Jerry Ghionis On Capturing Striking Images with Any Light Source in Any Environment

Jerry Ghionis is a man who knows how to make the most of almost any environment. Whether he’s in a proper studio setup or is trying to make the most of one of his ‘MacGyvered’ setups, he always seems to find a way to nail the lighting and produce an extraordinary photograph. In the two-hour presentation above — a recording of one of his B&H classes — Ghionis covers almost every detail of his methodology for lighting images in tricky situations. The full presentation is a pretty long watch, but the amount of information...

Antix Automatically Creates Highlight Reels from Your GoPro Footage By Selecting the Exciting Parts

GoPros are wonderful little devices that can capture hour after hour of adventurous endeavors (or mundane experiences…). Those hours add up though, and not all of us have time to meticulously edit together a final result to share with the world. The Antix app thinks it can solve this problem by using artificial intelligence to automatically compile your GoPro footage and edit it into a complete highlight video… all without you having to do much of anything at all. Once you pair your GoPro with the Android-only app and press the...

Artist Nick Gentry Paints Realistic Portraits Onto Strips of Discarded 35mm Film

London-based artist Nick Gentry is known for using interesting materials to make his photographic work, and his newest series Synthetic Daydreams is no exception. For Synthetic Daydream, Gentry decided to paint realistic portraits on used, discarded film negatives. The medium is in keeping with Gentry’s continued commentary on the role technology plays in our lives — in the past he’s done similar projects using floppy disks and other ‘expired’ media — but the film, in our opinion, goes further than floppies can. Each frame...

Teens ‘Turning Their Backs on Digital’ and Flocking to Polaroid, says Impossible Project CEO

The Impossible Project CEO Creed O’Hanlon dropped quite the statement and statistic in an article on the resurgence of Polaroids by The Guardian. “Teens,” O’Hanlon said, “[are] turning their backs on digital for something more tangible.” A fact he says is backed up by explosive growth in their sales to the 18-25 year old demographic. How explosive? O’Hanlon tells The Guardian that, “[The Impossible Project] has seen a 75% increase in the 18-25 demographic” in the last 10 months, and doubled the volume of film...

Pulitzer Winning Photographer David Turnley’s Advice to a Class of Photojournalism Students

I had a wonderful opportunity today in that I got to enjoy the company of Pulitzer Prize-winner photojournalist David Turnley in the setting of my very own classroom. He was very personable, very intelligent, and even made us all stand up and touch each other’s faces to make the point of what photojournalists, street photographers, and portrait photographers do: we create a more intimate viewpoint into someones life that we typically (and this especially true for us mid-westerners) don’t experience on a day-to-day basis. The...

All Info, Press Pictures and Price of the Canon 100-400mm II Lens Leaked

Holy product leaks Batman! Info and photo leaks don’t get much more comprehensive than this. In what they’re actually titling the official introduction post, Canon Rumors has posted four higher res product shots of the Canon 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM II alongside full specs, pricing, and a detailed description of the lens from top to bottom. At this point, it would be a formality for Canon to even announce the darn thing. But if you want to save the surprise for the official announcement of this Unicorn lens, we don’t suggest...

Stop Motion Video Captures the Metamorphosis of a Man Into His Drag Queen Persona

The transformation of Drag Queens from their day-to-day selves to their fully costumed and made-up personas has been captured before. But where photographer Leland Bobbé captured before and after images that show the transformation from man to woman in a single frame, Erica Simone wanted to show the entire process — or metamorphosis, if you will. The resulting project is aptly titled Metamorphosis, and for part one she captured the stop-motion video above of Steven Rose — an Old Navy sales associate — transforming frame-by-frame...

The Puzlook Case Attaches a Sliding Tile Puzzle of 5 Lenses Onto Your iPhone

The Puzlook Case Attaches a Sliding Tile Puzzle of 5 Lenses Onto Your iPhone

This is… interesting. Attachable iPhone lenses and even lens-carousels are nothing new, but the puzlook case is a bit different. Unlike most of the options we’ve seen, the puzlook manages to pack 5 lenses onto your iPhone 5 or 5s using something like a sliding tile puzzle game as a mechanism. In all, the first puzlook case (which came out in January of this year) gives you a fisheye lens, a 160° wide angle, a 120° wide angle, a 1.5x telephoto, an 8x macro (40x when you add in the 5x digital zoom of the camera), a tripod mount,...

Product Photography with the Light Blaster, a $3,450 Cheaper Alternative to Broncolor’s Optical Spot

Product Photography with the Light Blaster, a $3,450 Cheaper Alternative to Broncolor’s Optical Spot

We introduced you to the Light Blaster when it first came out in July of last year. A neat light modifier, it allowed you to use a lens and flash to project all sorts of patterns, slides and other non-digital backgrounds (or foregrounds) into your images. The creative possibilities are pretty vast, but if you want to see what happens when a professional studio photographer gets his hands on it and starts experimenting, Alex Koloskov of Photigy is more than happy to oblige. In the video above, Koloskov reviews the Light Blaster,...

Intimate, Painterly Photographs of London Bus Passengers On Their Nighttime Commute

Photographer Nick Turpin‘s series Through a Glass Darkly takes a different approach to candid street photography than we typically see. Turpin captures London bus commuters on their way home after a long day, and his photographs are at once artistically compelling and potentially controversial. Is this voyeurism? Is it street photography? The viewer (or at least this viewer) is torn between the two. The moments captured are at once public and intensely personal. Exhaustion is often the least of the emotions writ on many of the...
