How long have you been using ON1 Photo RAW and what do you love about it?

I’ve been using ON1 Software since 2010. ON1 Photo RAW is the perfect blend of power and flexibility. As a photographer, I appreciate its all-in-one approach—allowing me to organize, edit, and retouch my images seamlessly within one application. Its robust RAW processing delivers incredible results, while features like AI-based tools and non-destructive editing let me work efficiently without sacrificing creativity. The customizable interface and responsive performance make it accessible to all photographers, whether they’re beginners or pros. I also love the ease of integrating ON1 Photo RAW into my workflow, saving time while achieving professional-quality edits. It’s a game-changer for modern photography. My favorite ON1 Photo RAW feature is its masking capabilities. If I could offer one piece of advice to anyone new to ON1 Photo RAW it would be to learn the ins and outs of masking. The masking in ON1 is so powerful—you’ll find that it takes your edits to the next level.

What’s always in your camera bag (besides the camera)?

I’m quite a minimalist when I’m out taking pictures—I don’t carry a lot but I always have a tripod with me and a good set of ND filters. You never know when you might stumble across a waterfall.

What inspires your photography style?

I draw inspiration from several photographers. I love the New Topographics style of photographers such as Stephen Shore. I also like the deadpan photography of Judith Joy Ross and the enigmatic photography of Ralph Eugene Meatyard. If I could produce work that blends the three I would be thrilled.

Where’s the best places to follow you?

Like I mentioned, I teach photography through workshops and YouTube, which currently has nearly 400,000 subscribers. You can also sign up for my newsletter and see my other work on my website.
