Happy Holidays 2014 from dPS!
A Post By: Darlene Hildebrandt Well it is that time of year again and it is Christmas Day in Melbourne, Australia where most of the dPS team is based. Image by Stefan Insam Best Wishes from everyone at dPS! This year I’m celebrating the holidays a little differently than usual. I’m miles away from my family, here in Granada, Nicaragua. My family here (house mates and husband) are having dinner and a small cocktail party for others like us who are away from their loves ones back home. If you take photos at your family events or other...

read morePhotographer Creates Grids Showing How People on City Streets Look the Same
Fashion street photographers usually look for styles that are one of a kind. Hans Eijkelboom doesn’t. For over twenty years, the Dutch ‘anti-sartorial’ photographer has roamed the streets of major cities around the world in search for the common — people showing similar tastes in clothing, accessories, or behavior. The result is a monumental project called “Photo Notes“, which comprises grids of photos grouped together by a common theme. The photos were captured everywhere from Amsterdam to New York and Paris to Shanghai....

read moreCameraSelfies: Portraits of Historical Cameras Taking Pictures of Themselves
What if cameras got tired of participating in human selfies and decided one day to start taking pictures of themselves? That’s the quirky idea behind a project called “CameraSelfies†by German photographer Juergen Novotny (who also goes by J. Flynn Newton). The series features photos of various cameras “looking at themselves†in front of contemporary wallpapers that capture the cameras’ personalities. “You are the mirror†when looking at these images, Novotny writes. Novotny is selling numbered and signed limited...

Wedding photographers beware: you could be a prime target for robbers due to the value of your gear. Just last year we reported that photojournalists in California were being targeted for their equipment, and now another crazy incident has occurred: a wedding shoot in Oakland was targeted this weekend by robbers who made off with $13K+ in camera gear… and all the wedding photos. The Oakland Tribune reports that photographer Helene Paz was shooting with her husband and three videographers at 4:30pm this Saturday outside Oakland High...

Here’s my 2014 Christmas card: Santa in Carbonite! At the end of every year my studio collects all of the cool card ideas that we thought of during the season. I then create a calendar event for the next November, listing out the ideas we thought of. Last year we came up with a Star Wars Christmas card idea with the boys guarding Santa Claus, frozen in carbonite. Call them Imperial Elves. Building A Set To create this image I decided to build a miniature set in my studio. It was about 18 inches tall, and I used mostly balsa wood to...

A Post By: Andrew S. Gibson The Lightroom Print module is a great tool for creating print layouts, but one thing it is not designed to do is make calendars (hopefully Adobe will introduce this feature in future versions of Lightroom). Luckily, in spite of that it is not too difficult to create a calendar once you know how, and you are prepared to put the work in to create the month and day parts of the calendar. Or – you can let someone else do all the hard work. That somebody is photographer Ed Weaver, who has created some Print module...
read more10 Last-Minute Gift Ideas For Photographers
A Post By: Hillary Grigonis Photographers have a deep passion for their gear – which can often making choosing a gift for them, rather, well, challenging. You may wait for inspiration to strike, but sometimes that means time is running out, and you’re still out of ideas. Still stuck on what to buy the photographer in your life? Here’s a few ideas that are easy to find on a short time-frame, even if you don’t have a dedicated camera store in your area. By A? Fingerless Gloves Snow makes for some great shots – unfortunately, it’s...

\n 1: Beat the Blur \n Keep your gear stable to avoid camera shake and blur during exposures. On Earth, the 400mm f/2.8 weighs quite a few pounds and definitely requires a tripod. In weightlessness, it becomes a beautiful piece of equipment to use. And it’s heavy enough that small things like your heartbeat won’t make the lens jiggle. \n”,”products”:[]},{“title”:”Shooting for the moon: Photo tips from a NASA...

In Brook, Indiana, a town of about 1,000 people, there’s a small business called CameraBands that specializes in recycling camera equipment into bracelets and rings. If you ever break your favorite gear far beyond repair (i.e. it’s destined for the junkyard), you can ship it to CameraBands instead of tossing it to have it transformed into very different forms. Starting with various cameras, lenses, and accessories, Levi Arnold and Eli McDonnell use various tools and machines to cut, sand, and finish certain components. Each...

Back in November 2013, an EF4 tornado tore through Illinois, killing several people and destroying hundreds of homes. Photojournalists at the Journal Star in Peoria, Illinois captured numerous photographs documenting the devastation from both the ground and the air. Last month, at the one year anniversary of the disaster, those same photojournalists went out and rephotographed those same scenes. The resulting before-and-after photos document the process the community has made in rebuilding their lives. Photojournalist and visual news...
read morePhotographer Shares How He Spent Two Years Living on Photos Instead of Money
Back in 2012, we wrote about a project called “Pixel Trade†by Australian photographer Shantanu Starick. The basic idea was simple but crazy: Starick wanted to travel through all seven continents on the globe without ever spending any currency. Instead, he would try to trade his services as a photographer to people willing to provide him with shelter, food, and transportation. Starick recently appeared at Behance’s 99U to give a 20-minute talk on spending the past two years living on photos instead of money. In his presentation,...

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.
