France’s Ministry of Culture and Communication has published a new report on the state of the photography industry in the country. The study contains numbers that offer an idea of how professional photography has changed over recent years. The 22-page report is the result of a survey given between December 2013 and December 2014 that included 3,000 of France’s estimated 25,000 professional photographers. In the introduction, the authors note that the Internet has made huge impacts on the photography market over the past 15 years,...

After issuing a warning earlier this month that a DNG file bug with its new Monochrom (Typ 246) camera could cause the annihilation of photographers’ Apple Photos libraries, Leica has just issued an updated statement. The company is recommending that photographers using the Monochrom (Typ 246) refrain from using Apple Photos until Apple updates its software with a fix. “Importing Monochrom (Typ 246) files into a Photos or Aperture library will cause the library to repeatedly quit unexpectedly on launch,†Leica says. But the...

The 2014 wedding season was very unique for me. It wasn’t just that I participated on it from “the other side†— I myself became a happy husband — I was also a part of one particularly unconventional wedding photo shoot. “Aren’t we going to shoot some really funny stuff for our wedding?†I was asked by the wife and husband to-be. “There will be some people on Friday too, so they can join us.†My response: “Ok! Why not?†And what happened after my spontaneous and excited consent could be divided into four phases....

In this article you will see how to deal with fast moving objects. For me shooting action is the most fun you can have with your photography. You can freeze that instant split second that the human eye couldn’t even comprehend, and capture it in an image for all time. 1/6400, f/6.3. ISO 800 Last weekend I was lucky enough to shoot a bicycle charity event in the countryside. The sun was out, the birds were singing and there was enough cyclists, kids activities, and local celebrities to keep me shooting non-stop for the day. As I was...

Timothy Prus, curator of the Archive of Modern Conflict, shows BJP his latest creation, a mediation on nineteenth century science and anthropology, presented in a Shakespearean drama. It’s not particularly easy to locate the Archive of Modern Conflict. It lies behind a side-door, down an unmarked path, tucked back from one of the more modest streets of Kensington. Holland Park lies just to the north, with its open-air opera nights, Japanese gardens and lining of grand mansions. To the east is High Street Kensington and...

Here’s a photo shoot idea that you probably shouldn’t try yourself. Photographer Jake Harsh recently did a wild photo shoot with the electro-pop band Hand of Hearts that involved 18 pounds of fireworks exploding around the three band members. The short behind-the-scenes video above shows what the intense shoot was like. “[W]hen you’ve got something so unpredictable involved, sometimes its about getting lucky and being okay with imperfection,†Harsh writes. The three “very brave†band members each word sunglasses for eye...

The reflector on the front of the shirt folds down to light your face up. The whole thing appears to be a joke or an art project like the Selfie Arm, but the Kickstarter campaign for funding this idea is quite real — 5 people have already pledged $395 toward the $500,000 goal at the time of this post....
