Conscientious Extended | A conversation with Todd Hido

Conscientious Extended | A conversation with Todd Hido | Photography Now | Scoop.it

Todd Hido might be mostly known for his eerie night-time scenes of anonymous suburban settings, but has also done portraits. In fact, he is one of the photographers whose work will be shown in A New American Portrait. I talked with Todd about his work, and about how to shoot a great portrait.

Time-Lapse Overkill

Time-Lapse Overkill | Photography Now | Scoop.it
The old maxim, just because you can, doesn’t mean you should, has never been more applicable than with the excessive overuse of time-lapse videos.

Why Choose a Holga? Part III – Film to Book — John Stanmeyer

Why Choose a Holga? Part III – Film to Book — John Stanmeyer | Photography Now | Scoop.it

Digital cameras took away the mystery — and at times, suspense — of photography. The pensive wait for hours or days thereafter for the film to be developed has been replaced with instant gratification at a press of the button.

Film and a Holga simply does not work that way, taking you back in time (not that long ago) when thought and patients reigned.

It’s An Animal That We Can’t Stop






You can’t stop progress.  We are artists and we will do what we can given the constraints we’re given, but the minute we start to fight and stress….well I don’t have that time.

The Amazing Yellow-Bordered Magazine — John Stanmeyer

The Amazing Yellow-Bordered Magazine — John Stanmeyer | Photography Now | Scoop.it

“What’s it like photographing a National Geographic story?”

It’s a question frequently asked and to be honest, a rather intriguing one because a National Geographic story — the process from beginning to conclusion — is not always what we might think.

lens culture: Saul Leiter

lens culture: Saul Leiter | Photography Now | Scoop.it

Saul Leiter started shooting color and black-and-white street photography in New York in the 1940s. He had no formal training in photography, but the genius of his early work was quickly acknowledged by Edward Steichen, who included Leiter in two important MoMA shows in the 1950s. MoMA’s 1957 conference “Experimental Photography in Color” featured 20 color photographs by Leiter.

HISTORY OF PHOTOGRAPHY: Light Painting by Pablo Picasso | Photography Now | Scoop.it


















El gran Pablo Picasso experimentó con la pintura de luz en sus últimos días. Picasso se paró frente a la cámara, armado con una linterna, y trazó su estilo de imágenes en el aire antes de que el obturador se cerrara de golpe.
