Looking something like a cross between surfing and paragliding, kiteboarding (also called kitesurfing) is apparently quite a popular pastime at Waddell Creek Beach in California. Photographer Casey McCallister spent an afternoon observing the sport, and (one hour of shooting, 200+ images, and some serious Photoshopping later) he ended up with this: Calling the composite photo a […]
It’s wildfire season in much of America, and the West Coast is getting hit particularly hard this summer. In Washington State, the town of Chelan—home of Lake Chelan, a popular vacation destination about three hours north of Seattle—has been in the local and national news this week as residents and vacationers are being evacuated and […]
Here’s a match up of two lighting tools that should make for an interesting watch. Two professionals, both shooting with almost the exact same setup of gear, the same model, the same venue, and the same time of day. Except, while one photographer is using a powerful studio strobe, the other is using a humble […]
This isn’t your typical family photo—unless your relatives include a llama, a shaggy cow, a black sheep (doesn’t every family have one?), a rooster, and a goat.

For photographer Jack Simon, the goal is to tell a story that is mysterious, surprising, funny, a little bit ridiculous, and just plain out of the ordinary. Simon spends much of his time walking the streets of […]
Pro sports photography can often seem like an exhibition of lighting and equipment. However, if you choose the right time of day to shoot and use ambient light mixed with artificial lights intelligently, you can shoot with only one light and still make dramatic portraits. To demonstrate this, photographer Matt Hernandez brought a single light […]
If you prefer a good dose of humor mixed in with your photography tutorials, look no further. Kai, from over at DigitalRev, is here to teach us about using flash to capture dust, or in this case, baby powder, in mid-air. Kai’s dust dancing video tutorial is inspired by a series of similar photographs taken […]
Everyone thinks their pet is the smartest, the cutest, the cleverest. But photographer Ken Watson‘s German shepherd may have a bit of an advantage — she can walk on water! Well, at least it appears that she can. Watson explains the natural conditions that enabled this remarkable (and un-Photoshopped) photo: “Everyone loves their pet dog – […]
The process of creating a photograph is different for every photographer and hearing those different stories can be a great source of inspiration. Below, you can watch a visual telling of how fine art photographer, Jessica Backhaus, uses her imagination and obsession with light as the driving forces behind her work. Join along as she […]
