“On the surface, BIG RED is the story of one man’s unique photographic process in today’s world of digital gratification,” writes Taproot Pictures, which created the film. “It’s also a timeless story for anyone who grew up feeling out of place.” from https://petapixel.com/2018/06/30/big-red-a-short-film-about-tintype-photographer-steven-glynn/ I’ve been thinking about photography and personal style and the different ways to teach it. I’m trying to help, share and guide people along their way in finding their unique photographic style. Seeing if I can find that quick fix, that beaten path someone else has already made for us. Sadly over the many years of reflection and research, I’ve found that there is no blue pill. Coming to terms with this, I’ve been looking inwards on how I found my own style. I’ve been sharing my experiences and how I came to it in hopes it will help someone else out there, but that is only one aspect of the puzzle. Teaching one person, myself is one thing, but teaching others is another. Taking into consideration that we are all different, we are all unique in our own way with different personalities, religions, political views, sexuality, beliefs, morels, the list could go on till the end of time. What I’m saying is there is no one else like you. You are one in infinity. So my dilemma is if you’re unique and I’m unique, how does one share with the other a way to find their own uniqueness? It’s almost a conundrum or paradox. But here it is, I’ll try my best to share with you how to be unique in your photography work. Step one be yourself. Step two… there is no step two. The only way to find your own unique style in photography is to be yourself. Find out and know who you are down to the very last aesthetic and moral grain. I almost wish it wasn’t as simple as this, but it is. The hard part is the slow grind, from the day in and day out. Making minor adjustments and changes to what you like about your work and developing it slowly over time. And that time self-reflecting on your work isn’t a weekend or in one workshop, it’s over a lifetime. Yes, you heard me right, finding your style in some respects takes a lifetime to develop. This is because your style is a reflection of yourself. As an individual, you will slowly change and develop from experiences and interactions with the world around you. These experiences will ever so slightly or drastically change your photographic aesthetic. And through attention, practice and time your own unique style will slowly shin brighter and brighter. There comes a point in time where you will have to stop looking at other peoples work and start looking at your own, and focusing on the things you like and dislike about your process. The hard part and will definitely deter people from being unique is diving deep into self-reflection. Understanding yourself and who you are, what you like, dislike, believe in and are attracted to. Trust in yourself and all the decisions you make, because everything you do, try, and disregard will contribute to finding your style. Once you know yourself and all the positive and negative attributes you can start putting what you know about yourself into your work. I can’t tell you who you are, that’s up to you to determine and figure out. It’s one of the greatest things about being alive, the journey of self-discovery. Take your time, remember it’s the journey, not the destination that makes up our story. What I’m saying is at this very moment, time and self-reflection are the best steps, methods, and magic pill that you can use to find and develop your own style. Because what makes your photographic vision unique… is you. About the author: A.B Watson is a New Zealand photographer based in Auckland.

Matus started out studying architecture and graphic design, but his passion switched over to street photography after he purchased a Fujifilm X10 camera online. Nowadays, Matus uses a Fujifilm X-E2S with a 35mm f/2 lens and a neutral density filter, which allows him to shoot at slower shutter speeds without overexposing his daytime shots. Matus usually shoots at apertures between f/8 and f/10, adding a little camera movement blur in addition to the motion blur within the scenes. His exposure times are usually around 1 second. By keeping his lens fixed on a single person in the scene, Matus is able to capture them with more sharpness and clarity than all the other moving passersby, allowing his subjects to stand out as the main focus of each shot. You can find more of Matus’ work on his website and Instagram.

Food photographer Skyler Burt of We Eat Together made this 5.5-minute tutorial on one way to freeze time and space. Levitating food is often seen in advertisements, allowing the viewer to see the individual ingredients of things like sandwiches and burgers. “It’s really not that difficult of an image to create,” Burt says. “All you really need is something to rest your food on.” For his food support, Burt uses two light stands and 24-gauge steel wire. You’ll need to shoot three versions of the scene: one with the wires and food in it, one with just the person holding the plate, and one with only the background. The food-less photos allow you to more easily remove the wires in Photoshop. Here’s what the finished photo looks like once everything has been cleaned up in Photoshop: You can find more of Burt’s photography tutorials on his YouTube channel, We Eat Together. from https://petapixel.com/2018/06/29/how-to-shoot-photos-of-flying-food/ Iceland is booming. More than 2 million tourists visit Iceland every year. This comes as no surprise. As I am regularly guiding tours in Iceland, I have visited the country quite a few times over the years and the beauty of the country is simply out of this world. The moment you step out of Reykjavik is the moment you enter some a fantasy movie with beautiful scenery on every corner. For people who have not visited Iceland yet, here are a bunch of images that just might convince you to. Iceland has an insane coastline with high cliffs all around the island. Among those rough cliffs lies a great contrast: one of the cutest birds you will ever see in this world: the puffins! But Iceland also has a lot of sheep and horses that you can find next to almost every road. Inland you can find big and small waterfalls each with its own unique characteristics. Iceland is known for its geothermal activity areas. They look like something from another planet. You will find amazing rock formations on every corner. It doesn’t matter in which season you go, as the landscape always looks beautiful. Iceland’s most iconic mountain is shaped like an arrowhead. It’s called Kirkjufell (church mountain). Although it looks different from every angle. In the center of the country is the so-called ‘Highlands’. The weather is always changing here. It is the rough part of Iceland and beautiful to explore. Fewer tourists, rougher terrain! Of course, Iceland has a lot of ice! It has big ice chunks from the glaciers all year, even in summer. And of course, Iceland has the northern lights in the winter months! Something a lot of people visit the country for. I’m looking forward to going back each year even though I have seen a lot of the country. Yes, it gets crowded nowadays, but there are still lots of things to explore if you know where to go. And with the unpredictable weather, each visit is very different. P.S. If you’re interested in joining me on a trip, check out my photo tours. I still have space for September 2018.
