It could be argued that for my generation, no other company had such an impact on our early childhood entertainment than did Disney. Beyond the children watching their cartoons, though, their impact on entertainment and animation technology should go without saying.
Hi everyone, We just turned seven years old and we’re going through a bit of necessary expansion in order to grow the business for next year. To do this, we’re searching for an internationally based news writer for the Phoblographer (ahead of the EST time zone) and an editor for La Noir Image: our premium …
Actor and now social media app developer, Troy Akin, has launched a Kickstarter campaign for his latest project, ModelBs. The app is designed to connect models and photographers in a safe and efficient manner. Similar to the popular dating app, Tinder, users will swipe right on models/photographers they wish to work with and if they match, they move on to the next step in setting up a photo shoot. The project is currently seeking to raise $50,000 in start-up funding with an estimated launch of March 2017.
Now that it is the winter and Wedding photographers are in their off-season across much of the northern hemisphere, many are taking stock of their current kits. This is the time to look at what else is on the market, look into buying new gear, and trying out the latest technological achievements. Sony has been one of the most talked about brands of the last few years, and their current generation A7 series full frame mirrorless cameras offer what a lot of professionals are looking for. Here are our picks for kit options for wedding pros thinking about jumping into the FE system here in 2017.
Impossible is trying their best to bring back that classic Polaroid film and ecosystem, but I think it would be safe to say that the king of instant film photography currently is Fujifilm’s Instax line. These are great for fun family photography as well as professional uses. Thanks to some post-holiday savings, you can get some great deals on Instax products, as noted below:
In some ways, it perplexes me that Sony still has the a99 and Alpha series of cameras. Sure, they’re from the Minolta days and have a heritage behind them but admittedly the company doesn’t push them anywhere as hard as they do their E mount lineup. I wish they did though–Minolta was at one time one of the most important camera companies in the world. So if you look at the Sony a99 II and trace its evolution, you honestly won’t see a whole lot of that heritage sans the mount. But this could arguably also be said for the original a99 with the new hot shoe. In all honesty though, that choice was for the better.
It’s a sad fact that companies look to work with photographers that have large numbers of followers on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, etc. Heck, it’s how we grew Phoblographer. So if you’ve been in the industry for a while, you most likely know who Hattie Watson is. But for the uninitiated, Hattie was (and is still) a beautiful model with lots of tattoos that works really well on camera. She’s taken the transition to being a photographer, but she explains that when she started out, that no one really wanted to work with her.
Fujifilm turned a lot of heads in September with their GFX 50s announcement. We have all been patiently waiting for the cameras to hit the market even if the fact is that most of us will still find them out of our price bracket by a good margin.
Today, Rokinon announced a new 20mm f1.8 lens for photographers along with the same lens in a cinema version. It’s going to be available in pretty much every mount made, and feature seven aperture blades, a minimum focusing distance of under 1 meter and a 77mm filter thread.
Hi everyone, If you’re reading this on December 27, 2016, then please know that today is our seventh birthday. It’s been quite a roller coaster since founding this website a long time ago in a bedroom while wearing pajamas. And I genuinely hope that this website’s origin story is an inspiration to you find a …
