  • Edward Burtynsky's Fine-Art View of the Gulf Oil Spill

    It’s hard to believe, given the tragic scenario, that anyone could find beauty in such an ugly catastrophe as the Gulf oil spill, but Canadian photographer Edward Burtynysky was able to do just that in his newly released aerial images of the disaster.

  • John Chiara doesn’t just get behind the lens, he gets inside the camera

    John truly takes the idea of “getting behind the lens” to a new level, as he must literally climb inside of the camera to load it with a giant sheet of paper coated with light-sensitive chemicals (he then exits the camera through a long tunnel that appears to be made out of garbage bags). John admits that his technique is somewhat primitive and that he doesn’t use modern light meters or even a stopwatch to make his exposures—everything is based off of intuition—but the result is absolutely breath-taking.

  • Jazz Photographer Herman Leonard Dies, Images Live on

    http://www.hermanleonard.com/ World-renowned jazz photographer Herman Leonard passed away on Saturday, August 15, at the age of 87. Tiny stages, filled with over-contrasted musicians, often illuminated by a single blinding light, one that cut through the otherwise dark, crowded, cigarette and sweat filled room—these were the iconic images that made Leonard famous—although not until more than 30 years after they were taken.

  • Larry Sultan: 'Pictures From Home'

    Larry Sultan/Courtesy Stephen Wirtz Gallery Few photographic publications of the 1970s created the stir that Evidence did. The book seemed to vindicate the idea that a photograph could be beautiful even if its creator didn’t specifically intend it to be. Conceived by young, high-concept California photographers Larry Sultan and Mike Mandel, the work winnowed images from vast corporate and government archives — the remaining evidence of tests and accidents, products and projects, the varied enterprises of the military-industrial complex.

  • Focus The Pic: Model President

    The light was fading on the Great Wall of China, and photographer Charles Dharapak’s fingers were numb from the November cold. Barack Obama was making his first presidential visit to Asia, including a stop in China. Dharapak sets the scene: “We were positioned by the president’s staff ahead of time for the photo opportunity. The White House advance team managed to successfully hold back the officials and guides as Obama walked past us alone, forward another 30 or so feet and paused, looking out.”

  • Year of the Tiger

    Photo By John Isaac The wet whorl spun by this Bengal tiger’s tail is a reminder that contrary to popular belief, cats big and small love water — at least the ones inhabiting warmer climes, in this case India’s Bandhavgarh National Park. The frozen spray also proves that a high shutter speed, here 1/640 of a second, can expose hidden beauty.

  • A Photographer's Guide To Social Media

    The forward march of communications technology has left grammar in the dust. Tweets and text messages squeeze language into the smallest possible space. Blogs and Facebook posts are written in such haste that they’re full of mistakes — if they don’t try to exempt themselves from attention to syntax by affecting a stream-of-consciousness style. Even e-mail is a punctuation-free zone.
