Have you ever wondered what it’s like to shoot stills behind the scenes for movies and TV shows? Well, the streaming giant, Netflix, has opened up applications to join its first-ever Unit Photography Bootcamp. It’s a three-day course on unit stills photography, running in July. The bad news, however, is that it’s only open to […]
Artist and activist Stuart Semple started a new project with a plan to take on “corporate overlords” Adobe. As a response to “renting” Adobe software, he has created Abode, a new software suite for creators. It’s yours to keep forever once you buy it, but there’s a potential problem: everything looks a lot like Adobe, […]
Instagram’s algorithms are actively promoting child sex abuse rings, studies have reported. Networks of paedophiles are using the network to commission and share illegal content, as well as grooming new victims. The Wall Street Journal and academics at Stanford University and the University of Massachusetts Amherst conducted a joint investigation into the issue. The […]
The term “cinematic” means lots of different things to different people. There are a lot of people out there who believe it’s anything shot on full-frame with a shallow depth of field. Some think it’s anything shot with a super-wide 2.35:1 aspect ratio. These ideas are all a bit simplistic, though. They’re also usually wrong. […]
To capture these images, we had firebreathers and pyrotechnicians breathe fire on and around the Perpetual Plastic Machine. But first, some background. I started this project to raise awareness for the simple fact that Because plastic waste in the ocean is universally condemned, the plastic industry tries to redirect everyones energy toward waste management. But […]

The only real difference here is that there’s something to capture the image. In this case, the digital sensor of your mirrorless camera or DSLR. In this video, Sean from Fotodiox walks […]
Adobe only launched its AI model Firefly three months ago, and I feel like it’s everywhere. Well, even if it isn’t really, it might be because Adobe has now opened its AI model to businesses. At this year’s Adobe Summit, the company presented Adobe Firefly for Enterprise. This means that companies can use Firefly […]
Sigma has officially announced the new Sigma 14mm f/1.4 DG DN Art series lens (buy here), and it’s huge. This stonking monster of a lens is an ultra-wide-angle full-frame lens with an equally wide f/1.4 maximum aperture. The lens is the widest f/1.4 aperture lens available today and is coming to L mount as well […]
Recently, I posted a photo to my Instagram account. Unexpectedly, some media shared the photo, and soon enough, it went viral. Well, maybe better to say “locally viral”. But at the same speed, comments like “it’s fake” and “it’s photoshopped” arrived. To be honest, I didn’t care much. There was something in that feeling of […]
Back in the days of film cameras, being able to accurately judge a correct exposure without having to fish around for a light meter was extremely handy. To do this, photographers would use the Sunny 16 Rule. Now that we have light meters and histograms built into our digital cameras it’s easy to dismiss it […]
