Larry Tiefenbrunn unveils Platypod's latest tool to revolutionize how photographers manage their camera and lighting equipment. ]]></description> <enclosure url="https://media.blubrry.com/thisweekinphoto/content.blubrry.com/thisweekinphoto/Larry_Tiefenbrunn_Platypod.mp3" length="5242880" type="audio/mpeg" /> <itunes:subtitle>Larry Tiefenbrunn unveils Platypod's latest tool to revolutionize how photographers manage their camera and lighting equipment.</itunes:subtitle> <itunes:summary><![CDATA[ Dive into photography tool innovation with Larry Tiefenbrunn, the visionary founder of Platypod.

Lightweight and highly portable, take Platypod everywhere to expand your creative potential. About Larry Tiefenbrunn: I first got into photography at age 15 by reading the popular magazines at that time, Petersen’s Photographic, Photo, and Popular Photography. First Camera: Konica T3. As a teenager, I attended a Nikon school seminar and a master darkroom photography course at the New School in NYC. I developed black and white in a walk-in closet on the west side of Manhattan back in the 70s. The Platypod idea came about in 2014. After schlepping a tripod 1000 feet into Bryce Canyon and back up, I decided there had to be a better way. Although I had tried several mini tripods, there was none sturdy enough or compact enough to make it worthwhile packing into my bag and displacing a badly needed lens or flash. I searched high and low for a flat tripod option and came up empty. One night, I woke up early and had this idea in my head of a small, lightweight aluminum plate with an embedded Titanium bolt that would require no tools, and the rest is history. We have had five successful Kickstarter campaigns, first for Platypod Max, then Platypod Ultra/Multi accessory kit, and the Platyball Elite/Ergo over 2200 backers! Our company has an outstanding marketing team in Skip Cohen and Eryka Bagwell and a fantastic manufacturing group via AmTech International based in New Jersey. Together with our engineering team, we have several groundbreaking products in the pipeline. We launched another Kickstarter in April 2022 for the Platypod eXtreme and April-May 2023 for the new Platypod Handle. Our blog site will show how we have had incredible support from the entire photography community. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxUwIQp2J6k https://youtu.be/EVeZSmxYAAI?si=fcDTWABd9U_t64hz ]]></itunes:summary> <itunes:author>This Week in Photo</itunes:author> <itunes:image href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/TWiP_LOGO_2014_3000.jpg" /> <itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType> <itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">299653</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Video Editing in the Cloud, with Scenery.video</title> <link>https://thisweekinphoto.com/video-editing-in-the-cloud-with-scenery-video/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=video-editing-in-the-cloud-with-scenery-video</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Frederick Van]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 22 Aug 2023 18:48:45 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[TWiP Podcast]]></category> <category><![CDATA[TWiP TALKS]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Saas]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Scenery.video]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Software Demo]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Video Editing]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://thisweekinphoto.com/?p=299642</guid> <description><![CDATA[I sit down with Liza Kraff, Community Manager at Scenery.video, to discuss the cutting-edge world of cloud-based video editing.]]></description> <enclosure url="https://media.blubrry.com/thisweekinphoto/content.blubrry.com/thisweekinphoto/Liza_Kraff_INTERVIEW.mp3" length="56773256" type="audio/mpeg" /> <itunes:subtitle>I sit down with Liza Kraff, Community Manager at Scenery.video, to discuss the cutting-edge world of cloud-based video editing.</itunes:subtitle> <itunes:summary><![CDATA[ In this first part of our two-part series, I sit down with Liza Kraff, Community Manager at <a href="https://scenery.video/hello?utm_campaign=twip&utm_medium=podcast" title="">Scenery.video</a>, to discuss the cutting-edge world of cloud-based video editing.

The conversion covers a variety of AI and automation tools and how they threaten or enhance current mainstream photography tools, including some you may not realize already play a role in your photography life. About Scott: Scott Wyden Kivowitz, a father, blogger, photographer, and content creator, hails from Monmouth County, New Jersey. As a child, he perceived three obstacles that seemingly impeded his pursuit of dreams. Firstly, he is color-blind, which often leads to color mismatches in his clothing and other aspects of his life. During his photography studies in college, he depended on his professors' aid while printing in the darkroom. Nowadays, he leans heavily on color correction and precision tools to ensure accurate hues in his work. His wife also provides valuable assistance in this area. In his final year of high school, Kivowitz learned he was dyslexic, a revelation that clarified many past struggles. Despite this, he successfully earns his living by creating photos, videos, or text content. To mitigate any potential errors stemming from his dyslexia, he utilizes grammar and spelling tools like Grammarly. The third challenge he faced was persistent bullying throughout high school, significantly impacting his social abilities and self-confidence.

The Weekly 50 features a new photo every Wednesday, accompanied by audio and written commentary, providing viewers with a chronicle of Ringsmuth's journey in photography. The Weekly 50: A Chronicle of a Photographer's Journey Simon Ringsmuth The Weekly 50 is a testament to Ringsmuth's personal growth in photography. The project's name is a nod to the 50mm lens that Ringsmuth exclusively used for several years. Ringsmuth candidly shares his experiences, experiments, and mistakes, emphasizing the importance of accountability in his photography journey. He encourages other photographers to embrace their learning experiences, even if they result in photos they might initially be embarrassed about. The Role of Flickr in The Weekly 50 A significant part of the discussion revolved around the role of <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="http://www.flickr.com" target="_blank">Flickr</a> in powering The Weekly 50. Ringsmuth praises Flickr for its modern underpinnings, reliability, and control over image layout and display. He appreciates how easily he can integrate Flickr with his self-hosted WordPress installation and the maximum control Flickr provides when embedding shots in his blog. Ringsmuth also addresses the negative brand equity and stigma associated with Flickr. Still, he believes that if someone were to design a platform for photographers today, it would probably end up being similar to Flickr. He previously used Instagram but got tired of the competition for likes and crafting perfect pictures. He appreciates Flickr because it allows photographers to engage on a deeper level and learn from each other's techniques and gear. Flickr: A Social Network for Photographers Ringsmuth describes Flickr as a social network for photographers where users can share and comment on photos, join groups, and access advanced features. He compares Flickr to other platforms like Facebook and Instagram, noting that while Instagram was once a haven for photographers, it has shifted towards video content and relies on hashtags for community interaction. Ringsmuth encourages listeners to use Flickr, a platform for sharing photos within communities with specific topics and rules. He suggests exploring the diversity of genres and groups on Flickr and creating one's group. The Future of The Weekly 50 Ringsmuth hopes to continue engaging with the community and doing the same thing in five to ten years. He warns against photographers getting too excited and taking on too much, as it can lead to burnout and neglect of other responsibilities. He believes that sticking to a basic idea, such as one photo a week with audio and text commentary, is enough to maintain the essence of his project without causing undue stress. Conclusion The conversation ends with Ringsmuth expressing his love for Star Trek and recommending the latest season of Picard. He encourages others to use Flickr and expresses his belief in the platform. For those interested in following Ringsmuth's work and engaging with the photography community, he recommends visiting weeklyfifty.com, which includes links to his Instagram, Flickr, and YouTube accounts and a contact form. The podcast episode provides a fascinating insight into one photographer's journey and the power of a platform like Flickr in fostering a vibrant photography community. It's a must-listen for anyone interested in photography, whether you're a seasoned professional or a begin...]]></itunes:summary> <itunes:author>This Week in Photo</itunes:author> <itunes:image href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/TWiP_LOGO_2014_3000.jpg" /> <itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType> <itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit> <itunes:duration>44:03</itunes:duration> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">299276</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Exploring the Nikon Z8: A Look at Nikon’s Newest Camera!</title> <link>https://thisweekinphoto.com/exploring-the-nikon-z8-a-look-at-nikons-newest-camera/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=exploring-the-nikon-z8-a-look-at-nikons-newest-camera</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Frederick Van]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 02 Jun 2023 00:07:25 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[All About the Gear]]></category> <category><![CDATA[TWiP Podcast]]></category> <category><![CDATA[TWiP TALKS]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Nikon]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Product Review]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Troy Miller]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Z8]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://thisweekinphoto.com/?p=299233</guid> <description><![CDATA[Veteran wedding photographer Troy Miller chat about the newly launched Nikon Z8.]]></description> <enclosure url="https://media.blubrry.com/thisweekinphoto/content.blubrry.com/thisweekinphoto/Troy_Miller_Z8.mp3" length="38593264" type="audio/mpeg" /> <itunes:subtitle>Veteran wedding photographer Troy Miller chat about the newly launched Nikon Z8.</itunes:subtitle> <itunes:summary><![CDATA[ Join veteran wedding photographer Troy Miller for a hands-on review of the newly launched Nikon Z8.

With the advent of computational photography, it has become easier than ever before to create stunning images with just a mobile phone. To shed more light on this trend, I had a chance to speak with <a href="https://erikkuna.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="">Erik Kuna</a>, photographer, and the Vice President Operations at <a href="http://www.KelbyOne.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="">KelbyOne.com</a> — a leading online photography training platform. In the interview, Kuna shares his insights on the rise of mobile phone photography and how computational photography is making it possible for anyone to capture stunning images. He also highlights some of the key trends in mobile photography and the directions that computational photography is moving in. Kuna explains that computational photography is a game-changer because it leverages the power of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to enhance the capabilities of mobile phone cameras. It allows for advanced features such as automatic focus and exposure adjustment, noise reduction, and even background blur or bokeh effects, which were previously only possible with DSLR cameras. With the ongoing advancements in camera technology and the growing accessibility of photography training, there has never been a better time to explore the world of mobile photography.

It captures the attention of potential buyers and helps them envision themselves living in a home. In recent years, the demand for high-quality real estate photography has increased significantly as more buyers search the internet for homes. Rob Moroto, a real estate photographer based in Calgary, Alberta, is one of the industry's most sought-after professionals. In this interview, Rob shares his insights and expertise on the real estate photography business, including the challenges he faces, the tools he uses, and the keys to success in this competitive industry. About Rob Moroto: Rob Moroto Rob is the mind behind Calgary Photos, one of the leading Real Estate Photography firms in Calgary, and like many business owners, he considers himself a recovering workaholic. To strike a work-life balance, he loves rounding out his days by searching for the best Eggs, Benedict, and moules frties. You’ll also catch him participating in different physical activities like rock climbing, boxercise, and driving IPAs (the best way to build biceps, right?). After moving with his three boys and wife out to Vancouver Island, he’s continued to be an integral part of the Calgary Photos family by regularly taking on one of the world’s longest commutes. To Rob, there’s nothing better than working with a great team and he runs his business by Richard Branson’s words, “train people well enough so they can leave, treat them well enough, so they don’t want to”. While his love for photography runs deep, starting in junior high, the company started as an accident. After being laid off as a marketing manager for a developer, the photographer he worked with suggested that he get into shooting. As luck would have it, his neighbor was getting ready to sell their home and he had his very first photoshoot! The realtor liked the photos and the rest is history. From homes to people to businesses, Rob loves showing a different perspective through his lens. He sees depth in every person and every object, no matter how plain they may seem. He can’t wait to help local businesses and talents find their beauty through his photography. You can find Rob regularly on Youtube and Instagram and listen to him on the Photofocus Podcast.

And my passion for documenting humankind has led me to find beauty in the most unlikely places. As a visual storyteller, photographic images are how I tell these stories. Chasing light is my desire, my obsession, my addiction. <a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Valerie-Jardin-©Valérie-Jardin-street-2-1200x800.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Valerie-Jardin-©Valérie-Jardin-street-1-800x1200.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Valerie-Jardin-©Valérie-Jardin-On-Ice-3.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Valerie-Jardin-©Valérie-Jardin-On-Ice-2.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Valerie-Jardin-©Valérie-Jardin-On-Ice-1.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Valerie-Jardin-©Valérie-Jardin-night-2-1200x800.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Valerie-Jardin-©Valérie-Jardin-Humor-Berlin-1.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Valerie-Jardin-©Valérie-Jardin-hands-2-1200x800.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Valerie-Jardin-©Valérie-Jardin-birds-1-1200x800.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Valerie-Jardin_WORDPRESS-1200x675.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Valerie-Jardin-©Valérie-Jardin-Valerie-1-1200x800.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Valerie-Jardin-©Valérie-Jardin-street-2-1200x800.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Valerie-Jardin-©Valérie-Jardin-street-1-800x1200.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Valerie-Jardin-©Valérie-Jardin-On-Ice-3.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Valerie-Jardin-©Valérie-Jardin-On-Ice-2.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Valerie-Jardin-©Valérie-Jardin-On-Ice-1.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Valerie-Jardin-©Valérie-Jardin-night-2-1200x800.jpg"></a> ]]></itunes:summary> <itunes:author>This Week in Photo</itunes:author> <itunes:image href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/TWiP_LOGO_2014_3000.jpg" /> <itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType> <itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit> <itunes:duration>47:43</itunes:duration> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">298831</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Photo Organization with Mylio: An Insider’s Look with CEO David Vaskevitch</title> <link>https://thisweekinphoto.com/photo-organization-with-mylio-an-insiders-look-with-ceo-david-vaskevitch/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=photo-organization-with-mylio-an-insiders-look-with-ceo-david-vaskevitch</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Frederick Van]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Mon, 13 Feb 2023 05:57:07 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[TWiP Podcast]]></category> <category><![CDATA[TWiP TALKS]]></category> <category><![CDATA[cloud]]></category> <category><![CDATA[DAM]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Digital Asset Management]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Mylio]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://thisweekinphoto.com/?p=298781</guid> <description><![CDATA[David Vaskevitch dishes about Mylio, its vision, and its impact on the photography community.]]></description> <enclosure url="https://media.blubrry.com/thisweekinphoto/ins.blubrry.com/thisweekinphoto/David_Vaskevitch_1.mp3" length="55063468" type="audio/mpeg" /> <itunes:subtitle>David Vaskevitch dishes about Mylio, its vision, and its impact on the photography community.</itunes:subtitle> <itunes:summary><![CDATA[ I'm excited to welcome to the podcast David Vaskevitch, the CEO and co-founder of <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://mylio.com?utm_source=paid+media&utm_medium=twip&utm_campaign=february_custom+email" target="_blank">Mylio</a>, a leading photo management and organization software.

He walks the streets, talking to and photographing Black residents and leaders, using his background as a film director to set up unique and compelling street portraits. His photographs are influenced by the likes of Walker Evans, Dorothea Lange, Robert Frank, and Garry Winogrand, and he has also developed his story-telling style. He released a book of his photographs called "Forgotten America" in 2014. About Tom, in his own words… I AM A WHITE GUY. Tom Jenz On a summer day in 2014, I started photographing Milwaukee’s segregated inner city after I stopped on a busy street, got out of my car, and started walking, talking to any Black resident who would tolerate me. Since then, I’ve captured numerous street portraits of Black people I’ve come across or gotten to know - residents, street leaders, religious leaders, artists, cops, ex-cons, businessmen, the police chief, the county sheriff, and even the current Mayor. I am also a journalist and have written hundreds of their stories, mainly for the Shepherd Express newspaper and magazine. These include feature and investigative articles and shorter profiles under my column, Central City Stories. MY STYLE Walking the inner city communities, I look for photo ops that reflect what is happening in that neighborhood. I might engage citizens by taking an interest in their backgrounds, then later getting permission for a portrait I set up as if I were a film director. Before I take a picture, I have a good idea of what the shot will be ahead of time because when a subject is ready or a scene develops, I have to move quickly. It’s like being a film director, which is also part of my creative background. Central city citizens are almost always suspicious and can even be unpleasant. There is little eye contact among Black pedestrians. Yet, I always try to make eye contact with anyone passing me to see if there is an opening for a conversation. Many times, this approach does not work. I call it the culture of mistrust, suspicion of the white man, and even of each other. The ambiance can be like a gray cloud crowding out the sunlight. My photographs live through my influences: Walker Evans, Dorothea Lange, Robert Frank, and Garry Winogrand, but I have worked hard to develop my story-telling style. My fine arts photography book, FORGOTTEN AMERICA, Images & Thoughts by Tom Jenz, was released in the summer of 2014 but is currently out of print. My short stories, fiction, and essays have appeared in various literary journals.

Combining Panasonic’s latest technologies, the new S5II and S5IIX were designed and developed based on the excellent performance in photo/video and stunning mobility of the LUMIX S5 to achieve a more assertive shooting style of ambitious creators. Panasonic has developed a new 24.2-megapixel 35mm full-frame CMOS sensor that complies with PDAF (Phase Detection Auto-Focus). The imaging engine has also been newly developed to achieve high resolution, natural description, and approximately 2x higher-speed signal procession for high bit-rate video recording. The new sensor and engine combination achieves both PDAF and high image quality - a hallmark of LUMIX. In tune with the adoption of PDAF, the AF system evolved into fast, accurate Phase Hybrid AF, making it even more dependable. Advanced subject detection and metering technologies to capture the target subject in focus even in adverse lighting conditions. Once locked on the subject, it keeps tracking even in situations where plural objects are moving in the frame. The LUMIX S5II and S5IIX provide robust image stabilization systems for wide-ranging shootingconditions and situations. In addition to Combining the Body I.S. in the camera and the O.I.S. in the LUMIX S Series lens, the 5-axis Dual I.S. 2, the correction power is maximized to allow a 6.5-stop slower shutter speed. In addition, Active I.S. has been added for even more stable video recording. Active I.S. optimizes horizontal, vertical, and rotational correction ratios by determining the camera shake's status. As a result, the performance of the image stabilizer is maximized to achieve compensation of approximately 200% larger amount of camera shake compared with the conventional imagestabilization.

We discuss the pros/cons of LED lighting and how continuous lighting combined with strobe may produce a bright future for our craft. About Jake Hicks (in his own words) Having been a freelance photographer for over a decade, I have been fortunate enough to be involved with some very varied and influential clients. They have chosen me to represent their company's image and ideals because my work is always about ensuring a progressive aesthetic to any campaign. My results always stand out for the right reasons. Jake Hicks Being technically very proficient and with a strong background in the pre-digital era of photography, my ability to capture dynamic visuals ‘in-camera’ without relying on heavy post-production and photo manipulation has always made me far more adaptable on shoot day. For this reason, I have been the preferred choice for clients who want to remain part of the creative process from start to finish. That being said, when the need arises and a job requires efficiency and trust to ensure a shoot can be turned around quickly, being extremely proficient in all modern imaging software is a must, enabling me to remain dynamic and flexible to any last-minute changes. <a href="https://jakehicksphotography.com/">https://jakehicksphotography.com</a> <a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/JakeHicksPhotography_B-4-of-6-Jake-Hicks-800x1200.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/JakeHicksPhotography_B_GS-3-of-5-Jake-Hicks-1200x800.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/JakeHicksPhotography_B_GS-6-of-7-Jake-Hicks-800x1200.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/JakeHicksPhotography_C-7-of-7-Jake-Hicks-800x1200.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/JakeHicksPhotography_C_GS-2-of-4-Jake-Hicks-800x1200.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/JakeHicksPhotography_C_GS-4-of-6-Jake-Hicks-1200x800.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/JakeHicksPhotography_CS-9-of-9-Jake-Hicks-800x1200.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/JakeHicksPhotography_D_GS-5-of-7-Jake-Hicks-800x1200.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/JakeHicksPhotography_G_GS-1-of-8-Jake-Hicks-800x1200.jpg"></a><a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/JakeHicksPhotography_I_GS-1-of-5-Jake-Hicks-800x1200.jpg"></a> ]]></itunes:summary> <itunes:author>This Week in Photo</itunes:author> <itunes:image href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/TWiP_LOGO_2014_3000.jpg" /> <itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType> <itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit> <itunes:duration>1:14:18</itunes:duration> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">298474</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Specialization and Storytelling in Photography, with Deevo Tindall</title> <link>https://thisweekinphoto.com/specialization-and-storytelling-in-photography-with-deevo-tindall/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=specialization-and-storytelling-in-photography-with-deevo-tindall</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Frederick Van]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 11 Nov 2022 05:55:00 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[TWiP Podcast]]></category> <category><![CDATA[TWiP TALKS]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Specialization]]></category> <category><![CDATA[storytelling]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://thisweekinphoto.com/?p=298452</guid> <description><![CDATA[Deevo Tindall and I discuss the art of specialization and storytelling and why its importance can sometimes be overlooked.]]></description> <enclosure url="https://media.blubrry.com/thisweekinphoto/ins.blubrry.com/thisweekinphoto/Deevo_Tindall.mp3" length="48369329" type="audio/mpeg" /> <itunes:subtitle>Deevo Tindall and I discuss the art of specialization and storytelling and why its importance can sometimes be overlooked.</itunes:subtitle> <itunes:summary><![CDATA[ In this episode, creator Deevo Tindall and I discuss the art of specialization and storytelling and why its importance can sometimes be overlooked.

The most important voice in photo podcasting joins the most influential brand in photography.  MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA – (Oct 25, 2022) – SmugMug, the world’s most influential name in photography, has announced two strategic additions to their expanding family of brands: This Week in Photo (TWiP), the beloved photography podcast network and media powerhouse; and its Editor in Chief, professional photographer, and industry influencer Frederick Van Johnson, who joins SmugMug to lead content and new media while continuing to grow and evolve This Week in Photo. “It’s an ideal match,” says SmugMug+Flickr VP of Marketing Scott Kinzie. “Our purpose at SmugMug is building a better world through the power of photography, and This Week in Photo has been inspiring, educating, and connecting photographers for more than a decade. Naturally, we’re massive fans of [Johnson’s] work.” “Frankly, it’s time for TWiP to evolve,” Johnson adds. “I’ve built a wonderful podcast and community of photographers, but I believe TWiP can reach many more photographers, produce more amazing content, and expand the dialogue around photography — and its impact on our world. I just had to find the right team to work with, and SmugMug is the obvious choice because of its unprecedented brand recognition and reach into the photography industry.’ SmugMug is well known for working tirelessly to increase the influence and impact of photography worldwide. From its acquisition of Flickr in 2018 to its award-winning series SmugMug Films, the brand is showing no signs of slowing down. “We’re among very few truly photographer-centric brands worldwide,” says Kinzie. “We’re always looking for opportunities to support these cornerstones of the photographic community, so when we realized Frederick shared our vision for the future of photography, it became clear that this relationship was great not only for photographers but also for the art of photography itself.” This Week in Photo, or “TWiP” as it’s known affectionately by fans, is an accessible media powerhouse with regular podcasts, blogs, and an active community covering the many facets of our industry. Since 2008, professional photographer and marketer Frederick Van Johnson has honed the TWiP brand and network, which now boasts weekly photo critiques, interviews, courses, tech reviews, and more. Johnson is uniquely situated to start meaningful conversations in the photography community and has seen a lot of change over the years. From his transformative tour of duty, serving as a decorated combat photojournalist with the United States Air Force, to marketing and product work with industry giants like Adobe, Yahoo!, and Apple.  “A decade ago, it was all about gear and the latest tech,” he says. “They also wanted to know how to build a portfolio or gallery with the tools of the time. People still love their gear, but today we’re increasingly seeing folks get into business, trying to make a go of it as a pro photographer. I've long admired SmugMug's commitment to empowering photographers since signing up in 2004. I’m stoked to join them in their mission of getting more photographers informed, inspired, and entertained—it’s the opportunity of a lifetime.” <a href="https://www.smugmug.com/community/this-week-in-photo">https://www.smugmug.com/community/this-week-in-photo</a> —------------------ About SmugMug Photographers around the world trust SmugMug with more than just their photos.

We discuss the psychology and mindset behind preparation and pre-visualization for high-profile jobs. We also discuss his experiences shooting controversial figures like Dr. Anthony Fauci and <a href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/photographing-roger-stone/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Roger Stone</a>. About Jesse Dittmar Jesse Dittmar is a portrait photographer working with publications such as The New York Times and The Washington Post and brands like Apple and Hulu. The New Yorker, People, Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone, and New York Magazine have all published his work. He has photographed the most accomplished figures of the 21st century, including Denzel Washington, Tom Brady, Serena Williams, Tom Hanks, Patti Smith, David Letterman, the Star Wars cast, and hundreds more. Typically using black and white film, Jesse's photographs invoke a sense that one is standing in front of the subject. He humanizes our most renowned figures and photographs those who are not famous in an equalizing manner. His portraits are iconic in their simplicity and intimacy. <a href="https://jessedittmar.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://jessedittmar.com</a><a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.instagram.com/jessedittmar" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/jessedittmar</a> ]]></itunes:summary> <itunes:author>This Week in Photo</itunes:author> <itunes:image href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/TWiP_LOGO_2014_3000.jpg" /> <itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType> <itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit> <itunes:duration>55:42</itunes:duration> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">298080</post-id> </item> <item> <title>A Lifetime of Photographing Music, with Jay Blakesberg</title> <link>https://thisweekinphoto.com/a-lifetime-of-music-with-jay-blakesberg/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=a-lifetime-of-music-with-jay-blakesberg</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Frederick Van]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 09 Sep 2022 05:47:50 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[TWiP Podcast]]></category> <category><![CDATA[TWiP TALKS]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Music Photography]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://thisweekinphoto.com/?p=298037</guid> <description><![CDATA[ancisco-based photographer, filmmaker, and public speaker whose work has been featured in Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair, Relix, and numerous other magazines. ]]></description> <enclosure url="https://media.blubrry.com/thisweekinphoto/ins.blubrry.com/thisweekinphoto/Jay_Blakesberg_2.mp3" length="5242880" type="audio/mpeg" /> <itunes:subtitle>ancisco-based photographer, filmmaker, and public speaker whose work has been featured in Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair, Relix, and numerous other magazines.</itunes:subtitle> <itunes:summary><![CDATA[ In this interview, I speak with veteran music photographer, filmmaker, and public speaker Jay Blakesberg. Over the past several decades, Jay has had the opportunity to photograph a veritable whos-who in the music industry. ©Jay Blakesberg We talk about his latest book chronicling a lifetime of music. The book, assembled by his daughter, is a retrospective of never-before-seen images of the superstars that created the soundtracks of many of our childhoods. Jay is a San Francisco-based photographer, filmmaker, and public speaker whose work has been featured in Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair, Relix, and numerous other magazines. He has worked with countless musical artists, including Neil Young, Radiohead, Phish, Joni Mitchell, The Flaming Lips, Tom Waits, the Rolling Stones, Carlos Santana, and the Grateful Dead, to name just a few. Blakesberg first started documenting life with a camera in 1978 at age 16. RetroBlakesberg is his 16th coffee table book. Check out @Retroblakesberg – the Instagram account Jay's daughter, Ricki, curated that uses Jay's work to form a compelling story of how rock ‘n’ roll, fashion, and cultural trends have evolved– as well as the looks and concepts that have remained popular as we move farther and farther away from the analog existence of Jay’s youth, and into the high-tech interconnectedness of Ricki’s generation.

We discuss the “how” and “why” behind the project. As well as some of the challenges involved with producing award-winning films featuring world-class photographers in some of the most exotic locations on the planet. We also dive into some of the tools they employ to get the job done — on time and on budget. Anton Lorimer, in his own words… Anton Lorimer “I’m incredibly thankful to have the ability to create something from scratch. Each of the films I create is unique. They reflect the people and subjects I chase and document worldwide. And although the environments and stories may vary, there is always a constant passion. Passion for what they do, who they are, or what they value. I try to capture that. My style incorporates a cinematic feel with a sense of movement, pace, and unique perspective. This approach enhances the story by creating a feeling, a mood, or an experience.” Alastair Jolly, in his own words… Alastair Jolly “I have been in the photography industry for over 20 years. Although I specialized in social and commercial photography throughout my professional career, I have always managed to find time to capture imagery for my own enjoyment and creativity. I find my creativity pulls me in different directions frequently while photographing. I am as happy photographing long-exposure sea and cityscapes as I am in the middle of a vast landscape or, indeed, on a Photowalk around a city. Now with my roles at SmugMug & Flickr, I am very fortunate to travel frequently, work with the best photographers in the world, and always find time for just me and my camera.” Check out SmugMug films:<a href="http://www.smugmug.com/films" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://www.smugmug.com/films</a> https://youtu.be/kH-rfAA2qN4 Connect with Mike Mezeul II: <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://prints.mikemezphotography.com/" target="_blank">https://prints.mikemezphotography.com</a><a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.flickr.com/people/mikemezphoto/" target="_blank">https://www.flickr.com/people/mikemezphoto</a> SmugMug Films Trailer https://youtu.be/M1V9cELsK-E ]]></itunes:summary> <itunes:author>This Week in Photo</itunes:author> <itunes:image href="https://thisweekinphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/TWiP_LOGO_2014_3000.jpg" /> <itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType> <itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit> <itunes:duration>28:10</itunes:duration> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">298009</post-id> </item> <item> <title>The Modern Portraitist – Scott McDermott</title> <link>https://thisweekinphoto.com/the-modern-portraitist-scott-mcdermott/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-modern-portraitist-scott-mcdermott</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Frederick Van]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 26 Aug 2022 04:47:14 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[TWiP Podcast]]></category> <category><![CDATA[TWiP TALKS]]></category> <category><![CDATA[portraiture]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://thisweekinphoto.com/?p=297961</guid> <description><![CDATA[An interview with New York City-based photographer and director Scott McDermott.]]></description> <enclosure url="https://media.blubrry.com/thisweekinphoto/ins.blubrry.com/thisweekinphoto/Scott_McDermott.mp3" length="48395452" type="audio/mpeg" /> <itunes:subtitle>An interview with New York City-based photographer and director Scott McDermott.</itunes:subtitle> <itunes:summary><![CDATA[ <a href="http://www.ScottMcDermott.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Photographer and Director Scott McDermott</a> grew up in Switzerland, backpacked through the American West, and trekked the Himalayas before spending the last 20+ years as a commercial photographer in New York City. After initially shooting sports, Scott's work eventually shifted toward the athletes themselves and portraiture. This led to photographing many of the best creative minds in Hollywood, the music industry, and the worlds of business and government. ©Scott McDermott Along with his advertising work for global brands and major magazines, Scott has created several personal projects, including his “Scar Stories” portrait series, the highly acclaimed "Mandela Day” project (capturing the hands and faces of many of those who support Nelson Mandela's message.) and a series of portraits accompanying the film "Pop Culture" about the fatherhood experience. His work has been shown at solo and group exhibits and is held in many collections internationally. Scott is also a director on various projects through his production company Magenin Films. He recently directed a feature documentary, "Danica: DRIVEN" that follows racing driver Danica Patrick in the lead-up to her final race before retirement.

This is a story about his journey to the 8, a journey that never ends, a story that will always be told long after he’s gone. At 19 years of age, his passion for arts and photography became very real. Michael Aboya At that time, he was studying software programming, a subject he had no particular interest in, but his parents wanted him to be a programmer. The journey and story began when he lost his father to cancer in August 2016, and this drove him to realize that one day he will also die; but does he die knowing he pursued his dreams or wasted his life? These were the questions Michael kept asking himself. Then, he started to pursue his dreams of becoming a professional photographer. He stopped studying computer programming and used the little savings and funds he had to buy a Canon T3 camera with a Canon EF 70mm – 300mm lens. In early 2017, he started working as a full-time photographer, dedicated to learning and, most importantly, becoming a better version of himself. Today, as a visual artist working with photography, his purpose is to tell stories that inspire, empower and connect with the viewer. His images explore emotions, love, and strength through composition, lighting, and subject matter. As he looks to the future, he looks forward to continuing the exploration of our humanity for many years to come. Over this period, Michael has received six awards for outstanding visual storytelling and composition and made some inspiring achievements. Best eyes Photography Award 2018, Best sound Photography Award 2018, Best horse rider Photography 2018, Best portrait for humanity 2020 By Agora Awards, He is the author Of the best photograph in the world 2019 “Songs OF Freedom” – Agora Awards 2019 in Spain, Barcelona. And photographer of the year 2022 (People’s Choice Award) in his home Country Ghana. Michael became an Adobe Lightroom Ambassador 2021 and an Adobe Lightroom Classic Splash Screen Artist 2022; his works and story have been featured in many popular media outlets such as Forbes, BBC, Sony Alpha Photographers, and many more.
