First off, I love my Tamron SP AF 90mm f/2.8 Di Macro 1:1 lens. I’ve shot thousands of quality macro images with it, but I began hungering to get closer still and discovered the Canon MP-E lens, which delivers extreme close-up images of up to five times (“5x”) the magnification of the standard macro 1:1 [...]
For the month of March, we asked our readers to show us their best work with the theme in mind of that crazy little digit lying between 2 and 4 on the numeric scale, the Magic Number 3. Our fantastic readers/creatives first loaded the bases and instead of simply hitting a triple, they managed to [...]
In terms of our alumni, it is always rewarding to see our graduates hit the ground running building their businesses and getting work almost immediately after leaving RMSP. Karen Dressel is one such an example. A 2011 graduate of our Career Training program, her drive and determination is beginning to make her a force to [...]
I know. I know. The last thing any of you (or myself for that matter) want to hear about is another social media-type site. Facebook, Twitter, Google+, etc., etc. are all truly wonderful methods of talking to people, sharing ideas and knowledge and are generally fun to be involved with, but can sometimes feel overwhelming.

We can tell when we have a winner of an assignment usually by the volume of submissions we receive in response. December’s assignment, Patterns, is a great example. Since identifying and interpreting patterns in the human brain is as creative a process as taking a photograph, the result of the work submitted is a broad, [...]
With this month’s assignment being to capture the skies in their environment, our readers rose to the challenge by submitting a great variety of images showcasing their interpretation of this theme. The result is another great collection of work from around the country. Thanks to everyone for their submissions, and we hope you enjoy them [...]
Every year RMSP’s five-month Career Training program concludes in the fall with one of the most unique and comprehensive professional photography educational experiences anywhere; our six-week Advanced Intensive. By this time in their training, our students are being primed for the marketplace and learning the how-to’s of launching their careers in this highly competitive field. [...]
So, as we’ve been bragging about all week (and are quite excited about), our school patriarch and founder, Neil Chaput de Saintonge, had at one time studied with Ansel Adams in the early 70s. In light of this fact, and tonight’s opening of the exhibit “Ansel Adams: A Legacy“ at the Missoula Art Museum, I [...]
This month’s assignment involves this bittersweet time of year when summer comes to a close and the kids head “Back to School.” This may seem like more of a documentary assignment, but not necessarily. How would you depict the activity of getting the kids prepared and ready to dive right back into their learning environments? [...]
This month’s assignment asked the photographer to depict reflections – or the act of reflecting – with their images. It seems this assignment really struck a chord with our creative readers. Since the word itself can mean many things, our readers interpreted its meaning in many interesting ways. So much so, this assignment broke a [...]
