Welcome to Episode 067 of F-Stop Collaborate and Listen with Ben Canales!
Ben Canales is a fantastic photographer and videographer living in Portland, Oregon and is widely considered to be one of the pioneers of modern digital night photography. Ben is a partner of a video company called Uncage the Soul Productions where he creates incredible time-lapse and video productions for companies all over the world. You can see the full library of amazing productions over on Vimeo.
I believe this is one of the best podcast episodes we've recorded to-date!
We covered some great topics this week, including:
1. Ben's journey into night photography.
2. How night photography has evolved.
3. Shooting night video.
4. Framing and composition differences between photography, time-lapse, and video.
5. Location tagging on social media.
6. Abusing locations for our benefit.
7. Creativity, conformity, and the interesting new Instagram page "@Insta_Repeat"
Over on Patreon this week, Ben and I had a fabulous conversation - he answered several listener questions from our Facebook group, explained how he keeps inspired to do night photography, and handled a delicate and complex question regarding responsibility.
