Broncolor vs Profoto Is Profoto the best, or is Broncolor a better option? A really cool video showcasing the flash duration for both and the properties which may make Broncolor the better choice for those deciding between the two! Now, I just need the money and I am ready to go!… anyone?

I saw this and wanted to share it with the community.  If you ask yourself why ARTISTS (Photographers, Designers, Musicians, Tattoo artists, Painters, Makeup artists, or...

The Anatomy of Clean Retouching
I was recently approached and asked to do an analysis and breakdown of this before/after by photographer, Hennadiy Kvasov. Instead of going step by step about the video in particular (as I can’t speak on behalf of Hennadiy’s way of what he did), I want to elaborate on the anatomy of a clean retouch so it allows you to take away something that can be usable in your own workflow. It...

The Simpsons House
Whether you like the famous cartoon or not, this replica of the Simpson’s fictional home  is delightful.  It really is in the details.  The house was made for a contest sponsored by Pepsi and Fox in 1997.  Sadly, it had to be repainted shortly thereafter to comply with the homeowner’s association of Springfield South Valley Ranch subdivision, in Henderson, Nevada.
