Stuck In Customs HDR Photography - TREY RATCLIFF

Trey does some pretty amazing stuff. You must check out his work and the #1 Travel Photography Blog. The best HDRI Photography Tutorials.

Briefly… a photography-centric bio TREY RATCLIFF

I’m best known for, well, I suppose, this site, StuckInCustoms.com, which has become the #1 Travel Photography Blog on the internet with around 350,000 visits per month including one from my mom. I’m also one of those Flickr dudes; my photos recently passed over 45 million views combined on Flickr & SmugMug. My work first became popular after I had the honor of having the first HDR photo ever to hang in the Smithsonian. After that, I was fortunate enough to be represented by Getty, been featured on the BBC and various other shows, and have had numerous showings around the world.

I am known generally for my interpretation of HDR photography, for which I have an HDR Tutorial right here. I grew up blind in one eye and this might have changed the way I view the world. I don’t know. It’s hard to be objective about the way one’s brain was wired. My background is in computer science and math, so I bring an algorithm-like process to capturing the scene in such a way that it evokes memories in a palpable manner.

My promise to you: one photo every day. This is very hard… to produce 365 photos that I think are worthy every year. I will probably break this promise about 10 times during the year, so it’s really not much of a promise.
