Should You Ignore Your Local Photography Community?
I'm a member of a local photography Facebook page here in Orlando, and today I saw this graphic:
Photographing Cosplay
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
Cinematic Games!
So I recently played 'The Order: 1886'. When I first saw the trailer for this game, I was really excited. The graphics looked amazing, and it had a cinematic quality to it that I love. When we take photos, even if they're
That Devil Social Media
So Rich and I are ramping up our social Media efforts. Over the post couple of years our updates have been strong in some places, but pathetic in others. I mean, we've posted to our Facebook page twice in the last three months, and that's not good. The thing is that its been hard getting around to it in the beginning months of
Create Light!
A lot of people ask us how we light our photos, almost like we hold some sort of secret technique that pulls our photos into that high-quality, commercial territory. Want to know the secret? Make it up. That's all there is to it. Of course we know the basics, like three point lighting set-ups and all that, but to get something

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.
Scarecrow
This Batman Arkham Knight Scarecrow cosplay blew me away. The photography is by Rich Johnson and the mask and cosplay are by Matt Sprunger.
