Storage units have come a long way, and the methods we use for storing our images have evolved greatly over the past few decades. This is why we chose to dedicate one DIYP quiz to storage space! Some of you remember how we stored our early digital images before gigantic external hard drives and cloud […]
There’s no denying just how incredibly powerful Adobe Lightroom has become in the last year. Lightroom’s AI tools and clever single-click masking can take your images to a whole new level. In this excellent tutorial, Glyn Dewis shows you how to add your own background light to a portrait. Super useful if you only had […]

I can see the allure of using AI to fix skin retouching issues or make masking […]
As children, many, if not most of us, were afraid of the dark. In fact, I’m still not quite comfortable with it. But sometimes, the greatest things are born from our greatest fears – and photographer Daniel Sackheim shows it in his latest project Unseen. As a child, you think about what might be lurking […]

When budgets are small, it’s quite common to end up shooting in less-than-perfect locations. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t lift those drab […]

After spotting her taking photos, Lachey approached and tried to snatch her phone. The incident was caught on camera, and the singer was ordered to attend anger management and AA meetings.

We’re big fans of The Slow Mo Guys here on DIYP, and never more so than when they’re doing something destructive. In what seems to be a trend with Gav and Dan in recent months, this video is another collaboration. You might remember they recently did a video with Electroboom that was quite… shocking (sorry!).
