I could write literal poetry to the Nikon 40mm f2. First off, Nikon made their 40mm lens smaller than a bunch of others on the market. The Zeiss option available for Sony is very large; and considering the issues with Zeiss’s Loxia lenses, it’s probably bound to have problems too. But with the Nikon, you’re getting beautiful image quality, a nearly true-normal lens, and weather resistance. On top of all that, the autofocus is good. And most importantly, when mated to the right camera, it will be a combo you want to bring with you everywhere. There’s much more in our review. If that’s not good enough, then it’s got an instant rebate right now. Check out this and more great Nikon deals below!
I need to preface this article with saying that in college, I was primarily a video guy. I graduated in 2009, and work on documentary/news style video work. But when I got out of college, stills paid the bills. Indeed, you can even see this in the history of the Phoblographer’s website. We used to do a lot of video related stuff; but it made no sense to do it after a while because of how pageviews came in. With that said, I still shoot video in that same way. I tend to work with on-camera filters, white balance, and camera profiles to give me the look I want. I don’t shoot video in RAW formats and instead cut together everything I’ve made because I got it right in-camera in the first place. Yet with video so much more common, I still don’t think that the best cameras for video really exist anymore. But Sony came very close a long time ago.
Modern cameras are far more capable than smartphones. I’m not talking about DSLRs here, as the optical viewfinders let them have great battery life. But modern mirrorless cameras do so much these days that the battery life has to keep up. Indeed, even as pretty much all cameras received new battery boosts in the past decade, new things have continued to drain the performance. Let’s dive into why this is such a problem.
“1. “I’m really pleased to say that I have seen a substantial uptick in women’s self-made leadership roles in the film photography community since beginning my career,” says photographer Nicole Taylor DeWitt, who runs Hi Desert Film lab. “The film photography industry is incredibly receptive to anyone who is willing to carve out their own niche. Luckily, there is more access to visibility than ever, with tools like social media to share how you work.” Nicole joins so many other women taking up leadership roles in the analog film photography world — which is getting trickier to navigate as time passes.

“You were proud of your heritage but had little understanding of its whole meaning and significance,” says photographer and visual artist Melanie Issaka of what it was like to grow up as an African in the UK 20 years ago. She spoke in great detail about the roadblocks and frustrations that many POC artists have to go through even today. What irks her the most is being asked to adjust her work to fit in more with what an audience wants. Rather than to express it wholeheartedly for what it is.
“I’m most productive when I simply show up and allow the light and landscape to guide me,” says US-based hobbyist photographer Tara Workman about the secret to locating landscape gems for her cameras. She finds that locating abstract sections in the scenes around her allows her to showcase a sense of mystery and drama. New places she discovers can be overwhelming, but there’s a sense of familiarity for her when re-exploring an old location.
With over 14 years in the photography world, we’ve featured a vast number of photographers on our site. Many of them got a major boost to their careers after we featured them. And a category that we’ve strayed away from is Fashion Photography. We love what the most influential fashion photographers do and all the creativity that they put into their work. Our interviews and features are often on those who are much more creative, ethereal, magical, and those who don’t use a lot of Photoshop. And in this roundup of the best fashion photographers that we’ve put the spotlight on, you’ll see why we love them.
