When discussing photography gear, Joe Edelman likes to say “Keep it simple, stupid.” That’s exactly what he does in this quick video tutorial that will teach you how to make dramatic portraits and beauty shots with one monolight or speedlight and a single reflector.

Here’s a photo shoot FAIL that pretty much seems inevitable in retrospect. In the 20-second clip, a woman on a beach in Rio de Janerio, Brazil strikes a mermaid-like pose for a photographer on some wet rocks along the ocean.

This is why it’s always important to have a camera handy, even when you’re having breakfast. The amazing video below shows a pair of humpback whales surfacing in waters near the Great Bear Lodge in British Columbia, Canada as guests snap away in their bathrobes.

The Rescued Film Project is an amazing online gallery of images that were captured on film between the 1930's and late 1990's. The fascinating and poignant video below chronicles the discovery and restoration of 31 rolls of undeveloped film shot by an American solidier during World War II. When you see the resulting photos, prepare to be stunned.

Michel d’Oultremont is a Belgian wildlife photographer who clearly understands that patience is a virtue when stalking wild beasts. In the dramatic video below you’ll follow d’Oultremont as he hunts for a money shot of a bison in the Carpathian Mountains of Romania.

Time-lapse videos are all the rage these days but there’s much that separates a decent time-lapse from a great one.

I don't just use clouds in many of my photographs; I actively pursue them for my images. If I hear a storm is a few days out, I'll travel to meet it. I'm not talking about hurricanes—I'll travel away from one of those; but give me an approaching garden-variety Florida storm, and I'll be there.
