The 2026 ARRMA MOJAVE 6S V3 is a 1/7-scale brushless RC desert truck built for serious off-road performance. I'm taking a closer look at its features, upgrades, and 6S power while putting my Sony a1 and Tamron 35-150mm to work capturing high-speed action photography, flying gravel, and dramatic dust trails.

Most of my product photography jobs start around $1,000. Some land right there. Some go well past it. Here is what moves the price, how licensing works, and what to send me for an accurate quote.

I shot the Tamron 12-20mm F2.8 on my Sony a1 for a weekend on Anna Maria Island, Florida. Here is how the 12mm view, aperture ring, VXD autofocus, close focus and rear filter system hold up in real use.

Apple’s long-rumored foldable iPhone is finally here, and its official name is iPhone Duo. Here’s what the iPhone Fold actually costs, when it ships, how the camera and 7.6-inch display work, and what matters before buying one.

Apple announced both phones on September 9. The iPhone 18 Pro has three lenses, a variable aperture, and a 100mm telephoto. The $1,999 iPhone Duo has two lenses and no telephoto. Here is which one I would actually buy.

AI advertising entered its disclosure phase in 2026. New York regulates synthetic performers, Amazon requires metadata, and EU AI Act transparency obligations now apply. Here is what a marketing team actually has to track.

My photos have passed 36 million views on Google Maps. That does not make photography a local ranking switch. It does show, at enormous scale, how people actually meet a business before they ever walk in.

Sony made a non-binding proposal to acquire Tamron. I am a Tamron Americas Ambassador and I shoot these lenses on paid work, so my interest is not the corporate headline. It is what E, Z, RF and X shooters should actually do next.

Tamron's new 12-20mm F2.8 creates a real decision for anyone already looking at the 16-30mm f/2.8 G2. I shoot the 16-30 on paid commercial work. Here is how I would choose between extreme width and a range you can leave mounted.

The sixth-generation 4Runner is new enough that its problem list is still forming. I own a 2025 TRD Sport, so I track this closely. Here is what owners are reporting, what Toyota has actually documented, and how to keep the two separate.

The biggest iPhone 18 Pro camera story is not a megapixel number. It is variable aperture, and it would be the first genuinely optical change to an iPhone camera in years. Here is what it changes, what it does not, and what is still a rumour.

Amazon's AI image requirement is narrower than most sellers think. Here is exactly when the contains-synthetic-performer tag applies, what is exempt, and the ordinary main-image rule that is far more likely to pull your listing out of search.

Amazon needs compliant images. Customers need convincing images. A good product photo set does both. Here are the Amazon product image requirements sellers need before they list, plus what to ship to a product photographer in Pittsburgh.

The Tamron 35-100mm f/2.8 Di III VXD (Model A078) is the lighter, more affordable sibling to the lens I shoot more than any other — the Tamron 35-150. Released March 2026 at $899, it weighs half what the 35-150 weighs and is built around the four focal lengths working photographers actually use. Here's how it fits into a Sony a1 kit alongside the 35-150, and which one belongs in your bag.

The Tamron 35-100 weighs half what the 35-150 weighs and costs half as much. But the 35-150 has 50mm more reach and an f/2 wide end. So which one belongs in your bag? I own and shoot both on a Sony a1 across paid client work — here's the working photographer's breakdown.

I bought the Kuat Piston Pro X with my own money after months of going back and forth on every bike rack worth considering. Two months in, hauling mountain bikes on backroads and a road trip to upstate New York, the answer is simple: this is the rack I should have bought first.

Every "best Pittsburgh photo spots" list I've read was written by someone who googled it. This one wasn't. 13 locations I actually shoot, with light and lens notes for each.

I shoot dutch angles on almost every shoot — photo, video, commercial, personal, and especially anything vertical. Here's what the technique actually is, when to use it, and how to tilt the frame so it reads intentional instead of accidental.
