A Note on Equipment

Tim Laman uses a wide variety of equipment for his cinematography and photography work above and below water, including a RED Digital Cinema Helium 8K camera, Canon, Nikon, or Sony SLR and Mirrorless cameras for different applications, as well as GoPros and iPhones.  Gitzo and Sachtler tripods and heads, dji drones, Nauticam underwater housings, Cognysis camera traps, and many other accessories.  Different situations require different tools, and it is an equipment intensive business for sure.  But as you have probably heard before, it’s not the camera that makes the image, it’s the photographer.  So don’t obsess about equipment, and work with what you have to create good stories.  The tools we have at our disposal today for visual storytelling are incredible, and the possibilities are endless.

Tim has been an affiliate of RED Digital Cinema since 2015.  See his interview “Tim Laman Talks Stills and Motion Capture with RED” on their website.

Tim has been an ambassador for Gitzo tripods since 2017.  When they approached him about this opportunity, he had already been a user of Gitzo tripods for over twenty years.  They are simply the best….  Please use the code TIMLAMAN10 to receive 10% off all products (except for new product launches) on top of website prices!

You will see these camera covers protecting Tim’s lenses, and helping to camouflage his remote cameras in numerous situations. 

Tim does a lot of work from blinds (or hides if you prefer), and has found none better or more full-featured for photographers than those made by Tragopan.  Check them out.

Tim is proud to be an Ambassador for Tragopan Photography Blinds.

Tim has been a contributing photographer for Patagonia for over thirty years, and his images regularly appear on their websites and in their catalogs.

Tim is an Ambassador for the BOLDR Supply Co., maker of rugged watches including the “Vogelkop Superb” timepiece that was inspired by Tim’s photographs of that species. Check them out at www.boldrsupply.co.

Chasing rainbows and diving the word’s richest c Chasing rainbows and diving the word’s richest coral reefs…. Since today is World Biodiversity Day, I wanted to share some video from one of my favorite places - the Raja Ampat Islands in West Papua, Indonesia.  I’ve always been drawn to the planet’s most diverse habitats - rain forests and coral reefs.  I’m fascinated by the diversity of life forms that they can support, and the wonders of evolution that created all that diversity, and the mystery of how it all coexists.  It’s fascinating and wonderful to spend time in these places.  I’ve devoted my career to telling the stories of wild places like this and the creatures that inhabit them, and spreading the word on the importance of protecting nature.  Raja Ampat has been documented to have the highest diversity of corals and fish of any place in the world. 

Thanks for your interest and support, and I hope that together we can make a difference for the wild places and biodiversity of our planet that is worth saving in its own right, but also critical for a healthy planet!

And take note fellow underwater photographers.  There is still space on our photo workshop this August in Raja Ampat if you want to experience this amazing place and work on your photography.  Follow the link in my bio for details.  Responsible eco-tourism helps to protect these reefs.
