I am passionate about making photographs and helping others make their pictures better, too. I just took a dream job as the Photographer for Utah State University. I make all kinds of portraits for editorial and commercial use, product shots, action pictures, and landscapes in one of the most beautiful places in the world. It’s like making a living doing my hobby, and I love it. I spend the rest of my time being a poppa and studying to be a better hunter. Read more of my articles here. You can see my portfolio here— I promise to update it someday…

Gamers understand that there’s nothing less enjoyable than using the keyboard instead of a controller. They can appreciate the value of a controller that does specific things in games. The same should be true for those who create with their
I hate to break it to you, but making pictures of one person is easy. It’s level one, beginner, easy-cheese. When you add another person, it becomes a lot harder — much more than twice as hard. Right now I’ll
I just finished the most important job interview I’ve ever had. It was for my dream job in photography. Man, they asked some grilling questions. They didn’t just ask me what my biggest weakness is or other canned interview questions.
Fuji cameras have always intrigued me. A long time ago, one of my first students had a Fuji Finepix S3, which was housed in a Nikon body. There was always something a little different about her pictures, and I continue
If you’ve ever photographed a bunch of brothers all at once, you know they can be a handful. But the thing I’ve learned over the last ten years is that you’ve just got to let boys be boys and hang
I recently said that if I were allowed only one light for the rest of my life I’d choose a huge white umbrella. But if you’re just getting started with off-camera flash, I highly recommend a small collapsible white shoot-through
I’ve done lots of close-up and macro photography in my career, and I’ve tried many methods to get better results. We know that focusing close to a subject is one of the ways to make a very shallow depth of
Have you ever met someone who only works out their arms? Sure, they’ve got big handsome arm muscles, but they can’t jog down the block because they don’t exercise that part of their body. The same thing happens to photographers

I had the privilege to attend a talk by Coach Carter the other day. You remember the movie with Samuel L. Jackson? Yeah, that Coach Carter. He gave an inspirational talk to a room full of salespeople, and one of
