Are you a photographer that simply doesn’t have the time to participate in an online workshop that deals with assignments? Are you confident in your output, but you need to have a few tools to capture sharp images?

Purchase this video where I discuss my sharpshooting technique from start to finish which will help you achieve sharp images straight out of the camera.

This tutorial was inspired after photographers didn’t understand what I saw when I looked at a scene. Although I am not sure about a lot of things that I may encounter during my life, I am very sure of every area I want to photograph in. I can instantly see it. I guess this tutorial is an insight to my brain regarding that very important thought process. Well here’s that video!

I am going over a scene that was captured around 12pm in Denver Colorado. This is a city that I never visited prior to photographing there. No one gave me any insight regarding where I decided to shoot, and I didn’t do any location scouting before hand. Basically, I never sought the location out before I began to shoot there.

In addition to what I mentioned above, this gives a really big client advantage. Clients can not envision what I see prior to capturing the image. That means when they see the final image, they are always impressed!

After I go over my thought process in depth, I will show you how I edited the image from start to finish to polish the image. You will be amazed because the image I used was actually an image that was a mistake!

This is a GREAT tutorial to have in your arsenal if you really want to stand out and begin to create a signature look.

hotographers ask me how to photograph at night. My answer is that I do not photograph at night.

Why? I hate how it looks. Instead I prefer to incorporate elements of ambient light to make my “night time” looking images stand out

If you’re a photographer who’s pretty savvy with lighting but still can’t quite figure out why my images keep catching your eye, then this tutorial is for you. But fair warning—you’ll be hooked and want more after watching this! So, why not just grab the VP Box and dive into everything I do? You know you want to!

And, as always, I’ll walk you through the editing process to refine the final image.

Software used: Photoshop CS + ACR.

Sometimes capturing what you want simply doesn’t happen when you snap the shutter.

Learn how I create what I want in post by combining images, and manipulating expression to create exactly what I hoped to capture at the time the shutter was snapped.

In this video, there will be a bit compositing, liquifying, color correction, and BW conversion. We will do all of this while maintaining a simplistic look.

This video was designed to work with the video Putty, the posing video. However, it works well as a stand-alone video.

This image was captured during my Finding the Light class at Shutterfest 2018, and was well received by thousands of photographers. During my class, I spoke to 50+ photographers who all followed me as I was photographing different subjects in various locations. I stated that I scope out the light…how I will compose, and more importantly…how I will “Make it Sing” during post processing. Every single thing I do during a shoot is done for a reason, and post processing is also part of those reasons. This image was captured in a very simple location outdoors, and only natural light ( no reflectors) was used to light this portrait.

During this tutorial, you will see how I edit skin, master SHARP eyes right down to the eyelashes, as well other elements to create an eye catching close up.
