Last summer I was having dinner with an Art Director who was fielding emails from a client who wanted to pull stills from the commercial video shoot to drop into the background of the commercial stills shoot he was on. He bemoaned the fact that he would p
The video files were amazing; a no-brainer. This is what the EPIC does best, and it didn’t disappoint. Stunning resolution, accurate color, and smooth slow motion. Watching the clips at full resolution is actually a bit mesmerizing.
When it came to pulling stills, things weren’t quite as perfect
Larry Fink is a man who clearly enjoys the physicality and sensuality of the world around him. Passion- ate and outspoken with an impish nature, he enjoys good food and earthly delights. Having come of age in the beat generation, Fink has retained that sensibility. His written correspondence takes the shape of a beat poem or a jazz lick, but the images he creates with the camera are drawn from multi-layered influences
We took a trip to the Mission District in San Francisco, California to talk to Michael Shindler, co-founder of Photobooth. Photobooth serves as both a retail space…
Brian Ulrich’s book is great, and a real downer. If you resisted President Bush’s exhortations to shop America back to health after the events of 9-11-01, you may already be in line with the photographer. His Copia series, dating from 2001–2011, makes up the meat of this book. With mordant glee, the photographs insinuate that a decade of shopping has made us no better off; in fact, the rock we’ve been trying to shoulder up hill is flattening us.
My first thought was, “I hope he means John H. White.”
Several weeks later, he confirmed, that indeed, he was looking for me to hang out with John a bit for a cover story honoring John on the 30th anniversary of his Pulitzer Prize.
Revolution Revisited is a project by 1987 Pulitzer Prize winner photographer Kim Komenich, now a professor at San Jose State University. In 2011, Komenich began relocating the subjects from his spot news winning essay from the People’s Power Revolution which overthrew Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos and put Corazon Aquino in power.
The website features then and now image pairs, a longer essay about the revolution, interviews with the photographer, video stories and a database of over 500 outtakes from his coverage, which Komenich hopes will help to relocate more subjects from his coverage in the mid-1980s.
The site was produced by a class of multimedia graduate students in the University of Miami’s School of Communication.
In recent years, the photo collective has emerged as a clear and strategic response by photographers who’ve reasoned that – in uncertain times – there is strength in numbers.
We contacted members of various emergent collectives to find out what they’ve learned during their infant years. In a collective of four, is the workload quartered or quadrupled? What sort of assistance do members provide one another? Do collectives advance careers and opportunities? What are the downsides? What are the tangible benefits of collectivism?
Damaso Reyes has been photographing the many changes sweeping over the European Union since 2005 as part of his ambitious project, “The Europeans.” Across the Continent, he has been finding moments large and small that strive for nuance and details of everyday life.
On Tuesday May 15th 2012, the Aday.org (www.aday.org) initiative will invite the entire world to participate in the largest and most comprehensive photographic documentation of a single day in human history
“The paparazzi culture has changed drastically,” he says. “When I did it, you had the great freedom to shoot—no fans, no security, no publicists. And I don’t miss it too much because I have the gold in my files.”
This past Thursday marked the passing of Horst Faas. Probably as much as about anyone since Capa, he was someone whose mere mention of a name — either first OR last, was enough to conjure up that big personality and , yes, talent, that he was

The photographer John Myers rejected the highly technical demands of the darkroom and instead focuses on the “real world”: people and scenery in his hometown of Stourbridge, England.
Recently a photographer friend on Facebook introduced me to the remarkable work of John Myers, who had his first solo exhibition earlier this year at the Ikon Gallery in Birmingham, England. What made this feel like such a discovery is not only quality of the pictures themselves but also the fact that Myers stopped taking photographs altogether in 1988.

Photographs Not Taken is a book about photography in which there is not a single photograph. It’s a collection of essays by 62 photographers about the ones that got away: the images — burned to memory and conscience — that, for one reason or another, the photographer could not make.
It turns out that the areas of our planet where the Communist Party has managed to survive and adapt to the 21st century are far more vast and varied than most of us imagine.
