Relentless – Matt Priest: On the Road to Scotland

October 31, 2013

Over the summer, Matt Priest, Bas Keep and Lima took a little road trip up to Glasgow, Scotland. During their trip they hit a few parks and trails where they filmed for this dialed new video from Relentless that is filled with goodness.

“This summer our BMX rider Matt Priest got together a few of his friends and headed north to Scotland to check out Relentless House Party Glasgow. Along the way he hit up his local trails spot the Woodyard, newly built Corby skatepark, and the famous UNIT 23 skatepark in Glasgow, before finally reaching the Relentless House Party for a few well deserved drinks and live music from Yashin, Bleed from Within and more.”

Halloween BMX Jam at the Gold Coast Compound

October 31, 2013

Over the years, the Gold Coast Compound has been responsible for a huge number of insane riders coming out of Australia. As you can imagine, when they throw a Halloween jam, things get WILD. I’m talking double backflips and huge bangers you just don’t expect to see on the regular! How the hell can everyone do backflip tail whips there?! haha

Through The Lens: Naming Your Price

October 30, 2013

This week’s feature is all about naming your price, getting work and selling your photos. It’s one of those unspoken things within the photography industry. In my honest opinion it would actually be better if people talk a little more about it. As a freelance photographer I’ve officially been on my own, paying my way with what I make off of individual projects. After looking at my “2013 Invoice” folder it looks like I am at 45 projects for the year so far. If you think about it, that’s almost a project a week and the reason I even mention that is to give you an idea of how many times I have had to name a price for my work. As always, and as I have said from day one with this column, this is just my opinion, and you can take it for what it’s worth. I work very hard at what I do and strive to do more, create more, and work more every single year. The last post that I did related to selling photos was back in June of 2012, which you can check out here. I have been asked a lot over the years how to go about pricing photos, selling work, and negotiating with companies so I wanted to give an update on all of that and go a little more in depth about it.
