Taylor Brumfield – finding new ways to collaborate

2023 might be the first year in a while that COVID won’t keep us away from each other or the studio, but that doesn’t mean that working together remotely is history. As many photographers have found new ways of working closely with clients who could not join them on a shoot, both parties have discovered that being in the same room is not always necessary to get a good result. We spoke to beauty and product photographer Taylor Brumfield about how she is getting closer to her clients without going anywhere. Taylor Brumfield knows how to grab your attention.

RAW Talent with Alicia Berardelli

  Alicia Berardelli’s own athletic background and passion for sports are impossible to miss in her work. With a graphic and dynamic style of composition playing with light and shadows for added dramatic effect, Alicia uses her camera and her own experience to create a bond with her subjects to showcase their skills and dedication to the sports they do.

Tell us a bit about yourself. Essentially, I have an obsession with light.

2022 is coming to an end. And what a year it has been! Not only did we launch Capture One Live and Capture One Pro 23 with exciting new features like Smart Adjustments and Layers in Styles, but we also jumped into the world of mobile editing with Capture One for iPad. But this post is not about what we did. It is about you. Because you make Capture One what it is by showing the world incredible images and telling stories that bring emotions to life.   This year, you have been busy. In 2022 alone, you and your fellow photographers have imported 2 billion images into Capture One. If we printed just one day’s worth of your images (almost 6 million!) and stacked them, they would reach about three and a half times the height of the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa. Many of you also spent this year working closer than ever with colleagues and clients – even those on the other side of the world. How do we know? Since …
