Matrix-Style Photography?
Checking Vincent Laforet’s blog, recently, I came across a video that gives a behind-the-scenes of a recent commercial that was filmed for Rip Curl to promote their new Mirage boardshorts. The video footage is shot by utilizing 52 different point-and-shoot still cameras, all firing simultaneously. This is a technique I’ve been very interested in, I [...]
Photo Tip: How to stitch a sequence shot.
Rather than just post a recent photo, I wanted to share a tip that I used to produce this last photo. A couple weeks ago, I attended an event known as, River Rock, which had lots of freestyle biking, kayaking, along with other action sports. I took this opportunity to shoot some sequence shots, only [...]
Getting Locked Out Of Your House Is A Good Thing.
Friday afternoon (April 9th), I was packing my car, preparing to leave town for the weekend. I spent the weekend shooting engagement photos for my cousin, Matthew, down in Blacksburg, VA (woohoo, go hokies!). Anyways, any of this even happened, I was throwing camera gear, clothes, the necessities into the car. Everything was ready to [...]
Timelapse Photography
Timelapse Reel# 5 from 599 Productions on Vimeo. I came across a great post on commercial photographer, Kevin Winzeler’s blog, which discussed the topic of timelapse photography. This is one type of photography I’ve always had an interest in but when it came to execution, fallen short. Included is a great video, along with a [...]
How to photograph snow.
If you live on the east coast, you know we’ve been hammered with snow over the past month, mainly the past 2 weeks. Lets just say, I’ve gotten my fair share of practice when it comes to photographing snow. There was a period of two days when snow literally came down non-stop. We kept the [...]
Preferred settings of sports photographers
I recently found an interesting post online having to do with sports photography. It is a series of graphs that display the trends in camera settings for photographers. Interestingly enough, I use the same settings as the majority. That depends on what I’m shooting though and the results I’m looking for. I’m not surprised, typically [...]

I wanted to post up one of my favorite videos that I finally tracked down on youtube. I’d seen this thing countless times but lost track of it and couldn’t remember who posted it.

Vcu basketball
The past two days was all prep for basketball, testing, cleaning, packing and finally setting everything up to shoot. It’s been a while since we’ve done the basketball setup so I had to work off the rust. It takes a little bit to get back into the flow of things, had a few miscues but [...]
Adidas Game Time
I found this article that gives the run down of a huge photo shoot for an adidas ad campaign. The photograph was shot by Canadian photographer, Mark Zibert. The article itself was very informative, but I also found it incredible just how much work went into one photograph. I guess its hard for me to [...]
