The Great Gatsby is one of the latest movie crazes this year, and part of it is all about the looks and styling–just like Mad Men. But there is a lot that goes into the creation of these scenes from the wardrobe to the actual vision and everything to the editing. We scoured the web to try to find some of the best photo shoots inspired by the movie.
And here’s what we found.

“Oh my! What a big lens you have!” That’s a joke that perhaps every sports or wedding photographer has heard. And those who choose to spring for Sigma’s new 120-300mm f2.8 DG OS HSM will probably hear the same thing. We played with a prototype around Photo Plus and at that point had yet to hear about pricing. But now, you’ll have to shell out $3,599 to hear bridesmaids everywhere compliment you about how big your lens is. And just in time for wedding season, it will be available in early May!
But that’s not all! They’re also announcing a $59 price for their USB dock to update the firmware on their new lenses.

It’s a brand new year, and that also means that you’re probably prepping for a whole new wedding season. To boot, since the days are getting longer you’re probably also wanting to work with natural light more often and taking further advantage of the golden hour. But if you’re starting to think about some upgrades, maybe you should consider some of the latest and greatest that many companies have been putting out as of late.
This is our Wedding Guide for 2013.

All images shot by Candice Benjamin. Used with permission
Lots of people love Dr. Who–and some people love it so much that they opt for an entire wedding/engagement shoot modelled after it. Indeed, the series that has been running for well over 20 seasons has accumulated quite the cult following and has found ways to constantly reinvent itself. The hit BBC series was what one wedding revolved around for wedding photographer Candice Benjamin. “We love this idea of mixing geek with chic…something we don’t see too often sadly,” states Candice in her blog post.
The couple and Candice nailed lots of subtle details while not going over the top. There is the dalek, the bow tie, and lots of the other colors and accessories. Though we would have liked to have seen the sonic screwdriver–maybe with the ring around it! Take a look at some of the other photos after the jump.

All images are owned by Dana Grant. Used with permission
The movie Oz has been out in theaters for a while now, but for those of you that have always been a fan of the books (I’ve downloaded and read 12) you’ll probably become smitten with this recent shoot. Dana Grant is a photographer based on California and is quite the stylish snapper–as well as one heck of a creative. For this particular shoot though, Dana explores the notion of what would happen if Dorothy and Oz fell for one another. And wow, did she nail this universe so well. She got the details perfect–everything from the yellow brick road, the wardrobe and all.
Take a look at some other photos after the jump. But be sure to check out Dana’s website and also become her acolyte on Facebook.

Every now and then a unit comes in for review that makes us scratch our heads. We don’t believe that anyone ever sits there and says, “Let’s make a crappy product that won’t sell and that I’ll lose a lot of money on.” No–despite the hardships that the American economy is facing, I believe that no one does that. We were hooked with the Flashpipe by way of advertising on our website and being the primary strobist on the staff, I decided to give it a try.
This speedite modifier takes the existing light from your flash and traps it into the equivalent of a small light strip. But how is it so far?
Editor’s Note: Despite this company being an advertiser, please note that we take our editorial values very seriously and we would never try to mislead anyone.
