The problem with microstock ||| Photocritic blog
Haje Jan Kamps experiments with microstock, and discovers that while he sold three times more photos, he earned 40 times less money from the micro stock sales than from a full-on agency – with the exact same photos on sale… The lesson? If you’re a decent photographer, stay the hell away from micro-stock: The bigger…

B: Photographic Lineups
When I approach subject matter and consider how to photograph it, one my main considerations is whether forms in the shot should line up or not. By “line up” I mean foreground and background combine to create shapes distinct from the photo’s subject matter Check it out here.

road trip: no place to live, everyplace to go….
i seem to get the most energy going when i pair things down to what may seem like “nothing”…..which is, of course, in a Zen way, “everything”….i felt just like this back in 1989 when i “caught on fire” for what was to become the work in Divided Soul ….this period of work led to…

Sze Tsung Leong’s project Horizons is meditation on the vast and varied landscapes found in disparate parts of the world. His panoramic images, although often geographically dissimilar, are linked through a continuous horizon line that when viewed as a whole creates visual and thematic relationships between differing images. Check it out here.

Frank Breuer: The Exposure Project: Photographic Typologies
German photographer Frank Breuer, a disciple of the Becher’s and propagator of the Düsseldorf aesthetic, captures the sterility of industrial and commercial architecture.

LUXE has landed at uncommons- erik lunsford
Every quarter we publish a fashion magazine similar to the T Magazine from the New York Times. The shoot consists of several days of shooting, weeks of meetings, editing and production, and the nail-biting time of waiting for the special section to arrive from the printer. The spring edition of LUXE, as it is aptly…

Photography Books Now! – Shoot The Blog
I read about the Photography Book Now salon and symposium last night, and thought it was too good to be true. I mean, a contest celebrating self-published photo books? With the promise of MONEY? What What!? But look, they say it is true: “Join the modern photography book movement. Photographers can now produce books with…

B: Transcript
It’s nothing, right? Just an old dusty fragment from the bottom of a closet. Hard to read much from it one way or another, and certainly not worth much time researching. Right? Yet this photo is potentially very important. It is likely the earliest surviving image attributable to Carleton Watkins, dating from around 1856. Check…

Damn Right Your Dad Drank It! – Shoot The Blog
I spoke with Robert Whitman to see what his thinking was.”My approach was to shoot it with old cameras. We shot mostly with an old Brownie Hawkeye, and found a lab in Colorado that still processes C22 film”. Check it out here.

A Photo Editor – Contact Info for Every Media Company in the World
Can be found at MediaPhoneBook.com (here)… someday… maybe. For now it’s got contacts for a handful of magazines, but since it’s a wiki anybody can add and make changes so eventually it really could contain all the contact info, book drop information, submission guidelines and anything else that might be useful to photographers for every…

5B4: Poles by Frank Breuer
There have been many books that follow in the tradition of the Düsseldorf School of typologies that I just find boring. In fact, I even have a hard time looking through an entire book of the Bechers themselves when it is entirely made up of one of their subjects. Like many other genres of photography,…

B: Jesse Marlow: What Was He Thinking?
This is one of my favourite street photos from the years that I shot B+W. The shop window had always caught my eye. It’s the Nike shop and is on the corner of Melbourne’s two busiest streets. An extra wide pavement here similar to the ones on Oxford Street, London gives great depth to street…
