Is your Adobe Lightroom running slowly on your computer? Adobe regularly receives questions through social media regarding sluggish photo editing, and recently decided to start compiling the non-traditional solutions that work onto a single helpful page.

Held only once every twelve years, the cleansing ritual of the Maha Kumbh Mela sees up to a hundred million Hindu devotees symbolically bathe away their sins in the holy Ganges River. It is thought to be the largest gathering of humanity on earth. For 55 days devotees […]

Since June 19th of last year, political activist and WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been living inside the Ecuadorian embassy in London. Although Ecuador has granted him political asylum, if he steps foot outside the embassy, he could be arrested, extradited to the United States, and tried for his role […]
Upon first glance, Julie Dermansky’s photographs could very well be mistaken as stills from the film Beasts of the Southern Wild.

I’m in a bad mood right now. Grumpy, surly, sour. Take your pick. Why? Because I’m cold, deep in my bones. Nobody likes a whiner, but it’s been well-below-zero here in Taos for more than a month now. Each day, I wake up hoping this arctic wave will […]
Do you shoot with soft boxes, beauty dishes and/or umbrellas?
If you shoot exclusively with small lights, you can just tape a couple of square inches of gel to your flash head, as with my permanently mounted warming gel seen above. No matter what the mod, the light is gelled […]
Increasingly, weather and all of its related catastrophes are never far from the front page of the news. Photographer Michael Jang’s photographs of weather reporter auditions from 1983 charmingly remind us of the bygone era when weather reporting was a more innocent undertaking.
Jang had been hired to take a photograph […]
Late on Monday a Manhattan judge ruled in the Daniel Morel case against AFP and the Washington Post that both news organizations infringed his copyright by republishing images that he posted to Twitter during the Haiti earthquake 2 years ago (download the 58 page ruling from NPPA here).

Walking down Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles, photographer Nick Stern came across graffiti that caught his attention. Street artist Common Cents had painted a piece that said: “You are a miracle.” But someone had come after him and altered his wording to “You are not Banksy.”
Others would have thought it […]
With January halfway gone and exercise resolutions fading rapidly, a look at photographer Brian Finke’s series on bodybuilding contests, “Most Muscular” might resuscitate your desire to pump iron.
Or, it might not.
The series continues to amuse, delight, and possibly inspire sit-ups.
Finke began work on the project when he was assigned […]
For some, fashion is a corporate industry. For others, it’s an artistic expression. And for still others, it’s an embrace of cultural traditions. Fashion is a shallow pursuit in the eyes of many, and a deep embodiment of identity for others. Definitions of what is […]
To understand the impact this photo had on me when it first came out, you kinda have to get into the head of a Baltimore Sun photographer during the run-up to the 2004 Summer Olympics.
For one thing, this is the only photo which has ever made me shout the F-word […]
I’ve been a fan of the photography and the stories featured in National Geographic Magazine since I was a child. I explored the world by simply turning the pages. It featured some of the most amazing and groundbreaking photography then and it’s never stopped finding new ways to surprise. […]
A little ways back, LumoPro approached me about doing photos of their product line. That’s a lot of gear, and the whole project was more than I would have time to take on.

March quickly approaches, and GPP has announced their instructors and courses.
