Hello Everybody! It’s been a while since I posted… November… but not to worry. I’m in good spirits! The reason why the crickets are chirping here is that I’m super busy on other important projects in my personal and professional life. On a personal level, I’m moving house in a few weeks so you can imagine that the last few months or so have been hectic to say the [...]

A while back I had the pleasure of being part of a wonderful team of creators that all gave their time and talent for a very special photo shoot. My friend and talented makeup artist Catherine Lavoie, had a vision for doing a fashion shoot depicting the 5 stages of Joan of Arc’s (Jeanne d’Arc) life. She started by drawing colored sketches of her vision and from there assembled her team [...]

Christmas is almost upon us and you’re probably wondering, once again, what to get that special someone who never stops taking photos. So here’s my list of top books that make the perfect gift this holiday season! Many of the books are the same as last year because I just haven’t found any yet that are better. I’ll be focusing on the most obvious for an educational site like [...]

Beautiful Costa Rica! What can I say… I had a blast! 2 weeks of pure pleasure. If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook, you’ve seen some of my Costa Rica iPhone shots and video clips as my trip progressed. I even did a “before and after” Lightroom video tutorial on one of my photos. All I can say is WOW! If you love nature and wildlife, you’ll be like a kid in a candy [...]

A release candidate is the final step of Adobe’s testing process. Feedback they receive from release candidate users will be used to polish up the final versions of Lightroom 3.3 and Camera [...]

For those of you who follow me on Twitter or Facebook, you’ll know that I recently took a lovely trip to Costa Rica. Of course, traveling means travel photography (and video)! And, in Costa Rica, you focus on nature in all its grandeur! Of course the wildlife was at the forefront of my imagery including tons of birds but the landscape was also breathtaking. In this Lightroom video tutorial, [...]

Everyone around the world has probably heard of the Gulf Oil Spill by now. The biggest environmental disaster of all time. Most of us feel helpless in our homes not sure what to do or how to help. I know I felt that way. Once that feeling left, the first question that popped into my mind was “How can I help?”. After a few weeks of letting the idea mull in the back of my mind, I had an [...]

This is the third and last Lightroom 3 video tutorial that I’ll be posting on the new and upgraded features in this wonderful software. There are more new tweaks and upgrades but, for me, these three are the major ones that will affect the quality of my work. If you’d like more detailed tutorials on Lightroom 3, I invite you to sign up to any of the Lightroom 3 tutorials from Kelby Training. In [...]

As you guys know, I’m a big fan of Lightroom. And with Lightroom 3 out, I’ve discovered many cool tweaks and upgrades like super fast importing and disk deletion as well as image preview generation. They seem like little things but it just keeps time on your side just a bit more. On top of that, the guys over at Adobe added a great new feature in Lightroom 3 that I just love! Tethering. [...]

It’s been a while since my last video tutorial but I’m back with a microphone that actually works now. So I thought I would test it out on a new tutorial. Lightroom 3 just came out a few days ago and I couldn’t miss the opportunity to show you my favorite new upgrade. This isn’t a new feature in Lightroom 3. It’s an upgrade. But what an upgrade it is. It’s the [...]

It’s been a looooooooooooooong time since I posted a new tutorial on YPS.  2010 has been a changing year for me both personally and professionally.  I needed to refocus my photography career. Believe it or not, I was getting bored. I was loosing my passion. Yup, you read correctly. And why was that, I asked myself. I still love taking photos. I do it every day with my iPhone and I don’t [...]
