How to Make Unique Portraits Using Light Painting

Using the surprisingly simple technique of light painting you can create a wide variety of portrait styles using only a small flashlight as your light source. I should warn you though, light painting of all kinds can be highly addictive. Once you start, you may not be able to stop. Light painted portrait One of the main things to understand with light painting is that the camera sensor only reads light, if there isn’t any light hitting the person shining the flashlight, they simply do not show up in the image. This allows you to move around...

Week in Review: To boldly go

Posted by on 19th, Jul, 2015 in Blog | 0 comments

And how can you say it’s “adventurism and fantasy” when so much science is coming back? You’ve got it backwards. This is actually the opposite of fantasy: This is reality. No longer do we have to fantasize about what Pluto looks like. Now we have the facts. We are getting actual data that results in advances in geological science. We are no longer making things up. Ironically, if we followed your advice and cut space science, that would leave us exactly where you don’t want to be: Devoid of facts about the...

The imaginative work of Moroccan photographer Achraf Baznani

Posted by on 19th, Jul, 2015 in Blog | 0 comments

So, Jerry Uelsmann, who never used photoshop, wasn’t doing photography? I think that line is a very artificial one other than for photo journalism. The amount of cropping, burning, dodging, white balance adjustment, sharpening, done by most people who say there’s a line really says that there’s an imaginary line. My mentor stays true to that line – he shoots jpg, because he says if you get it right in camera, you don’t need raw. He’s embarrassed by the four images in his recent book that were cropped and...

24 Dark and Mysterious Shadow Images

Light and shadow are key in photography. You cannot have one without the other, and how light is used in the image set the tone and mood of it. Images with high contrast, and strong shadows can be very dramatic. Have a look and see if you agree that these shadow images have a certain mystique about them. I’ll start off with a few of my own images taken on a “shadows” themed photo walk a couple years ago: By Darlene Hildebrandt By Darlene Hildebrandt By Darlene Hildebrandt By hapal By Magdalena Roeseler By Bryon Lippincott By Ian Sane O O by...

Jason Bell’s star portraits

Posted by on 18th, Jul, 2015 in Blog | 0 comments

One of the most revered portraitists in photography spends most of his life on flights, flown in especially to capture the essence of some of the most famous faces in the world. As the Royal Family grows in size, two of Britain’s three monarchs in waiting have effectively been rebranded by one of the world’s very best portraitists. Images, and particularly portraits (as we are reminded by those of princesses past), can imply a great deal.  And in the case of the British royal family, an institution that by...

Arles 2015: North Korea, a Life between Propaganda and Reality

Posted by on 18th, Jul, 2015 in Blog | 0 comments

Alice Wielinga travelled 2500 kilometers through the inlands of North Korea. Blending propaganda material with documentary photographs, she tried to reconcile the self-perception and the reality she encountered, of a country nobody really seems to know. As a photographer, how do you make insightful work about a place where media is as heavily controlled as it is in North Korea, ‘a big black hole on the world map’ where government propaganda is ubiquitous and stage managed photo opportunities are the norm? For Alice...
