The Photocaptionist, a platform set up by Federica Chiocchetti devoted to the relationship between images and words, presents a monthly series of photo-literary explorations. Here, she responds to an image from David Fathi’s series Anecdotal, exploring the myths and metaphors surrounding the atomic bomb.

DeGroot, The Bomb: A Life, 2005: “The bomb will...
read moreDelicate Demons: do women belong in the home?
A new collaborative series from two Finnish photographers transgresses traditional notions of women belonging in the home. Delicate Demons is a collaborative, ongoing project between Finnish photographers Satu Haavisto and Aino Kannisto, in which women are meticulously staged in domestic spaces. The spaces in the photographs are tight, with a room corner in most of the scenes, compressing the viewer and the subject into an uncomfortably proximal relationship and emphasising the sense of home as a potentially oppressive...
read moreFacebook’s Moments app allows for private sharing of images
Facebook has announced a new standalone app for iOS and Android called Moments. Moments allows you to share and sync images from events, such as trips, weddings, parties, nights out or similar, between a private group of users, in a very similar way to the Kolektio app that was launched only two weeks ago. Users can create collaborative image albums that all invited contributors can upload their images to for sharing between friends. The app uses the same facial recognition technology as the Facebook tagging feature to sort images on...
read moreSony adds XAVC S and high bitrate video to a6000
I am a photographer that is actually a portraitist, and I print some of my pictures in big (if not huge) sizes, so resolution matter in this case. Not noise, if stochastic, I could live with that, the same way I accepted noise in film, if it doesn’t look like a digital artefact. Noise is not an issue if the truth of the subject appears clearly, even behind it. Source Article from...

The Fujifilm X-T10 is one of the cameras to gain Raw support in this update. Adobe has released the latest iterations of its Camera Raw plug-in and DNG converter software. In addition to adding support for more cameras and lenses, a number of useful new features have been added. The first new feature is a ‘dehaze’ function that gives users a slider to remove – or add – the amount of haze or fog in an image. Next up are local adjustment sliders for whites and blacks, with gradiant filters, radiant...

Camera gear rental company LensProToGo just had its headquarters broken into, and as much as $500,000 in equipment may have been stolen by robbers. According to a Facebook post published earlier today, employees arrived at the headquarters in Concord, Massachusetts, this morning to find a window of the office smashed and turned into a gaping hole. “An unknown amount of gear mostly Nikon, Canon and Sony equipment was taken out through the new ‘hole in the wall’ and smashed window,” the company says in a press release.

Facebook today launched a new standalone app called Moments that’s designed to help friends build collaborative photo albums for easy sharing of memories. From big events like weddings to smaller ones like a kayaking trip or a night out, the app helps you gather photos taken from multiple points of view and make them available to everyone in your group. The app groups photographs on your phone based on time and people (using facial recognition). Groups of photos can be synced with specific friends, and those friends can choose to sync...
read moreThe Tesseract Scene in Interstellar was Shot Using a Physical Set
It’s always neat when photographers and film directors opt for creative and ambitious physical sets and effects rather than relying primarily on computer generated imagery. One interesting recent example is the mind-bending tesseract scene in the hit movie Interstellar. Rather than portray time as a dimension using CGI, director Christopher Nolan and his crew built a giant and complex physical set. Here’s a 9-minute behind-the-scenes video in which Nolan and company talk about how the set came together after months of brainstorming,...

Remember that photo of a weasel riding on a woodpeckers back that went viral earlier this year? A similarly strange wildlife shot has emerged, and this one is making the rounds on the Web as well. It’s a bizarre photo of a raccoon riding on the back of an alligator in a river. The Florida Times-Union reports that the picture was captured this weekend by a man named Richard Jones who was exploring the Oklawaha River in central Florida with his family. Jones’ son made a sound that spooked the raccoon, causing it to hop onto the...
read moreCanon Patents an EF 10mm f/2.8 Lens, an Ultra-Ultra-Wide Prime
Canon may be planning to create one of the world’s widest non-fisheye prime lenses. A new patent shows the internal design of a 10mm f/2.8 lens for full frame sensors. The Japanese website Egami spotted the patent (#2015-102620), which was published earlier this month. There aren’t many details except for the basic fact that Canon filed a patent for this lens back in 2013. Earlier this year, Canon already announced a new ultra-wide zoom lens, the Canon 11-24mm f/4L, which boasts the widest angle of view ever achieved for a rectilinear...

How many should you...
read moreHow to Pose Groups for Portrait Photography
For many years the gold standard for posing groups looked just like my first grade school photo. Everybody would be lined up and asked to stand as awkwardly as possible, feet together and for the lucky ones in the front, hands clasped together in their laps. The photographer would shoot two frames (one for safety) and count every one in with a “1..2..3…say cheese” my grade one teacher Mrs. Witchell was way too cool to do cheese. She busted out her own version of Blue Steel instead. Respect. Sadly this style of posing large groups is still...

Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
