Things are getting very exciting at Luminous-Landscape. We have a lot of projects in the works. In addition to the workshops that we are announcing and running, we have been writing articles and producing a number of new and different videos.
As our industry moves rapidly to a total digital environment we leave behind our heritage of film and analog photography. As part of a number of new video series, we proudly offer up the first of a series of videos where we sit down and talk with The Masters. These are the men and women who have been in this industry and watched it change – and who have changed with it. They have fascinating stories to tell and exceptional insight to share, gained through their journeys.
Today we invite you to join Kevin Raber, Luminous-Landscape’s publisher and CEO as he sits down with Don Burrell of Burrell Imaging, in Crown Point, Indiana. Don is a man of inexhaustible energy who at his age is still going with energy that any one of us wish we could have. His passion for photography and the people that surround him is a good part of his story. This Video is available HERE for purchase or as part of the annual subscription.

Earlier I shared a collection of some great images of beverages. If you want to know more about how they may have been created, check out these video tutorials.
I offer you another drink! by Ivan Gevaerd on 500px
This first video by Phlearn features photographer Rob Grimm, and walks you through how to photograph a beer bottle and glass of beer. I used to do food photography and beverages were part of that. It’s a very specialized, and highly detailed area of commercial photography that requires a lot of lights, reflectors, and patience. A shoot like this might take several hours to get it just right, and it’s a game of inches moving things into the right places.
See more of Rob’s amazing drink shots on his website.
This next video is by Phillip McCordall as we demonstrates shooting a bottle using a slightly different lighting setup and approach. It’s well done (aside from the slight echo in the audio) and has some good tips.
This last one is by The Slanted Lens and go over how to photograph a bottle and combine it with a photo of a person for the final image. Lighting is key when photographing any kind of beverage. More good tips and a little fun at the end of this one.
So if you are doing this week’s photography challenge, beverages have a watch of these videos and remember to share your images on the challenge page.
