Photography

Today, photographers are spending more time at their computers than they are behind their cameras. While all that editing software is amazing, this also means that a lot of time is being spent away from the customers and making more money. Jeff Cable, who is one of our most requested speakers, has come up with a very efficient workflow process for anyone shooting a lot of images.

Photographer, author and teacher Syl Arena introduces Canon’s Speedlite line in this B&H video, including the 600EX-RT, which he discusses in depth. Arena points out its new technologies and how they have improved slave shooting and group-mode work.

This B&H video is like a pleasant cruise down the Hudson River. On second thought, it is a pleasant cruise down the Hudson River (then up the East River and around Manhattan), with photographer Moose Peterson and more than 400 photographers, as they all enjoy a beautiful day capturing the sights of the city—from the water.

Lisa Devlin discusses how she found a way to blend her style of shooting (alternative rock) into a saturated market (weddings) and make it work for all parties concerned. By finding clients (and letting clients find her) that share her quirky but intimate style, she has been able to build a successful business.

Nautical photographer Onne van der Wal speaks about his experiences photographing a wide variety of scenes on and around water. Throughout his talk, van der Wal intertwines personal stories with tips and ideas to help photographers improve their own shooting in maritime situations.

In this video Mike Bubolo, Senior Technical Representative for Sony, introduces Sony’s newest cameras from the fall 2012 season. We're treated to an exposition of the NEX-5R, NEX-6 and SLT-A99 cameras, as well as a host of new lenses in both the A and E mount types, and some other accessories, too.

In this video, Larry Becker takes a look at the Canon EOS-1D X, a new, phenomenonally fast, accurate focusing, full frame flagship DSLR that shoots up to 12 frames per second while continuously focusing, to guarantee the best possible performance and yields more "keepers" for action shooters and pros.

The writing staff at B&H collectively produced more than 120 holiday articles in late 2012, and the information they contain is still incredibly useful, even though the decorations have come down and many gifts have been exchanged.

National Geographic Photographer Michael Melford presents a two-part talk: "‘Hidden Alaska: Bristol Bay and Beyond," images from his most recent book published by National Geographic, and "Qualities of Light, Composition, and What’s in my Bag."

Mark Fisher gives a two-part presentation at B&H: Part One highlights Fisher’s work as one of the most sought-after and published ski photographers in the world and, specifically, his work photographing the top professional skiers in one of the most demanding and beautiful natural environments—Alaska.

Inspired by fashion and fairy tales, photographer Claire Rosen constructs whimsical worlds, designs costumes and captures beauty with her camera. As both a fine art and commercial photographer, Rosen explores the dualities that exist in life. By working with themes and imagery popularized by fables and children’s stories, Rosen investigates universal truths while appealing to our desire for fantasy.

Scottish-born photojournalist Harry Benson has had a 60-year career photographing many of the icons of American politics and life. His fifty-minute presentation is, in many ways, too short to fully grasp his reach into the American soul.

In this exciting presentation, Harold Davis will demonstrate his unique vision, which blends painstaking craft and respect for the aesthetic traditions of art and photography with an informed attitude toward the tools of digital photography and today’s latest technologies.

Many of us dream of going to faraway exotic locations as part of a photographic expedition, but for those of us who are unable to do so, or who want to know what this might entail, this seventy-five minute presentation by Ralph Lee Hopkins is the next best thing.

In this seventy-minute presentation, photographer Shannon Richardson takes the audience through the entire process of self-publishing.
