Creating a home studio for macro photography was far easier than I imagined! Recently I've been noticing the sun setting earlier and earlier, meaning summer is coming to a close. I wanted to build a home studio in order to get ready for the fall and winter and give myself some creative opportunities at home. First, you need a desk. Almost any desk will do, as long…
https://youtu.be/BCdmgqw7xXY The Fujifilm X100v is the ultimate bike ride photographic companion. Small, light, and extremely capable, THIS is the camera to take with you wherever you go. On this day, I rode my bike through some roads in Nebraska looking for roadside beauty.

Only YOU can answer this ultimately, but I thought a lot about this after a recent portrait shoot where I did a family session with my wife and son. We all used different cameras, but we got some amazing results. After that photoshoot, I…
