For todays article I want to try something a little different and talk about the way photographers should try and price their images. I am by no means an expert, but I have seen countless students pass through the doors of RMSP, so I do know how a lot of photographers have chosen to price [...]
Back in the film days, people would shoot through a roll of film, bring it to the lab and get their slides developed. Then, if they wanted a print, they would bring the slide back to the lab to have a print made. This process was repeated over and over again, until digital came along. [...]
Hello everyone! My name is Forest Chaput de Saintonge and I have been working as an assistant at the school for the past five years.

Star trail photography is a technique that many people may never attempt but is not as difficult as it may seem. This topic will be presented in two parts. In this article, I will discuss the [...]
