LPT Dog/s freaking out over fireworks while at home?Stream some ocean waves or other ambient noises. It’ll help mask the sounds and keep them stay calm. It’s not fool proof, but if you don’t want to give your pup CBD (or do both) when 4th of July is popping off, I’ve found that playing ocean waves for my pup helps keep her from running under the bed.

I like the look of distressed, dyed and finished co…

Pros, how are you controlling an abundance of ambient light during single person portraits? I occasionally have to work in a glass and marble atrium just a few hours after sunrise and the amount of light bouncing around is, well, a lot. Its all coming from one side and I need to flag it off, but its a pretty wide are that I need to flag. It’s also coming from a steep high angle. Do you have any solutions for light, easily transportabl…

Ambient with flash (off camera for now) Took some shots for the first time with my new Godox V1 on my Sony A7C. My goal is to be able to create some dark and dramatic environmental portraits for some local dancers here in the area (think beach setting, hula outfits, dance poses etc) by the end of next month.
