01 | A MOBILE PHOTOGRAPHY ADVENTURE IN LOFOTEN WITH RUSSELL BROWN
“Recently I went on the trip of a lifetime to join Dave Williams on his Due North expedition in Northern Norway, and I had the opportunity to get my hands on the new Platypod eXtreme and Platyball Elite to use in a photoshoot with the incredible local dress designer, Kristina Sidlauskaite. Our adventure led us to many of Lofoten’s beautiful, iconic locations, but having a model with such stunning dresses made a huge difference in allowing me the opportunity to create some unique images.”

02 | PLATYPOD FLASH MOBILE PHOTOGRAPHY WITH DAVE WILLIAMS
“Over the past year I’ve been experimenting more and more with flash photography on iPhone, and it’s been a very powerful experience. I want to write today about the way I recently used the Platypod eXtreme, Platyball Elite, Peak Design Mobile Creator Kit, and Profoto C1 Plus with the Profoto Camera App for iPhone. Here’s what I did with all that: -
In Lofoten, Norway, with Russell Preston Brown, Senior Principal Designer at Adobe, I headed out for a mobile photography adventure. Our basecamp in Lofoten was Svinøya Rorbuer (https://www.svinoya.no/en). Svinøya is the name of the island and the word Rorbuer relates to those quaint little red fishing cabins familiar to many scenes from this beautiful part of Arctic Norway. The area is on the Gulf
Stream which makes for extremely rich fishing grounds, so it makes sense that fish is the number one industry and has been for a very long time. One of Russell’s creative visions for this trip was to transform himself into a fisherman for a series of self-portraits. We headed inside a historically accurate rorbuer dating back to 1828, preserved in a style that truly represents the way these cabins looked. Russell wore a woolen jumper and looked just right for the shoot.”
03 | NATURE CREATES THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PICTURES WITH JEFFREY MCPHEETERS
“Perhaps an understatement; but perspective can arrest the eye to notice something easily overlooked or it can obscure interest, all depending upon how well the perspective serves the photographer’s purpose and shows the subject in an interesting and captivating light. I sometimes use a very low angle to get a fresh perspective, placing the camera as close to the ground as possible, even when photographing something in space.”
