Having spent years working in the hospitality industry, the Charlotte-based creative, says he fell into his current discipline when he was asked to start photographing the food and the interiors of restaurants in the buzzing town of Charlotte. Prior to that twist of fate, Pope was already artistically inclined, pursuing illustration in high school and later switching to music in college, where he studied jazz and classical guitar.

NOTE: This article discusses an older version of Capture One Pro. To learn more about our latest version, click here. On Thursday, July 22, Capture One launched a new update (14.3.0) for Capture One 21. Designed to increase functionality and reduce complexity across the varied workflows, the update aimed to meet the evolving needs of the Capture One community – a community of professionals both rich and diverse in their needs.

We hope that this feedback can evolve into a positive conversation – one that will allow us to better understand how to meet the …
