Tips & Techniques

While I am not a Landscape Photographer per say, landscape photography techniques are critical to my work as a commercial photographer. When not ensconced in a studio, I am, of course, working in nature so finding a great background is of paramount importance. Depending upon the concept I’m attempting to deliver, my choice of background may be a primary or a secondary element, but it is always the foundation upon which everything else is staged. Once I realized that I could not build anything of quality on a flimsy foundation, my work improved immeasurably.

In their natural habitat, animals are as beautiful as they are elusive and uncooperative. We’d all love to go on safari in Africa, or archipelago-hopping in the Galapagos. Who doesn’t envy National Geographic photographers who travel the world to celebrate every living creature?
