Let’s forget about the rhetoric of what makes a great lens, megapixels, clinical sharpness, etc. And instead, let’s talk about the final look in the end. Everyone loves the way that film looks. It’s hard to deny just how gorgeous is can make someone appear in a well-made photograph. And if you’re into portrait photography and the film look, we have great news. It’s possible to get this look with full-frame cameras and without using post-production. It starts with LUMIX cameras, the Real Time LUT feature, and to shoot like you’re shooting film.
In a move that’s bound to shock the world, Disney and National Geographic announced a sale of the entire photo archive to OpenAI. The company claims that it’s in an effort to allow future AI creators to bring more authenticity to the scenes they imagine. The archive includes several of the world’s most famous images, …
A while back, Getty purchased Unsplash. The company was known for convincing photographers to give their images up for use without the limits of commercial licenses, attribution, etc. Now, Getty has sold the archive of images to Midjourney AI — who will use the high quality images to enrich their databases.

At the recent TIPA 2024 meeting, editors couldn’t even call the brand by its new name: OM System. Instead, we all just said Olympus. And if you walk into retailers, they barely ever call it OM System. Let’s be honest, we all felt it was an odd change. But today, the OM System formerly known …

This deals ends very shortly! One of the cool things about the LUMIX S5IIX is the stealthy blacked out logo that doesn’t bring attention to itself. I’ve always wanted to get the look of film but digitally and with full-frame cameras. Thankfully, that exists by using Real Time LUTS! The LUMIX S5IIX is very capable …

Canon lenses are fantastic. They’re the ones that I use for nearly all the product images I shoot for our reviews of books, cameras, lenses, lights, etc. Indeed, the lenses and the cameras work together to have a look. I don’t care about clinical image quality, insane sharpness, vignetting, etc when I work with them. …
