Archaic focusing system, no video mode, no USB socket: the Leica M10 isn't for everyone (and at $6600 body-only is prohibitively expensive), but it's absolutely lovely. Announced earlier this week, a pre-production unit found its way into our hands. In case... more

Yesterday, I went out to photograph the protests in Washington, D.C. during Trump’s inauguration. I’m a professional freelance photographer, and I had never really taken a stab at photojournalism before, so this seemed like a good time to try.

I followed a group of protesters and they ended up leading me to a big intersection where people were dancing and a band was playing; it was a pretty peaceful group, and everyone was having fun. I got some great shots of that... more

Donald Trump officially became the President of the United States yesterday, and his official portrait has been published as well.

While I finally had a satisfying mirrorless experience, with great autofocus, low-light capabilities, and image quality, I quickly realized the system was lacking in the flash department. Not only did Fuji lack a dedicated speedlight, the low market share has kept 3rd... more

Photographer Alessandro Michelazzi recently attended the 91st “Pitti Immagine Uomo” male fashion fair in his city, Florence, Italy. While there, he shot a creative portrait project in which he... more

At the beginning of 2016, I decided to stop digital photography for good and therefore sold my last digital tool, the Leica M Monochrom.

My reason was that I was longing to get back to making black and white photos in the traditional way again: I wanted to start by putting a black and white film into a camera, taking the photos, developing the negatives and transforming them into a real photo on baryte paper.
