Wish List II
Posted in Blog by jabari on May 17, 2012
My first “Wish List” post is a bit outdated. many things have changed since then, both within my own realm and within the photography gear market as a whole. I took more of a “money is no object” approach before, but this time around I want to build a list that is fairly obtainable. As [...]

Nikon vs Canon
Posted in Blog by jabari on May 7, 2012
This is by far one of the most debated topics between hobby, semi-pro, and professional photographers alike. I know some who’d rather give up shooting than switch from Canon to Nikon or visa versa. It’s silly for sure to say the least, but I’ve participated in the occasional ribbing of my Canon toting counterparts from [...]

Posted in Blog by jabari on May 6, 2012
I’ve seen this video floating around lately. It pretty much sums up what you are really asking when you offer a photographer “exposure” rather than pay…

Philippe Kerlo & Patrick Hall
Posted in Blog by jabari on February 14, 2011
I’d seriously fallen behind in reading my photography related RSS feeds. While catching up with them over the weekend I came across two outstanding videos on FStoppers.com. One was a super creative beauty shoot by Philippe Kerlo and the other was an over the top wakeboard studio shoot by Patrick Hall. If you’re a photographer [...]

H4D Review, well sorta!
Posted in Blog by jabari on April 23, 2010
For the past few years I’ve debated on whether digital medium format cameras are really worth the money, considering the most expensive SLR to date with all the trimmings is about $8000 (Nikon D3X) while a stripped down lower to middle of the line digital medium format starts at $10,000 and goes astronomically higher from [...]

Wish List…
Posted in Blog by jabari on March 5, 2010
I’ve been horrible at blogging…period! Not just here but on my personal and business blogs as well! It’s not so much that I don’t like to write, or even that I don’t have anything to say at vthe moment. I’ve just been plain lazy about it! Today that ends (or so I tell myself yet [...]

The Ugly “A”
Posted in Blog by jabari on October 9, 2009
Many people that I’ve met who are taking up photography have a hard time understanding the ugly “A” (aperture), and how to use it. Hopefully my explanation will shed some light… Whenever you half or double the amount of light in a photo it is referred to as a “stop”. There are three ways to [...]

Baby I Like It RAW
Posted in Blog by jabari on August 26, 2009
A very common question that I’m asked by other photographers is if I shoot in RAW or JPEG. To be honest, I’m still not sure why people continue to compare the two, as they are apples and oranges serving two completely different purposes…

The Model Release: Likeness vs Copyright
Posted in Blog by jabari on August 16, 2009
There is a TON of misinformation out there about model releases. Many photographers and models alike are clueless as to why model releases are required, let alone the details involved. I’ve been asked about them time and time again, so I figured a great topic for one of my first blog posts would be to [...]
