French artist Theirry Guetta is guilty of infringing on photographer Glen E. Friedman’s copyright, a federal judge has ruled. Guetta was accused of using a well-know Friedman image of hip-hop pioneers RUN DMC as the basis for several artworks, including “
Photo by Paul Trevor Here’s a nice video by the English photographer Paul Trevor about some old work of his that’s just been coming into its own within the past couple of years. It’s also quite pertinent to the discussion(s)…
Similarly, people always talk about the old “film vs. digital” question like it’s all about aesthetic properties and workflow (and now materials availability, as we were discussing yesterday). But I’m lazy, and somewhat disorganized. Re that, listen to what Paul Trevor says in the video starting about 30 seconds in.
I must carry very, very good shoes. I use one American sandal called Keens. They are very good. With them, I can cross the river. It’s more important for a photographer to have very good shoes than to have a very good camera. Because you walk a lot. A lot, a lot, a lot!
Alejandro Chaskielberg’s project, The High Tide, depicts life in the remote community of the Paraná River Delta region in Argentina, where the river tides determine the activities and movements of its
When I’m working I like to find my way into an image and this means being unencumbered by the equipment, but more significantly it is about how I relate to a subject visually. When photographing with an SLR we tend to compose the image in the viewfinder, which is akin to looking through a tunnel and often we can become quite unaware of the space outside the frame. When I’m working with the Leica, I see images in my mind first, and the optical viewfinder for the Leica M allows me to effortlessly place the camera in the desired position while maintaining a strong visual awareness of what lies outside the frame.
Seeking a pristine land untouched by humanity, Sebastião Salgado photographed the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in northeastern Alaska. Porcupine caribou, named for the Porcupine River, on the flatlands between Kaktovik village (on the Arctic Ocean coast) and the Brooks Range mountains.
The Instagram photo-sharing app for iPhones, around only seven months, has already given rise to remarkably creative picture streams. It’s no surprise, given his reputation as an innovator, that Richard Koci Hernandez’s pictures are among the more notable.
Harrington uses the analogy of “the corner store.” When a new store opens up, they don’t sell their inventory at a loss and hope to make up for it over time just because they’re new to the neighborhood. Instead, they know what their cost of doing business is, and they they start out with a rate that’s profitable for them.
As a helpful guide to the Games organizers, we have mapped out the hazards the torchbearers might encounter while running through some of the more treacherous parts of the official route.
Taking effect in October 2011, the VII Network will be dissolved and the name discontinued. All the photographers
currently in the VII Network have been invited to submit applications for membership.
The Homecoming Project is a grass- roots information campaign using photography and multimedia to help create awareness on issues surrounding military returning home from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
Ernesto Bazan’s images of the Cuban countryside are remnants of a tropical dream — suffused with tenderness, color and a hint of mystery. You can almost touch the damp earth, where a freshly slaughtered pig lays near a puddle of blood, or smell the hand-rolled puros whose smoke hangs in the air like a milky veil.
Each year’s festival centers around three core photographers, called INSight artists, who present an exhibition and participate in on-stage interviews to speak about their process, inspiration and work. This year’s honorees are Antonin Kratochvil, Massimo Vitali, and Nan Goldin, —all artists presenting work during the festival’s MASTERS Talks series. Each of their shows will focus on the theme of “HOME.”
Doug Rickard, Helena-West Helena, Arkansas, 2008 The drum machine arrived in popular music in the late 1970’s. By 1983, only a few years later, after 50,000 years of live human drumming, mainstream…
Looking at projects based on Google Maps Street View (GSV), particularly large photographs in physical galleries, makes me wonder: Is Street View a camera? Or a repository of source images? Or both?
The C3 is the smallest NEX camera body yet, and NEX cameras are the smallest interchangeable lens cameras available – even smaller than Micro Four Thirds. This is the case even though the NEX sensor is full APS-C sized, the same as in mainstream DSLRs.
It’s been just over a year since the original iPad shipped, and only now are we really seeing apps that are suited for the bigger multitouch screen. One of those is Snapseed, a new image-editing app from Nik. You may know Nik for its expensive and excelle
The level of polish is high. Not only are the built-in filters good, but there are lots of extras in the UI. For instance, tapping on a control point lets you cut copy and paste as well as delete it, and the dots also contain the initial letter of the last parameter you adjusted. You can also tap and hold a “compare” button at any time to peek at the previous version.
The Shooting Gallery, a tumblr featuring videos about photographers. The videos are divided into two categories: photographers talking and photographers shooting.
