I often get questions from friends and family about what camera or lens someone should buy when starting out. With so many options out there, the decision can seem fairly daunting as a beginner. In order to provide proper guidance, I’ve created the following guide to help you make the decision on what camera to get when starting your photography journey.
Read MoreIt seems really easy right now as a photographer to make the excuse that external events are putting you in a state of stagnation. It’s not a good time to try to sell yourself. It’s not the time to be traveling. It’s not the time to go out and network. I think when this happens, the lazy part of our brains acts with a new sense of authority.

Most art, whether it’s a painting, a film or a music composition, is often created over a period of time. Photography though, in its simplest form, takes place in a fraction of a second. Months of planning, research, and travel can go into capturing that fraction of a second, and much can happen after during post-processing, but the exact moment of pressing down on the shutter to get the desired shot, is so quick you could miss it.
