The Last Photo - Chicago

The 'Last Photo' Project is an ongoing video series where I travel to different cities asking strangers about the last photo on their phone. Traveling through Chicago for the first time was both gratifying and somewhat frustrating. I found people to be more open to chatting than in other cities (maybe it's a mid-western thing) but simultaneously a bit less willing to go deep with me (maybe it's a mid-western thing).

Life in Focus E01 - Tim Kemple

f-stop's collaborative effort with our team of photographers and filmers is an essential cog in product research and development. Working with industry leading professionals to help design and build the ultimate camera packs and bags is an ongoing endeavor that has helped shape the brand and company we are today.

In an effort to give back to the f-stop Pro Team and photo/film community, we've set out to tell the story of a few of our team photographers and filmers. Episode 1 of 'Life in Focus' features f-stop Pro, Tim Kemple.

Those who follow the outdoor action sports world--especially climbing--have likely come across Tim's work before. With over a decade of commercial experience to his name, his images have been featured in blogs, billboards, and print ads across the globe. His focus has been capturing world renowned athletes in their element--very often in some of the most beautiful landscapes on Earth.

Tim co-founded Camp4Collective with fellow athletes/shooters, Jimmy Chin and Renan Ozturk. We had the opportunity to go behind the scenes with Tim on a shoot in Chamonix for Black Diamond, to capture him in his element, and hear how his story began.

Blender Tutorial: How to Create Light Trails (Using Splines)

From the Creative Shrimp Photo tutorial “As a photographer, you already know how to capture time. Time is the light trail, created by a long (slow) shutter. As a digital artist, you bang your head against the keyboard. Painful process.” This short video easily eliminates that process by teaching you the basics of creating magnificent light trails on your Blender photo editing software.

Walk in Shanghai

Guiding you through the streetscape is JT Singh. As he leads the viewer on his curious adventure through central Shanghai, he glances around corners, weaves through crowds, and with a barely perceptible pause here or an impulsive turn there, stumbles into the unhinged entropy that flows through the hidden alleys, accidental views, and captivating scenes embedded in the city’s vibrant street life. The peculiar reversal of the city’s movement against his own distinguishes his story from that of the other 24 million people taking 24 million walks in Shanghai. 

It’s through a heightened focus on one man’s seemingly unstructured journey that we discover the ultimate protagonist of this story: the transcendent power of using your legs for discovering a city.

‘Walk in Shanghai’ is only an introductory tour of Shanghai's urban streets. The remaining story of Shanghai’s suspense and beauty can only be experienced in person, and through using your legs as the main mode of transport. Shanghai in particular is a great city for walking as its downtown maintains its extensive walkable neighborhoods through the historic preservation of its urban fabric. Above all, JT Singh’s playful artistry is a celebration of the beauty of walking in cities. A visceral pleasure made possible by walkable and human scale urban environments. Walk on!

Winter in Lofoten

Tommaso writes on his video in Vimeo “In March this year I spent a week in Lofoten. I knew the islands already from a previous visit in the summer, however, I wanted to go on Aurora hunting this time. The weather and solar activity play a decisive role, so that a reliable forecast isn’t possible. Everything was more than uncertain and the unpredictable weather changes were the biggest challenge but I was lucky during my visit. In addition to the breathtaking scenery, I was able to experience one of the most impressive natural phenomena.”

Move by Aaron Keigher

According to Aaron’s description on his Vimeo video of Move “Time-lapse photography is a unique tool that can be used to capture this movement. In this short film, I explore how our world is in constant motion and how we move together with it. To help capture this, I used various time-lapse equipment that moves the camera on multiple axises during the shots, adding an additional level of motion to the film. Working on “Move” has been an incredible experience. It has taken me to some of the most unreal landscapes in the Western United States - it is an adventure I will never forget. The miles hiked, gear broken, sleepless nights and months and months spent shooting and editing this film have given me a new appreciation for time-lapse and I am so grateful to be able to share my work with you. I was very excited to once again team up with the great Lou Forestieri for the music for “Move”. His musical and artistic genius is second to none and his composition adds a unique flavor to each and every shot. When I asked Lou to write a unique score for this film, he immediately knew exactly what I wanted and wow, what he wrote is simply amazing! His score helps to bring this time-lapse to life.”
