Something new on the tubes. Shift lens for Architecture. https://youtu.be/5eZmuQ8_Pw4

Tilt-Shift lenses perform a little magic when shooting architecture. The SHIFT function in particular can transform a scene that a typical wide angle can't handle. In this video I walk through some practical applications when shooting architecture and accommodation, and take a close look at the TT Artisan 17mm TS F4 ASPH and why it fills this niche so well.

This lens has been released for mirrorless mounts including Sony, Nikon, Leica, Canon and Fuji GFX.

So here's a thought experiment to do with lies and photography. In the thumbnail image, we see a man and his son approaching the water wall at Melbourne's NGV. Can you spot a few potential "lies" that may be hiding in the B+W tones?

New video on my tubes: "Every Photo Is a Lie (And Why That Makes It Art)" https://youtu.be/a7wlT4gzfIo

Reality and honesty are virtues we think of when it comes to photography, but how many of us see the camera as a tool of art more than documentary?

In this essay I explore a handful of ideas from Susan Sontag's book "On Photography" and the difference between telling the truth and telling stories. Ultimately, photography is always art, so why not embrace the craft of visual storytelling and make your photography even stronger.

Something for the Micro Four Thirds nerds out there. Laowa 6mm F2 manual focus lens for some ultra-wide photography joy. I enlisted my good friend Ian Rolfe to share his expertise on the topic.

New video this week, about buying the camera you love instead of buying the camera that some dude on youtube said was better.
