Mirrorless is the future. Mirrorless is the best. DSLRs are dead! These are things we all hear every single day in the photography world, but there are some out there who believe otherwise. There is no doubt that further (much further) down the line, Mirrorless cameras will likely kill of the DSLR, but Ricoh believes that the mighty DSLR will put up a heck of a fight along the road to inevitability, in fact they are so confident that they think DSLR deserters will return to the cameras two years after leaving for the promised land of Mirrorless. Join us after the break for more details.
Let’s be honest, you probably have all the gear that you NEED as a photographer–wanting and needing are two different things. But what every photographer needs (and it’s true today more than ever) is an actual functioning website. Your Instagram isn’t enough–that’s a place for us to see the work that you do in a less curated fashion as you work tirelessly to beat an algorithm. But a website from a company that is ethical to photographers like Format is worth the investment into yourself. Your Instagram can get shut down, shadow banned, etc. But a platform that you control won’t have that problem. And trust us, it’s a set it and forget it type of thing with occasional updates and a far less toxic community than Instagram can be.

Exciting times are ahead, as they report that things are coming together nicely!
We are always in search of the perfect camera. We read reviews, we watch videos, we drool over spec sheets, and we marvel at all the things that modern cameras can do. It is so easy to get caught up in the the new camera spec wars these days that it can be easy to take a wrong turn down the camera highway. After leaving behind Canon and their cameras after 17 years of use, I embarked on a journey to find the perfect camera for me, and it led me down a long dusty road to the last place I ever would have imagined. Pentax.

All photos by Stian Klo. Used with Creative Commons permission. We’ve seen a fair bit of beautiful landscape photography, in all its surreal glory. It’s stuff we’ll never get tired of.

Last time we put the spotlight on the work of Los Angeles-based photographer and director Dean Bradshaw, he opened our eyes to the interesting and imaginative world of the real life superhero subculture. In another clever project, however, he wanted to bring our attention to the playful concept of weekend warriors past their prime but still leading active lifestyles. Fine art photographers who are looking to add humor into their conceptual work will do well to learn from this body of work!
“I think true creative art is rare,” says Washington based photographer, Tye Died. “…But when an artist gets exceptional at creating their own unique style, that is when they truly contribute to the artistic world.” For The Phoblographer, Tye is certainly someone who has taken their style and ran with it. Her moody, dark and sometimes twisted concepts are in their own way, extremely beautiful. Every idea has meaning and each detail is an important cog in her creative wheel. Online she says very little. But whatever she does say carries a big impact, that’s why we were so intrigued by her work. Eager to know more about the person behind these marvellous creations, we reached out to Tye – who in return gave us one of the most insightful and interesting interviews to date.
