Ever had a friend who you wanted to help with a project, but you just couldn’t figure out what he/she needed? Well, meet my good buddy Matthew Jordan Smith and the challenge was his website. Matthew is one of the finest fashion and editorial photographers in the world, although there’s really nothing Matthew can’t shoot!

This year we added something very different to the long list of Summer School benefits, a website review. It takes place now, long before the Summer School program in August. I’m reviewing each attendee’s website, primarily focusing on their About section/Galleries and giving everybody a head-start on some of the things they need to be [...]
Lately I feel like I’m trapped in an old Jimmy Stewart movie and the hands of the clock are spinning. Time is literally flying by and projects I wanted to be finished with already are barely started. Julieanne Kost, in regards to asking her to be involved in a project we were working on, once [...]
Most of you have attended at least one major trade show and convention during the first quarter of the year. If you’re like most people, you came home with tons of notes. You had lists of great ideas. You might have even photographed a few speaker slides or new products creating ideas of things you [...]
I’ve written several posts over the last few years, both here and on GoingPro. With WPPI right around the corner it just seems to make sense to hit it one more time and here’s why. Time is your most valuable commodity. You’ll never have enough of it! Second on the list, for most people, will [...]
This is one of those weeks when we all tend to reminisce. So, in starting to look back over the last year, I found myself going back even farther and read one of my first posts, originally run on GoingPro, almost two years ago. Like the post I got my Dad to write over a [...]
If you haven’t seen this latest video from SmugMug, take two minutes and forty-seven seconds out of your day and just watch it. Yes, it’s a SmugMugPro commercial, but there are some spectacular things to pay attention to.
First, listen to what Trey Ratcliff, Jim Garner, Kevin Winzeler and Sandy Puc are each saying about their [...]
It’s been three years since Pulitzer Prize winner, Vincent LaForet, created Reverie. What initially makes it so unique is that it was shot entirely on the Canon 5D Mark II. There was no post processing. It’s all raw footage with no retouching…no tweaks…nothing!
However, what gets me more excited about the short film is what Vincent [...]
If you don’t know Helen Yancy or her work, then we need to find a way to help you get out more! I could be wrong, but I’m willing to bet she’s the most awarded female photographer in our industry from the portrait/social side of the business. When Helen and I first met years ago, [...]
Ever had a day when your to-do list looks like the breakfast scramble from a New Jersey diner. It’s a little bit of everything with no real focus except breakfast! Well, that’s the best analogy for this morning’s post!
This is one of those weeks where travel, projects and life in general have me going in eight [...]
