read moreJet Set: The travel photography and photojournalism of Mark Edward Harris
You’re sidestepping the issue. The entire “North Korea” rant… Non sequitur, I’m not going further there. The issue isn’t what I think, and it’s certainly not your grandiose self-entitled “free world” nonsense. The issue is what those three ladies thought. I don’t care whether that matters to you or not. Your rights end where the rights of another begin. Wearing a beret and being an “artiste” won’t change that. Neither will strawman arguments about totalitarian...

Grantham first shot studio portraits of the subjects and then asked them to pick something in their districts that meant something to them or the people they represented. Grantham then re-exposed the original...

read moreRecreating the Look of Tintype Photography Using Photoshop
The other night I came across the work of photographer Victoria Will, who made real tintype portraits of some actors who attended this year’s Sundance Film Festival. The portraits themselves were excellent but what really drew me in was the effect of the tintype medium and the old lens and camera that was used to make the images; very narrow depth of field, low tonal range, and non-uniform exposure across the frame. I decided I wanted to see if I could replicate the look of tintype using my Sony A7R and some Photoshop massaging....

The beauty dish. It’s one of my favorite light modifiers, which is why I’m so excited to share some techniques you can try with your beauty dish. Don’t have one? Not to worry. There are plenty of DIY beauty dish project plans online. I’ve actually made them out of aluminum turkey pans. When you decide to step up to a more professional beauty dish, however, they are usually not as expensive as most light modifiers and you can get them for speedlights or studio strobes. Beauty dishes are a niche modifier usually reserved for beauty...

By Ludovic Hirlimann For all of you camera enthusiasts, lens aficionados and gear fetishists, hearts race and palms sweat when broaching the subject of camera equipment upgrades. Camera companies keep a constant flow of equipment releases coming to quench the insatiable appetite of those who are convinced they need the latest and greatest. It’s important to keep in mind that just because the new iteration of your camera body or a new lens with an even longer list of acronyms outlining its features is released, it doesn’t instantly make...

Interesting effect. Many of the comments here seem to be upset about the price, well, make your own and sell it for $200. Lens baby sets their own pricing. As for the look of the lens, I have an old 50mm f1.4 OM lens that has some of the “glowy” feel. It can be used in many many ways. Right now I am shooting a series of portraits for an organization to go alongside quotes from the sitters. Not knowing what the quots are, in 20mins per sitter I have been working to get a few expressions and am using 2 lenses. the 12-40 m.ziuko and...

CP+ Nikon Interview When we attended CP+ earlier this year in Yokohama, Japan we sat down with senior executives from several major camera and lens manufacturers. We were lucky enough to sit down with a number of Nikon engineers to ask them about their overall strategy with respect to FX vs DX, and DSLR vs mirrorless. We were also able to ask pointed technical questions regarding innovative technologies in Nikon cameras, and the answers were very enlightening. So without further ado… From left to right: Tsuyoshi...

NYC-based photographer Arne Svenson, whom we interviewed last month, has won a lengthy legal battle against people who claimed that he had invaded their privacy by taking pictures of them in their homes through open windows. The fine art photographer attracted a considerable amount of attention and controversy a couple of years ago with his project The Neighbors, which contained photos of Svenson’s neighbors, captured without their knowing through their apartment windows using a telephoto lens. Svenson was sued by two of the...

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.
