Happy New Year! As I write this, it's the end of one year and the beginning of another, and as I look back on what I've accomplished this year, I also see what I could have done better. Hopefully these five tips will help you as you travel.

I'm heading to Oklahoma for the holidays, and it'll give me the opportunity to shoot a section of America I haven't seen yet. I've lived around DC, seen NYC and was an ATLien for a day, fell in love shooting here in Seattle and loved hiking the Hollywood Hills. This will be my first time in the middle of the US, so I'm excited to explore some new cities and see new things to explore. 

Earlier this year, I had the awesome pleasure of getting to shoot a Kickstarter video for Maryland Meadworks, a new meadery opening up in my hometown of Hyattsville, MD. Owned by Ken Carter, MMW is tapping into the growing hotspot that is Hyattsville.

I think that's the most important part of shooting, telling a story people can connect with and follow.

Since starting the promo for her new album, MASSEDUCATION, St. Vincent (Anne Clark) has been releasing deeply saturated visuals that burst with color. With the release of the official video for her new single, Los Ageless, directed by Willo Perron, the palette choices are taken to a new level. 

As more and more devices display content in 4K and HDR content, putting out content in those formats helps it stick out against the rest of the pack. My current kit is heavy and only outputs video in 1080p.
