Charlie Sheen revealed a softer side behind the scenes of his Rolling Stone cover shoot with Annie Leibovitz Peggy Sirota, which brought back memories of his father Martin Sheen’s own shoot with Annie Leibovitz 32 years ago. “I thought, ‘I wanna do that; I wanna be on the cover of Rolling Stone,” recalled Sheen. “And now I am. I’m really moved by what today means to me … I can’t lie to you,...

THAT is precisely what Joel Grimes is going to do for you. Last time, Joel walked us through shooting in a tight place with a beauty dish. Now, he is going have a photoshoot with a 5-foot and 7-foot octadome. You could really see the...

This freaking mesmerizing video is a perfect example of Google Street View at its best. It’s the official video for “Chemin Vert” of electronic musician A Ghost Train. Chemin Vert is an immersive video of a trip on the road at supersonic speed spanning across five continents and four seasons. The video was made using panoramic frames from Google Street View from different parts of the world mapped as stereographic...

Ah yes, it’s finally up. You guys remember that cute girl who calls herself clickflashwhirr? She takes a headshot picture of her every day, and then puts them all into a stop-motion video. Last year, I featured the video of her 4.5-year mark. It’s been a year ever since, and she’s just released another video. It’s mind-boggling how surgically aligned her headshots are, and it’s amazing how much different her...

In case you missed it, San Francisco celebrated the 75th birthday party of the Golden Gate Bridge this passed weekend, Sunday, May 27th. I happen to live only about 2 hours from the city, and I had absolutely no idea this was going on. Different venues had different activities happening throughout the whole day.

Your work needs to be consistent, unique, and it needs to represent who and what you are. I know my work isn’t as consistent as I’d like it to be, and I still am trying to define my style of shooting and editing. I’m never a fan of...

This is one of the cutest marriage proposals I’ve seen. While I’m personally somewhat against proposals that involve other people, I really think they are cute regardless. Involving people means not only are you running a risk of her saying in front of everyone, but also means you’re using everybody as a tool to pressure her to say yes. On the other hand, if she says yes, everyone feels honored and excited to be there and...

Beauty light is one of the hardest lighting to master because of all the skin that needs to be properly lit. Today, Joel Grimes helps you control the shadows on the faces you’re capturing utilizing the beauty dish. By moving the light source up and down, or left and right, you could create different types of lighting. What’s more, you could also create the clamshell-lighting look by adding a white reflector on the bottom. I...

No, you did not read the post title wrong. The below video is a comparison of the Hasselblad H3D-22 medium format versus the Red Epic 5k camera. The guys from Fstoppers teamed up with Peter Hurley to have a headshot session using both two of the big guns in photography and cinematography to see if there’s any difference. One obvious drawback is instead of having a few hundred photos to go through after a regular shoot, you’d end...
