Portrait Salon ‘rejects’ exhibition opens in London
I think the 7th one is amazingly well thought: good atmosphere, good story, and a topic we never talk about/feel ashamed to talk about though it exists and is quite common. I like this kind of photos ! Source Article from http://www.dpreview.com/articles/9157444105/portrait-salon-rejects-exhibition-opens-in-london

Drift, maker of the Ghost-S and HD Ghost, has introduced its smallest action camera to date: the Stealth 2. Its diminutive size is the Stealth 2’s most notable feature – it’s half the size of the Ghost-S, measuring 3.15 x 1.65 x 1.06 inches, and it weighs 40% less. The combination of a 1.3-inch Mono Graphic Backlit LCD and status LED panel show the camera’s current operations and mode, and is joined by support for the Drive 2-Way Remote Control. Videos can be captured in either 720p at up to...

The black hole in the highly-anticipated Christopher Nolan blockbuster Interstellar has already made headlines. Put together with some serious mathematical help from astrophysicist Kip Thorne, it was so accurate he’s actually going to get a few academic papers out of it. It is, however, 100% CGI and as such outside of our purview as photographers… until now. Just a few days away from the movie’s debut, Shanks FX and PBS decided to recreate the effect using all in-camera elements they’ve shown you how to create before. First,...

Cook, a UNC alum and resident of Durham, North Carolina found the stolen image, which was taken from his wife’s wedding photography website, on the UNC Psychology Facebook Page. Screenshot via Crusade for Art After contacting the university in regards to the unauthorized use of the image, he...

Grays of Westminster — an award-winning camera shop in the UK — has officially been given a Coat of Arms, marking the first time any camera shop in the world has been given the prestigious honor. The Coat of Arms was given to the Nikon-only camera shop’s founder Gray Levett by Mr. Robert Noel, the Lancaster Herald of Her Majesty’s College of Arms, at a dinner ceremony held in Pall Mall, London last week. The final design was a result of much collaboration between Levett and the College of Arms, in an effort to properly signify...
read moreThis 360° Action Cam is Kodak’s Interesting Response to the GoPro
Kodak, or rather JK Imaging pretending to be Kodak, recently launched a new entry into the action camera market. It’s called the Kodak PixPro SP360, and its intriguing form factor and lens allow it to capture 16-megapixel photographs and 1080p video with a 360º field of view. The SP360 action cam pairs with your iOS and Android devices via WiFi and a proprietary app that allows you to not only use your phone as a live view screen, but also choose how the 360º image you’re capturing will be displayed. The view options are ring,...
read moreCandid Photographs of Circus Performers Captured Over the Course of a Decade
For nearly a decade of her life, photographer Norma I. Quintana devoted every summer to a group of people few ever get to capture through a candid lens: circus performers. Every year from 1999 to 2007, every chance she got, she would go spend a couple of days with the one-ring Circus Chimera capturing black-and-white photographs with her medium format camera. The images she returned with show a side of the circus that most people never get to see, and make up the photo series and now photo book Circus: A Traveling Life. In an interview...

A Post By: Lori Peterson Right now there are many new photographers who are struggling as they try to get their businesses off the ground and photographers who have been in business for a while who are trying to maintain their existing business. Even industry pros who have been around for a long time have decided to cut corners where they can just to make their businesses more profitable in this economy. Finding resources,especially free ones, can make all the difference in the world to photographers. I assembled a small list of free...
read moreThe Fall’s Most Exciting New Cameras
A Post By: Hillary Grigonis Fall is an exciting time for photography and it’s not just because of the scenery that comes with the season. The newest enthusiast and professional cameras tend to arrive on shelves in the fall and, even if you’re not in the market for a new shooter, the latest gear announcements are worth a peak just to see what new technology is being introduced. While a lot of new announcements are mediocre updates, the fall of 2014 has brought in several new cameras that are more than marginal. Canon has released a new...

read moreA Film Vs. Digital Study
In an effort to prove to myself, my family, and my friends that I am not nuts to lug 6+ pounds of medium format camera gear up the mountainside I conducted my own tests over the last few weeks. Sure one could set up a Resolution Target but that would not be a “real world†test, no sweat and sore muscles. The contenders were: Sprint Galaxy S III cellphone camera. Nikon D300 with Nikon AF 35–70 F2.8 and Nikkor AF 70–200 F2.8 Nikon F4 with NIkon AF 35–70 F2.8 and Nikkor AF 70–200 F2.8 Mamiya RB67 Pro S with Mamiya Sekor 90mm...
read moreVideo: A CGI Artist’s Comprehensive Guide to Understanding Composition
The basic rules of composition apply to almost every visual art there is, be it photography, painting or graphic design. Whether it’s the rule of thirds or the rule of triangles, the principles overlap, leaving the educational resources for each respective art form useful across the board, not tied down to one specific field. This is why we decided to share the above video, which is one of the most comprehensive looks at understanding composition that we’ve ever come across. Created by CGI artist Andrew Price, its usefulness...

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.
