One thing I love about being a photographer is seeing the shot no matter what the subject. These guys were awesome, they stood for me, hung by me till the shots were done and had a genuine curiosity about what the hell was I doing....

Today let's talk tension. This is not always easy for newer photographers to understand but I promise you if you practice this you will create some awesome images. Now what do I mean by tension? Well, simply put its giving your image an edge that cau
