Photography isn't always about the photos. You could take the most amazing photo on the planet, but if people don't think you're a legit photographer, they still won't hire you. Over the years
Professional photographers have had to deal with a lot, especially when they've been in this business for a decade or more. Because of this, we've come up with workaround phrases that
I'm a member of a local photography Facebook page here in Orlando, and today I saw this graphic:
When I was a kid I went to my local comic book shop with my dad. When we arrived, the place was packed full of people because of a comic book signing that was going on. As we tried to walk in the crammed space, we saw a man dressed up in a homemade Batman costume waiting in line, clutching his comic books. My dad looked at him
So I recently played 'The Order: 1886'. When I first saw the trailer for this game, I was really excited. The graphics looked amazing, and it had a cinematic quality to it that I love. When we take photos, even if they're
So Rich and I are ramping up our social Media efforts. Over the post couple of years our updates have been strong in some places, but pathetic in others.

A company that's really impressed me lately is Telltale Games. They're a game development company, and they have an awesome business model. Not only do they maintain their own brand extremely well, they take on all sorts of IP's and have to create games that match the pre-existing brands.
This Batman Arkham Knight Scarecrow cosplay blew me away. The photography is by Rich Johnson and the mask and cosplay are by Matt Sprunger.
