Ok, we get it. You shot it with your phone. You brought your DSLR, but you fell into a fountain and waterlogged all your gear. The repair estimate was nearly $2,000, except you went to Thailand and got it fixed for $120. Good thing you had your iPhone.

The quality was so good that your client, a barber named Steve who has never paid for photography, couldnt tell the difference.

When your friend challenged you to take a night shot with your phone, you muttered, bring it on... more

Working for free has a huge stigma attached to it, and for good reason. If you don’t know how to work for free properly, you can be taken advantage of and devalue other photographers’ work in the process. That’s why there are, in my opinion, only 3 reasons to work for free.

UK-based filmmaker Nick Driftwood has been busy, making a 360-degree video rig using six Panasonic Lumix GX80 (GX85 in the US) bodies, each fitted with a 3.25mm lens, covering a field of view of 243-degrees.

It might not be much, but the latest industry figures from trade body CIPA suggest the camera market may have finally bottomed-out.

Shipments of digital cameras with built-in lenses were flat, compared with the same period in 2016. This may not sound positive, but it comes after 21 consecutive quarters of year-on-year sales declines.
