My photography has not changed very much over the years. I’ve been resisting technology and sticking to the same thing. The biggest change for me would be adding a 28mm lens into the mix because I’ve been mostly a straight black and white 50 mm lens photographer since the beginning. That’s the classic street setup. I was just out today shooting with a 50mm with no filters, no bells and whistles, no frills — just a straight Leica M6, 50mm lens, and black-and-white film, Tri-X. I hope they keep making it!

When my friend Peter Kalksma of Al-Jazeera showed me this film on Vimeo the other day I was blown away. It looked like one of the best short documentaries I’d ever seen, but I wanted to find out more about how it was done. In fact, the makers don’t bill it as a documentary at all. Below Tyler Stableford talks to me about how and why he shot his stunning “visual poem”.

When other people run away from danger, they run toward it. They go into battle armed with nothing but courage. Like everyone else, they experience fear — but unlike everyone else, they keep going.

But you can’t argue that Jamie’s invaluable experience in the editorial and photojournalism communities. It’s with this thought in mind that we asked him to share his opinions on:

How management changes at Newsweek have altered how Jamie hires new photographers.
The risks photographers must take in pitching story ideas to editorial publications.

This is Real Art have carved out a reputation for quality creativity across advertising, design and branding, but late last week they moved into new territory with the publication of their first book. Adam Hinton’s Shibuya is a collection of the photographs he took of Tokyo commuters, shot at the world’s busiest subway station over four days capturing intensely personal moments among the mass daily migration.
Chip Kidd doesn’t judge books by their cover, he creates covers that embody the book — and he does it with a wicked sense of humor. In one of the funniest talks from TED2012, he shows the art and deep thought of his cover designs
