The Future of Photography Websites – Understanding and Adapting to Trends
Right off the bat, this is not an article about what background colors to use, what plugins to install, or other shallow web design fashion trends. Focusing blindly on bells and whistles (flat design, parallax scrolling, full-width page layouts) won’t actually make your photo website better. Sure, it might make it pretty, but it won’t necessarily be effective. Getting the bigger picture and understanding the WHY behind web design trends will make you better equipped to build a successful photography business. Having worked on over two...
read moreSuccessfully Copy Photos from Your Memory Card to your Computer
Before you can begin editing your photos you need to get them safely off your camera and onto your computer. Unfortunately this process is often hijacked by (well-meaning if misguided) software which purports to do the work for you but leaves you wondering just where your photos really are! So, to help you understand your options for getting your photos onto your computer, here’s what I recommend. First of all: Take Charge! The first thing to understand about getting photos from your camera card or camera onto your computer is that you’re...

Lomography has introduced the LC-A Minitar-1 f/2.8 32mm to its ‘Art’ line of lenses.

The lens will be sold in a Leica M-mount, and is available for pre-order. The new LC-A Minitar-1 features glass optics that are multi-coated for keeping internal reflections to a minimum while maximizing the color...

read moreA Day in the Life of a Service Technician at Sigma’s Aizu Lens Factory
Since 2013, Sigma has been releasing an annual short film that shows how its highly regarded lenses are manufactured in the company’s only factory located in Aizu, Japan. The company just released the third video in the series, which documents the daily life of the customer support department in the factory that services equipment for Sigma shooters. The video is in Japanese, but much of the video is silent visuals. In case you missed them the first time around, here are the first and second videos in the series: (via Sigma via SLR...
read moreShooting Insect Macros on the Cheap with a Reversed Lens
If you’re looking for an inexpensive way to achieve high magnification in your photography, you need to know about the reverse lens macro photography technique. Reverse lens macro photography has allowed me to achieve the magnification I couldn’t come close to with my more expensive equipment. In 2012, I (spent a lot of money and) purchased the Canon EF 180mm ƒ/3.5L Macro lens. A year later, I (yet again spent a lot of money and) purchased the Canon Macro Twin Lite MT-24EX. I spent years begging my husband to let me buy these two...
read more40% of All Camera Sensors Sold in 2014 Were Made by Sony
Sony may not make the world’s most popular smartphones or cameras, but it’s playing a bigger role in those industries than what meets the eye: the company’s image sensor business has been booming in recent years. In 2014, Sony was the company that made 40% of all the sensors sold across the globe. The Wall Street Journal has published a fascinating look at how Sony is banking on image sensor manufacturing as one of the core pillars of the company. Instead of focusing on selling Sony-branded electronics, as the company did in past...

read moreSearching for Two Sisters I Photographed in Nepal
Yesterday I shared the before-and-after photos above. The image on the left was taken on the 22nd April, 2009, almost exactly six years and one week before the image on the right. They show the same street in Bhaktapur, one of Nepal’s most historic cities, before and after last Saturday’s earthquake. In 2009, whilst photographing for a magazine feature, I spent a while photographing these two sisters on their way home from school. One of the images appeared in my first exhibition. Returning to Nepal this week under less happy...

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.
