Thanks to the internet and social media, we’re now exposed to art more than ever before. With Instagram and a bunch of photo-sharing apps and websites, we can see hundreds of pictures and videos every single day. All of this has a good side, of course, since it lets us have loads of inspiration only a click away. But today, we’ll discuss one of the bad sides. In this video, Nigel Danson talks about the impostor (or imposter) syndrome he feels as a photographer....

Long before I decided to start shooting portraits, I was asked to photography people. Friends, family, their friends, and their friends. At the time, I wasn’t interested in photographing people, and didn’t really have much idea how to go about getting great photos of people. I usually declined and deferred to people who knew what they were doing. But it’s a valuable skill to learn.

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has just broken yet another record. After the most distant star ever seen, it’s now spotted and captured the largest icy comment astronomers have ever seen. And it truly is massive! The estimated diameter is approximately 80 miles across. For reference, that’s larger than the state of Rhode Island, and around 26 times larger than the Comet Neowise. As for its nucleus, it’s about 50 times larger than found at the heart of most known comets....

Like most photographers who have been working for many years, I have my favorite, go-to lights. These include the Broncolor Para 88, 133, and 222; the Broncolor ‘pre-2006 style’ Flooters; the Elinchrom Zoom Spots; and Elinchrom Litemotiv Indirect. I have adapted all of these modifiers within the last year to fit the Flashpoint 1200H remote heads, as well as the 600Pro (AKA Godox AD600 Pro) and 600H Pro, as I prefer these mobile, lightweight, HSS capable flashes for the flexibility they provide over any other current brands or models....
