It’s been almost six months in the making, and I finally was able to release yet another time-lapse video of mine. This video marks my very first time-lapse project since I packed up my belongings in 2 suitcases, left California, and moved to New York on September 25th of 2012. One of the reasons why I moved to the city was to be able to take photos whenever and wherever I want. And so I have. This video should be a good reminder of...

You haven’t made a really good or “cool” video until yours has been picked by the Vimeo staff. Or at least that’s what I think anyway. Dustin Farrell has definitely made more than just one good one. The latest and final video of his time-lapse series has been picked up by the staff at Vimeo, and it’s been viewed by more than 280,000 times. Now that Dustin is off to doing other big projects, it might be a while...

This will be the coolest music video you’ve seen for a while. ”Her Morning Elegance” is a song from the album “The Opposite Side of the Sea”, written and produced by Oren Lavie.  The entire video was shot in stop-motion style, which, I haven’t seen one as cool as this one ever since Kina Grannis made her In Your Arms. “Her Morning Elegance” consists of almost 2100 single photos, which you...

If you live in California near the Los Angeles area, this video below is a must-see. “TimeLAX” is a time-lapse photography project that shows the Greater Los Angeles area from many angles. The project includes different types of photography such as panoramic, architectural and artistic. RalphGM & RandyFX have scouted, tested and selected more than 200 locations that are presented in a series of videos. Music...

Check out this mesmerizing time-lapse video below that was shot by photographer Jony Karlson, Jokemedia of Finland. It looks like Jony traveled the world to quite a few places over a long course of time, and then put everything together and a showreel. You’ll see that the locations will range from tropical, jungle, civilization, city, industrial, cold, etc… There are also a few segments of hyper-lapse too, which make the video...

In this installment of Shooting Star, Jasmine shows a few tips on how to pose a couple on a wedding day. Incorporating behind-the-scenes footage from a recent wedding, Jasmine shows how she interacts with a couple to get the results she wants. One of the great tips is that instead of telling your clients how to pose, you encourage to interact with each other, so that the poses look more naturally and less like a “Simon says”...

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 week in New York, the temperature finally dropped down to the 20s, and I feel like it’s so cold outside I can’t even think straight. So when I see time-lapse videos that were shot in the areas where sub-zero is considered the norm, I have so much more respects for photographers who live there and go out to shoot time-lapse. Not only do you need to worry keeping yourself warm, but you also need to make sure your equipment...

The Moon landing conspiracy theories claim that some or all elements of the Apollo program and the associated Moon landings were hoaxes staged by NASA and members of other organizations. Various groups and individuals have made claims that the six manned landings (1969–1972) were faked and that the twelve Apollo astronauts did not walk on the Moon. The argument is that the technology to send men to the Moon was lacking or that the Van...

This is one of the most inspirational interviews I’ve seen in the photography industry. Photographer Gregory Heisler is a professional photographer known for his evocative portrait work often found on the cover of magazines, such as Time, for which he has produced a number of Man, Person, and People of the Year covers. He loves his job so much, he’d much rather stay home pulling an all-nighter working on his images than going...
