SIAM Undergraduate Research Online. African Wildlife Prints I African Photo Safaris. Brooke Shaden : Creating new worlds through images. This week I received an email from a most beautiful soul, asking if I would write about the topic of how to find inspiration when life is getting you down.
I’m extremely empathetic and I take on others pain and joy very easily, and after reading her email, I cried for her. And if I can offer any words of advice that might be even 1% useful, well, that is how to contribute to our community. The first thing that I think needs to be clarified about artistry or inspiration or even passion is that it does not have to be who we are. Svjetlana Tepavcevic Visual Artist. Photolucida: Jon Wyatt: Huangshan Ltd. If you happened to attend the Magenta Foundation’s Flash Forward exhibition in Boston last year, you may have had the pleasure of seeing the work of Jon Wyatt.
If you happened to attend this year, you would also have had the pleasure of viewing work from his Avalanche UK series. Jon made his way to Photolucida from London, bringing several bodies of work to the review. His gorgeous prints from his Huangshan series brought to mind work from legendary black and white landscape photographers. Born in Devon, UK, but now living in London, Jon states about his growing up: “Though I’ve spent none of my adult life there, I still consider Devon and the westcountry my spiritual ‘home’. This fact made me consider how cultures turn to the landscape for collective identification – creating the notion of a ‘homeland’. Huangshan, (literally ‘Yellow Mountain’) in Anhui Province is one of China’s most iconic national monuments. Joel Sartore - National Geographic Photographer and Speaker.

Digital and film photography can be radically different from one another, and not just from an operational standpoint.
Each medium instills a different feeling when shooting, and both require a different approach to subject matter. It is true that recent D-SLRs can improve your chances of capturing the right moment dramatically. Moreover, the post-production process with digital allows for more freedom than with film, and you can shoot more frames with less consideration about how much film is left or when might be the right moment to use your last frame.

Sam Gellman Photography. よわよわカメラウーマン日記. 85mm Street. Amy's FAQs - Matt Moyer & Amy Toensing. As a kid, I was obsessed with this book “The Family of Woman”.
It’s a compilation of black and white photographs that tells the story of womanhood. It’s the feminine story of humanity; it has no borders in terms of race, politics or geography. I could never get enough of it and eventually the cover fell off and pages slipped out. The reason I was so drawn to it was it made me feel connected to the world. C.S. My schooling focused on anthropology and sociology, but I also just took whatever subjects interested me including poetry and art. I left SALT thinking I would never be a professional photographer or get paid. My biggest goal when I started was to find ways to keep making my pictures so I could grow as a photographer. After working professionally for four years, I went to graduate school for visual communication. AMY TOENSING PHOTOGRAPHY. Photography - Home. Interview: Magical Insect Photographer. When we first came across Nadav Bagim's macro insect photography, we were taken aback by just how magical he could make their miniature world look.
His photos seemed like they came out of a storybook or a Disney/Pixar movie. Filled with beautiful colors and a generous helping of bokeh, they seemed almost out of this world. After we found out that he only uses Photoshop for slight tweaks, we were even more impressed. So much so that we got in touch with the photographer to ask him a few questions about his creative process and to see if he might share with us some of his tips. Read our interview with Nadav, below, while enjoying some never-before-seen photos as well as some behind-the-scenes shots.

A Lesson in Ballen Photography. Teen Nature Photography - Kento Mizuno. Ansel Adams. Ansel Easton Adams (February 20, 1902 – April 22, 1984) was an American photographer and environmentalist.
His black-and-white landscape photographs of the American West, especially Yosemite National Park, have been widely reproduced on calendars, posters, and in books.[1] With Fred Archer, Adams developed the Zone System as a way to determine proper exposure and adjust the contrast of the final print. The resulting clarity and depth characterized his photographs. Adams primarily used large-format cameras because their high resolution helped ensure sharpness in his images.
Adams founded the Group f/64 along with fellow photographers Willard Van Dyke and Edward Weston. Early life[edit] Childhood[edit] Adams was born in the Western Addition of San Francisco, California, to distinctly upper-class parents Charles Hitchcock Adams and Olive Bray Adams. In 1903, his family moved 2 miles (3 km) west to a new home near the Seacliff neighborhood, just south of the Presidio Army Base. Youth[edit] ERNST HAAS ESTATE. Taryn Simon. Kento Mizuno.
