Great how to. but I have one small question. Where do you aim the speedlights in the V-flats? the ceiling , into the flats, of bounce them off of the back...
Small Flash into Big Flash: Cheap and Easy
First off, to be square, I swiped this technique from Gilles Bensimon, the legendary fashion shooter. I was invited onto his set in Paris years ago, when I was shooting my first cover for National Geographic. It was an amazing adventure, a story on sight. Can you imagine? It was like being given a grant...
Mush!
Heading north. Following the, uh, light:-) Actually, it’s great weather up there now in Iceland, and heading for my first visit to a country that has been on the bucket list for a long time. You can check out the specifics here.
It’ll be fun. I’m always jazzed by a new place, and will be pushing...
My Friend, Donald
Happily, I was in Donald’s company last week in Santa Fe, when a storm came up. Wind was rattling through the old penitentiary, speaking in tongues, maybe in the voices of those who died so viciously there. I looked outside, and looked at the sky. Then I went looking for Donald.
Donald and I go back...
The Sounds of Silence….
Just flew Frontier Airlines for the first time. They did a good job. Counter agent was very nice and didn’t even give me the evil eye when I approached laden with 8 pieces to check and just me traveling. Everything was pretty smooth, though, as is typical of every airline, a little tight in coach....
Beauty Everywhere….
Finished for the year with workshops at my favorite aging hulk of a building down by the Hudson. Had a studio there for about six or seven years, and for a while, during a very turbulent time in my life, I actually lived there. With the trains, there was no need for an alarm clock....
Advanced Flash…..
The excitement!
The ecstasy!
The agony!

Thanks to the Gang in London!
Did a Kelby Tour stop in London on Friday, and honestly, it was a blast. Had good talent to work with on stage, and the audience couldn’t have been a nicer group of folks. They even stuck with me for one situation as I once again tilted at the TTL windmill with virtually no chance...
Small Flash in Paradise, Part 2
Heading to the Islands again this year, with bud Scott Kelby. Had a blast last year, and I continue to be in love with this piece of the Caribbean I have been blessed to visit now for many years. Scott came last year, and was so blown away, he’s joining us earlier this time, shooting...
The Lost Boys
Back to Yellow Border dispatches tomorrow. This was just too much fun. We did our first advanced lighting workshops yesterday, and had a hoot. We have a rotating staff everyday of 7, which for a class of 15 folks, is a lot. All are, uh, talented in their own way. They tend to be in...
Dispatches
On a plane….where else to write? Got to my seat, did the usual. Cameras in the overhead quickly, to lay claim to that real estate. Overhead space has become so valuable to get to first that, come boarding time, the gate agent might as well have a starter’s gun instead of a PA system.
Other bag….pull...
