I find it especially frustrating when you're at the right place at the wrong time. A lot of places become really interesting in the right lighting/weather conditions, and a lot of that is up to chance. For my more elaborate images I try to find locations, scout out where I will take pictures from, then go back when the time is right and get the shot.

During Semana Santa in Spain, I'd have done absolutely no research at all as I only realized it was the Holy Week when I was on the plane. So cue me going to Toledo during the day only to discover all the events were in the evening.
Waiting for 6 hours suck.

I admit it, I watched lots of "Next Top Fashion Model" just to see how the photographers go about it.

Yes. I'm ashamed to admit I watched Make Me a Supermodel just to see what that Perou guy would photograph. They actually mixed up the photographers quite a bit and there was a fairly decent amount of focus on that considering it was a show about models.

I remember one cringe-worthy occasion. The models were in a absolutely fabulous hotel, swimming pool, sun, palm trees... But for the photo shoot the photographer set up an impromptu studio and shot ordinary white background photos.

Picture This

Surprisingly interesting. I remember complaining to my girlfriend about how I'd love to watch a photography reality show similar to Project Runway, where the contestants are all already skilled.
I guess my wish came true because I'm actually enjoying this. There's also some sort of satisfaction in watching this and thinking "I can do this too.."

EDIT:
I just watched the first episode and they didn't kick Aron out.

At least Ed's still on. His quip about him not reading fashion magazines actually did make me laugh.

It's like the kid's followed up on the tips from many photographers to take as many pictures of the situation as possible. Unfortunately looks like he didn't listen to them say the situation had to be interesting or that you had to make a selection afterwards.

Guess who I met and listened to for several hours at his house?

Magnum photographer Carl De Keyzer

He was very talkative, managing to answer most of our questions by introducing himself and his work. He elaborated on how he started off, how he makes his living etc etc...
He also absolutely loves electronic music. The first thing you notice when you enter his atelier aren't the cameras because they aren't there, you notice this absolutely huge analogue synthesizer.

This video is great:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=js7RzcdDcMs

a wedding photographer uses a Digital Rebel with kit lens, doesn't know what aperture is, and prints her wedding photos at Walmart. Judge Joe Brown manages to name-drop his pelican case and tells the photog she should be using a 1-series Canon with 28-70L lens.

Check out the reaction of the woman to the right in the background at 3:43. It's the moment she realises the defendant is an amateur. You could tell Brown's been doing photography for some time, he still refers to that lens as the 28-70 when it has already been upgraded for a quite long time.

I just noticed the defendants contradicted themselves. Early on, one said they've done hundreds and later the other said this was their first wedding show.

Judging from my own fairly limited sample pool, the photo department at my art school/workplace is usually like 90% female students to 10% male.

However, the entire photo faculty is men.

At my school we have roughly 40% guys, 60% girls. I can't talk about the whole photo faculty, but my current teachers are 4 women and 2 guys.

Does anyone know the photographer who did a typology of lots of different types of people? A sort of dictionary of style.
They were loads of pictures, shot on a white background I think and the people were divided into cliques like punks and skaters.

Don't know about a modern take on it, but Auguste Sander did this for the German people during the first half of the 20th century. Very important historical document and important inspiration for the Becher couple.

I can appreciate the whole "wanna document history" mindset for embedded journalists, but I gotta say, if an area is so dangerous that you have to hide a camera under your arm to avoid being shot at, perhaps it's time to rethink priorities.

That said, the shots he got are pretty cool. I think this means there's a market for super wide sensors that can take shots like this without having to pan.

I'd want to tell you more, but I'm in a hurry. Check out Carl De Keyzer's series Trinity, where he worked exclusively with a panorama camera.

Looks really, Hollywood. I don't know, I've seen the same conflict covered shortly in War Photographer and I doubt anything else will have the same impact. Also, the Bang Bang Club is such an undocumented group of photographers I'm glad something's finally done about them. By the way, I wonder who will play the James Nachtwey cameo. He was there when Ken Oosterbroek died

EDIT: And holy poo poo, Joao Silva actually lost both of his legs recently in Afghanistan. I haven't heard that yet.

A friend of mine works at Hasselblad. I got a private tour of the facilities and got to play around with their cameras and lenses, and their stuff makes my Canon seem like an outdated toy. They really put out an insane amount of detail. The user interface seems kind of rough though, guess that comes with being a specialized device.

To illustrate, they put up this to show how much detail you can get: Link

My teacher spent the better part of a morning explaining EVERY BUTTON there is on a Hasselblad. It took him like half an hour to explain how you load a film in. :suicide:

You wouldn't believe the amount of times my fellow students came out with blank 120 film because they had forgotten to take out the dark-slide.

I think they've made the Hasselblad more idiot-proof because you can't even take a picture anymore with the dark-slide still slotted in with ours.

Last time I went through O'hare there was someone waiting to question me about my bag.

She just wanted to ask me want kind of telephoto I was carrying because she was looking to get one herself in the future, but she lost interest once I said I shot Nikon, haha (she didn't pull me off to the side or anything, just chit chatted while I was putting my shoes back on and whatnot).

Really not seeing what was so controversial but I appreciate your "I get photography more than you" incredulous wankery.

Pretty much this.

There's no reason it can't be artistically competent and culturally important at the same time and I think it's silly to say that it doesn't matter.

For specific examples, go to Reuters best of 2012 and look at the Korean pool photo which is pretty much technically terrible, then look at the photo of the man being dragged through the streets which is "if I spend too much time on these photos I could literally be killed" and so the technical aspects are largely irrelevant, and then look at the photo of the two hunters with bows framed around a helicopter at dawn/dusk and appreciate that it tells an important story while also being a really interesting photo in itself.

I just want to butt in and use this discussion as an excuse to post some Luc Delahaye. His pictures often have the immediacy of typical photojournalist pictures, capturing the decisive moment. At the same time, he frames it almost like a tableau, more similar to Jeff Wall.

Well turns out it's really loving basic and what they meant by must have digital camera is a $50 p&s. There are people in the class that can't open a file in loving photoshop. This is my hell but at least it's an easy A I guess. Would have much rather what I was afraid of happening.

First project was shoot a portrait with both your hands and feet in it. We've been working on 3 prints for these for 3 weeks.... This can't be it.

So I'm wondering if anyone can help me find a photographer whose name I can't remember. He did a series of portraits in the back of what I believe was a truck. The roll door of the truck was open, so you could see the landscape outside, with the subject just inside. The photographer shot wide enough that you saw not just the scenery around the truck, but the inside of the truck as well, including the lights all set up; it was a very cool framing device. Any idea who this was?

Hmm, I'm pretty sure you would have remembered it was set in Iraq, but by any chance is it Ben Lowy's pictures of Iraq?

How much heat does a studio flash give off? I'm trying to recreate an underwater environment and the best way to get it seems to put your hand about a foot in front of the flash.
