Man, so many new cameras have been announced recently; and these are some pretty interesting bodies. Quite the buzz online these days about all this new gear… it can make one’s head spin.

Photography and Social media is a match made in… well, I won’t say heaven, but it is definitely a strong combination that can, like anything, be both good or bad, depending on how it’s used. But should it shape the way we shoot? Should we shoot for “Likes?”     The post Photography Matters Ep 38 – Photography and Social Media – Shooting for Likes? appeared first on Photography Matters.

This is the second part of a two part series on working with models. In this episode I kind of fill in the blanks of what I didn’t cover in the first episode.

I think (hope) one thing we are all trying to do with our photography is create photographs that cause the viewer to feel a certain way; to create images that convey a feeling, hopefully in a style and manner that consistently flows through all of our work. In a time in which gear and technique […] The post Photography Matters Ep 34 – Shoot with Feel, Shoot with Passion appeared first on Photography Matters.
