"Wouldn't it be super cool to capture all that information before it all melted away?" photographer Laure Winants says to the Phoblographer in an interview -- putting into our head so many different ideas. "I used the photogram to be able to imprint in real-time during the drilling, the air bubbles with millions of years of information in it." By definition, photograms are prints made by laying objects onto photographic paper and exposing them to light. It gets even more intriguing when you realize that Laure made these images in the Arctic to map climate change ..read more

"She captured a humanity that I feel escapes us today and perhaps is not so readily captured," says Kathy Gannon to the Phoblographer in an interview about late photojournalist Anja Niedringhaus. "Anja's images allow us to see the people, their heart, their souls, and not just the conflict. That in itself is an extraordinary accomplishment and not one that many photojournalists accomplish." She and Anja worked together, and she's now one of the curators of an exhibit closing soon at the Bronx Documentary Center ..read more

There are few things as wonderful as knowing that you got the shot in-camera and don't need to do post-production to it. It comes with a sense of pride and accomplishment that's akin to scoring a 100% on a test when you're a young kid. Thankfully, LUMIX cameras can help to get you most of the way -- or they'd get most of your artistic vision done right in the device. I'm not talking about Real Time LUT or Live Composite this time. I'm talking about the filter settings -- it's a bit of a forgotten and lesser talked about feature that photographers should have a lot of fun with ..read more

I have a confession: most of Joel Meyerowitz's work isn't very appealing to me. That's completely different from saying that the man hasn't made great images. He surely has made wonderful photographs that continue to captivate photographers today. However, I think he's probably one of the single greatest indirect photography teachers today. Make no mistake, Joel Meyerowitz: A Question of Color doesn't have any of his greatest images; but it contains his greatest teachings ever. In fact, I think even advanced photographers will rediscover something in his words ..read more

"With the unfortunate position to speak to art and commerce simultaneously, I will say that blending the two is always a challenge but this one takes the cake for me," says photographer Ryan Schaude to the Phoblographer in an interview. "It might take a separate thread to discuss the technical and human relations aspects which were vast." Ryan is quite a unique photographer. Where so much of the photography is done with lots of post-production later on, Ryan shot the lead image and the photo later on in this story all in-camera. They're not at all composited -- and this is a level of productio ..read more

Adobe Firefly is powering several of the new advancements that are being announced by the company at MAX today. Quite honestly, they're insanely dystopian yet also pretty exciting for the future of photography if ethics and regulations are put into place. Daido Moriyama says that the camera is an imperfect way of capturing reality, so a photograph can totally be made in post-production. But when does a photograph stop being a photograph and instead be a composite? That's a question I believe photographers should ask themselves when using the new Photoshop features. Included is a new adjustment ..read more

For years, portrait photographers adhered to a simple three-color rule. This was in an effort to their images simple and the heroes of their images as the most important part. It prevented distractions, for sure. For example, someone might be framed in green field while they're wearing a blue outfit. And depending on the tonality of the image, the colors might not even be an important part -- especially if the blue mixes into the sky. Colors can indeed be an incredibly important part of the photograph. Luckily for us, LUMIX cameras have a command over colors in full-frame cameras that we just ..read more
