I am a Portrait & Wedding photographer and wanted to choose a mirrorless system for my pro work, but what system was right for me? Size, weight, lenses, price, quality and sharpness were all requirements that HAD to be met to MY satisfaction before I would ever consider using a mirrorless sytem. So…now the big [...]
Retail camera stores in America are going thru a really rough time right now. Competition from online suppliers is tough, more women are buying photo gear, marketing and advertising methods are changing, and that’s really only the beginning. As a long time seminar presenter, Will Crockett has worked with photo retail specialty stores for [...]
While relearning how to light my hybrid photographs and talking portraits using LED Lighting, I have been attempting to get a similar look to what I’m used to with my strobes. I’ve found that by using 2 LED Panels, I can light the subject to create separation from the background. By introducing a hair light [...]
Great news! There’s now a good {not great} color accuracy CFL light bulb for only $9. Best of all, it’s from Home Depot. Thanks to Suzette Allen and Jon Yoshi for asking me to test this smart budget buster solution. Compact Fluorescent bulbs are not the ideal way to create talking portrait lighting, but [...]

As I’ve started to use more LED Lighting in order to give a unique look to my Talking Portraits and eProducts, I have started to notice some differences between the Flashes that I am used to and the new LED Panels. One thing that has really stood out to me as I’ve began using the [...]
Slide-in external microphones for hybrid photographers looking to shoot talking portraits can make a BIG boost in audio quality. And they can also be difficult to use, expensive, easy to break, and hard to adjust. There is no one perfect solution. We’re testing a bunch and one has popped up on our list as not [...]
