A new and unique tripod system is joining the photography equipment market, featuring patented magnetic technology and many elements that can be customized by the user.

Aputure has released a number of cost-effective and innovative lights for photographers and videographers in the last few years. Now, one of their most popular lights (and most innovative for that matter) can come as a complete solution.

It is exciting to hear what his measure for success really was.

First things first, personal work is incredibly important. Client work often pays the bills but the most fundamental personal development you’re going to experience is when you take your vision and execute it. I would say that applies to just about anyone and certainly to photographers.
