In conventional food photo setups, the photographers work with stylists to prepare the food, then they light it carefully to ensure each item looks both natural and appealing. But as a travel photographer, you don’t have the luxury of professional stylists or studio lighting. You have to work with ambient light and photograph...

If you're like me, you've got photos strewn over a variety of storage devices: local, on the web, maybe even some off-line storage. Keeping track of these images is a real pain. I've got multiple image editing apps: Lightroom, Photoshop, Luminar Neo, and some dedicated astronomy editing apps. I'm also a former Aperture user (groan).

Picking up from last week where we covered renaming catalogs, folders, and collections, let’s run through the rest of the files you might want to rename.

The repeating snowfields in addition to the colorful peaks create more visual variety. While including the sky keeps it more literal, the beautiful colors, shapes and textures of the clouds were hard to ignore, so I included them as well.” Want to...
