The Ultimate Guide to Marketing Your Photography on Pinterest
When thinking about marketing photography on social media, many ignore Pinterest. This is primarily because a lot of people don’t know or understand Pinterest. They believe it is a recipe sharing or wedding planning site for women or a place for do-it-yourselfers to share projects.

Where the Mountains Become Home
Nestled between Utah Lake and the Wasatch Front mountain range of Northern Utah is the city of Provo. As a self-proclaimed Idaho "native," I'm somewhat reluctant to admit that I was actually born in Provo. I was too young to remember living here, but since moving back for school, the mountains have become a symbol of home for me again.

Gary, IN USA
I live in the shitty part of Chicagoland - where regular people lock their car doors when they drive through. You know the places - where people of color live on streets named after Ceasar Chavez or Martin Luther King. We don't even have those roads here but people still get scared. I'm not saying that racism doesn't exist here because we're all the same - it sure as fuck does - but here, in Gary, IN, USA, it's like Detroit. You don't want to be here if you got a choice.

5 Twitter Photographers You'll Want To Electrify Your Aesthetic
I see there was some connection with my Twitter artists article (see here), so I decided that since I have so many like-minded devourers of Art . . . I would continue the trend by introducing you to some amazing contributors to Photo Twitter! These photographers can do it all: twist your perception, edge the darkest line of fantasy, swim along the brightest stream of light, and bend reality. All that, just in one photo? It's more likely than you think.

Take Advantage of the Season for Amazing Portrait Photography
Stop waiting for the perfect season to take that fantastic environmental portrait. If you use a studio for your portrait photography, then the seasons don’t matter. But if you venture outside, you must consider the environment, and the primary environmental factors are the seasons. Please don’t ignore the season; embrace it. Don’t wait; shoot now. There is always good light to be found in any season, and the changing seasons will give you a variety of backgrounds.

Where Theres Muck Theres Brass. Top Story - January 2021.
Now then mucka, welcome to the land of chip ‘oyles’ (fish and chips shops), ‘growlers’ (pork pies) and bingo daubers. A wonderful place where a night out will cost you twenty quid, including your kebab, cheesy chips and taxi fare home. A place of hard graft, grit and perseverance, where your mates have always got your back and you’ve always got theirs. I’m talking of Barnsley, the most unique town you’ve never heard of, except we don’t say town, we say tarn.

Authenticity in Photography
Before I start. This isn't dig at photo edits or the start of a lengthy debate on photo manipulation. Yes, I know fully well that photos have always been edited and 'those darkroom chaps' used to do some awesome things back in the day, pre photoshop.

Do People Know You Are a Photographer?. Top Story - January 2021.
I’m not talking about full-time professionals with a studio or a wedding photographer. I’m talking about part-timers or stock or nature photographers that do most work in private and isolated from the public. I try to always have business cards on hand, and I’ve covered my office walls with my work, to create a conversation about my photography. But how many casual acquaintances know that photography is a craft and business that I am pursuing?

My Review of the Canon M50
I bought my Canon M50 in 2019. I didn't know how far it would take me in my video journey. Yes of course this camera takes good images as well but I mainly bought it for making videos. From that time forward I never looked back at my older equipment and even when I've recently upgraded I find that I still use this trusty tool.

7 Simple Tips to Power Your Forced Perspective Photography Skills
Forced perspective photography always incorporates the optical illusion aspect. This can be seen through photographs of people on a beach trying to catch the sun in their palms, or the most common one – the one where they try to support the leaning Tower of Pisa. And you can make more of the same if you master your creativity by learning that perfect knack.
