The classic “One Light Portrait” technique offers some advantages for still photographers transitioning to Hybrid Photography. By eliminating the variables introduced by multiple light sources, the photographer can more easily control color and white balance. In this video I want to demonstrate what you need and how to go about making great studio portraits with [...]
When I went completely mirrorless about a year ago a whole host of other “things” needed to change too. One was my camera bag. I was really happy with the one that I was using with my DSLR so at first I used it for my smaller gear. It didn’t take long for me to [...]
I recently got the Panasonic 35-100 mm lens (the equivalent to the DSLR 70-200 mm) and it allows me to come in close and create those intimate portraits I love. This is my new number one reason I love shooting with a mirrorless camera: ability to get in close with a a telephoto lens. It’s [...]
In this vlog post I’m going to demonstrate how when you change the frame rate of your video clips, you can add emotion to your hybrid eProducts. When you change your frame rate or clip speed you can do it in camera or in editing. In this video I changed the frame rate in the [...]
Printed business cards are a staple of commerce worldwide, yep most business people communicate electronically.

Let me set the stage Camera: Lumix GH3 with 12-35mm f2.8 lens I took an in-camera custom WB using a shutter speed of 1/60s (i.e. [...]
For the past several years I’ve been slowly developing my photographic style into a more minimalist approach. You see I’ve been that guy who has spent thousands of dollars chasing the “Pro Photography Equipment makes you a better photographer” illusion. From the illustrious “Full Frame” 35mm dSLRs to the Canon “L” professional lenses, I have [...]
In response to a viewer request, I recorded with first the shotgun and then the stereo settings/mics on the new Panasonic mic for the GH3. Both sound good, although different. The biggest difference is when the shotgun is pointed away at 90 then 180 degrees. Because of being in my studio, even then the sound [...]
So the busy season is just around the corner and I had an itch for new studio backgrounds, but did not feel like buying any (I’m a little dutch, what can I say.) Solution: Make my own backgrounds with my new Lumix GH3 and the onboard creative filters built right into this camera. These [...]
Clients are starting to ask for portraits that move and include voices. What parent or grandparent would NOT want to have a hybrid eProduct on their phones and FB pages from 10 years ago when your teenager was 6, and to see their movements and facial gestures and their little voices? THAT’s where professional and [...]
