Walk into a rented space that looks nothing like a studio, and you’ve got a decision to make before you raise the camera: work the window, or take control with flash. Natural light vs flash isn’t a question of which one is objectively better. It’s about which one fits the room, the subject, and the …
Dance photography is a unique and challenging genre of photography that captures the grace, fluidity, and energy of dancers in motion. From choosing the “right” camera settings, to understanding the importance of timing and composition, dance photography requires a combination of technical skills and creativity. Whether you’re shooting a professional dance performance, a street dance …
One thing that photography hobbyists tend to do better than professional photographers is make time to shoot for themselves. It makes sense why that is, given that pros typically focus all their energy on creating imagery for clients, but photographers of all levels can benefit from setting aside some time to practice new techniques in …
If you shoot video with any regularity, you have almost certainly ended up with clips you were not fully happy with. A wedding reception shot at ISO 6400. Handheld travel footage that came out softer than expected. Drone clips that look great on a laptop but fall apart on a 4K display. These are not …
Ranch and farm wedding venues offer far more than rustic charm. For photographers, they provide an unusual combination of scale, texture, architecture, animals, and environmental storytelling opportunities that are difficult to find elsewhere. The challenge, however, is that many photographers end up photographing these venues the same way they would any other wedding property. The …
Online gallery platforms have evolved well beyond simple delivery tools. Most working photographers now rely on them to help shape client experience, brand presentation, and revenue generation. The gallery is no longer just where images live; it also serves as more of a final impression a client walks away with. That’s the context behind Pic-Time …
If your organization has been running on an aging studio setup, or piecing together a production environment with whatever budget allowed at the time, Adorama Business Solutions has something worth checking out. The company’s B2B division is running its first-ever Studio Upgrade Contest, and the prize is not a gift card or a single piece …
Aftershoot started as an AI culling tool. Then it added AI editing. Then AI retouching. Each step moved it closer to something more ambitious, a single platform where photographers could handle more of their workflow without bouncing between apps. With their latest update, they’ve essentially fulfilled that vision. Aftershoot is shipping its largest update ever …
Post-processing has long been the most time-consuming part of a photographer’s workflow, and the numbers back that up. According to the 2026 Zenfolio State of the Photography Industry report, about 70% of photographers spend between 26% and 75% of their working time on editing. Only 5% of photographers surveyed feel they are managing the stress …
Most tools that promise to fix problems in post generally deliver on that promise, eventually. Noise reduction got better. Sky replacement definitely improved. Even frequency separation and skin retouching have reached a point where the results are genuinely convincing. Lighting, though, has always been the exception; that looks poised to change, however, with the launch …
Up for a challenge? Try to NOT be inspired by these macro flower photos.
To some degree, the clothes we wear share a piece of who we are, whether we’re dressed professionally or in casual attire. Sometimes, our outfits can be quite revealing. I don’t mean in the sense that they show more skin. No, I’m talking about graphic t-shirts that tell the world exactly what we’re passionate about: …
