The App Developing Photographer

Overpower Daylight

Rick Sammon has said that he specializes in not specializing, and I am seeing that approach to photography more often. Today’s guest is Will Cadena, and his portfolio include Weddings, Bar / Bat Mitzvahs, Corporate Events, Commercial work, and Cinematography, and the entire body of work is world class.

Will brings a sense of space to his images, with subjects that pop off the background. His lighting never leaves the subjects without their environment, while at the same time keeping the background in it’s place. I’m browsing his site while writing this, and there is just an amazing richness to his work. Needless to say, picking an image for this show was difficult.

Having started taking an interest in photography at a young age, today he is a sought after speaker. He has educated audiences at the Canon Experience Center, and the Fundy Inspiration Workshop to inspire Disney’s Fine Art photographers at Disney World. He’s spoken at PhotoPlus NY, and is a Speaker & International Judge at WPPI. From Imaging USA to the Vegas Symposium Will Cadena is helping to advance the creative community.

His client list ranges from FJ Westcott and Think Tank Photo to Synology, Wacom, Sekonic and Celebrate. From Shinzo Abe – the Prime Minister of Japan, to Johnny Depp, Derek Jeter, Michael Bloomberg or Timothy Gunn, it seems Will can work in any situation regardless of pressure.

Join photographer Will Cadena and me for a chat about everything from shooting on location to overpowering the sun, and as we dissect how he made his beautiful fashion photo, on this Behind the Shot.

Healthy Eating on the Road

Life on the road can be great for many reasons, but it can also take a toll on your body, if you aren’t careful. Eating on the road usually consists of finding something convenient – which usually doesn’t mean healthy. We can help you take care of yourself, while you are working to take care of your family.

College Wrestling Photography

A few days ago Jeremy Lanthorn (@Snackem on Twitter) sent me a guest suggestion:
@stevebrazill check out @LeviVentura_ and this shot of @GableSteveson at the NCAA wrestling tournament. Would make a great BTS episode.
I get a lot of guest suggestions, and while I reach out to most of them, many never answer back. In this case, I replied to the tweet, Levi Ventura answered back almost instantly, and here we are with a new show.

I wasn’t familiar with Levi before this, but I hope more people will be after this show. Levi Ventura is a 22 year old college student majoring in graphic design. He has only been working as a freelance photographer & videographer since 2019, but since that time he has been creating content for Olympic Freestyle Wrestling Gold Medalist Jordan Burroughs’ social media. Ranging from high school sports to the NCAA, this young creative has been creating such fantastic work in a very short period of time.

Along with a clear passion for sports photography and video, Levi has also been focusing on working with small businesses and brands to help provide quality content for their social media sites. Based on looking through his site, I’d expect big things from Levi to happen quickly.

His client list already includes names like Asics and USA Wrestling, and it’s his NCAA wresting work that really jumps out – yes, a jump joke for today’s image.

Join photographer Levi Ventura and me as we explore his composite image of Gable Steveson doing his famous backflip, after winning his final match at his last NCAA wrestling tournament, on this Behind the Shot.
