Dramatic Canine Portraits

What happens when boundless energy, flying fur, and professional lighting collide? Pure magic. In this brilliant new video from Kersten Luts, you’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at how off-camera flash can completely transform dog photography. From freezing action at exactly the right moment to creating shape, depth, and drama that natural light alone often can’t deliver, Kersten shows just how powerful creative lighting can be when working with unpredictable subjects.

Smoke & Dandelions with Lee Hall

Words by Lee Hall It was a dull, wet day here in the UK, so I decided it was the perfect opportunity to stay indoors and experiment with my new Platypod Bracket & Bounce system. For this setup, I placed one of my holographic cards into the bouncer holder, with my flash positioned on the opposite side.

Care for a donut?

by Jesse Feyereisen of BigBadToyStore I get to photograph some pretty cool figures for work at BigBadToyStore, and this new Chatsorth character from BigBadWorkShop and Fresh Monkey Fiction is one of my new favorites! A friendly Sasquatch that enjoys donuts and karaoke, yet come prepared and ready for battle with a big ‘ol machine gun! I was fortunate to get the chance to take a few promotional photos of him a little while back immediately fell in love with the character.

The Egg with Jarrod Erbe

The Concept This image was built around the idea of capturing a clean, controlled reflection of a cracked egg and its yolk on a reflective surface. The goal was to create symmetry and visual weight, using the reflection to mirror the yolk's shape and color while maintaining separation from the background.

Better Portraits with Platypod Bracket and Bounce

Let’s be honest for a second. On-camera flash has a bit of a reputation problem. Flat light. Harsh shadows. That “deer in headlights” look that screams built-in flash from 2007. We’ve all been there. We’ve all pretended it was intentional.

Artemis to the Moon

Image Credits: Erik Kuna and Supercluster There are photographers who plan a shoot… and then there are photographers who prepare for a rocket launch. This is firmly the second category. When Erik Kuna set out to capture the launch of NASA’s Artemis rocket, this wasn’t just about pointing a camera skyward and hoping for the best.

Model SUV in the Snow with Jarrod Erbe

We saw a photo by Jarrod Erbe over on the Platypod Users Facebook Group and we just had to share it with you! I had a winter concept in mind for this 1:40 scale diecast H2 SUT model and wanted to photograph it as if it were battling through a full-scale snowstorm.

Macro Water Droplet Photography with Don Komarechka

There is something deeply satisfying about seeing how an image is actually made. Not the polished final frame. Not the Instagram version. The real process. The fiddly bits. The problem solving. The “oh that didn’t work, let’s try this instead” moments.
