Hey, I’m Paul Strople — a landscape and adventure photographer based in the Pacific Northwest.

On this channel, I share practical tutorials, behind-the-scenes photo shoots, gear reviews, and tips for creatives who want to get the most out of their camera — without overcomplicating things.

Whether you’re just getting started or growing your photography skills, you’ll find real-world insight from a working photographer who’s still learning, experimenting, and doing it for the love of it.

You’ll also see some of my favorite tools, gear, and setups — and I’ll always be honest about what works and what’s worth your money.

Thanks for being here. Feel free to reach out!

Well, I haven't posted a proper video in 5 months, but that'll be changing soon! I'm back, and brewing up some cool stuff!

Hey guys! Just a quick PSA letting you know there won't be an upload this week(end) as I am in-between back-to-back trips and am headed out of state for a couple days tomorrow. Normal upload schedule will resume next week.
Bless y'all!

Hey guys! Just wanted to say thanks for all the views, comments and engagement on my latest video! It really means a lot! I also wanted to let you guys know that there won't be a video this weekend, as I have been dealing with kidney stones and not feeling well. However, I aim to have a double upload next week if possible!
Have a good weekend!

Hey All! This week's upload might be a bit delayed! It's going to be a longer video, and needs more editing time. I hope to have it uploaded by tomorrow (Tuesday, Feb, 10th.)

Hello All! It's been awhile since my last post and my last video upload! I'm currently in the process of moving to Washington state, and life is a little wild right now. I'm hoping to get at least one more video out before the end of the year, so keep your eyes open for that!

Hello everyone!
First, THANK YOU for 1,000 Subscribers! I'm so excited to keep making content for you all!
Second, I am currently getting over a nasty respiratory infection, so there probably won't be a video this week. Sorry!
That said, I am currently eyeballs deep in research trying to decide what to make for my next video, and I could use your help! I have several different ideas, but I want to make something you guys want to see! So, if you would be so kind as to participate in the poll below, I'd greatly appreciate it!
Thanks!

This.
This is absolutely incredible.

Go watch this everyone!!!

Side note for those of you who are subscribed, what are your thoughts on potentially seeing things of this style (that calm, relaxing, almost ASMR, but heavily focused on good visuals) shot on the Fuji system? I’ve been wanting to really push my X-T4 to its limits for cinematography, and I feel like something like this that’s focused on visuals, sound and story would be a great means to do just that.
Thoughts?

Greetings everyone!
I know I haven't posted on this channel in awhile. Life has been crazy!
I enrolled in tech school, then quit that to pursue business, so... yeah.
Anyway, I'll be posting video content regularly again soon!
Thanks for your continued support! (And a hearty welcome to all the new subscribers!)
