It’s no secret that red light is a concert photographer’s kryptonite. Digital camera sensors are much more sensitive to red light than any other color, making it very difficult to catch detail when your subject is lit in all red especially when they’re moving around.

I know that we are still in a panini (panoramic, panorama, pandemic) but the world is opening back up and that means live music is a thing again – and I am SO HAPPY about it. If you’ve been following me for awhile, you’ll know that concert photography was how I cut my teeth in…
Happy New Year! It’s 2022, what a wild thing to think about. I’m back with another iPhone tutorial, this time on post-process lighting and how you can elevate a simple portrait in only a handful of steps. It’s 2022, there’s no excuses for your content to be subpar, even if you only have a smartphone…

For the past week and a half I’ve been playing around on this iPhone app called Enlight Photo Fox. It’s gotten me a lot of great feedback on my socials and I’m happy that so many of you have been asking me questions and complimenting my work. I’ve been watching tutorials and putting a lot…
If you know my photo work and the particular style of it, you’ll notice that I like to play around with a lot of color. My favorite way to do this is to add light leaks to negative space or to make portraits pop. I also enjoy adding them to my self-published photojournalism work as…
Up until recently, this blog was strictly film photography. Now that I’ve decided to post film, digital, and writing works I will be posting a lot more; more material = more posts, woohoo. Just like with the light painting post, you can also utilize these tips in film photography as well. I just describe it…
Lately many of my assignments have been at nighttime. I don’t mind though because I’ve really gotten to practice with flash and long expose, something I haven’t done much in awhile.
