Help-Portrait Community Biography After studying painting and graphic design at Cooper Union and Yale, Jay Maisel began his career in photography in 1954. While his portfolio includes the likes of Marilyn Monroe and Miles Davis, he is perhaps best known for capturing the light, color, and gesture found in every day life. This unique vision kept him busy for over 40 years shooting annual reports, magazine covers, jazz albums, advertising and more for an array of clients worldwide. Some of his commercial accomplishments include five Sports Illustrated swimsuit covers, the first two covers of New York Magazine, the cover of Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue (the best-selling jazz album of all time), twelve years of advertising with United Technologies, and a litany of awards from such organizations as ICP, ASMP, ADC, PPA, and Cooper Union. Since he stopped taking on commercial work in the late ’90s, Jay has continued to focus on his personal work.
Make Your Own Camera Obscura [Instructables How-To] The tech revolution has enabled anyone with a point-and-shoot (or cellphone) and a Facebook account to share their photography “skills” with the world. While we totally encourage the creation and sharing of artwork on the internet, we hope that technique, artistry and an attention to detail aren’t lost along the way. Our new digital photography column, Digital Dark Room, aims to highlight the history and different disciplines within the genre of photography and show you how to practice them yourself… even if all you’re using is an iPhone app. This week’s Instructables How-To shows you how to construct your own pinhole camera. The materials you will need, some of which can be found around the house, include a shoebox, photo paper, a thin piece of metal, electrical tape, an exacto knife, needle, and sandpaper.

It's About The Work: Jay Maisel He recently turned 80 years old and has more than 55 years of professional shooting under his belt. Jay Maisel is recognized as one of the top natural-light photographers in the world. Having lived in New York his entire life, the city is in his blood and he has used the wonderful backdrop of Manhattan to become a master of street photography. “You see shape, and how the light hits things, how the color changes from one end of the photo to the other, and how movement affects the mood of the photo.” His vision and passion for his craft have inspired countless photographers, including Joe McNally and Scott Kelby. F+B: Do you think digital cameras have changed the aesthetics of photography, compared to shooting film? No, but it opens up doors that I couldn’t enter before because of the high ISOs that are available now. F+B: You’ve said that a lot of photographers are not aware of their capacities and how good they are and that the things that hold them back are sometimes very simple.
