How To Make Money as a Landscape Photographer

Recently I’ve been poking around at how many pro Landscape photographers have made their money. It seems to be one big mystery with many different opportunities. Some old-school landscape guys recommend that people looking to get into it just pick a different career. But what’s funny is they all say the same thing: stock photography…
Hermosa Beach Pier Sunset

This is a photo I took back in 2012. I never got around to processing it, but I’m glad I waited because my Photoshop abilities have improved dramatically since then. This photo is made up of two separate exposures. Without two, the skies would have been blown out.
Buried Alive – Lower Antelope Canyon

I’m struggling to go through all my photos from last year and finish processing them before I get my new Sony A7r. I know once I get that camera, I won’t want to touch my old 5Dmkii photos anymore, even though they are perfectly good.
Epic Monuments – Canon 5DmkII

This is another one from Monument Valley. I’m kind of tempted to go back there this winter. I’m not sure if that’s a good idea, though. There have been a lot of storms this month already. I don’t want to get stranded without four-wheel drive in a Utah snowstorm.
Artist’s Point at Monument Valley

Finally getting some time to go back through my photos. I haven’t posted much from Monument Valley, and I really think this is one of the more spectacular places I’ve been to in a while. The place almost seems fake or unnatural. I’ve also been playing around a little with the VSCO presets.
NYC Epic Sunset

I have so many photos of NYC from the Top of the Rock that it’s fun to pick one here and there and go crazy with Photoshop just to see what happens. I’m still learning more and more techniques so I’m getting a lot faster with it. Unfortunately, when I was in New York, I…
NYC From The Top Of The Rock

I’ve finally gotten into processing some of my New York City shots from my 5Dmkii. It’s been fun, but it takes a bit more time since I do the majority of work in Photoshop. This shot has nothing crazy, just a little burn and dodge, color tweaks, and some color overlays. The Raw already looked…

Glowing Walls of Antelope Canyon

This was my first time in Antelope Canyon. I’ve been to the area a few times before but never realized these canyons were just right there. This was taken in the Lower Antelope Canyons, which is more known for its diversity of colors. When the sun breaks through the rocks the walls glow a range…
Top Of The Rock

This is another iPhone 5s shot from the Top Of the Rock. There is something strange about this location that I’ve never dealt with except at Hearst Castle. They’ve actually licensed the view from the top of the Rockefeller Center of New York City! So, they own any image taken from the top of their…
