As a photographer and videographer/filmmaker, having a small LED light or two in my bag is essential. I’ve accumulated 5 or 6 over the past few years, keen to try out different brands and styles of lights. Recently, I came across a relatively new brand called Harlowe. They just launched a pocket-sized light called the Iris 5 Spectra.

Sony photographers and videographers have a choice when it comes to memory cards: stick with common and cheap SD cards or step up to the significantly faster, albeit pricier, CFexpress Type A format. Pergear has been making Type A more accessible for a little while now, and their latest Master CFexpress 4.0 Type A card aims to push performance boundaries further, at a great price. Does it deliver?

When portrait photographers discuss their toolkit, conversations inevitably center on camera bodies, prime lenses, and lighting equipment. Yet the accessories that truly separate professional portrait sessions from amateur snapshots often have nothing to do with those things. Creating compelling portraits requires managing human subjects, environmental challenges, and countless variables that sophisticated camera technology cannot address.

The Zeiss Otus ML 50mm f/1.4 brings the legendary optical quality of the Otus series into a mirrorless-friendly package. Here's a look at what you can expect.

The new Samyang AF 85mm f/1.8 P FE lens promises sharp portrait performance at a budget-friendly price point that could shake up your lens buying decisions. At just $449, this lightweight option targets photographers who want quality without breaking the bank.

The new Sony RX1R III has created quite a bit of drama since it was announced last week.

Lately, I’ve been evaluating my past projects and reconsidering my camera setup, questioning whether it truly serves my creative needs. The deeper I dig, the more I realize that camera setups tend to fall into two distinct categories: rigid and fluid. While rigid setups are usually technically correct and offer precise execution, fluid setups are the polar opposite, which tend to be a much better tool for creative intent and flexible execution.

When landscape photographers discuss their most important equipment, the conversation typically revolves around lenses, filters, and camera bodies. However, the gear that often determines whether you'll capture that perfect shot has nothing to do with megapixels or aperture settings. Success in outdoor photography depends heavily on practical preparation and survival-oriented thinking that keeps you safe, comfortable, and ready to work when nature delivers its most spectacular moments.

Today, we’ll have a look at the new Saramonic TC-NEO wireless timecode generator.

In an era in which solo creators and small teams can create the kind of work that used to require many more people and the resources of a well-funded studio, creatives often need to wear many hats to realize their artistic vision. Yet still, we insist on categorizing their creativity in narrow boxes.

When you're trying to get closer to wildlife subjects, lens choice becomes critical. So, which of these Sony lenses is right for you? 

Switching camera systems is one of the most nerve-wracking decisions you can make as a serious photographer. After 15 months of real-world testing, one photographer's bold move from medium format to full frame reveals surprising insights about what actually matters in the field.

As a practicing professional photographer, I evaluate my gear from time to time and make necessary upgrades to improve the efficiency of my workflow. After my recent crashing experience with the DJI Mini 4 Pro, I have decided to take a step back again to reevaluate whether this ultra-light drone is truly suitable for professional use or if I should just take the opportunity to get another drone.

The used camera market has never been better for photographers ready to make the jump to full frame without breaking the bank. While everyone chases the latest mirrorless releases, some of the most capable cameras ever made are sitting on shelves at prices that would have been unthinkable just a few years ago. Here are 10 full frame cameras that prove you don't need to spend a fortune to get professional results.

Who says high-capacity support gear needs to look rough and rugged? This tripod from Falcam offers outstanding payload and stability in a sleek and smooth design.

A lot of noise has surrounded the launch of Sony’s new compact camera, but what’s it like to actually use?

The 85mm f/1.4 lens market just got more interesting with Kase's entry. This represents a significant shift for a company traditionally known for filters, and it could reshape your options in the portrait focal length space.

The Kase 200mm f/5.6 MC Reflex Mirror lens creates those distinctive donut-shaped bokeh circles that either captivate you completely or leave you scratching your head. This manual focus mirror lens forces you to abandon your usual shooting habits and discover compositions you'd never consider with conventional glass.

I work in some pretty extreme environments. Day to day, I'm hopping on and off boats, climbing steep grades, and walking on some very slippery surfaces. Some days we're climbing mountains or glaciers, walking on shale beaches, dodging fur seals, watching out for polar bears, or even driving zodiacs. I'm also responsible for helping my guests navigate many of these same obstacles. On top of all this, I need to be ready at a moment's notice to snap a breaching whale, sparring polar bears, a mobbed eagle, or a leopard seal degloving a penguin. How? With help from Peak Design's Capture Clips.

No grand mountain vistas or stunning Renaissance architecture near you? No problem. It doesn’t mean you can’t go out with your camera and capture some great images. There are three exercises—or projects—I like to do in my local towns or when I travel. They're a lot of fun. And a huge bonus is they do help make you a better photographer too, because they help you to see. Really see.

Professional photography has a dirty secret that nobody wants to acknowledge: if you're not careful, it can destroy your body. While we obsess over megapixels, dynamic range, and the latest autofocus algorithms, we've collectively ignored the elephant in the room—the brutal physical reality of what it means to make a living behind the lens.

Wide angle zoom lenses face intense competition in the f/2.8 market, with manufacturers constantly pushing boundaries to offer more range and better performance. The Tamron 16-30mm f/2.8 Di III VXD G2 enters this crowded field and challenges both Sigma's 16-28mm and Sony's premium G Master options.

Landscape photography with a telephoto lens completely shifts how you approach a scene. Instead of sweeping vistas, you're chasing tighter compositions and fleeting details that wider lenses miss.

Typically, when a product is launched by one of the big manufacturers, a slew of YouTubers receive units a couple of weeks beforehand so that there are reviews ready to start generating presale orders. For Sony’s brand-new RX1R III, that didn’t happen. Why?

You can never have too many wide angle lens options. Different uses require different capabilities, and this new prime option is more versatile than it seems.
