David and I love in-camera effects of all kinds, from sets to lighting. So, I was really excited to try out some Prism Lens FX filters. They have so many cool options, and I’ve spent hours on their website, exploring all the different filters and being wowed by the effects. I believe in constantly pushing your creative boundaries and experimenting with new techniques in photography. That&rs...

There’s nothing more disappointing than spending hours color-correcting photos—making sure everything is balanced yet bold—only to have them printed and the colors come out dull, muted, and unsaturated. We’ve been through a lot of different printers over the years, and none of them did our photos justice…until we came across Bay Photo.      We neede...

Boudoir shoots can be easy and flow effortlessly. Imagine walking into every boudoir shoot with confidence, knowing that each pose will flow seamlessly into the next, creating endless variety. That’s why I developed a boudoir “routine”—a series of poses that flatter every body type and can be used by anyone for boudoir shoots. I photographed my first boudoir shoot in 2013...

This was a surreal, conceptual fashion editorial shoot, photographed against a cloud backdrop. The shoot showcases business casual looks inspired by early 70s spring wardrobes. We used a variety of lighting setups to highlight each of the three distinct looks. Photo sets don’t have to be over-the-top—sometimes a simple backdrop is all you need! We challenged ourselves to create surrea...

We’ll take you behind the scenes to break down the entire process—...

Learning to build your own photo sets is a game changer—and it doesn't have to be super complicated! Once you learn the basics, there’s no limit to what you can create. But you have to start small before you go big. You have to start somewhere. That’s why we created a set-building course where David teaches you how to build your own mini box set from start to finish. Once ...

Like a lot of artists, we stumbled upon our creative process by accident. The thing about being a creative professional is that you have to create on command and train your brain to be creative, even when the inspiration isn’t flowing. And to do that, you need some pretty strong creative muscles to work with. Everyone is creative. Some people just practice being creative, so they get bette...

Is there anything more painful than a broken heart? Experiencing a heartbreak can trigger profound emotional responses that leave lasting scars on your self-esteem. This shoot is about embracing those painful feelings and visually depicting what it's like to have your heart broken. To bring this vision to life, David constructed a micro set in the shape of a heart for us to shoot through.  ...
