Is this the best budget wall art option out there?
In this video, I review the LumaPrint 16x24" Foam-Mounted Glossy Fine Art Paper Print with a 0.50" border. At just $26.05, it promises gallery-style presentation without breaking the bank.

I’ll walk you through:

Unboxing and first impressions
Print quality and color reproduction
Foam mounting finish and durability
Whether the 0.50” bleed adds value or feels unnecessary
My honest take on how it compares to more expensive options

This could be a great solution for photographers, artists, or anyone looking to decorate on a budget.

Rules are meant to be broken—except when it comes to expired sushi. But in photography? That’s a different story.
In this quick, beginner-friendly episode of Shoot Happens, we’re diving into one of the most popular composition techniques: the Rule of Thirds.

I’ll show you what it is, how to use it to instantly level up your shots, and—maybe more importantly—when it’s totally okay to break it.

You’ll learn:
✅ How to make your images more balanced and eye-catching
✅ Why pros love this rule (and when they ignore it)
✅ Real examples of when to follow vs. ditch the grid

For the first time on this channel, I'm reviewing TWO framed and mounted paper prints—back to back—from LumaPrints. Known for delivering quality at an affordable price, LumaPrints impressed me a couple years back with one of their canvas prints… and now they’re back on the test bench.

In this video, I unbox and review both prints—each with different framing and mounting options—and they both came in under $100! Are they worth it? How’s the packaging? What about print quality, color accuracy, and presentation?

Whether you're decorating your home, upgrading your office, or gifting art on a budget, this side-by-side review will help you decide if LumaPrints is the real deal.

✔️ Practical examples for daylight, indoor, and night shots
