In this Sony Alpha Universe article, pet photographer Rachel Jezowski shares five practical techniques she uses to create authentic dog portraits. From helping […]

When I recently upgraded my camera kit, I spent a lot of time thinking about the camera body and lenses. Should I get the Canon EOS R5?Which lenses would suit my style of photography?What accessories couldn’t I live without? What I didn’t expect to spend much time thinking about was protection. Then I stopped and thought about how I actually use my gear. As someone who spends a lot of time outdoors, my cameras aren’t sitting safely on a shelf. They’re hiking mountains, bouncing around in the truck, travelling across […]

Canon has done something bold. Rather than trying to build one camera that does everything, they’ve built two cameras for two very different creators. The Canon EOS R6 Mark III is designed for photographers who occasionally shoot video. The Canon EOS R6 V is designed for filmmakers and content creators who occasionally take photos. While they share Canon’s latest imaging technology and outstanding image quality, these cameras aren’t simply different versions of the same body. From the moment you pick them up, it’s clear they were designed with completely different workflows in mind. So […]

It’s real life happening in front of you at full speed, and your job is simple: recognize the moment before it disappears. But street photography in 2026 has evolved into something much bigger.

Capturing cinematic moments, spontaneous human interaction, urban energy, and turning everyday streets into visual stories worth sharing. Whether you’re shooting stills, filming content, or learning how to do both, […]

Photography has evolved at an incredible pace over the last several decades. From manually advancing rolls of film and carefully focusing each frame by hand, to today’s mirrorless cameras capable of tracking subjects with remarkable speed and precision, technology has continually reshaped the way photographers work. Yet despite all the advances, the goal remains the same: capturing meaningful moments and telling compelling stories through images. Few photographers have witnessed that evolution as closely as Andre Ringuette. Having worked through the film era, the introduction of autofocus, the rise of digital […]
