This is super exciting for us since EXposed was a brand new direction in workshop films that is not being done much. We’re really proud of it. We worked hard for the cinematic approach in this 4+ hour series, roaming thousands of miles and visiting incredible locations to study light and discuss how we can better use it. We did just that.

EXposed has humble roots – We jumped in head first and worked hard resulting in a film that was better than we ever imagined. It got rave reviews and now this HOT ONE award on top if it all helps to reenforce that our idea was indeed a good one.

If you have not seen EXposed now is the time. It’s guaranteed to make you a better image maker. Pick up a Download or DVD copy. You won’t be disappointed and the value is better than most workshops you’ve seen.

You can even watch a series of free segments from EXposed right here.

When the sunlight fades, the light does not. Seattle is a spectacle to be seen, even at the strike of midnight. It’s festive colors crowned with the centerpiece that is the Space Needle. At 605 feet tall, it still stands proud and modern, though nearly fifty years old. When the view is just right and the traffic dies down, the bustling metropolis becomes a tranquil wonderland of light and color. Well, from a distance at least.

This was made at about 1AM from Kerry Park. The result is just what I hoped for from this mild winter evening. I enjoy the bold definition and tonal range, but also that the Space Needle is the primary object in the scene, complemented by the city. A gently applied dynamic range process allowed me to keep the lights and shadows in control and pull the tones of the city into a cohesive story.
