There are two distinct approaches to photography: reactive and proactive. The type of photography you do depends on your personality and how comfortable you are with each of those approaches. What kind of photographer are you?

Neewer has produced a desktop lamp for streamers. It's a good alternative to what else is on the market, and not just for streamers.

Diving into the fascinating world of creativity within our craft can raise people's hackles. Many commonly accepted truths about what makes a good photo are subjective and swayed by widely held opinions. Nevertheless, breaking free from the constraints of popularism can lead to creative results that stand apart from the crowd, and that's important.

Are you kind? That sounds like an odd question to ask in a photographic article, but it impacts your work profoundly. However, there is one circumstance where you should be mean to other photographers.

There are many different travel bags aimed at photographers on the market. I’ve used numerous models, and it's rare that I find one that is bad. It does happen, though, and recently I was sent a bag from a promotional company representing another relatively well-known brand. That bag had a couple of major design flaws. I didn’t review it, and they took the issues on board and are addressing them. Major problems with high-end bags are rare.

Why would you need a teleprompter? Many people are considering them because they are working from home and want to give professional-looking presentations. Plus, many more people are doing YouTube videos. I decided to put the Neewer X17 II Teleprompter through its paces. I’ve been procrastinating about writing this article for some time because the Neewer X17 Teleprompter is such a simple device that I have been wondering how I can fill an entire article with enough information to describe it. But here goes. A Description of the Teleprompter It arrived in a smart, solid case.

Sadly, the world in which we're living has become more polarized, with hatred splitting communities and war tearing countries apart.
