Photo Tip: Storytelling in Photography
Feb 22, 202100:01:58Tap to summarizeHello Photo Adventurers! If you’re anything like me, it’s hard not to get excited to hit the trail. If you’re on a photo trek, consider telling your story by documenting your adventure. In this short video, I introduce my approach to one of my favorite winter photo treks to Portage Glacier! Points for telling your story: Consider sharing the preparation of your trek or trip, like packing and logistics. Document the travel, you may not use it, but at least you have it should anything exciting happen along the way that really makes the adventure noteworthy. Don’t forget the establishing shots that mark the beginning of your adventure. What does all the gear look like? What’s the weather like? Are there any landmarks that identify your destination or location? How about signage? While you’re photographing en route to your final destination, don’t forget some trail shots. If your trek is going to be a workout, it’s always fun to show how dirty we get along the way! You’ve arrived at the big location! If you’re the first one on there, sometimes getting a shot of the landscape untouched will add more to your story. After all the beautiful shots have been taken… Don’t forget to have a little fun by taking selfies, hero shots, and the like. Always remember the beginning, middle, and end. Humanize your adventure, because that authenticity really connects people to the experience and the winning photo. Have a tip I missed? Please share in the comment section below. – Thanks, Scott!

Sanity Saver: Moose in Forest
Jun 2, 201600:02:53Tap to summarizeFilmed in Kincaid Park in Anchorage, Alaska Two young bull moose at play in the forest, while a mature adult bull pursues a cow. We while out looking for moose to film, it wasn't long before we found ourselves surrounded by moose. At this location, we never moved more than maybe 15 feet the entire time.

SanitySaver: Shelter from the Storm
Oct 22, 201300:02:28Tap to summarizeSanity Saver: Shelter from the Storm Traditionally the Sanity Savers were produced from unused footage and calming soundtracks featuring independent music artists. This past summer a fellow photographer David Taylor and I found ourselves pinned down in a tent high up in the mountains during a lightning storm. It’s seriously an unnerving situation. The questions and strategies rolled out like – Do we descend down the mountain in heavy downpour on very wet terrain, risk falling or being struck? Do we stay put in a tent surrounded by aluminum rods? Eventually we opted for the later, hoping the air mattresses we were sitting on would isolate us from being grounded. Crazy as that sounds, I don’t think there was a real win situation. Sitting there in the tent I decided to save my sanity and film the experience, which I think now actually feels more calm than we felt at the time.

Oct 22, 201300:02:49Tap to summarizeBehind the Lens: Create space in your life Something a bit different, but felt it was worth sharing. Hiking out of the Chugach after a long afternoon observing moose and capturing some great moments, I had a few thoughts I wanted to share. (Give it a watch) Yes, I know, it's sentimental. And I do realize how blessed I am in the grand scheme of things, but what is it I'm doing here on Alaska HDTV? In retrospect I could have created any travel blog I wanted, featuring various worldly places and spaces, and there's nothing wrong with that. Alaska to me is about our mountain air, grand spaces, and hospitality you receive at a getaway down some long country road, which all lures me out time and time again. I've learned we're all malnourished spiritually from time to time or all the time, lacking a desperate need for Space and Authenticity. Our habitat is what guides and forms us as humans. If there is one thing I want you to extract from everything here at Alaska HDTV - Create space in your life and move through it often. Serenity of the spirit cannot be achieved until we become masters of our own action and attitudes. My intention here is to remind all of us to free up the emotional space in your life. It's been a theme for me lately - making room for good things to move into my life. It's out there in the wide open spaces I feel we can find our center when we're lost. Deep perhaps.. I figured it was worth putting out there. I suppose this is what I've done through my craft here, celebrate that personal space we all need. In the end I've surrounded myself with like-minded friends like you, and seen some incredible spaces! Thank you and Cheers, -Scott
