    The panoramic shot, a unique way of emphasizing a way of looking that is much more ample than our ordinary view, is rarely used in reportage, since the snapshot, in this format, would seem to be a random challenge

    Spiritually the C300 is an EOS, you only have to look at next to the 5DmkII to see that it shares the same basic design but in a bigger shell. It looks and feels like a old medium format SLR camera. I personally love the design and the camera was very comfortable to hold in my hands.

    Christopher Capozziello: When I first began making pictures of Nick, he didn’t like it. In fact, very early on, after I had just graduated from college and was living at home, I made a picture of him waking up. He immediately punched me in the face and said he didn’t want me making pictures of him. At that point I wasn’t making pictures with any real intention of telling his story, but what they became was a way for me to deal with our differences. In some strange way, as I’ve seen his story emerge, the pictures have brought us closer together. We spend more time together, talk on the phone more. That didn’t used to happen. The pictures have forced me to deal with the issues of guilt I’ve had about being the healthy [twin].

    As you can see about three minutes into this video, one of New York’s finest either did not get the memo or failed to internalize its contents. While Robert Stolarik, on assignment for The New York Times, works to take photographs of other officers attempting to clear protesters from the World Financial Center’s Winter Garden on Monday, an officer makes it his business to get in the way.

    I just want some clarity on where the iPhone Hipstamatic debate stands, 10 months after the Winter controversy.
    So, I was wondering…
    – Are iPhone Hipstamatic images fully accepted now?
    – Do others find them as compelling as I do?
    – Is content still king?
    – Is it cheating or easier to make a great image with an iPhone?
    – Can they be entered in contests and compete side by side with photos made with more traditional tools?

  • Neighborly Portraits in Mexico

    Captivated by the light in Mexico, Russell Monk set up an open-air studio in his backyard. The result is a series of whimsical black-and-white portraits.

    He had been living like the typical artsy expat in the center of San Miguel de Allende when he decided to uproot himself and buy a small house on the outskirts of town. There, he began doing portraits of his Mexican neighbors, starting with Isabel, the matriarch of a large family who lived on the other side of his back wall.

    “People ask how you light those,” he said. “I don’t — they’re all natural light. You can’t beat that.”

    I also learned to work light – in two ways. First, while I’ve always been a chaser of color and nice light, my goal for the short year was to exploit every opportunity I had to work the aforementioned. Last year, I found myself converting everything in post, not so much this year. And second, I learned to ditch the extra gear and work with the bare minimum.

    SEO for photographers is no joke – if you aren’t employing the most basic SEO strategies (at least), then you’re selling yourself and your photo business short. The goal of SEO is unsolicited website traffic – people looking for whatever your service or product is, without yet knowing who you are. In section #5 Build Your SEO, Allen talks about three main areas that all photographers can focus on immediately to improve their website’s SEO.
