I’ve been following Jake Stangel’s career for several years and noticed recently that he signed with Julian Richards and this month shot a feature in Esquire Magazine. He’s been very active online helping fellow emerging photographers, previously with his forum Too Much Chocolate and now a series of posts on his blog “the four most important things you can do to become a professional photographer“. I thought we should check in with Jake and see what’s going on.
I’ve been photographing the American cultural landscape for the past twenty years. Utilizing different series that I’ve done involving the everyday urban and suburban places we encounter, I’ll strive to make visual and verbal connections between these overlapping territories of American life while sticking to our theme of how sprawl has affected inner city environments.
by Wonderful Machine CEO Bill Cramer. For about six years now, I’ve been shooting assignments for AARP. I’ve mostly worked for their member newsletter, AARP Bulletin. And more recently, I’ve shot a few things for their website. They also have a nice magaz
I’ve found that a small percentage of magazines I’ve worked with over the years have no contract at all. In those cases, I send them mine. Of the rest, about half have a contract that governs assignments into the indefinite future, while others, like AARP, send out a contract for each assignment. When I do get contracts with no time limit, I tend to add an expiration date. Here’s the AARP.org contract (click to enlarge):
An apparent administrative slip-up has unleashed an uprising at celebrity photo agency Retna, with photographers complaining that the agency is failing to report sales, pay royalties, or respond to calls and e-mails from frustrated contributors.
Born of the fervor of the 1970s, En Foco has gone from a community-based arts group to a national advocate for a dizzyingly diverse group of photographers. An exhibition at Sarah Lawrence College showcases that work.
among its supporters, En Foco – where I worked after graduating from college in 1979 – continues to exist, though it long ago moved itself and its archives to offices at the Bronx Council on the Arts. It retains its mission to foster cultural diversity, encouraging up-and-coming photographers and challenging those who curate shows and publish books.
5D Mark III, 7D Mark II or neither? The camera that popped up today has brought about a lot of questions of what it might be. I’ve seen speculation from a few
The camera that popped up today has brought about a lot of questions of what it might be. I’ve seen speculation from a few places that perhaps the camera is a replacement for both the 7D and 5D Mark II. The camera definitely looks to be full frame, however there is a lot of the “sporty” features of the 7D.
Her most acclaimed body of work is The Julie Project. This long-term project is the story of a woman called Julie Baird. Eighteen years Darcy followed and photographed the story of AIDS, drug abuse, abusive relationships, poverty and death
The hill is the subject of photographs and videos Paul Octavious has been taking with his Canon 5D Mark II for four years, as well as iPhone pictures he shares on Instagram
Getty Images stands accused of intellectual property right infringement after it was successfully sued in a French court by the heiresses of iconic furniture designers
Forty years have passed since Leonard Freed first began to document these officers. And although his original book, Police Work, published in 1980 and no longer in print, a larger collection of prints from the series is on display at the Museum of the City of New York through mid-March.
The yellow border yields a power, which extends far beyond physical geography. It reins in the mythological, transporting its readers back to their wide-eyed childhoods, to their parent’s bookshelves and basements made up of solid yellow blocks, while simultaneously influencing some of our generation’s greatest visionaries and iconographers. Who hasn’t made a collage like David Lachapelle?
Cole Thompson’s work has been on my radar for a number of years. I have always appreciated his well-crafted images and all that he brings to the table in terms of being a professional. His newsletters are as elegant as his work, and everything is presente
for the last several years I have practiced what I call “Photographic Celibacy.” My photo magazines are donated, my books gather dust on the shelf and I do not seek out new work on the internet. Not studying other photographers work has been very helpful and I give this technique much of the credit in helping me unearth my vision and to become more creative.
DSLR Magazine, who has a pretty good track record when it comes to “predicting” upcoming products, posted on Twitter that Leica is working on two new cameras for Photokina and one of them will have a “reasonable” price tag (for Leica’s standards). My inte
Photographers and photo enthusiasts often get all wrapped up in product specifications and marketing pitches from manufacturers. They also get wrapped up in the minutiae of technology, even though very few truly understand it. Unfortunately, the web certainly does not help, because there are lots of self proclaimed “experts” that are, in reality, far from being true experts and do not understand either the craft or the science beyond a very cursory lay person superficial level. This situation has two immediate consequences: First, there is a lot of “missing the forest for the trees” taking place; second, it gives rise to lots of misunderstandings and myths that need to be busted, and I hope I can bust some of them in the second part of the essay.
Arthur Fellig prowled the streets of New York with a stogie, a Speed Graphic and an unmatched feel for the real city. A new show, “Weegee: Murder is My Business,” shows how.
A sprawling show devoted to an intense decade in the city’s history opens Friday at the International Center of Photography. “Weegee: Murder Is My Business” delivers on its promise, and then some, showcasing the work of the legendary photographer Arthur Fellig from 1935 to 1946.
Tim Mantoani takes portraits of famous photographers holding their most iconic or favorite photos in his new book Behind Photographs: Archiving Photographic Legends. Mantoani has shot over 150 of these portraits in the last five years.
The Tank Man of Tienanmen Square. Muhammad Ali standing over Sonny Liston in victory. The portrait of the Afghan Girl on the cover of National Geographic. Many of us can automatically recall these photos in our heads, but far fewer can name the photographers who took them. Even fewer know what those photographers look like.
Tim Mantoani hopes to change that by taking portraits of famous photographers holding their most iconic or favorite photos in his new book Behind Photographs: Archiving Photographic Legends. Mantoani has shot over 150 of these portraits in the last five years, most of which are contained in the book.
