Life might be too short to wear boring clothes, but when you’re a fashion photographer, life is too short to produce boring editorials. Now, you can take care of some aspects during the shoot. Make sure you pose the models just so, pick the perfect environment, adjust the lighting, and give great instructions. However, you’re still going to need to edit your original shots.

Just returned from the adventure of a lifetime, a sojourn through the fantastic city of Quito, Ecuador and thence down the Napo River to the Amazon jungle ecolodge known as La Selva. Astonishing trip, filled with a sense of adventure and things as yet unseen, certainly for me. I’ll never be a wildlife photog, or a birder, but the wildly divergent color and life of this deep jungle was soulful and inspiring.

From visualization and ideation all the way through to actuation and execution, each step of this process takes skill and expertise.
