I heard about Michael Shainblum’s photography on The Landscape Photography podcast recently. If you are looking for some inspiration in your photography, you will definitely want to check him out.
Michael has a number of great tutorials on Youtube for free, which you can view below. One is on shooting in less than ideal conditions, which we all run into way too often. Michael specializes in Landscape photography, doing a lot of night and low light photography. He has some good information on shooting Seascape photos as well. Pay particular attention to his video titled “How I Developed My Style in Photography” if you are looking for inspiration, and developing your own personal style.
Over at his website, http://www.shainblumphoto.com/ you will find inspirational work. Explore the projects he has published there, and spend some time watching the time lapse videos that he has published. Once you have gotten your creative juices flowing, you will be able to access both his free tutorials from Youtube, as well as a number of premium tutorials.
It is hard to set yourself apart in the photography world today. Years ago, the cost of entry was high. Getting a good image required expensive equipment and a lot of work honing the skills needed to use it. Today, everyone has a camera in their pocket capable of making stunning images and videos. And you can publish them for the world to see with very little effort. The bar has been raised. Michael Shainblum shows us that you can take your creativity to another level, providing a creative vision, and tutorials to help us master some of the techniques he is using.
