Back when I used to spend time in the darkroom, somebody once asked me if they could cancel out their mis-focussed photos by just dialing the enlarger’s lens in the opposite direction. I laughed, but I couldn’t help wishing it was true. 25 years later, it
In 2000 a group of Australian photographers formed a collective and created a website showcasing their work. It was an outlet for newspaper photographers to get their personal work out to the world. The group was not formed as a commercial venture. While the membership of Oculi has changed over time, the mission of the group has stayed the same: make amazing pictures showing the drama of everyday life.

Stefan has been following a Turkish nomadic family for seven years. He is invited to stay as their friend and lives close together with them from time to time. He finds them through their mobile phone in various places throughout the country, living in cramped conditions without heat, electricity, clean water or proper sewer systems, in abandoned house skeletons and under motorway bridges. Difficulties with money, health care, and welfare rights take turns playing havoc on their lives, and every day is a struggle to keep the whole of the large family alive.

Marisa Portolese: The representation of women is at the root of my practice. In most of my projects with the exception of a few, women figure prominently and the female psyche is widely explored. I firmly believe that the world belongs to men and that women are still severely underrepresented. It is with the project entitled “Belle de Jour” that I began to work specifically with women as my primary subjects.
“By inserting a queer subject, it’s rewriting the narrative,” said Molly Landreth, the photographer. “It’s acknowledging that these lives exist parallel to the straight lives that are always seen in these iconic images.”

Inspired by Walker Evans, Robert Frank, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Elliott Erwitt, Peter Turnley and others, I combed through more than 90,000 digital images I have taken all over the U.S. in the last 5 years. This is part of an ongoing project to capture a portrait of America in the 21st Century
I just posted this on PhotoRumors and seems that the upcoming EVIL camera from Sigma will have a M mount (unless there is an adapter between the lens and the camera – it’s hard to tell from those pictures): Update: false alarm, this is a DIY project – you

Just wanted to pass this along. My latest Faces of series and my third year photographing the NYC Marathon which was yesterday and is one of the biggest in the world. I photographed 99 runners from elite to the everyday runner just minutes after crossing the finish line.
Earlier this fall, way back in October, we offered one photographer the chance to attend NYC Fotoworks portfolio review in NY. This two-day event brought together some of the top editors and photo buyers in the industry with photographers from around the world. It was a great opportunity to get face time with a lot of editors in one place and we were happy to award the pass to Meridith Kohut, a photojournalist and PhotoShelter member based in Caracas Venezuela.
A few weeks after the event we received a lovely note from Meridith thanking us for the opportunity. We decided to follow up with her to see just what she got out of the event and what advice she could share with other photographers on maximizing your time at a portfolio review.

The core of it is that I went out for myself. I went out there to satisfy me. Because I felt if I can satisfy myself, the magazine is going to benefit. I made a lot of mistakes. But I wasn’t afraid to fail. You can’t be afraid to fail and grow and get better. You’ve got to be willing to risk.
I say that to remind you that you, scratch that… that we, still have the best job around. We get paid to take pictures for a living. We work for newspapers that people read, that are incredibly relevant to their lives, that reflect the good and point out the bad. We get the chance to cover our communities. And we know them better than anyone.
“It is not a portfolio competition. The grants are awarded to a photojournalist who can further cultural understanding and world peace by conceiving and writing a concise, focused, and meaningful story proposal, and who can demonstrate the ability to visually execute that story with compelling images. There is no mathematical formula for determining grantees, but the proposal and photography must both be considered of the highest quality.”
Dylan Coulter sent over an email the other day to tell me about the work he’s been doing with Nike and the “Oregon Project” (Sounds like it involves Jason Bourne, no?) and we got to chatting. I thought I’d share the conversation.
