Great for photographers 🤩

Rain is free light ☔️ Shoot low, find a puddle, expose for the highlights.

Apple shows its first touchscreen MacBook Pro tomorrow. OLED, true blacks, Dynamic Island. For grading on the road that OLED panel is the real news. The touch part? I'll keep my fingerprints off my monitors. Would you tap your timeline?

Looking into buying my first own film camera 🎞️ Which one should I get? Preferably AF but rangefinder can as well.

Modern films don't look flat because of digital. They look flat because everyone shoots safe for post. Decide the look before you roll: motivated practicals, real contrast, shadows you're allowed to lose.

Sigma FP2: full frame, 6K open gate, ProRes RAW, in a body smaller than most of my lenses. $2,199, out Nov 11. For hotel and car shoots where a big rig changes how people act, this is the one I'm watching.

Riverside just launched AI agents that prep, edit, clip and publish your videos. Good. Let AI take the rough cut and the scheduling. The frame, the light and the call on which take feels right is still the job. That part doesn't get automated.

Your agents can now by my iPhone presets 😉

Clocks went back last night, so golden hour now starts around half four. iPhone tip: tap the sky, slide exposure down a stop, shoot 0.5x from low for long shadows. Presets Part II drops Tuesday.

Chanel No. 5 with Nicole Kidman cost $33M in 2004. Real sets, no CGI, a rebuilt Times Square. Big budgets aren't the lesson. Building the world for real is. Even on small shoots I'd rather build the set than fix it in post. A few from recent ones:

80% of new cars are now grey, white or black. Shooting them for brands, here's what makes a grey car pop: 1. Low sun, raking across the panels 2. A coloured backdrop it can reflect 3. Polariser to control the glare 4. Push the colour into the scene, not the paint

Small change of plans: iPhone Presets – Part II drops this Thursday instead. A couple more days of fine-tuning so every preset is right. Worth the wait, promise.

I honestly believe that there can be photo editing apps that are better than Lightroom!

Forget Rimowa, buy this instead

Past work for @DJIGlobal Absolute fun!

Fiverr lost 22% of its active buyers this year. Freelancers are asking where the work went. Running DŌC solo, my take: platforms sell you by the hour. Direct clients buy a point of view. Build the portfolio, the relationships and a name. That's the platform.

Frankfurt marathon, done. 3:00:45 official 🏃 Strava had me at 2:58:39 for 42.2 km. Just ran 465 m extra weaving through the crowd. Training for it next to running a solo agency taught me one thing: consistency beats intensity.

What I try to get into my Powergrade

iPhone Presets – Part II drops tomorrow. Same phone, same light. Just a look that feels like film instead of a filter.

Still not for EU
