How Technology Changed Photography

How Technology Changed Photography

Since film, how much has really changed? Well it’s great to show people instantly how they look and to know whether you captured a shot. With film you have to be so technically proficient to nail a shot within a third or half an f-stop. No longer necessary with digital photography. Add the promises of […]

Video Report — Bangkok Street Birth

Video Report — Bangkok Street Birth

The other day, in Bangkok, a young woman gave birth to a healthy baby girl on a busy Bangkok street. Just happened to be there, with my old iPhone, and asked for permission to document the rather unique event. Here’s the footage. Don’t expect a horror movie. Giving birth couldn’t look more natural. It’s absolutely […]

The Importance of a Camera’s Mojo

The Importance of a Camera’s Mojo

Am moralizing again. This may sound like heresy to some of you, but I’m rather concerned about a camera’s mojo than absolute top-end specs. Here is why. Money can buy amazing quality these days. Be it for a thousand or several thousand dollars, the choice of awesome gear is yours. You can spend even 10k++ […]

Film Shooter Norman Jean Roy: Once a Dictatorship, Photography Became Democratized, and Then Digital Killed Fashion Photography

Film Shooter Norman Jean Roy: Once a Dictatorship, Photography Became Democratized, and Then Digital Killed Fashion Photography

Talk about the arrogance of power — or of a genius? You may know Vogue and Vanity Fair fashion photographer Norman Jean Roy (click his name for the most minimalist website you’ve ever seen!). Well lensman Roy, whose also socially conscious work is highly engaging, is none too happy about technology’s influence and effects on […]

The Politics of Photography

The Politics of Photography

In this second part of our three-part series on the psychology, philosophy and politics of photography, I’m exploring the relationship between photography and politics. One could go as far and argue there is no story — political or not — without visualization a.k.a. images. Images, suggestive in nature, determine a major part of the “spin” […]

Photographers Refocus on New Ventures

Photographers Refocus on New Ventures

Entrepreneur.com has an interesting entry on innovative photographers. Over the past decade, many photographers have witnessed a blurring of the line between amateur and professional. A digital SLR camera and some editing software are often all people need to break into the photography business. Some professional photographers saw the changes coming early on and successfully […]

Why More Photographers Leica It and a Little Bit of Leica History

Why More Photographers Leica It and a Little Bit of Leica History

Leica again. Somehow I missed this story by Deutsche Welle published last October. The German newswire spoke to Leica Camera CEO Alfred Schopf about the company’s comeback. You learn about some of its unbelievable management mistakes in the 70s, its first digital camera and the move back to Wetzler. An interesting short read on the […]

Steve McCurry and the Making of the Pirelli Calendar 2013

Steve McCurry and the Making of the Pirelli Calendar 2013

The man needs no introduction. Says the Magnum photographer about himself, “Most of my photography career has been spent in the documentary genre, working for magazines photographing areas of conflict. In my photography most of the time I am just simply walking around with the camera, shooting life as it unfolds.” What does this Steve […]

Hasselblad’s “Rhino Conservation Awards”: How Socially and Environmentally Concerned Should a Photographer Be?

Hasselblad’s “Rhino Conservation Awards”: How Socially and Environmentally Concerned Should a Photographer Be?

Photography is, in many ways, like a sport. Many photographers feel themselves judged by their gear. Photographers are not generally known as the most socially engaged people who are also concerned about environmental issues. They’re rather busy with themselves, and if one witnesses an accident or crisis, one is rather not there to help, but […]

Underdog Samsung: Maybe This Sort of Retro Feel NX300 Tips the Scale…

Underdog Samsung: Maybe This Sort of Retro Feel NX300 Tips the Scale…

Am observing the widely overlooked Samsung NX lineup since quite some time. Somehow NX is just the best kept secret of mirrorless photography. Samsung cameras are underdogs. You don’t hear much about serious photographers shooting Samsung, but this latest NX offspring deserves a good look. Not only does Samsung know how to build great compact […]

The Difference Between Simply Making/Taking Pictures and Seeing/Vision

The Difference Between Simply Making/Taking Pictures and Seeing/Vision

This is, in part, a continuation of the pain expressed in the recent article On Gear Lust — Isn’t It a Perfect Digital Imaging World Already? Point is, quite some dedicated readers confessed they’re suffering GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) by waisting countless hours in front of the computer screen reading through photography sites instead of […]

On Gear Lust — Isn’t It a Perfect Digital Imaging World Already?

On Gear Lust — Isn’t It a Perfect Digital Imaging World Already?

Sure, good photography is mostly about the photographer and less about what camera and what lens. Truth seems to be, however, that good photography is more and more about the gear one doesn’t have, isn’t it? Thanks to today’s post-processing options with CS, Aperture, Lightroom and so forth you can even make a decade-old digital […]

Nikon 85mm 1.4G — What’s So Special About It?

Nikon 85mm 1.4G — What’s So Special About It?

By STEVEN MCCONNELL I’ve tried to not use this lens. I’ve told myself that whatever image quality advantages a prime offers are pretty much matched by modern zooms. To support that theory, I’ve taken the 70-200mm F2.8 with me on shoots instead. I’ve told myself that it’s a better choice because it’s more like “two […]
