7 Tips for Doing More Meaningful Street Photography

A Post By: James Maher Donut, American Apparel, NYC. Yes, someone thought this was a good idea. While it takes time to master the technical skills needed to excel at street photography, I think the most difficult aspect of the genre is trying to figure out what you are trying to capture. I get this question a lot, “What should I be looking for?” This is why street photography is a genre where experience is second to none. You can get comfortable capturing strangers candidly, you can learn to technically capture your images perfectly,...

How Connecting with Vendors Can Help Skyrocket Your Wedding Photography Business

Here are a few tips to help you start or boost your wedding photography business. No portfolio yet?

Sony develops sensor capable of rendering color images at 0.005 lux

anyone doing ultra-low light image capture know so as long light is available full spectrum, as is the case at night, know all the colors will show up beautifully like a bright blue sky sunny day, on better ultra-low light sensitive sensors (or longer exposures if less sensitive) e.g.moonlight landscape Earthbound scenery look as astoundingly beautiful as any daytime landscape shot, albeit with stars/auroras, included in the skies on a clear night. (the moon is basically a full sun spectrum reflector, at lower intensity, and daytime/sunny WB...

“Will do” if you can get by with lackluster color rendition, limited dynamic range, bad S/R ratio and so on. I do, in a pinch, but when I can, I tend to avoid it… I like best Nos. 2, 16 & especially No. 9, that “smartphone glow” is kinda magical, and like the tension in the composition as well.

The ‘Study of Pose’: An Encyclopedia of 1,000 Different Poses by Supermodel Coco Rocha

The Study of Pose is an upcoming book by photographer Steven Sebring and supermodel Coco Rocha, who’s well known for her ability to “freestyle” various poses in rapid succession (some people call her the “Queen of Pose”). The book is packed with 1,000 different black-and-white poses by Rocha displayed on over 2,000 pages and serves as something of an encyclopedia of poses. The project actually goes beyond the poses printed on the pages of the hardcover book. Each pose was photographed in an experimental 360-degree rig. This...

Nicholas Nixon and the Brown Sisters: Four Siblings Photographed Every Year for Forty Years

The Fraenkel Gallery in San Francisco recently shared this interview with photographer Nicholas Nixon about his well known project The Brown Sisters. Since 1975, Nixon has been shooting a portrait of four sisters once a year, every year. This year saw the creation of the fortieth portrait in the series. Nixon started the project during a visit to his wife Bebe’s parents’ house. Bebe’s three sisters were also at the gathering, and Nixon came up with the idea of shooting a portrait of them out of sheer boredom. It became a family...

Canon Patent Suggests Feature That Would Choose Between JPEG and RAW For You

In the future, “Auto” may be an option for choosing between JPEG and RAW on Canon DSLRs. A recently published patent reveals that the company has tinkered with the idea of a feature that could automatically choose which photos to save in RAW and which ones to save as JPEG only. The patent, published in August 2014 and discovered by Egami, discusses a feature that would take effect when the photographer is shooting in burst mode and panning while tracking a subject. It would apparently allow the camera to evaluate the rapidly...

Photographer Turns Dancers Into Living Sculptures in Urban Landscapes

UK-based photographer Bertil Nilsson‘s project “Intersections” is a blend of two photographic subjects: urban landscapes and dance. Nilsson first sought out city spaces that have interesting architectural features. “There are lines, shapes, and textures to be uncovered with a camera,” he says. Once these spaces were located, Nilsson thought about how he could “repurpose them” by introducing the movement of a human figure. He collaborates with circus artists and dancers, so he had plenty of models to work with. His goal...

10 Common Mistakes Made by New Photographers

A Post By: James Maher Whenever I teach, I get a lot of requests to review images. Over time, I’ve started to notice that a majority of the mistakes I see come from the same small group of errors that are repeated constantly, particularly by less experienced photographers. Please keep in mind that all of these common mistakes can also be advantages when done well and with purpose. This article is not about those times, but is an observation about how often I see them done the wrong way. As a photographer, you need to build the right...

How to Reduce Noise with Photo Ninja

A Post By: Suzi Pratt Reducing noise in a digital photo is a hot topic, particularly for photographers who frequently shoot at high ISOs. Even if you’re not a typical low light shooter, the temptation may arise with some of the newer digital cameras that offer incredibly high ISO speeds which still produce pretty pleasing images, even with noise. There are many factors that can produce noise in your images, and there are many ways to reduce or sometimes even avoid noise all together. This article in particular will highlight one...

Ghost Town: Shooting in Kolmanskop

Posted by on 20th, Oct, 2014 in Blog | 0 comments

Hi Luben,First of all, as you must guess, I never claimed these images were the “best” of anything. That said, I’m pretty happy with them, more so since the location is limited in essence and I only spent 3 days there.As to your question, I personally like the inside much more than the outside, which is pretty dull and monotonous. I spent sunrise, midday and sunset in Kolmanskop on multiple occasions, and the main attraction, in my opinion, is the inside of the houses. The colors, the light let in through the doors and...
