Sometimes it's hard to actually show how budgets effect photo and video production value. In this example, Sandwich Video was asked to create three separate campaign videos about the same product - each on separate budgets of $1,000, $10,000, and $100,000.

While I don't do video, I found this to be a really helpful explanation of how a budget impacts what we (as creatives) are able to accomplish for our clients.

Can you tell the difference?

I found these videos to be extremely helpful. What do you think?

This video is for people who are new to photography and feel like it takes an overwhelming amount of time to edit photos. Or maybe it's for people who aren't newbies, but feel like they want to know how to reduce post-processing time.

Don't forget to check out my video about how I edit in Lightroom!

I wrote a post about what I am "fixing"when I edit photos, but I thought it would be even more helpful to SHOW you! Today, I'm sharing a screen recording of me doing my work in Lightroom.

Don't want to spend money on a reflector? Here's how to make one at home - for free!

Apologies for the video quality - I wanted to take a helpful clip from another video I recently made for a workshop! :) Also, I shared some additional reflector tips for portraits in another blog post.

Ever wonder what the difference is between a speedlight and a strobe? Each is a type of flash that could be used for various purposes. A tiny intro is featured on today's PhotoVlog!

Gels are used with flash to add color to photos - think of it like a filter. Today, I'll explain how simple it is to start getting creative with color!

Links, as promised!

• Large gels
• MagMod gels (used with MagGrip)
• Gel swatches

(If you're just getting started with flash, check out this video first.)

​If you're indoors and feel like you can't get great natural lighting, head to a window and use a reflector - no flash involved!

Reflectors make a HUGE difference - and are a relatively low-cost way to achieve lighting needs.

​If you're looking for a reflector, you've got options!

• $100: 60"x40" reflector (the one in this video)
• $30: 30" circular reflector
• free: wrap foil around a piece of cardboard :)

A big thanks to Megan (owner of Makers Social) for being a model and helping create the video. :)
