Over the holiday season, many of the brick and mortar retailers (Best Buy among them) promised to match online prices in a bid to stop their clientele from trying in store and ordering from the likes of Amazon online — a process that has been nicknamed “showrooming.”
A couple of months […]
For beginners in the world of photography, getting a good grasp on the types of lenses available and when you might want to use them is an important step. So, given that there’s a lot of glass out there, we thought we’d share this basic lens intro from Pentax.

Chinese New Years festivities have been going on over the past week in cities around the world. Over in Singapore, photographer Choo Yut Shing captured this neat photograph of a giant light snake slithering down a street.
While it would be awesome if it was some kind of large scale light […]
Late last year, photographer Cheyne Gallarde turned to Kickstarter to raise funds for an ambitious series of self-portraits titled Universe of One. Inspired by the work of Cindy Sherman, the project features Gallarde posing as a wide range of people, both male and female, of different ethnicities, and from different […]

I’m addicted to Project Runway. There, I said it. Since the beginning, I’ve been beguiled by the tangential relation to the fashion world. So close, and yet so far.
To make matters worse, a few years ago, my wife began subscribing to Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar. Which means I […]
The Time & Life building, an edifice standing tall in the middle of Midtown, was long a revered totem of the publishing business. To people in the industry who came of age back when things were good, Time Inc. was legend, having grown up not just on the force of […]

Calling Michael Benson a curator of interplanetary spaceflight imagery only touches upon what he actually does.
“Curatorship is one of the roles I play in relation to these images,” began Benson via email. “I would divide my roles into curatorship, meaning a sifting through tens of thousands of raw frames in […]
Popel Coumou has a multilayered view of reality—literally.
The Dutch photographer/multimedia artist uses collage as a way of expressing, and often altering, her idea of reality.
“I had an assignment to look for a two-dimensional image, to make it three-dimensional and then make it two-dimensional again,” said Coumou about how she began […]
A reader asked me a question about all rights contracts and I thought I’d see if anyone wanted to offer advice in the comments. My initial reaction to anything like this is “what’s in it for you?” If you’re not getting paid to give up your rights and you can’t […]
Pre-Lenten celebrations around the globe, including Carnival and Mardi Gras, wrapped up yesterday before the marking of Ash Wednesday today. Historians say the tradition dates back to Roman times, when the newly converted Christians retained vestiges of their pagan festival, “Lupercalia,” as a period of celebration before the penance during […]
Much of the US Northeast from New York to Maine spent the last few days digging out after blizzard conditions and record-setting snowfalls left hundreds of thousands temporarily without power in winter temperatures. The storm surge during high tides at the height of the storm caused beach erosion and flooded […]
Sometimes you have to look down to see what’s right in front of you.
Alejandro Cartagena did just that while working on a commission from a research institute about how people use the streets in Monterrey, Mexico.
“Construction workers were buying houses an hour or more away from where they worked and […]
For part two of his four-part BTS series for Profoto, photographer Gregory Heisler walks us through his Time cover of former PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat.
I really enjoyed this video. Not so much for the lighting tidbits, as it is a pretty straightforward photo in that regard. But rather because […]
Saying photographer Anne Hardy has an eye for detail doesn’t adequately describe the intricacy of her work. Each one of her photographs gives the viewer a sense of having just stumbled onto an event shortly after humanity has been zapped into oblivion.
Hardy, whose next exhibition opens in April at Maureen […]
The celebration of the Lunar New Year is a phenomenon as global as various diaspora allows. Perhaps most well-known in the West as a Chinese celebration, the lunisolar calendar is observed in many more places than just that nation. That said, the Chinese observation is unique in that the holiday […]
An estate owned by descendants of the 19th century British aristocrat for whom Earl Grey tea was named is turning history on its head by selling English tea to China. The Tregothnan estate in the southwestern English county of Cornwall started selling tea from its tiny plantation in 2005 and […]
Picking up where we left off last week in our impromptu living room studio, let’s swap the lighting around to make a different style of photo which is designed to fulfill a different purpose.
The first photo was more in-house—think PR. It’s the kind of photo you would get if the […]
Still riffing on Monday’s post about studio-vs.-location, here’s another reason I am not a big fan of studios. You can replicate them pretty much anywhere, and for almost nothing.
So let’s switch things up and start with the BTS pic this time, to show you the “studio” used to photograph consultant […]
