This is a film shoot I did about 2 years ago. I’m by no means an expert when it comes to film, I’ve only ever shot about 20 rolls worth of it. But this particular roll of Ektrachrome100 on a dark rainy day in Hong Kong is my favorite roll I’ve shot...

If you prefer to watch instead of reading, you can choose to watch the video I just uploaded above. I think a good way to improve your own photography is to analyze why exactly you like the photos that you do like. Saving photos on Instagram is a great way to be able...

End of year is a great time to look back and reflect. Last year, I wrote an article about all the things I learned about photography in 2018, and while it got me banned on Reddit’s r/photography for self promotion, it was well received in general. It’s now...

I’ve just made a “video essay” version of this blog post, so if you’d prefer to watch instead, here’s the video. Or if not, continue reading below. Street photographers are a bunch of weirdos. We roam the streets with a camera, pointing...

I want to ramble a bit about the current state of Instagram, because I’ve been having these conversations recently with friends and myself inside my head. I’ve been trying to find the right balance between posting stuff that is true to myself, and good...
