Olivia Rose’s Boy London

100 Olivia Rose, fearless portrait photographer and self-confessed roaming sociologist, lights up the fashion world via London’s backstreets “This is one of my good friends Dapper,” Olivia Rose points out, as we pore over the many strikingly wistful close-ups that fill her portfolio. “He was arrested for carrying a corkscrew, for which he was going to open a bottle of wine. He went to prison for that! Oh, and this is Terry. Look at his double grill. His son’s name is Terry, and his dad’s name is Terry; he’s...

Shutterdial offers Flickr searches based on EXIF

Despite the service’s recent major update, Flickr doesn’t yet offer a way for users to search content based on camera settings. Shutterdial, a website from photographer Tianhe Yang, fills that void by using the Flickr API to offer photo searches based on four criteria: subject, focal length, shutter speed and aperture. Using this, photographers can search out photos taken with specific settings for inspiration or how-to help. Shutterdial uses a simple interface with four possible settings. After selecting...

The Long Journey of ‘The Long Night’: Tim Matsui’s work to document underage sex trafficking in the US

\n \n The documentary explores the topic from several perspectives; the police, caseworkers and families as well as the girls themselves, and many of the characters in the film are shockingly open with Matsui’s camera. \n The Long Night was completed as a feature more than a year ago, but Matsui continues to devote his energies to getting the project seen and raising awareness of the twin problems of teenage runaways and sex trafficking. The film has already won...

Photographing the 2013 Opening of Leica Store LA

It might be old news that Leica opened a store in Los Angeles back in 2013, but nonetheless, it’s still a place that will be an important photography destination for years to come and definitely worth a visit if you’re in L.A. Photographer Art Gray was on-hand (shooting on a Leica of course) to document the opening of the three-level, 8,000 square foot superstore — a space that includes a 1,000-pound stainless steel sculpture by Liao Yibai in the form of a massive representation of a Leica aptly titled “Fake Leica” (and with...

Shooting Weddings with a $20 CCTV Lens

Shooting Weddings with a $20 CCTV Lens

A while back, I came across an article about using a super cheap CCTV lens. The results to me looked something like a Voigtlander f/0.95 but for a tiny fraction of the cost. I picked one up off eBay for something like $20 a year or so ago. It’s as cheaply made as you’d expect (although with a metal barrel) and it comes apart easily. The focusing is tricky and everything feels a bit like a ‘toy’ lens. It vignettes like crazy. There are tons of chromatic aberration. The sweet spot of focus is very small. Any enlarging of a photo...

This is a Real Photo of Food Cut Into Perfect Cubes

This is a real, non-manipulated photo of 98 different foods cut into perfectly little 2.5cm cubes. It was created by Netherlands-based design studio Lernert & Sander at the request of the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant for a special issue on food. The designers transformed a wide variety of unprocessed foods (e.g. fruits, vegetables, meats) into tiny cubes and arranged them into a neat grid formation for this eye-popping photo. Here are a few crops that give you a closer look and better idea at what these cubes are like: You can...

Yikes: Leica Monochrom DNG Bug Can Wipe Out Your Apple Photos Library

Leica has discovered a serious bug that owners of the new Monochrom (Typ 246) need to be aware of. The camera’s DNG files have been found to be incompatible with Apple’s new Photos app. It’s not just that they can’t be opened: the files could corrupt your library and cause you to lose your entire photo collection. In a product advisory first published over at Red Dot Forum, Leica says that loading Monochrom DNG files will cause Apple Photos to “crash continuously on loading.” “This may cause the Apple Photos library to be...

Shutterdial Lets You Search Through Flickr Photos by Camera Settings

Flickr rolled out a new search engine last week, but one thing it still lacks is a way to search by EXIF data. A new website has launched to fill that hole. Called shutterdial, it’s a Flickr search engine that lets you find photos by camera settings such as focal length, aperture, and shutter speed. The service was created by photographer and developer Tianhe Yang, who’s an avid Flickr user himself. Yang says that he has long wished for a tool that could find great images “taken at the various settings available” on his own...

Shore Diving Underwater Photography

  By Michael Zeigler and Todd Winner   One of the best things about being a diver in Southern California is the relatively easy access to a magnificent array of dive sites along the coast of the temperate Pacific. Kelp forests have made a comeback along the coasts of Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego counties, and with the newly formed Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in place, the flora and fauna are showing signs of how the underwater world looked in years past.   ...

Building Cultural Friendships with Photography

As a photographer you’re probably always looking for ways to expand your subject range, or trying to find new ways to shoot your favorite genre with a twist. That means your neighborhood has been thoroughly explored, your family has seen less of you in person, and more of you behind a lens and any event, big or small, is an opportunity. One great solution is to travel! But translating your passion from your local environment that you know so well, to a place that you have never been, much less don’t speak the language or have any idea...

A new service sets out to challenge all that, advocating a DIY approach How do you make a living out of photography? Declining budgets in editorial and stock have seen many image-makers heading for fine art, selling editioned prints in a bid to recoup their costs and, hopefully, make a healthy profit.

Dougie Wallace and his urban gutter stars

320 The man they call Glasweegee expounds on his photographs of Blackpool stag and hen nights, Shoreditch wildlife, and the streets of his native Glasgow. The first picture in Dougie Wallace’s Blackpool series was of a man – “pissing himself laughing and bollock-naked” – securely wrapped to a lamp post by a few hundred meters of clingflim. “He should know better,” one of the lad’s mates said to Dougie as he framed the shot. “He’s been married three times before.” “Even when photographers are most...
