A normal USB cable is only strong enough to send data through 10-12 feet of it’s length, and if you try to go further, you’ll try likely drop your tether connection. Enter active USB repeaters, which solve that very problem. Even better is these guys are bright orange, so we don’t trip over ’em.

A leap in the desert! From the introductory campaign for the Nikon Z 9. Will C Styles articulates explosive athleticism in the air. A premier Las Vegas performer, he is able to physically make beautiful shapes in mid flight. Shot with the Z 9 and Nikkor 100-400mm lens. Hi-speed sync with the Profoto Pro 11 power packs, a formidable source of lighting power.

To visit Tuscany is to visit one of the most amazingly beautiful, serene places on earth. Verdant vineyards, astonishing vistas and architecture, legendary food and wine. Grateful for a memorable week with dear friend and fellow instructor Tamara Lackey, and an incredibly talented group of photographers and wonderful companions! A super fun time all-around. Highlight here was a fantastic photo shoot day thanks to Drive the Vintage providing classic Vespas and Fiats and beautiful Italian models, complete with scarves, sunglasses and a sense of 60’s Italy. Staging was at the picturesque vineyard Fratelli Urbani, with a Fiat converted to an on-location pizza oven! We experienced the romance of Italy with a stay at Villa Pozzolo, as close to an original Tuscan villa as anyone will find. There we languished in the slow tempo of the countryside, as continuous smells of boundless, traditional meals being prepared mixed with the country breezes. There is beauty everywhere in Tuscany when you put your camera to your eye. For those interested in portraiture, landscape, macro work, food, wine, and relaxing camaraderie, as well as advancing your photo skills, there is no more complete workshop!

The light goes on! Beautiful thing about photography is you can make a picture of an imagining in your head, and it becomes real. If you have a wonderful cooperative model such as @ambertutton, of modeling fame in the UK. We’ve worked together for about 10 years and when we did this she looked at me and asked, “Joe, have you finally gotten tired of photographing my face?” Never! Amber is beautiful and terrific to work with, always up for a photo adventure. Shot this in conjunction with @profoto, in the UK some years ago. Just did a webcast which lives now on YouTube about fueling a creative life for #brookdaleliving. LINK IN BIO⬆️

Heading to Italy! Will be in Florence for a bit and then in a historic villa in the Tuscan countryside. Doing a workshop in this beautiful place w fellow @nikonusa ambassador @tamaralackey. The whole workshop produced in magnificent style by @acahillmac. Landscape, portraits, cityscapes, color, light and lens for a solid week in one of the most beautiful places on earth. This fashion frame shot from a trip years back in Milan in partnership with @manfrottoimaginemore as the Duomo looms beautifully in the background.

A photo walk in Gdansk! A truly wonderful and historically important city in Poland. I was invited by the camera store, @cyfrowe_pl, to participate in the ŚwiatłoSiła Photo-Video festival (Festival of Light) which was enormously popular. What a fantastic experience! I enjoy the company of fellow photographers, and the crowds were friendly, passionate and gracious. I posted a shot from our photo walk using nothing but hard light. Folks asked for other shots and techniques from our walk down by the docks with the amazing @_frostmagdalena. Big Thanks to @zieniuphoto and @filipkowalkowski who were terrific hosts, and we all collaborated so well. A blog about the event to come!

Just back from Poland and the ŚwiatłoSiła Photo & Video festival organized by the incredible team @cyfrowe_pl.
The event (The Festival of Light) was a terrific, energetic celebration of photography, attended in large numbers. I had three events, and this particular frame is available light in harsh sun during our Photo Walk. Loved the Photo Walk as it took place as a meander through the old, historic docks and cranes of Gdansk. Happy to have had the opportunity to visit Gdansk, still an important port city in Poland and the birthplace of Solidarity, the labor movement that shook all of Eastern Europe and the Communist bloc at that time. Lech Walesa was a dockworker turned union activist who championed the rights of the workers to strike, and changed Poland forever.
Our model @_frostmagdalena was wonderful and easygoing, giving all the photographers nonstop look after look that was captivating and beautiful. Magda made excellent use of posing in the strong sunlight!

Again, this day. Always remember.
The ever striking muse @nwilmshurstx locks onto the camera. Classic beauty combo of an overhead light with a low fill. No background light, as she is only about eight feet in front of one of the @manfrottoimaginemore collapsible backdrops, which are super handy when using someone’s living room as a location - which is the case here! Over-under light, and add a lovely subject! Natalie is currently a highlighted performer at the @royalpalacekirrwiller in Kirrwiller, France. Looks like a spectacular show!
