You might call Jesse Reiser a Young Gun, at least the Art Director’s Club said so when they selected him as one of the top 50 Emerging Creatives. The 2012 Magenta Foundation also felt he should be a Flash Forward Winner, and Communications Arts gave him a nod in the the 2012 Photo Annual. Plus it doesn’t hurt that he was one of Center’s Review Santa Fe 100 last year and works with clients such as Publicis World Wide, M&C Saatchi, Cramer Krasselt, the NFL, Ritz Carlton, Warner Brothers, The NBA, Proctor & Gamble, The John Paul Getty Museum, and ESPN Magazine.
There is a reason for all of this fan fare. Jesse is a seer and seeker, looking inward and outward at our world and culture, as evidenced by this range of imagery and ability to tell a story
This year Dan Chung, a staff photographer with The Guardian in England, decided to scale back. All he’s using to document the games are three iPhones, a set of binoculars and some third-party iPhone lenses.
She knew my work because she had worked for the Allgemeine before I did and they were sending her weekly copies. Her first comment was, “I’m not going to do any of your crazy stuff for you.” I said, “Hey, that’s up to you. We’re supposed to do a story together. If you don’t want to do any stuff at all for me, that’s okay too.”
So I heard it from a fly on the wall (actually a Leica rep told a reader this info) that the Leica M10, which is speculated by many to have a CMOS sensor (Stefan Daniel of Leica stated CMOS is the future), live view (Ditto), 24Mp sensor, EVF and or course HD video (strongly hinted at and suggested by Dr. Kaufman in May) and much improved high ISO performance, is 100% going to be announced at Photokina next month
Worst Website Makeover Award
This one is not even close: Nikon wins by a landslide.
I just don’t see how anyone can compete in this category. This could be a Lifetime Achievement Award kind of thing. Never have so few web designers done so much, in so short a time, to ruin a good website.
A Conversation with Evan Kafka, a Photographer. by James Worrell Recently I had the idea of interviewing some of my colleagues, photographer to photographer, to gain some insights and see how they do what they do. I started with someone I know well and wh
Google, which displays the book snippets next to advertising on its search engine, claims it has the right under the “fair-use” doctrine to publish parts of each book. The guild told U.S. District Judge District Judge Denny Chin of New York that Google was off-base.
In this competitive market, it’s very important to know how the editorial selection process works. So we put together 6 questions that you, the nature photographer, should ask yourself before pitching to editorial clients:
“Destino” is Michelle Frankfurter’s personal project about the journey of Central American migrants across Mexico by rail. A documentary photographer based in Washington DC, she shot this project on Ilford HP5 120 film and a Bronica 6×6 camera – 12 exposures per roll.
Mr. Stolarik was taking photographs of the arrest of a teenage girl about 10:30 p.m., when a police officer instructed him to stop doing so. Mr. Stolarik said he identified himself as a journalist for The Times and continued taking pictures. A second officer appeared, grabbed his camera and “slammed” it into his face, he said.
Mr. Stolarik said he asked for the officers’ badge numbers, and the officers then took his cameras and dragged him to the ground; he said that he was kicked in the back and that he received scrapes and bruises to his arms, legs and face.
Besides capturing the last days of the British Empire, Homai Vyarawalla was one of the key visual chroniclers of the post-independence era, tracing the euphoria and disillusionments of a new nation as India’s first female photojournalist. For years her vast archive chronicling three decades of Indian history received less attention than the Indian work of her international contemporaries, Henri Cartier-Bresson and Margaret Bourke-White. But a new retrospective titled “Candid, The Lens and Life of Homai Vyarawalla“ at Manhattan’s Rubin Museum of Art is finally paying tribute to her groundbreaking work.
In Guy Tillim’s “Avenue Patrice Lumumba” the photographer examines modern African society against a backdrop of colonial and post-colonial architecture. Traveling through numerous African countries, including Mozambique, Angola and The Democratic Republic of Congo, Tilliam captures a society in transition, stuck between modern aspirations and the political suppression and conflicting ideologies of the past. Organized by the Museum of Contemporary Photography at Columbia College Chicago with funding provided by the Lanna Foundation, the exhibition will run through August at the Blue Sky Gallery, Oregon’s Center for the Photographic Arts.
In the fourth installment of the “Smoke-Filled Rooms” series, Stephen Crowley, a staff photographer at The New York Times, continues to look beyond the restrictions, spin and control of the contemporary American political process. With an unorthodox presentation of photographs and text, Mr. Crowley examines the forces that influence the presidential campaign.
Sometimes good ideas fail. That seems to be the case for Once, the innovative photojournalism magazine that launched its pilot issue last summer with big hopes of capitalizing on the iPad as a new publishing tool.
