7 Tips for Interacting with People to Create Better Portraits

A Post By: William Petruzzo Interaction is the basis of a portrait session, in every single way. In the most obvious ways, for example, you must interact with the client to set up the session, during the session, and when the images are done. The portrait session is also an interaction with self, both for you the photographer and for your subject.

From a mobile photography perspective, developer access to camera exposure and focus settings was arguably the most important new addition in Apple’s latest mobile operating system version, iOS 8.

Canon EOS 7D Mark II: Real-world samples (beta)

Posted by on 30th, Sep, 2014 in Blog | 0 comments

Without wanting to sound like a dickhead (that may be a first, it’s true 🙂 ) – it must be very difficult to please everyone with sample pictures, but these really, really don’t do anything for the camera, in terms of expectations, because, frankly, the IQ is quite horrendous on most of these (at least to my ancient geriatric eyes). They don’t show anything of the new focusing system, which is, apparently, virtually the raison d’etre of this action/wildlife focused camera. My 3 year old NEX-5N takes nicer pictures...

How to Soften the Light When Using Flash

A Post By: Shiv Verma Why do flash images look harsh? Recently, a number of dPS readers have asked the question on Facebook, “How do I use a flash and not have my images look so harsh?”. Let us first understand the difference in using natural or ambient light and using a flash. With natural light you have little control over intensity, direction, or color.

A Quiet Collapse: Christopher Nunn’s ‘Falling Into the Day’

Well aren’t you quite the armchair critic? The gallery is about a “look into David Blackburn’s daily life and surroundings as he struggles with the disease”. About his *daily life and surroundings*. The centrepiece of the series is *not* Alzheimer’s disease, it is the life and surroundings of the subject. For me, the photos portray feelings of vacancy, yearning, and forgotten memories. I think that it’s an great series of photographs. Source Article from...
