Feature Shoot

Photo by Richard Ross Pete Brook , based in Portland, OR, is a freelance writer who focuses on the politics and social justice in photography. He writes about imagery produced within and about prisons on his own website Prison Photography . In 2011, Prison Photography was awarded a LIFE.com Photoblog Award and the British Journal of Photography recommended it among the Top Ten Best Photoblogs. Brook is a former volunteer art teacher and working board member with University Beyond Bars, Seattle, WA. During the autumn of 2011, he made a 12-week, crowdfunded road-trip for which he interviewed photographers who’ve documented the rise of America’s prison industrial complex. http://www.featureshoot.com/
With so much of the world to explore and photograph, it can sometimes feel like a waste of time to revisit a location which you have already tried to represent photographically. However, when all the possible variables come into play, one location can offer huge scenic differences only months, weeks or even days apart. http://photo.tutsplus.com/

Dallas, Texas photographer Noel Kerns photographs abandoned buildings at night by the light of the moon, using handheld lighting – often with colored gels – to create unusual lighting effects. PHOTOGRAPHER: It’s often somewhat difficult to put into words what I find intriguing about these kinds locations; sometimes it’s the history, sometimes just the architecture…and sometimes, it’s simply the opportunity the location presents for a compelling or unusual shot. A common idea among Urbex enthusiasts is what’s referred to as “beauty in decay”…the idea that the effects of entropy on a place can render it aesthetically appealing.

By David Marx on January 02, 2012 | Comments 27 Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is a wonderful image management tool but it is not a backup system. If you have neglected to prepare for total system failure, then you should expect to lose everything when disaster inevitably strikes. Here is an overview of my three-tiered backup plan. http://thelightroomlab.com/

A thought-provoking, narrative-rich series of photographs from inside prison walls explores those punishments which may, or may not, offend society’s “evolving sense of decency”. This image is by Lloyd Degrane . A comprehensive exhibition covering the life of this legendary American photographer reveals a delightful array of interests and subject matter, well beyond her most familiar images. In this series of work, Rana Javadi starts with old photographs from a famous Iranian photography studio, and then layers them with vintage fabrics, dying flowers and tarnished mirrors — creating a nostalgic tribute to a bygone era of easy living in Iran .

http://photofocus.com/ This year’s eagle trip had the usual themes for me. I got to spend time in some of the most beautiful outdoor scenery in the world. I got to spend time helping a friend. I got to spend time with friends. I got to make new friends. I got the chance to tell the story of the eagles with my camera.

The Seattle-based photographer explains how he planned his transition with the help of a creative consultant, and made the break from assisting before he felt entirely ready. Alex Prager‘s latest exhibition, “Compulsion,” which includes a new series of photographs in Prager's cinematic style, as well as a new short film, will open tomorrow at Yancey Richardson Gallery in New York. The Phase One iXA aerial camera comes in 80MP and 60MP models. http://www.pdnonline.com/index.shtml
There's no doubt that HDR is a popular form of photography (I did a bit of a how-to, if you're not familiar with it), but mostly, I can't help but thinking that it's a bit of a specialist field. Until, that is, I started using it on my iPhone. Most of the time, I don't need it; but the other day, I wanted to take a photo of a piece of graffiti. If I were photographing this properly, I'd have [...] http://www.pixiq.com/contributors/haje

There are few people who have never picked up a quick glance through a “home” or “decorator” magazine, and these are publications full of what many call architectural photography. This is a highly specialized field, but it also encompasses a few different variations. by Bill Jones It is often said “A strong man and a waterfall channel their own path”.

Virtual Lighting Studio is an awesome new free studio lighting simulator that doesn’t require any installation — you use it directly in your browser. It offers a large number of options for customizing your setup (e.g. number of lights, light type, gel, positioning) and the result is updated in real-time on the virtual model’s head. Virtual Lighting Studio (via Strobist ) Earlier this month, reports started emerging that Canon’s new 5D Mark III DSLR has a light leak issue. Photographers found that turning on the LCD backlight in a dark room directly affects the camera’s metering system (as seen in the video above).

DIY Photography

This is not a DIY kinda post, it is more related to my career as a photographer. If you here for the nuts and bolts, move along, nothing to see. If you are starting out as a photographer, I think this will be super relevant and valuable for you. Having walked the path of "What's that black button for?" to "Chin down, eyes to me" over the last three years, one of the things that I had to struggle with is how to handle friends and family who ask for discounts (some will ask for a 100% discount :). The next video by the awesome Jasmine Star pretty much sums up what I think is the best approach to handling this awkward situation.
