The Australian Broadcasting Corporation has released undercover video depicting living conditions in North Korea. The video shows grimy children begging, laborers building a private rail system intended to serve as a wedding gift for Kim Jong-un (son and heir of dictator Kim Jong-il), and an official shaking down a private market stall for rice for hungry soldiers.

Photographer Joseph Szabo, best known for his pictures of teenagers, recently made a remarkable re-discovery—a very different body of work he calls Hometown—pictures taken four decades ago that he had all but forgotten.
The rise of stock imagery has led to falling rates for professional photography, owing to market saturation, unwise marketing strategies, the internet and amateurs, says Betsy Reid, formerly founding executive director of the Stock Artists Alliance.

Haiti, a land of great spirit and tremendous hardship occupies a special place in my heart. My first visit to Haiti goes back to 1985. Then, for ten years, I made a total of 19 trips, and my work culminated in the publication of the book “Haiti”
Los Angeles-based photographer Chad Ress’s landscape series America Recovered re-examines the legacy of the FSA within the context of the recent economic recession
A photographer I work with here at the paper recently asked me to send him “a couple portfolio tips” to share with his students at the local technical college. I began writing what was coming to mind and the next thing I knew, I was on #8 and I still wasn’t done. Because here’s the thing: preparing a portfolio and getting a job isn’t as easy as just making a good edit and attaching a résumé and cover letter.
Here are 12 things I think it takes to someday put together a solid portfolio and be the “whole package” an employer is looking for.
I think creating a significant body of work that is real and personal is the key to finding an audience. These days an audience is not really so hard to find with all of the networking and social media. Finding a gallery however seems a bit more complicated
It also compelled the New York-based portrait photographer Mathieu Asselin to travel to Joplin to make photographs of the people who had lived through this disaster, amid the detritus left behind. “The level of destruction was such that during my five days there, every morning seemed like the first day again,” he told me. “What I saw was that within minutes the familiarity of the people of Joplin with their landscape had turned into complete unfamiliarity. I wanted to show that shift in my subjects.”
TJ Johannesburg Photographs 1948-2010/Double Negative is a joint project by photographer David Goldblatt and writer Ivan Vladislavic. The result is an exceptional dialogue between Goldblatt’s 270 images taken over more than 60 years of photographing Johannesburg, a metropolis scarred by the consequences of apartheid, and Vladislavic’s narrative fiction.
Sometimes, I decide what to write about on TOP. Sometimes, my readers decide—I get so many “tips” about one item that I almost have to link to it—in self-defense, just to stop the avalanche. (Note that I do appreciate such…
Copyright troll Righthaven told a federal judge Thursday that it has revised its contract with the Las Vegas Review-Journal to give it full copyright ownership over some of the newspapers’ content. It’s a bid to squelch a legal controversy over whether it
I know Andy Baio personally. We’re not BFFs or anything like that, but we’ve shared tasty beverages. I consider him one of the good guys. I’m also a fan of Jay Maisel’s work. He’s a great photographer. So, it’s with more than a bit of sadness that I watch the story about Andy’s costly incident with Jay’s lawyers spread around the Internet today.
However, with the new Leica M9-P, you pay a grand more (£5395) than the already overpriced M9 for the same camera apart from the fact that the screen is better protected, and there is no red dot. WTF is wrong with a bit of tape and a screen protector? Save a grand and put it towards some decent glass..
A Florida state court judge has ordered the city of Ft. Lauderdale to quit barring photography in public places around a Hollywood film set. The emergency order, issued on Tuesday, was in response to a lawsuit filed last week by the Society of Professiona
They sued the city because Ft. Lauderdale police, who were reportedly moonlighting as security guards for the production of the film “Rock of Ages,” starring Tom Cruise and Alec Baldwin, were preventing photographers and citizens from taking pictures of the set from public sidewalks and streets nearby
I was disappointed this morning to read about a legal settlement of $32,500 that Andy Baio chose to pay to photographer Jay Maisel. Do you know Jay Maisel? Apparently, he’s the photographer that owns and lives in the 35,000 square foot $30-$50 million mansion in New York City (according to wikipedia). Apparently if you mail him a check for $5,000 he’ll actually let you come inside the mansion for one of his photography workshops.
