Behind The Shot: Endless Horizons
Post-production is one of the best ways to create a unique look to your imagery and stand out in a world filled with photographers. While the idea of editing and photo manipulation is still not widely 'accepted' by many in the world, I honestly believe that post-production is the future of photography. Every single photographer edits their images to at least some degree. In fact, Peter Lik, one of the world's most famous landscape photographers who has sold over $500 million worth of prints, heavily relies on post-production in order to make his images stand out and attract buyers.

Where in the World am I?
Ever since Nicéphore Niépce found a way to photograph what he saw, people have used the medium to express art. Professional photographers use the camera to entice people to travel to new places, and have new experiences, and to record important events. No one could sell anything without a great photographer to show their product to its best advantage.

How to create your Instagram aesthetic! . Top Story - March 2021.
My Instagram feed is an expression of who I am. As a creative, it's my brand. I am in no way any form of influencer, but yet I've had work from my Instagram, made connections, and I enjoy playing with my own aesthetic. When I look back on memories, or trips I've taken, I like my feed to represent that moment in time. Like a public scrapbook of images.

A Sea of Dreams: Before & After. Top Story - March 2021.
You want to see the before photo? *GASP* That's like asking to see me in the morning without my mascara & eyeliner! BUT WHYYYYY?! I used to wonder this... why would anyone want to see the before photo? If you're a client, maybe you want to double check you "look ok?" or you aren't making a "weird face"? As a photographer...perhaps you think all photo's come out of camera perfect and ready to go? (Not to say that some styles lean this way...mine does not) Maybe you need more insight into what the possibilities lie ahead?

Simplified Photography Editing
Although I have did digital imagery and digital art creation for previous companies when working for them. When it comes to my own photography, I find that I’m often the exception to the digital world. I like my images to reflect the natural state in which I took them. Perhaps this lends itself to honesty or creativity, I’m not sure, but I don’t like to do massive photo edits.

Filters with Accurate Energy
It was yet another cold day under the powerful air conditioning vent in Kelsey Renfrew’s university office, and it was yet another day of no great ideas for her club’s charity gala. All of the proceeds would go to the local homeless shelter in an attempt to supply free menstrual products to underprivileged women, whose voices were rarely heard…but donating the money was only possible if Kelsey got the money—if Kelsey could figure out some kind of theme or gimmick to draw the public in.

Is a Film Scanner Worth Buying?. Top Story - February 2021.
Ever since I started scanning my own film, I've had a lot of questions as to whether or not purchasing a film scanner is really worth it. Do you need a film scanner, or should you just keep getting your scans from your lab? It's probably not a question as old as time, but it's sure a popular question nevertheless.
