My photography has been in limbo for over a year. Something I've really struggled to do is see the world differently than how I've been photographing it for the last 7-8 years. It sounds a lot easier than it is. Something I've been doing over the past year is attempting to go out with just a single camera and lens, but I've never been able to go on a proper photography trip without my bag full of gear.
Until now. In this video I talk about how I've been struggling to see the world in ways that make me excited. How my photography, or at the very least my enjoyment of the photography has suffered for my lack of creativity. I decide to leave the house with just the Fujifilm X-E5 and a lens. Thats it. Forcing me to see differently in an attempt to find what else is out there. To hopefully be excited again.

I was lucky enough to get delivery of my Fujifilm X-E5 plus the Fujifilm XF 23mm f2.8 right as it came out thanks to B&H. Iโve had a chance to spend a full day using the camera, thus giving me a really good first impressions of the camera. Normally I wouldnโt talk about a camera after only using it for a single day but considering how similar (nearly identical) this camera is to the Fujifilm X100VI, I feel more at ease giving you my thoughts. To summarize: I really wanted to love this camera but there are a few design choices that leave me questioning if they actually used the camera before manufacturing it.
Considering Sophia and I have a Fujifilm X100VI in our possession and the striking similarities of the two cameras, itโs hard not to directly compare the two, specifically with the new Fujifilm XF 23mm f2.8 attached. Itโs clear this combination is intended to be compared. I plan on writing up a direct comparison between the two which Iโll add here once I do, but to keep it brief. Basically the body and ergonomics is essentially identical. Handling, size, and weight also basically identical.
So itโs basically an X100VI with very little downside? Well, not quite. On paper and comparing notes, the camera has a lot going for it. It wasnโt until using it for the first day that I realized a couple big flaws in the design.

Landscape Photography Gear Guide for 2025: alexarmitage.com/2025-landscape-photography-gear-guide
Not long ago the sub $1,000 camera was a competitive segment of the photography market but as costs increase and inflation rises, the options have become less and less. More importantly are any of the cameras you can get for under $1,000 even worth buying in 2025? In this video Iโll cover all your options for new cameras that fit a budget of $1,000 or less and exactly the ones you should consider. One of them is so good, I bought it myself when I already own too many other cameras.
What sets the Nikon Z50 II apart from everything else in the list? Nikon recipes. If youโre unfamiliar these are similar to filters that come built into your camera that most manufacturers include. Names like โvivid,โ โsepia,โ or โdramatic.โ Typically these are all quite useless once you start photographing more regularly. The Nikon Z50 II actually includes quite a few of these itself with a bit more customization to decrease the intensity of the filter, giving you more usable results.
Recipes are essentially the same but can be created by you or me (mine are free at the bottom of this article). These recipes tend to be far more subtle or pleasing than many of the built in filters that most camera manufacturers include. Thereโs a ton of flexibility when creating these recipes and most importantly you as a photographer donโt even need to know what they are, you just need to know where to find them and try them out.
What makes recipes so great? Recipes gives you the ability to take pleasing images, with more creative choice and freedom to how the photo looks right in camera, without editing. This is the most important factor when it comes to recipes. Many of you watching this might be interested in buying their first camera but havenโt a clue about editing yet. Many times these recipes are pleasing enough that you donโt even need to edit the images from the camera. All of the photos in this video from the Nikon Z50 II are straight out of camera, no editing.

I recently got to spend some time with the Fujifilm GFX100S II (thanks Fujifilm!) and from the moment I took the first shots, I was skeptical. Not because the images werenโt great, they were incredible. So much so that it seemed too good to be true. Was it just the moment, the light, or was there something more going on with this sensor? Instead of rushing off and dropping $7,000 on my own Fujifilm GFX100S II, I reserved judgement until I could put it side by side to a few of the other cameras I have at my disposal.
This isnโt my first time shooting medium format. Recently I owned the Hasselblad X2D and while those images were full of detail, they never made me question my camera choices, which is why I was so confused by my first shots with the GFX100S II as they have the same sensor.

I set out on a 3,000-mile solo road trip to Newfoundland to photograph icebergs but this journey became something far deeper. What was meant to be a landscape photography adventure turned into a 2 month-long exploration of solitude, burnout, doubt, and rediscovery. This is the story of what happened when the road became a mirror and the cold, wet coast of Newfoundland quietly unraveled everything I thought I knew about myself and my art.
Over the course of four hours, this video follows my travels across remote roads, fishing villages, beautiful coastlines, and iceberg-strewn shorelines. Living full-time out of my 4Runner (named Roscinante), I documented not just the landscapes of Newfoundland but the internal landscape of a person wrestling with creative fatigue, emotional stillness, and the question: Why do we create at all? Youโll see the raw beauty of Newfoundlandโs rugged terrain, including massive cliffs, endless fog, icebergs slowly melting into the sea. More importantly, youโll experience what it means to be truly alone in a place that asks nothing of you but your attention, and maybe a jacket or two.
This film isnโt just about photography. Itโs about what happens when you struggle to find where to point your camera. Itโs about chasing clarity in a place with nothing but uncertainty. Itโs about how the best stories arenโt the ones we go looking for but the ones that find us when it is finally quiet enough to listen.
Whether youโre a photographer, filmmaker, traveler, or simply someone searching for meaning in stillness, I made this film for you.

Iโve spent my whole photography career editing my images, nearly 5 years of educating people here on YouTube about photo editing, and continue to include it in my workflow regularly. Yet Iโve been on a bit of a journey finding quite a lot of enjoyment and connection with my photography without editing my photos. A big part of that journey has been dabbling with different cameras to see just how good they are at producing images right in camera.
This started with the Fujifilm X100VI and recently Iโve been shooting almost exclusively on my Nikon Zf. I even showed quite a few images straight out of camera in my video highlighting the Hasselblad X2D. Iโve since sold that camera and serendipitously around the same time I got put into contact with someone at Fujifilm. They reached out and basically said I could try out a camera if I wanted to and with a 102 megapixel hole in my heart after selling the Hasselblad, I thought Iโd give the GFX 100 S II a spin.
Conceptually this feels like I get the best of both of my worlds. I can use recipes like the x100vi, I can change lenses like my Nikon Zf, which is a bit ironic to say considering I currently only own one lens for the Zf, and I get to have those deliciously fatttt 102mp images again. Sounds pretty sweet. Soooo whatโs the catch? Lets find out

As a full time photographer here on YouTube, Iโm in the very privileged position that I have basically everything I could need to take whatever photos I want: Iโve got multiple cameras, ultra wide to super tele focal lengths, and years of editing experience to make whatever I want to create. Yet Iโve found myself enjoying and connecting more within photography when I leave all of that behind and challenge myself to see the world differently.
Well today we are going to do just that, but Iโm going to take it even further. Instead of shooting anything and everything and then only showing you the least embarrassing ones. Iโm only going to take 36 images and youโre going to see every single one of them. Yup. Even all the bad ones. I read a quote from Orson Welles recently that said โthe enemy of art is the absence of limitations.โ Thus Iโm limiting myself as much as I can without stepping into the world of paying for film and hopefully this gives you a more transparent perspective into the fact that most of the photos I take are garbage. Oh yeah and did I mention no editing either? Iโll be using my Nikon Zf and just a few Nikon recipesโฆ

Fujifilm X100VI Recipes - alexarmitage.com/fuji-x100vi-recipes
Look, before anyone leaves angry comments - I love editing. It's how I started and really developed a passion for landscape photography. Quite honestly it's likely what I enjoyed the most about the process at times, specifically the technical side of everything. Being able to edit in a way that could turn nothing into something felt like a really great skill to practice and develop.
The problem is that over the years, it made me disconnect and focus less on my actual photography. I stopped caring much about the scenes in front of of me or exploring more of what I could find because I could also just edit a decent photo into a good one.
It wasn't until I spent time with the Fujifilm X100VI that something changed. Using that camera gave me permission to take photos without editing. It opened up a world where I started to see and photograph differently. So much so that I ended up buying a Nikon Zf to continue seeing in the same world.
I know I can't convince you to stop editing completely, heck I will also continue to edit my own images. BUT I do highly encourage you to go out and try to see differently by capturing photos without editing. Just give it a shot.

After using Sophiaโs Fujifilm X100VI - I wanted my own, but owning two of the same camera felt a bit silly, plus the dang camera is still sold out. Thus I decided to give the Nikon Zf a try after learning that they had their own recipes. One of my biggest draws to the Fujifilm system was enjoying photography without the need to spend even more time behind the computer editing - I do that plenty for work and many of the other images I take. The question is, are they as good or close to Fujifilmโs community recipes?
I admit I was quite late to the Nikon Zf party and feel like their recipe capabilities kinda flew under the radar? No better time than the present though! Last month I bought the Nikon Zf and took a 2+ week road trip across the west snapping images on the Nikon Zf.
This road trip didnโt consist of any dedicated photography, meaning the objective of many places was to enjoy them as we passed through without trying to time the perfect light or conditions. Thus many of the images youโll find here resemble exactly what youโd get on a family trip, sight seeing, or just walking around to capture whatever catches your eye!
Every image in this video has been unedited with the exception of a possible crop or exposure adjustment. (besides two images)

The Dip by Seth Godin - bookshop.org/a/112659/9781591841661
Drawing Tablet Used for Graphs - geni.us/BooxNoteAir4c
There is one rule I always remind myself when it comes to photography, and that is that Art and instant gratification cannot co-exist. Photography has this illusion that itโs easy, likely because itโs so accessible. Like right now, almost anyone can pick up a device and take a photo. They can create something, RIGHT NOW. The process of being a creator is a journey and to become good at photography requires a lot more time and effort than might appear on the surface.
I recently picked up this book called โThe Dip,โ by Seth Godin while I was doing research for my creator life here on YouTube. Now I donโt agree with the approach to many points in this book, most notably Godin speaks a lot about only doing things if you want to be the best at them. If I look at the sentiment in good faith, it might just mean that itโs good to approach choices like youโre striving to be the best version of yourself within them. The issue is he approaches them a bit too black and white for me, and that there are so many things in life worth effort without any intention to be the best in the world at (such as photography)
The most relatable portion of this book to photographers (and creators in general) is the name sake of the book - The Dip. Godin defines the dip as โthe long slog between starting and mastery.โ He says that โif itโs something worth doing, thereโs probably a dip.โ
The Dip can be many things. It could be your own satisfaction in your work. It could be related to your business. Take my YouTube channel for example. Hereโs a graph of my views over the course of my career here. Notice something? THATS THE DIP. The reality is that a LOT of people make it to this point (pointing to first hill), less people make it to this point in the dip, and barely anyone makes it to this point, which is probably a good thing.

Glow filters (aka black mist or bloom filters) are nothing new in photography yet I feel like I donโt see them talked about very much in the space of nature photography. I suspect this is likely because the majority of people in that space are very technical and want to capture images in the flattest, purest ways possible. I must admit it feels a little wrong to put something in front of my lens that, for all intents and purposes, slightly reduces the sharpness and โpureโ quality of the images Iโm capturing.
Is that such a bad thing though in todayโs world of pristine images? Something Iโve noticed in myself over the past couple years is focusing less on needing to capture the perfect image and instead how to create something that feels artistic. That feels a bit less about my technical ability and more about the story I have to tell. In doing so Iโve felt like in many ways the technology in photography is spoiling, it almost feels too easy. Thus the idea of bringing a bit of life back into my images has felt refreshing. In some ways iโve been doing this for years by reducing clarity in my images to make them feel a bit less digital.
Recently Iโve been experimenting with these glow filters made by Maven, specifically their 1/4 and 1/2 intensity variants in a bunch of scenarios. Below I have some high res examples of using the filters in different lighting conditions. One thing to keep in mind is that youโll need to practice with these to learn how they effect your images. Sometimes I canโt even tell they are on my camera, other times they make the highlights bloom like a 1980โs soap opera.

There are many cameras to choose from in 2025 from an assortment of a bunch of brands. There has been a plateau in terms of image quality in most modern cameras. We are left with questions such as color science, nuance of character, and most important of all - can we just make the images we want to make on any camera? Does the sensor size different between crop sensor, full-frame, or medium format make have much of an impact on the actual results for landscape photography?
In this video I put those questions to the test. This isn't scientific, far from it. But ideally it gives a good idea of how these brands and cameras stack up to each other regardless if you are spending $1,000 or $10,000.
I'd love to know your favorite in the comments!

Learning the foundational principles of photography doesnโt have to be complicated, in fact weโll be covering more than 85% of the basics right here in this video! To do that youโll need to fully understand what exposure is and how to manipulate it properly using shutter speed, aperture, and ISO. Most importantly weโll be covering how to use these settings to unlock your creativity in your photography.
By the end you should have a good grasp on how to use manual mode (or aperture/shutter priority), understanding the exposure triangle, and even a great bonus tip to get exposure right using the histogram.
Understanding exposure first before ever worrying about the creative aspects of your photography is important. This way you can learn one thing at a time. Once you learn how exposure works using the core aspects of shutter speed, aperture, and ISO - then you can start dabbling in what each of them do for your photos in terms of sharpness, creative expression, and fun things like bokeh! Hope you enjoy and don't forget to thank Sophia once again!

This is Where Severance Season 2 Episode 8 Was Filmed!
Most images shot on Canon R5 (a few on Canon R7)
Anthony Bourdain once said โTravel isnโt always pretty. It isnโt always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But thatโs okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind."
Iโm lucky to be able to say that in my years of traveling full-time, Iโve rarely ever had something bad happen. The biggest challenges have always been internalโbattles of the mind rather than moments of crisis. And after today, when the dust settled, what had really happened? My gear got salty, I got very salty, and I found myself grappling with something I definitely did not anticipate - a wave of panic (pun intended) and navigating how to process it.
Stepping into the unfamiliarโwhether itโs a place, an experience, or an ideaโis inherently daunting. We construct bubbles of safety in different areas of our lives. For some, itโs physicalโwe stay close to our hearths, within the comfort of the familiar. For others, itโs emotionalโseeking refuge in people, routines, and predictability. Many of my friends canโt comprehend why on earth Iโd ever opt into living in a vehicle, sleeping on the side of the road, or waking up in strange places.
Yet for me those things invigorate me to shed my areas of comfort and experience the world in a different way. Now, Iโll admit, waking up wet and cold in the middle of nowhere isnโt my idea of a perfect morning - itโs not all glamorous. But after itโs all said and done, these are the memories and stories Iโll carry on for the rest of my life, hopefully to pass down even a fraction of that to someone else, or to spark even the smallest ember of curiosity in someone like you, whoโs kindly listening to me right now.
Iโm unsure that my experience that day allowed me to leave any good behind like Bourdain says. I do know the next time I stepped foot on the boat, I was far more worried than the last timeโฆ But I wasnโt going to let that stop me.

Landscape Photography Gear Guide for 2025: alexarmitage.com/2025-landscape-photography-gear-guide
When you learn photography, one of the first things you encounter is how to properly or correctly exposure your images. This is a foundation to the basic principles in photography. Capturing correct exposure and allowing yourself to edit the image later.
Yet so many beautiful and famous images we pass by on a daily basis don't follow this principle. They exist almost in complete darkness or brightness. They definitely are not following "correct exposure" rules and it leaves me wondering, have I been thinking about it all wrong this entire time? One thing that has hindered me personally is that it has been engrained in my brain that it's felt impossible to break the rule and push my images into darkness or allow them to remain bright.
This is the exposure paradox. Is there a correct exposure? You tell me!

Steal like an Artist by Austin Kleon: amzn.to/3Cy13Ua
This is Where Severance Season 2 Episode 8 Was Filmed!
I've been struggling with creativity, my photography, and all around as an artist. It took me more months than I'd like to admit to finish the script for this video. To help with this I visited a bookstore with no expectations. I let myself explore and find things that found me. Through my exploration I came across a book called "Steal Like an Artist" by Austin Kleon. Ultimately I decided to purchase the book to maybe, just maybe help get the gears turning within my work and photography.
Throughout this episode I reference the book (which I have linked above) while I explore one of the most unique spots in all of Newfoundland, Fogo Island. While I mainly focus on some of the prominent architecture there I also go over my own personal experience as an artist. I hope something throughout this episode instills inspiration to you.

Sophia and I's road trip across North America didn't exactly go as planned BUT we did get a chance to battle it out in who could make the best photos. As a professional photographer I was only allowed to use my iPhone 16 Pro with zero editing. Sophia, being new to photography, chose to use her trusty Fujifilm X100VI which can take fantastic images right in camera. This competition was not easy and I struggled shooting on my iPhone 16 Pro for a myriad of reasons.
A major strength of the Fujifilm X100VI is how easy it is to use once you've got it setup. The iPhone on the other hand was a bit more challenging, especially in winter weather conditions. Although this was intended to be a competition, I think we all won in this video.

For most of us shooting landscape or nature photography as a hobby, anytime we travel anywhere to take photos we are almost required to plan our spots because of the limited time we have out in the field. This is something I did myself for years and still do it now, but also I spend a lot less time planning and more time just trying to get a general idea of places I can go while putting more emphasis on the exploration rather than the destination.
In this episode I go in completely blind. I don't know a single thing about the places we are visiting let alone what they look like. The experience is both rewarding and challenging. This was something I became increasingly better at after living on the road considering I was visiting spots where you can't plan anything. The sum of those experiences allows us to explore our photography in an almost childlike way, seeing and experiencing things completely blind without any expectations.
I cannot stress enough to let yourself do the same thing. Don't worry so much about specific spots and start seeing by not knowing.

In this video I cover the harsh reality and realization that the only person who really cares about your work is yourself. That if you stopped or started taking photos, it really wouldn't have much impact on anyone else but you. While that can sound a bit too brutal, once you realize this it's honestly such a relief. No one cares about your photography and it's actually a really good thing because it means you have the freedom to do whatever it is that makes you happy.
As nature and landscape photographers, we don't really have any clients when it comes to our work. We have no deliverables and there are no expectations set by anyone... except ourself. Thus its really important to fulfill our own needs and make sure we are finding fulfillment in our work. Once that's accomplished you can start figuring out how you want to share your work with others.
By the end of the video I dive into how we can make people actually care about our photographs. Not just grab their attention but actually CARE about a photo. The easiest way is to capture someone with a story either through the work itself or about your own journey. I cover it all in this video.

cloudinary.com/blog/the-case-for-jpeg-xl
Shooting in raw has been synonymous with professional photography since the advent of digital cameras. It's always been the format most of us have shot in for decades and maybe it's time we look at a new format for the future. In this video I show you just how capable modern compression methods can be when editing raw images using the new JPEG XL standard.
You still get all the benefits of a raw with detail retention, white balance adjustments, and overall image quality but at a fraction of the size. A staggering 90% reduction in many cases yet preserving every detail. Currently we cannot shoot with this method yet but we can apply it to our photos in the latest version of Lightroom. Don't trust this YouTube video, go and try it for yourself!

Landscape photography is one of the most accessible genres of photography to get into. You donโt need big lenses, expensive primes, studio lights, or massive apertures. All you really need is a camera and a lens to start taking incredible images. Through this guide Iโll be covering general recommendations with budget in mind. If youโre someone whoโs likely to spend over $2000 on their first camera, this guide likely isnโt for you. Ideally the goal is to recommend the best equipment you can get for the value. This includes buying used or utilizing markets such as eBay and Facebook marketplace on equipment such as tripods, bags, and other accessories.
This entire guide is written with landscape photography as the goal. This means things like image quality will heavily outweigh autofocus, or weight/size will be a bigger priority than a large aperture. My approach is quite minimal considering the majority of my own work can be taken on just a camera and two lenses. Thereโs nothing wrong with enjoying gear, but it also feels great to know we can accomplish a lot with very little!

After driving from Florida to Newfoundland in search of Icebergs and facing endless days of cold wet rain, I felt a change in the air. Iโm a landscape photographer who lives full time in my 4runner ross which gives me the ability to sleep in amazing places at the cost of a bit of suffering in the cold wet weather. The weather was finally changing, yet I found myself struggling in a new way within my work. Trying to let go of the familiar, leaning into areas of discomfort, and staying vulnerable with you through it allโฆThis is episode 5.
Quotes in this episode
Georgia OโKeeffe โ On Finding Your Voice: In a reflection on her own artistic development, OโKeeffe wrote:
โI have always been drawn to the landscapes and forms around me, yet I never wanted to paint them in the way they were traditionally depicted. My goal has always been to express what I see in my own way, and that has taken time. Growth as an artist requires a deep commitment to exploring your own vision and refining it over the years. I believe that one must take risks, to go beyond what feels comfortable, and to seek out new methods and approaches to oneโs art. I remember looking at the world and thinking, โWhat if I can portray this in a way that speaks to my innermost feelings?โ Itโs this inner dialogue that has driven me to create. With each piece, I strive to discover something new about myself and about the world. There is no formula for growth, only a journey of self-discovery through the medium of paint.โ

The most significant feature of the iPhone 16 pro for photographers this year is completely undisclosed by Apple, and I know itโs the most significant change because I put it to the test in this video. Iโm a full time landscape photographer whoโs lived on the road for over 3 years living and breathing photography while making videos like this one where Iโve compared the newest iPhone to my daily professional camera, the Canon R5 in real world situations. Last years iPhone 15 Pro was quite lackluster for improvements over itโs predecessor. This year is different and there are numerous big changes in the iPhone 16 pro including the addition of an updated sensor to the ultra-wide camera, a brand new camera control button, and what I think is the most significant update of the iPhone 16 pro giving us the ability to take insanely high quality raw images at a fraction of the size. So In this video weโll be testing that new ultra-wide sensor for both landscape and macro style images, plus the main camera sensor in multiple conditions, and lastly ill show you how incredible these new raw images can be. And if you stick around to the end, I even have some Aurora shots to show you, so sit back, relax, and join me as I take you along in one of the most beautiful places in the world, fall in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado.

I've spent over 2 months traveling cross country using the Fujifilm X100VI almost exclusively. For years I never understood why anyone was buying this camera considering it's a fixed lens, with a camera sensor you can get from much more affordable cameras, and it can't take images any better than much more affordable cameras can. So why is everyone buying this camera? Why is it sold out? After using it for months, the answer is not what you'd expect unless you've used the camera.
To me the Fujifilm X100VI has marked a new era in the photography industry. It's a turning point that typically happens every decade or more in photography. This camera (and many like it) are about the experience of photography. These cameras don't exist to take the absolute best images with the best stats, they exist for something you cannot see on a stat sheet. The experience of photography is becoming more and more prominent when we can all take great images with even our phones. I explore this in depth within this video.

Newfoundland 2025 Workshop - alexarmitage.com/2025-newfoundland-photography-workshop
After driving 3,000 miles to photograph Icebergs in Newfoundland and adventuring over to Labrador. Weโve found ourselves in a new area on the peninsula of LaScie. Iโm a landscape photographer who lives full time in my 4runner ross which gives me the freedom to explore basically anywhere at the cost of luxuries such as heat, showers, or a place to work. This lack of amenities combined with the cold May weather here In Newfoundland has pushed me to my limit. A few days ago, I almost broke down and left it all behind but thankfully I persevered and get greatly rewarded in more ways than one. This is episode 4
Quotes from this episode:
โAlmost when you least expect it, things fall into place. You realize that what left, was making space for what was about to arrive. The quiet let you hear the guidance. The unhappiness forced you to make a move. The unsettledness made you keep seeking. The end ushered in a new beginning.
The doors that closed turned you toward the ones that were opening. The lessons were always leading you. Every time you got it wrong, you were one step closer to having it right.โ
- Brianna Weist
"We think that by protecting ourselves from suffering, we are being kind to ourselves. The truth is, we only become more fearful, more hardened, and more alienated. We experience ourselves as being separate from the whole. This protection mechanism is so strong, weโre not even aware of it. Weโre just trying to make life smooth and secure, trying to build a shelter for ourselves from the fear we feel in our hearts. We can slow down and stop rushing around so much. We can just rest our minds right here, in the immediacy of our experience, without trying to alter anything. By staying with that pain and not taking it personally, we see that nothing in this world is solid or permanent. Everything is in a process of changing. When we can rest with this change, with this impermanence, we find that the very ground of our being is open and spacious. Instead of scrambling to protect ourselves, we can appreciate the richness of every moment. The trick is to let go and simply be present with the vulnerability of the human experience. This is how we cultivate loving-kindness, both for ourselves and for others.โ
-Pema Chรถdrรถn, When Things Fall Apart (Chapter 20: The Trick of Choosing)

Iโve driven over 3,000 miles to photograph icebergs in Newfoundland. Iโm a landscape photographer who lives full time in my 4runner ross, and we just spent over 2 weeks in the great northern peninsula chasing icebergs. It was time for some new scenery and to head to a place Iโve never been, Labrador. My hope was to re-engergize myself with a new place, find some more icebergs to photograph, and ultimately just see whatโs over the horizon. While I did get to explore that new place, my biggest discovery was within myself. This is episode 3
As I crossed the Strait of Belle Isle. I reviewed a few of my images from the last few weeks and contemplated what else Iโd hope to find in the coming days of my exploration to Labrador. I was mostly happy with the iceberg images I had captured thus far, especially given the conditions of the last week or so. Yet I wanted more, which always seems to be the sentiment of an artist? Actually I guess you could say, itโs what humans continually strive for in general. The pursuit of finding satisfaction never seems to end.
Why is that? Why is it that no matter how much we accomplish, or the goals we cross, thereโs always another finish line to reach. I think about this a lot. Iโve made few videos that even touch on the subject, specifically defining success. Because in many ways you could say accomplishing your goals makes you successful.
If I think about it too much, I start to get that sense of existential dread. Think about it though. If you realize this cycle never ends, as soon as we catch that carrot ahead of us, we already want another carrot. Why even try? Whatโs the point if we just never feel content no matter what.

New to Photography? Start here - alexarmitage.com/learn-photography-basics
Phone cameras have gotten increasingly better over the last decade but within the last couple years they have gotten to professional levels, which I've made multiple videos about on this channel. In this video I cover over ten simple tips that will take your photos to professional levels and the best part is you can go at your own pace. I've structured the lessons in this video to take it as serious or as casual as you'd like.
Learning photography doesn't have to be complicated. Many may think a phone isn't powerful enough or it's too limited. The reality is that the phones weakness of versatility is actually it's greatest strength. When you are limited with choices it means you have to get creative. This is the definition of creativity and where phone photography flourishes. If you start capturing great images on your phone, you'll absolutely capture amazing images on anything else.
Throughout this video I'll cover simple settings you can do on your phone to achieve better images, thinking with more intention when you're out to create images with photography, and how to craft better stories using composition and lighting no matter what camera you're shooting with.

Iโm a landscape photographer who lives full time in my 4Runner, Ross, and so far Iโve driven over 3,000 miles to the great northern peninsula in Newfoundland to capture Icebergs in iceberg alley. Today we arenโt looking for iceberg as weโve found plenty. Right now the objective is to not to turn into an iceberg myself. Over the next 10 days you get a true glimpse into my life on the road that shows the darker sides of the experience, sadly itโs not always rainbows and sunshine, but as youโll discover in this video, the journey is totally worth it. This is episode 2.

This is something new that I've never done before. I wanted to repeat the essence of what my Alaska series from two years ago felt like, except more constructed and polished. Within the video we started our journey in Florida and make it all the way to Newfoundland to hunt for Icebergs. I've lived in my 4Runner, Ross, for over 3 years now and after visiting Newfoundland last year, I knew I had to go back to try and find icebergs.
I drive over 3,000 miles to try and find them. Along the way we encounter Caribou, Moose, wild Americans, take a ferry ride, experience something I had never experienced before - a broken spectre. The weather tricks me into thinking I'm somewhere else and eventually get to the northern tip of Newfoundland in hopes of finding an iceberg to photograph.

In this week's episode we continue right where we left off in our last episode. An afternoon after the morning hike in El Chalten filled with food, cute animals, and good times between Sophia and I. She teaches us about Yerba Mate and her opinions on it's flavor experience. We get some Ice Cream and then head out to catch sunset where I break down how I captured a pretty challenging image. Sophia enjoys the clouds and teaches us a new photography technique that I think all of us will benefit from.
The new morning we hike up that steep mountain again and experience quite a lot of wind. The photo I end up with isn't my favorite but still glad I get something from that morning. We barely catch sunset that night as the timing changed rapidly but still wind up with something worthwhile. Our last morning has some absolutely gorgeous conditions, just in the wrong direction!

We start off this journey as Sophia and I wake up way too early to catch sunrise in the beautiful area of El Chalten. Considering we had never been here, the idea was to keep it simple because trying to find any images in the dark is basically impossible thus we went to the waterfall. This was Sophia's first nighttime hike and she killed it! She even took a nap on a rock haha.
Afterwards we scouted around for the following days shoots and ate some lunch. After heading back down the mountain we made a big lunch and then shot sunset on the road. You'll have to let me know how good my dance moves are.
The next day I went up the mountain by myself to do something special. Little did I know that I'd make it up there in time to photograph the stars and I did exactly that. Then I share a vulnerable and important moment with you, hope you enjoy.

It was time for Sophia and I to leave Chile and head to Argentina. Along the way we get up to a few shenanigans including some rough roads, guanaco photos, and trying some local food. Eventually we make it to the Perito Moreno Glacier and explore around on a very cold morning. The border crossing was very easy this direction thankfully as we had all our ducks in a row! Once we arrived, we made the decision to rent a hotel so that we could finally sleep with a bit of warmth and shower every day. I was super proud of Sophia for keeping up though and can't believe she made it as long as she did.
Our first shoot was ruined by Nick Page though. How rude! Thanks for watching!.

Join Sophia and I as we adventure around Torres Del Paine National Park in Chile. More specifically, while I am in search of the next image to get into my portfolio. It comes at a cost though, and thats many a lost hat! Thankfully I didn't wear any hats, but I did get blown over a few times. Poor Sophia could barely stay standing at times. Such conditions make for some absolutely breathtaking photos though. The scenery certainly helps of course as it is arguably one of the most beautiful places on earth.

The DJI Pocket 3 is not new but after spending 6 months using it for my work on this channel, has it kept up with the initial hype of it's release? In this video I'll take you across the world to show you my complete thoughts behind the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 in a mixture of vlog and review. I wanted to show off the capabilities of this camera in real time rather than sitting behind a desk and telling you my thoughts. What better way to show how good this camera is for vlogging than to just make a vlog?
I hope you enjoy and I'd love to know your thoughts on the DJI Pocket 3

Iโve worked with more and more photographers over the years, and a commonality between many of them is that they only have their photos in one place, which will inevitably lead to tragedy. If youโve ever had the unfortunate experience of losing your data you know how devastating that can be, and if you havenโt yet, I promise you it will happen at some point. Iโm a full time landscape photographer who lives on the road making content and as someone whose livelihood is reliant on my photos and videos - data redundancy is extremely important. If youโre someone whos photos only exist in one spot, or youโve got a bunch of drives laying around, or you struggle with workflow management then this video is for you.
In this video Iโm going to cover the best practices for managing your photography data, breakdown a simple and easy to understand workflow from the moment you capture an image to storing it safely, and my personal recommendation to make your life stress free so you never have to worry about losing a photo again.

6:57 The Best Way to Backup Your Photos
12:55 Editing Photos From a NAS
If youโre like me, youโve likely spent most of your time as a photographer either thinking your camera doesnโt make you a better photographer or being told it doesnโt make you a better photographer. Actually, Iโve spent years on this channel saying exactly this and Iโve realized I think Iโm entirely wrong, and by the end of this video Iโll change your mind too.
Now donโt get me wrong, the person behind the camera still matters far more than the camera they are holding. However if the camera they are holding is a culmination or series of tools that inspired them to be doing what they are doing - it absolutely made them a better photographer. Itโs not the megapixels, dynamic range, the autofocus, or sharpness. Itโs that our cameras are an extension of our art. They are the brushes we love to paint with, the typewriter with the perfect balance, or the guitar with the perfect pitch.
So if youโre like me and you found inspiration to go out and practice your art because you bought a new camera. Or you were able to capture the image you wanted because you had the right lens. Or you saw something youโd never see without slowing down because your camera requires it. Then your camera has absolutely made you a better photographer. Donโt believe me? Try shooting without one!

This video took me a long time to put together. More than just a year of posting a reel to instagram everyday, it was also a big challenge to myself as an artist. I've always struggled with social media, or the grind necessary to be successful on most platforms and admittedly approached them selfishly as ways to express myself rather than ways to grow my business.
This video covers my experience and results of posting a reel everyday for a year, and while the results might be a bit surprising to you, the real message here isn't until the end. I spent a LOT of time on this video and hope you find it insightful.

While todayโs lesson is a bit embarrassing for me, I love it because no matter where you are in your photography journey you can do this exercise and it is absolutely the best way to remind yourself of how much youโve improved in your work over time. Recently I made a video highlighting just how much my work has changed over the last couple years and have found a lot of enjoyment and reassurance of just how far Iโve grown. In this video Iโll be going back to an image I edited 8 years and completely re-editing with not only what Iโve learned since then, but also how Iโve changed as a photographer.

This week we head into the editing suite and sit down for a classical editing session like some of my first videos I ever did. It's been awhile and the winter months tend to mean I spend a bit more time editing my images than taking them.
This video encompases everything you could want to know about masking in Lightroom in 2024. This will work in both lightroom classic and lightroom mobile. Once you really understand these tools, it will open new doors in your editing capabilities within your images. At first it might seem daunting but once you start using the masks in Lightroom, you'll never be able to edit without them. Personally I think this is the strongest and most important tool within Lightroom but I'd love to hear what you think about your experience with Masking.

I don't talk about gear very often on this channel but it's still a very important aspect in the world of photography and videography. I'm currently stuck in doors and thought this might be information people find useless or give ideas too. I recently added two new additions to the pack and felt like it was a good time to dabble in why. I've never done a full breakdown of whats in my camera bag. You'll find that most of what I own isn't the newest, or the best, or the bleeding edge. I just like reliable stuff that helps me get out there and find stories to tell. Hope you find this useful, let me know if you do.

This week's episode was rough. Getting sick on the road is not fun BUT I get to introduce you to someone new along the way. Without spoiling anything we spend some very cold time in Bryce Canyon National park and take a beautiful ride along the grand escalante national monument. A beautiful drive that I hope you enjoy the photos from!

This is a bit later than I had hoped because I got sick! Hopefully it's still relevant enough as we are already 20 days into the new year! This year I wanted to do something slightly different than last because I really pushed myself to try new things this year. I was inspired by new friends, new work, and just trying to see the world differently.
As a photographer who shoots far more often than I ever did before the last couple years, improving or progressing has felt difficult. We fall into these patterns of comfort and start to question how to change or be happy within ourselves as artists. About half way through 2023 I really pushed myself to try new things. I would go out and shoot without filming anything, just so I could figure out exactly what it was that I was looking for.
In this 2023 recap, I hope you walk away with something you can do yourself to hopefully find new inspiration in your own work.

Here is the last bit of photography I experienced on my drive back south for the winter. After a few cold waterfalls, South Carolina treated me to a few hidden gems, including the Angel Oak. However throughout this video you'll see theres a lot more to see than just that.
Some of my favorite photo spots were actually roads. I definitely think there was a lot more potential in some of the spots I visited but they needed different conditions. Have you been to any of these spots?

Every year I make a video comparing the newest iPhone to my daily professional camera and every year I get the same comments. โOf course I canโt tell the difference comparing these images on a YouTube video.โ The truth is, they are right! Comparing images through a video you might be watching on a screen the size of your phone, compression of video, or just the resizing of the images means you have to basically take my word for it. When it comes to photography quality, the most important deliverable when your work is completed is in print. So this year Iโve made the comparison even better by having images professionally printed on metal. And the best part? You wonโt even have to take my word for it because we are going to ask random strangers as they are walking by which image they think was taken by each camera. The results surprised me and I suspect they will surprise you too.
This years test were a bit more difficult than last year for people to get correct. I picked the daytime photo from Gros Morne, and the blue hour shot from the coast of newfoundland.
