  • As if the 3.2 beer isn’t enough of a deterrent to photographers living and working in Utah now the state is trying to collect from photographers, who they feel don’t do a very good job following their tax law. The timing of this is unbelievably absurd.

    Renowned conservation and fine-art photographer Robert Glenn Ketchum has pioneered a publishing model that treats his numerous books as instruments of change rather than instruments of profit. In this and upcoming posts he explains in detail how he has worked with NGOs and publishers to produce books that create tangible change — instead of sitting unseen on bookstore shelves.

    It is a momentous, overlooked shift in the world: Foreign correspondents no longer cover one place for the exclusive benefit of readers somewhere else. In the Internet age, we cover each place for the benefit of all places, and the reported-on are among the most avid consumers of what we report.

  • It was about 11pm, dinner was over, and most people were in the panoramic lounge chatting, working on their laptops, and having a nightcap. A few of us stood on deck watching the passing scene. What lay before us begged for a panorama, so I went to my cabin, retrieved the Phase One 645 camera with 75-150mm lens, and P65+ back.

    Welcome to In Studio On Location.

    This blog came about when three things happened. First, seeing many photographer’s personal blogs, inspired by food bloggers and a conversation with our first photographer on a studio visit. Thus, in studio on location was born.

    I hope this blog can inspire people starting out as well as people who have been in the business for years. Please leave comments or questions about anything related to photography. I’ll do my best to answer, or get the photographer to respond.

    Thank you,

    Nicole Radja

    In a sense, Looking In: Robert Frank’s The Americans is another expression of the status of the work. If you want to find out about its photographer and history (and a lot of other things) this is where you want to look.
