The public had a strong reaction to the exhibition at the LOOK3 Festival of Ashley Gilbertson’s Bedrooms of the Fallen photographs, which show the bedrooms of soldiers who died as a result of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The photographs are being exhibit
In my previous post, I outlined some specific thoughts related to the Photography Book Now competition as it enters it’s 4th year. There’s $25k up for grabs for the best in self-published photography books.
Beyond that, I hinted at the “extremely rich moment” we are witnessing in the history of photography and books. Unparalleled resources and tools are available for artistic expression and the possibilities for distribution, primarily of self-published books, are growing. I want to mention these a bit more in-depth.
Based on my experience I can’t think of any good reason why photographers, US or otherwise, should not register their work with the US Copyright Office. Every case is different, and there’s no such thing as 100% protection. But follow these ten rules and you will almost certainly be able to collect substantial damages from any US website or publisher who infringes your copyright.
There were other Chinese photographers that covered the same topic of coal miners, and I realized that it was very important to find my own voice apart from other photographers. I was compelled to create more work using different styles of expression.
Oh hello! In addition to the less-than-inspiring GF3 announced today, Panasonic has redeemed itself with the new Leica DG Summilux 25mm ƒ1.4 ASPH lens. This fixed lens, which works as a 50mm equivalent “standard” on the Micro Four Thirds bodies, is likely to be one sweet chunk of glass.
Yesterday, on the final night of the LOOK3 Festival of the Photograph in Charlottesville, Va., the curated work of more than 20 photographers was shown to an audience of 2,000 during a special 2-hour projection on the festival’s 40-foot main screen. TIME contract photographer Yuri Kozyrev’s photographs from Yemen, Egypt, Bahrain and Libya were presented in a short film, On Revolution Road, after a moment of silence for the photographers who had given their lives since the festival last convened in 2009.
After vandals damaged the home and truck of Olympian photojournalist Tony Overman last week, and threw a corrosive substance on the windows of the newspaper’s offices and spray painted graffiti, a rally was held Saturday on the Olympian’s steps to show support for the photographer
Olympus has historically been a company associated with small yet high quality cameras. It’s taken them a while though to zero in on the medium-sized sensor pocket camera segment, but it would appear that their time has been well spent, because the XZ-1 presses all the right buttons – so to speak.
I have invested in not a few of the best Leica M lenses, on the assumption that Leica would put some serious effort into a future M camera that would make shooting M glass more productive and more reflective of the lens potential— and bring “M” into the digital age beyond just a dated sensor and a lousy LCD and 80 year frame line technology. I did not invest in the M9, I invested in the lenses.
spent a week covering the breaking news that Bosnian Serb General Ratko Mladic was finally captured after nearly 16 years on the run, in a village an hour north of Belgrade in the early morning of May 26. On assignment for The New York Times and the International Herald Tribune I had the interesting experience of running in the streets with stone-throwing hooligans (there really weren’t that many of them, it was less of a mess than a typical soccer match
As I look across the recent photojournalism awards, and scan for works in newspaper websites, I see a dearth of serious and committed interest in the hollowing out of America
At a Master’s Talk this afternoon at the LOOK3 festival in Charlottesville, VA, Ashley Gilbertson talked passionately about his project, “Bedrooms of the Fallen,” which depicts the rooms of soldiers from coalition countries such as the United States, Fran
Christopher Anderson opened the morning program of Masters Talks today at LOOK3 Festival of the Photograph in Charlottesville, VA, in front of a packed crowd at the Paramount Theater downtown. Anderson is exhibiting his latest body of work, “Son,” at the
Look3, a festival that invites a mix of emerging and professional photographers to take a subjective look at the current photographic landscape, kicked off last night with a slideshow of Antonin Kratochvil’s work, titled “In America.” This touching show o
Photojournalism was yet-again re-defined earlier this year when Michael Wolf was awarded an honorable mention in the World Press Photo competition for photographs he took of his computer screen.
