‘The Revenant’ Review
'The Revenant' is one of the most honest pieces of filmmaking I've seen in a long time. It's so refreshing to see a movie that has no time for any modern agendas, is a technical marvel, is perfectly cast, and uses its locations to breathtaking affect. There's so much

Top 5 Tips to Being Taken Seriously as a Commercial Photographer

When I was a kid I went to my local comic book shop with my dad. When we arrived, the place was packed full of people because of a comic book signing that was going on. As we tried to walk in the crammed space, we saw a man dressed up in a homemade Batman costume waiting in line, clutching his comic books. My dad looked at him

The New Spectacle Studio!
Two weeks ago Richard Johnson and I signed a lease to our new studio. This is a big thing for us, and has been a long time coming. Rich and I met 8 years ago at a networking event for weddings, and as we handed each other our wedding portfolios we announced our hatred of being wedding photographers and videographers, and we've been thick as thieves ever since.
Hideo Kojima Leaves Metal Gear
Hideo Kojima has, in his own cryptic way, announced that Megal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain will be the last Metal Gear that he's involved with. This leaves the Metal Gear brand in the wind.
Telltale Games
A company that's really impressed me lately is Telltale Games. They're a game development company, and they have an awesome business model. Not only do they maintain their own brand extremely well, they take on all sorts of IP's and have to create games that match the pre-existing brands.
