How do you get shallow depth of field in broad daylight without overexposing your image? Using high speed-sync gives you the power as a photographer to create that shallow depth of field look while still maintaining an evenly exposed image.

I took my lovely model Haley out to Tempe Town Lake, just north of the Arizona State University campus to use my high speed-sync in the field.

I use this lighting technology a lot in my work

Great pics, but you didn't explain anything about HSS. You just complimented your model & your surroundings.

im a student of your work for the past 3 years... this is absolutely beautiful... your evolution of style is awesome... love how you can transition from the grunge intense style to this amazing composition of light and color ... i am an absolute fan of your work!!

You know what... Joe's skill is seeing beauty in that cityscape - at first look I would have probably gone meh... but it's is the photographers vision that takes the water, the ripples, the model, and bridges and puts it all together - thanks for opening my eyes to opportunity

Seriously GREAT shit, per usual. And the even more amazing thing about Joel: he's color blind.

I love the results you achieved especially that last one. Almost looks like it was shot in a studio with a backdrop. I'm inspired.

I wish I could have met Joel when I lived in Arizona. Living in the West Valley, being so close to a legend and not getting to meet him is disappointing.

Love your style, the punchy, dramatic portraits. A big fan. Thanks for sharing!

Amazing stuff. Joel, I just learned about you last week. I bought one of your products. I was immediately impressed with not only your prowess but your ability to simplify and share your knowledge in an approachable manner. I can say that all my investments in learning the craft of photography will be done through you. Time to start saving up for your courses. Thanks for this video.
