Building a photography community has brought the need to acknowledge photographers in their early stages of photography as a business who show exceptional work. Therefore, we are starting the ‘Photographer of the Month’ chosen by the Right Light Photography giving the spotlight to those in our photography community that deserve acknowledgement for their contribution, photography style, and business. Once a month, we will be sharing a BIO, interview, and everything that is special about our chosen photographer! So, keep your eyes open for our monthly photographer of the month and help me introduce May’s Photographer of the Month: Amanda Theis.

For some time now, we have been sponsored by ThinkTank Photo, a leading company in quality camera accessories. As a photographer, I have in the past cut corners or gotten the “cheaper” brand of accessories, like camera straps and bags because I figured they were not worth spending the little extra to get the really nice brands. Now, let me tell you! With less quality comes more chance that this equipment will wear out quickly or lack full protection for your valuable camera and other camera equipment. Do not take the risk! Believe me, it is not worth it. Plus, if you have to buy a new camera bag every 2 years because the straps have worn down, or the zipper has broken then in reality you are spending more money in the long run. ThinkTank Photo allows you to invest in stylish and practical camera equipment for slightly higher price than the cheap brands and infinitely higher quality to last you a lifetime!

Not only is this camera bag extremely convenient, masterfully constructed, and fashionable, this camera bag is the prize that is being offered for the 3rd place best judged photo along with $50 CASH in our current photography contest, “A Place of Beauty”! The awesome bag I am talking about is, the ThinkTank Photo Retrospective 20 in Pinestone color. 

This bag is constructed with foam inserts that are removable to customize your camera bag and protect your equipment. And like all of ThinkTank Photos equipment it is made with extreme quality materials and construction. The Retrospective series for ThinkTank Photo had the product designers to “blend the look and feel of “old-school” camera bags and infuse it with “new-school” features and technology for the digital imaging age.

Our newest contest, “A Place of Beauty”, has had the honor of being sponsored by multiple leading photography companies including the incredible Tamron, an amazing company we use, recommend, and love here at the Right Light Photography. Tamron loves to promote sharing the amazing photos you all capture, as well as fostering the passion of photography. As stated in their mission statement: Tamron is a recognized leader in the manufacture of precision optics, offering a broad selection of meticulously engineered interchangeable lenses for professional photographers and photo enthusiasts. This sums up the quality Tamron offers as a company and the wide variety of lenses they sell for all cameras including your brand camera like Canon or Nikon. Tamron builds and constructs these lenses to have incredible optics and features that are comparable to the brand name lenses for a fraction of the price. They are truly a stellar brand that has a lot to offer in photographic, CCTV & IP lenses. As well as, lenses for video cameras, optical devices, and so much more. I have attached the links to a couple of the equipment recommendations we have done in the past for Tamron’s amazing products.

Welcome to our most awesome contest yet!Not only will we be throwing our first ever OPEN contest, where we give the power to the photographer, but the prizes are bigger and better than ever! We have the honor of having this contest sponsored by George’s Camera, ThinkTank Photo & Tamron lenses.


This contest is going to be open to interpretation setting only a simple tone, “A place of beauty”! We want to see what inspires you as a photographer personally and want a little insight on where you see beauty in your world. This can take you to a beautiful sunset, to two people holding hands, to an open road in front of your car with clear skies. True beauty can even be found in a simmering cup of coffee in the morning! (I sure know that’s beautiful for me when I’m getting up early). We want to see where your passion for photography leads you and the beauty you can capture with your own unique perspective. These photos should entice and inspire us, as well as show how limitless creativity and beauty can be!

Due to the grand scope of prizes including CASH, we are opening this contest to everyone with up to 3 entries costing $10 for one photo, $17 for two and $20 for three photos. Not only are the cash prizes bringing a new excitement and incentive to this contest, but the new sponsorship and popularity of these contests has brought the prizes up in value to over $1,500 (see below). The entry fee is to ensure serious entries and promote support and increased attention to critique the photos. We want to show that beauty and good photography come from everything in the world and it can be defined by you!
