He shoots Linhof Pano cams with Phase One Digital backs. Also shoots Mamiya.
His editors use photoshop. Not HDR, exposure blending...lots of dodge and burning.
Also the reason his shots look ridiculous in person is the printing process he does (cost thousands).
His editing technique isn't really hard. I could teach you how to do it in an hour.
His locations, vision and marketing is what puts him over the top.

That's interesting. When I visited one of his galleries they didn't mention digital at all. Must be part of that genius marketing.
I also noticed they pay a lot of attention to the lighting in the display of the print. I guess if you are going to take out a second mortgage to buy one of his prints you might as well buy some daylight balanced lights to go with the print.

Really hope I don't be slammed for this, but....
He DOES use HDR, I found that out from the Phase One (digital camera he's using) guy who's helped him in the past actually do it. So HDR it is!
My biggest problem with this guy is he has no integrity and flat out lies, point blank, about what he does. It's been so well documented, the lies, I'm surprised he's not in jail - in my world it's called FRAUD. If that's what constitutes 'great marketing', I don't want any part of it.
