About the Next Level

hello. we welcome you to NextLevelPhotos! who are we? we are tien, steve, and nick. what is NextLevelPhotos? it is our collaborative effort to share ideas, discuss concepts, and explore the “next level” of photography. in this endeavor, we don’t claim to provide you with photos so mind-blowing, you think you’ve arrived at photography nirvana. no, we simply strive to share the information we encounter day-to-day that may lead us all to that coveted next level. whether it be discussing the artistry of color, lighting, and composition, the complexity of exposure reciprocity and post-processing techniques, or whether the xbox 360 or playstation 3 is the better gaming console, we hope you enjoy the topics of the day and the images we create to express ourselves.

we are based in palatial southern california—ontario, irvine, and costa mesa to be exact. if you like what you see, and would like to book a photo session, collaborate ideas, or get your ass handed to you in halo, shoot us an email. 

so kick off your shoes, sit back in your favorite chair, and enjoy the banter.
