No matter what form our art takes, for Alex, storytelling is always at the root. Whether he's creating a photograph, film, a zine, or a class.

In this episode of The Darkroom Podcast we spoke to three of our favorite creators: Chris Burkard, Alex Strohl and Alen Palander to get their perspective on how artists can adapt to the current pandemic. Since COVID-19 has pushed us all into isolation, there has been an influx of news on how the creative community should deal with this pandemic. We wanted this episode to stand out from that noise and be highly actionable for anyone listening. After chatting with Chris, Alex and Alen, it's clear that no matter the stage of your career, everyone is deeply effected by this crisis. Many of you have lost gigs, brand work and may even find it hard to stay motivated when all we have is time, we feel that too. We hope this episode helps provide you with some clarity on what you can do to continue growing through this crisis and come out of it stronger. We're always here if you need to talk, so please feel free to reach out to us whenever. Enjoy!

In this episode of The Darkroom Podcast we spoke to travel and lifestyle photographer Andrew Kearns. Coming off two workshops with Moment and Alex Strohl, Andrew dives into what it was like to be in front of the camera. We get into Andrew's past before photography and how online poker funded his music aspirations. Just a few years back, Andrew went on a hike that led him down a path to meeting some of his favorite photographers and now friends. We also talk through some of the ups and downs that Andrew has faced and is overcoming as a full-time creator. 

En el episodio de hoy os vamos a dar algunos consejos sobre trípodes para Fotografía de Paisaje y Sandra nos hablará del fotógrafo Alex Strohl. NUEVOS TALLERES DE FOTOGRAFÍA 2020 Ya están disponibles las fechas para los Talleres de Fotografía de Paisaje que formarán parte de la oferta formativa para el año 2020. Si te apetece acompañarme en nuevas aventuras fotográficas echa un vistazo. Plazas limitadas.  Calendario de Talleres de Fotografía de Paisaje 2020 con Rafa Irusta CONSEJOS SOBRE TRÍPODES PARA FOTOGRAFÍA DE PAISAJE Una de las elecciones importantes al seleccionar nuestro equipo para Fotografía de Paisaje es qué trípode vamos a utilizar. Pero realmente ¿vamos a necesitarlo? Sin duda. Necesitamos mantener estable la cámara durante la sesión fotográfica para evitar vibraciones no deseadas, para fotografiar situaciones con poca luz, largas exposiciones, en fotografía nocturna, etc. Por lo tanto un buen trípode será un elemento indispensable y nuestro mejor aliado. Veamos algunos consejos a la hora de elegirlo: Elige un trípode robusto que soporte holgadamente el peso de tu cámara, más el objetivo más pesado y el kit de filtros completo. Mejor 3 secciones que 4 por el grosor de las patas. A más secciones, el diámetro de cada sección será menor. En cuanto a la altura, debería llegarte al cuello con las patas extendidas y la columna central (si tiene) plegada. Al levantar la columna elevamos el centro de gravedad y provocamos más inestabilidad al colocar la cámara en la rótula. Si tenemos columna central estaremos limitados por la longitud de la misma. Esto es especialmente recomendable en situaciones de rachas de viento muy fuertes. Con esto bajamos el centro de gravedad y acercamos la cámara al suelo para intentar suavizar al máximo las posibles vibraciones. Importante comprar una buena rótula como complemento de las patas para conseguir la mayor estabilidad. A mi me gustan las rótulas de bola y son las que utilizo. Si vas a transportarlo recorriendo grandes distancias te recomiendo un trípode de fibra de carbono, material más ligero que el aluminio. También deberás tener en cuenta el tamaño, más compacto en trípodes de viaje. Hay trípodes que nos permiten abrir las patas con diferentes ángulos y nos ofrecen mucha más flexibilidad a la hora de colocar la cámara buscando composiciones en terrenos irregulares. Además, al abrir las patas del trípode en ángulos muy separados aumentamos la estabilidad. CÓMO COLOCAR EL TRÍPODE Cuando voy a fotografiar una escena y quiero colocar la cámara a la altura de la cara ajusto la altura del trípode de la siguiente forma: Extiendo las diferentes secciones del trípode hasta conseguir la altura necesaria, procurando empezar por las secciones superiores (las más cercanas a la rótula) que son las más robustas y dejando las de diámetro menor para el final. A veces, estas secciones más finas incluso quedan sin extender. Levanto la columna central sólo si es necesario. Al abrir el trípode y buscar la mejor ubicación, suelo colocar el vértice que forman las patas apuntando hacia el sujeto que voy a fotografiar para facilitar mis movimientos e incluso para colocar la mochila debajo. Esto me resulta útil, siempre que no utilice distancias focal cortas (por ejemplo 16 mm), ya que en esos casos es muy probable que aparezca esa pata en el encuadre. Cómo colocar el trípode dependiendo si usamos focales cottas o largas ©Rafa Irusta Si voy a trabajar en una zona de barro o arena, siempre me aseguro de que está bien fijado al suelo. A veces lo coloco sobre unas piedras planas para conseguir una base más estable. Para días de viento, llevo un pulpo elástico que me permite colgar la mochila del gancho central y así aumentar la estabilidad. Tiene una longitud adecuada para que la mochila toque el suelo y que no se balancee mientras está colgada. Acostumbro a revisar frecuentemente los tornillos del trípode para asegurarme de q...

One of the most common questions I get is about how to stand out + how to develop personal style. So when fellow photographer Alex Strohl stopped by the studio, I wanted to get his take on this ever-popular question. If you’re not familiar with Alex’s work, a quick spin on instagram will fill in the blanks. He’s a photographer that tells stories through pictures and film. And when you see his work, there is a distinct thumbprint on it. Developing a personal style is critical. It’s the reason why someone would seek you out vs someone else. It’s the thing that differentiates your work from everyone else. There’s a thousand ways to develop your personal style. In our conversation, Alex shares some of his insights he’s gained along the way. Though each of us may take a different path to get there, there is one constant, and that’s doing a lot of work. So take a listen and then get back to work. :) Enjoy! Today's episode is brought to you by CreativeLive.

In this episode of The Darkroom Podcast we spoke with legendary French photographer Alex Strohl. We hear about the first time Alex picked up a camera to what it took to build a personal brand followed by millions. We talk through the story arc that Alex has crafted for himself, one built on patience for bigger things and a steady taste for travel. Alex draws much of his inspiration for his images outside the realm of photography, often in books that have helped enhance the depth of his work. Now based in his newly built home in Whitefish, Montana, we caught Alex as he just added a set of workshops to help photographers gain technical skills and ultimately take tangible actions in their professional career. As an infinitely curious person, Alex has never stopped learning new skills from others and gives his advice on how to do the same. We took a lot from this episode and hope you do too! Enjoy!

Adam Stevens has been able to make a name for himself as a photographer and filmmaker, traveling all over the globe to some of the most beautiful places you can imagine. Most importantly though, he's living life on his own terms and has a level of freedom that I think many people aspire to. We talk about how Adam was able to get to this point in his life and what advice he has for other people who may be looking to walk a similar path. We also talk about the vegan lifestyle and how that ties into his work. It was great to have a chat and catch up with Adam.

On this episode of the podcast we sit down with photographer, filmmaker, and adventure traveler, Alex Strohl.  We often get emails from fans of the show requesting to have younger shooters on who have found success in the world of photography and filmmaking at an earlier age.  Alex Strohl definitely fits that bill.  With almost 2 million very active instagram followers, a beautiful "globe-spanning" portfolio, his own content production agency, a well received book, and a list of clients that would make most older veterans jealous, Alex has established himself as a force in this industry no matter what his age is.  Alex grew up in Spain and France with parents who were passionate about life, and a nature loving father who told him stories of travel and adventure in far away places.  It was this upbringing that instilled in him a desire to see the world and to experience what else was out there.  While still in high school, Alex found one of his dad's old Olympus cameras and began to experiment with the medium that would end up being his ticket to the travel he dreamed of.  At age 19, Alex left France and moved to Montreal to study graphic design.  It was there that he met Andrea, his future wife, and together they began to create the type of adventures that Alex would build his portfolio from.  After years on the road shooting and traveling, Alex and Andrea have begun to put down roots in Montana, all the while Alex continues to pursue his own passions and nurtures relationships with clients that many dream of working with.  During this conversation we get the chance to ask Alex how it all started, what it's like creating social media campaigns for others, why he chose Montana to put down roots, what keeps him inspired to create, and what advice he gives to other young shooters coming up in this industry.  So enjoy this conversation with Alex Strohl.   To learn more about Alex Strohl Visit: http://www.alexstrohl.com To learn more about Stay and Wander Visit: http://www.stayandwander.com   About Visual Revolutionary: http://www.visualrevolutionary.com Because we are interested in people's story, and not what type of gear they use, we introduce a new much needed podcast in the world of photography and filmmaking.  Featuring in-depth conversations with some of the world's leading photographers, filmmakers, and other visual artists, we are bringing you the backstory on how they got to where they are today.

Full shownotes: http://yourcreativepush.com/alexstrohl In this episode, Alex discusses: -How he got started in photography. -How he and his wife Andrea approach their creative life as photographers. -The different mindsets and strategies that take place depending on the goals of a particular shoot. -The creative differences that he experiences with his wife, Andrea. -The importance of focusing on the things that make you different. -Moving around the world while growing up and how that helped to shape him as a person and a photographer. -Some of the things that hold him back as a creative person. -How it is sometimes difficult for him to be alone with his work for long periods of time. -His advice for people who are struggling with being with their work for too long. -What it is like when he is travelling. -How the story that a photograph is trying to tell is much more important than how polished it is. -His advice for people who are on the fence about quitting their jobs to pursue their creative passion. -The story of his friend, Isaac Johnston and how he made the transition to becoming a professional photographer. -To not be afraid to ask for advice and to also give your own value freely. -One of his best creative moments – an image of Andrea that gave him the ability to continue his career as a photographer.
