Coco Rocha has got to be one of the coolest models I’ve seen. Born in Toronto, Ontario, and grew up in Richmond, British Columbia, Coco Rocha started her modeling career in New York in 2004. Ever since, we have seen her face all over big named ads and commercials. I like her because she seems to be a hard working individual with a lot of self-respect and integrity. In fact, she ran into a bit of a problem last year when Elle Brazil...

If you’ve been surfing on the Internet long enough, I’m sure you’ve seen the work of Devin Graham, also better known as “Devin Supertramp“. Thanks to the power of Youtube and social networks, anyone with a camera, a passion for photography/cinematography, and effort, could really make it to be popular. And by effort I mean lots of it. Most people think photographers/videographers live their lives like a...

One of the mistakes one photographer could make in the early days was showing up to a photo shoot and hoping things would work out for themselves. They never do. When your shoots are not going the way you wanted, you should realize that it was no one’s fault but your own. As a wedding photographer, Jasmine Star needs to prepare her clients for success. This usually begins at the beginning of the working relationship – the...

What you see in this entire video below was shot by Frokost Film in only one take. The shot took 18 second to film, which translates into three and a half minutes in slow motion. The music video “Havoc” was shot  at 300 fps, which ended up with 5400 frames, which will make it a 3.75-minute video when watched at 25 fps playback (they are in Europe, so they use PAL video). You could see that the set was very big and...

Guys, check out this behind-the-scene video below with Sue Bryce. Man, she is so boss when it comes to directing a model. Normally, when you watch a BTS video, you’ll notice that the photographer tends to let the model kind of do their thing, and the photographer would just sort of “machine gun” it. Definitely not Sue’s approach here. She knows exactly what she wants, and she can communicate her ideas to the model...

This is a simple look at how to shoot very basic corporate portraits. When you take a job on to shoot an office full of people, where do you start? What background do we need? Where do we shoot? What is the schedule and how do I light everyone? How do I make it look like I have my things together and am ready to take care of my clients? These are a few of the questions that are answered in this behind-the-scene video with...

Guys, this is some awesome behind-the-scene footage of our inspiring photographer Von Wong shooting ballet dancers at the National Slovak Theater. Since the dancers are normally restricted to a set of routines, Von Wong’s shoot was practically an opportunity for the ballerinas to get out, relax, and improvise using their skills and creativity. During the 7-minute video, Von Wong will go over some tips on shooting in public place, and...

The talented videographer Devin “Super Tramp” Graham has just released another video that he recently shot in Kenya, East Africa. Due to his last video called “Camera Warfare“,  some might say he’s amateur. However, I personally think this video below is looking like a real professional project. Y’know, the kind that you’d normally find yourself watching on the History or the Discovery channels. I...

The lens or focal length of the lens you choose has a profound impact on the image. It affects the perspective, background and features of the subject. In this video, Jay P. Morgan will go over what the different focal lengths do to the human face and how they change the background. Why do you choose a 135 mm lens to shoot a head shot of a beautiful woman but use a 24mm to shoot a clown. Jay will also go on to demonstrate a simple 2-light...

A few months ago, I posted a few BTS videos of Steve Shaw, who shot Emily Ratajkowski in April. Steve Shaw is one inspiring England-based photographer who shoots mainly for Treat! Magazine and celebrities. The story of how he got into high-end fashion photography is quite fascinating. Steve started out as assistant at a large photography studio in Manchester. Long story shorts, Steve moved to California a few years later. He then got a job...
