I admire all the people I take pictures of because they put themselves in a very vulnerable position. They trust me and I trust them, and it is important for me that there’s a mutual understanding of this. That we’re communicating in a way where it’s not just ‘me looking at them’, but there’s an exchange of emotions and life.
My goal for this artical is not to create yet one more tome on how digital exposure works. That’s already been done, repeatedly, and new efforts are always underway. Rather, my goal here is about two other things. First, to try and rectify a minor problem with my own technique of using an already-gamma-encoded gray scale for demonstration purposes in Lightroom—which we’ll get to later. Second, I hope to clarify a few things about the linear capture and gamma-encoding relationship, that seems to continually get muddled in the popular press.
I recently had the great pleasure to co-juror the Portrait Contest hosted by the Santa Fe Workshops. Over the next several days, I will be featuring the work by several of the winners. Almost a thousand photographers submitted closed to 4,000 images and
The BBC recently suffered a predictable consequence of relying on citizen journalism: It published a photograph circulated on Twitter by a Syrian anti-government activist that purportedly shows dead civilians after a government massacre last month in Houl
If you could share photos from the tallest peak in the world – 29,000 feet to be exact – would you? National Geographic says “why not?” as mountaineer Conrad Anker led Nat Geo writer Mark Jenkins and photographer Cory Richards on a climb to the summit of
The scene has been playing over and over in my head since then, and the questions are weighing on me: As a photojournalist, what role did I have in this tragedy, and what is it now, in the aftermath? Was it right for me to remain in the background taking pictures, as I did, and not seek medical attention for the dying pastor, whose beliefs forbade it? Or should I have intervened and called paramedics earlier, which would have undermined Mack’s wishes? Finally, what was I supposed to do with the images I shot?
When you’ve given everything, what do you have left? After achieving his dream summit, an elite climber finds himself empty. Broken and untethered, he searches…
Earlier this year, the Cultural Council of The Netherlands advised the Dutch Government to cut financial support to Noorderlicht after 2012. I am writing this letter to you, the members of the Council, to strongly urge you to reverse your previous decision and to continue funding Noorderlicht.

Human Rights Watch’s role is to defend and protect human rights around the world, giving a voice to the oppressed while holding oppressors accountable for their crimes. When Libya fell, last year, Peter Bouckaert, the organisation’s emergencies director, was on the ground with his team, ensuring that valuable Libyan archives were secured and protected from looting and destruction.
Every time I learnt how to do something I made a post-it note with the shortcut and stuck it on the wall above my computer. I ended up with about 50 post-its on my wall. They continue to be a handy visual reference as I use the software; the shortcuts vastly speed up your workflow and learning them from day one is definitely the way to go. Here is one of the first videos I edited using X. It is predominantly made up of time-lapses of Beijing and with most of them I re-timed them using X’s powerful re-timing tool. This is a massive advance from FCP7’s ‘change speed’ tool and one of the many reasons why I really like FCP X.
