My number one tip for great photos…

April 4, 2017

Friends in photography,

Last fall I hiked out to the old abandoned Burwash prison farm with my daughter. That place has been abandoned for over 40 years. Old, dangerous, decrepit….

My kind of place. That images in this post are a small sampling from the hundreds of images I captured.

SEE my facebook album HERE

Like most times, I brought my camera. Not my big professional rig. But my Sony RX10 “point and shoot”.

I say “point and shoot” because it’s more like a point and shoot on steroids.

Not only is it an amazing camera, but it’s small, light and very powerful.

I take that camera with me just about everywhere. Walks, hikes, adventures of all sorts.

When I’m shooting a creative client session I bring the real deal, the “big” camera.


But because I love photography, I still want to practice, shoot, create… even on my downtime.

And that my friend, is the NUMBER ONE tip if you went to get good at taking great photos.

Bring your camera with you. Don’t leave it in the camera bag in the closet.

It’s one reason why I think everyone should invest in a decent point and shoot.
Size matters.

If you own a huge camera, accessories, camera bag, you might be reluctant to take it. It’s intimidating.

Hence, a point and shoot. You get to shoot, practice.

By the way, bringing you IPhone or Android is NOT the same!

It lacks intention. It makes one lazy.

So, get a real camera. A point and shoot will do. And bring it with you. Always.
Yours in the magic of photography,
Robert & Tina Provencher

Do you suffer from PAS?

November 7, 2014 By robprov Leave a Comment

Do you suffer from PAS? Also known as “Picture Avoidance Syndrome” I see it all the time. We all suffer from this common affliction where we have to deal with the fact that there isĀ  a gap between how we see ourselves and how others see us. It’s why even the most beautiful young lady […]

Three BIG reasons why we don’t include digital files in our photography sessions

November 16, 2015 By robprov Leave a Comment

Tina, my wife, and manager of Westmount Photography (the friendly voice on the phone when you call) got asked a not so random question by a random encounter with someone today. “Do you include the files in your sessions.” “We don’t” she replied “we only sell reprints for wall displays and gift giving. However, you […]
