Underwater 2015: Done!

For the last few years I have been vowing to reduce my workload with regards to underwater shooting. When I do too many sessions things get way too rushed and I fun times in the water give way to many grumpy hours processing the thousands of images. But 2015 is the first year I actually succeeded. In fact, I only held three underwater sessions, and boy-oh-boy did that ever work out better for me. In the end there were a total of 14 models, which is a very manageable number. At no time over the summer did I get overly backlogged and I was able to turn around the shots in a reasonable time. The big question is, will I remember this valuable lesson by the time the 2016 season rolls around? Want to see what things looked like this summer?

How many times have I clicked the shutter while squinting through the blurry port of my underwater camera case? (more…)

New Project: Me By Me

Shhhhh!! I'm very quietly launching a new photo project. Why quietly? Because unlike my past large-scale projects that required getting as many people as I possible could, this one is going to be somewhat smaller. It might only use a dozen or so people, so instead of promoting it heavily I'm just going to see what happens organically. (more…)

Underwater 2014 may have set a new record

I really did not think I was going to do much underwater photography this summer. By late May I had only set one firm shooting date, but also had plans to have a few less-structured shoots over the coming months, none of which I expected to yield too many new galleries. It didn't help that the first two of these shoots had to be cancelled due to freakishly unpleasant weather. (more…)
