Peter Hurley’s “Squinch” Helps To Make Better Headshots. You would have to be from Mars not to know who Peter Hurley is at this point.
He was one of the first photographers to let Fstoppers into his studio, and together we produced the wildly popular The Art Behind The Headshot tutorial where he shares all of his secrets. Today Peter is publicly sharing perhaps his most important tip for making people look good in front of your camera, and it is appropriately named “squinching.” A typical “Hurleyism”, Squinching is a made up word for something Peter has been trying to explain for years. Peter argues that when people have wide eyes they look vulnerable, scared, fearful, and overall uncertain. Those qualities usually do not work well for headshots which typically need to portray confidence, approachability, mystery, and intrigue. As you can see, Peter has taken each of his clients from an uncomfortable state in front of his camera to an ultra suave, cool looking demeanor. Related Peter Hurley: The Art Behind The Headshot DVD.

Long-exposure photography of Toby Harriman. While most photographers capture a specific moment in time, Toby Harriman prefers to capture many, many moments of time, resulting in an image that better conveys the ambience of a place.
Instead of fractions of a second, think minutes or longer — plenty of time for a landscape to reveal its character, not just its presence. Growing up in Aspen, Colorado, Toby spent much of his formative years playing sports and being outdoors. He trained his Nikon 60D primarily on his family during ski trips. It wasn't until his senior year of high school that he finally took a studio photography class — and fell in love with working digitally and applying effects in Adobe Photoshop. When he ventured out west to San Francisco, California, Toby started getting into outdoor photography in a big way and became fascinated with long-exposure shots.
