Photographers on Photographers: Chloe Dichter in conversation with Meggan Gould – LENSCRATCH
Photographers on Photographers is our annual August effort where we ask photographers (including the Top 25 Winners of the 2023 Student Prize Awards) to interview an artist or mentor that has impacted or inspired their practice. When I started my MFA studies at the University of New Mexico in 2022 I had the pleasure of

I don’t romanticize the darkroom. I have a fair bit of negativity towards it. At the same time that I’m making a miniature version of one and photographing them like crazy, there’s so much to love about it but it’s loaded.

Pro Sports Photographer Details How to Capture Iconic Paris Olympics Moments
Emotion, action, and story all add up to create memorable sports photos.
via PetaPixel: https://petapixel.com/2024/07/26/how-a-pro-photographer-will-capture-iconic-images-at-the-paris-olympics/
Beyond staying healthy and energized, the biggest challenge is making something that stands out from the crowd. There are many talented photographers in Paris, and while many are working with others to get the best coverage, every photographer also wants to be the one to make the best photo — that one shot that represents the Paris Olympics.

Thoughts on THAT Photo
via Conscientious Photography Magazine: https://cphmag.com/thoughts-on-that-photo/
A few days ago, I wrote an article for a German newspaper about THAT Trump picture. Given the typical length of such opinion pieces, there were a few strands that I was only able to allude to. They would benefit from a longer discussion. That’s what I want to be doing here.

Alex Webb on How Color Photography Changes His Way of Seeing
Since the 1970s, Alex Webb has distilled gesture, light, and color into layered compositions, creating a “chronicle of the street.”
via Aperture: https://aperture.org/editorial/how-alex-webb-sees-in-color/
Three years after my first trip to Haiti, I realized there was another emotional note that had to be reckoned with: the intense, vibrant color of these worlds. Searing light and intense color seemed somehow embedded in the cultures that I had begun working in, so utterly different than the gray-brown reticence of my New England background. Since then, I have worked predominantly in color

That might be the expectation. But the actual results are more nuanced. It turns out that Haitians can hold their own with Gilden’s camera. In photo after photo they stand their ground, glare back, and claim dignified self-possession. They’re a force for his lens to reckon with, even more so than New Yorkers.
