In this post, I’ll share how I do quick and easy color cast removal using Photoshop. I will provide some examples to show you that it can work for a wide range of images. The color cast removal process I will explain may not be a universal solution but it seems to be very resilient.
Former White House photographer Pete Souza often gets asked about the camera gear he uses, so he posted this 11-minute video to Instagram this week to show what’s in his camera bag.
There’s not really that much to say about this video from Ryan at Small Moments Studios (which does contain some pretty strong language in parts). It pretty much speaks for itself. He’s been stuck in his house now for 23 days and his business is on hiatus, Why? Well, there’s kind of a global pandemic going on.
In this video we’ll cover all of the cropping and straightening options in Lightroom mobile.
While photos of male models were once limited to underwear ads with six-pack abs, the field is changing—for the better. With major brands turning to street-casting and alternative modeling agencies, photographers now have more freedom to experiment with how they portray male individuality and masculinity.
Fujifilm has just announced the beginning of its “Students of Storytelling” competition, a twist on the traditional photo/video contest where students submit proposals, and Fuji gives them the gear they need to bring their vision to life. When they’re done, they get to keep the gear!
When it comes to major retouching like changing eye color, most of us choose to use Photoshop or a similar pixel editor rather than a RAW editor like Lightroom. But as Anthony Morganti shows in the tutorial above, you don’t actually have to leave Lightroom to make this kind of edit.
The Godox AD1200 Pro (AKA the Flashpoint XPLOR 1200 Pro R2) was first teased way back in December, when it was still in the prototype stage. Not much has changed about the overall look of the product since then, but Godox seems confident that the strobe is now ready for prime time.
Blackmagic Design has just announced the new Atem Mini Pro, a streaming-focused update to the popular live streaming switcher announced at IBC last year. To go along with it, the Blackmagic Camera 6.9 update for the Pocket 4K and Pocket 6K adds direct support for the Atem Mini Pro, letting you remotely control and match up to four of the cameras from the new live production switcher.
You might have the creative part down, but in order to launch and maintain a successful career as a professional photographer, it’s just as important to focus on the business side of your workflow. It might not be as fun or glamorous as the actual shooting, but it’s what will keep you going in the long-term.
In a bid to help health care professionals, children, educators, and the creative community during these uncertain and unsettling times, Sony has announced the establishment of a $100 million “Sony Global Relief Fund for COVID-19.”
Product photographer Dustin Dolby is back with another workphlo tutorial that tackles a difficult subject in simple terms: how to shoot reflective products using only a single light source.
If you’ve been eyeing Peak Design’s highly acclaimed line of bags, straps, and accessories, now may be the time to pull out your wallet. The company is holding a huge “Weird Times Sale,” offering up to 40% off the vast majority of its products.
I’m genuinely amazed that this isn’t already a thing, but Canon has filed a patent for a pop-up electronic viewfinder. It really does make a lot of sense, because it means that there isn’t normally something sticking out the top of the camera when not in use, and when it is in use, you still
In this video, you will learn how to remove anything from a photo in Photoshop. We will use three techniques that will allow you to remove distracting objects from your photos. The first two techniques in this tutorial will allow you to remove small things from your photos. While the third technique will be more
The 500px team wanted to take a minute to address the impact that COVID-19 is having and send our love and best wishes to our millions of photographers around the world. We know that this is an extremely difficult time for everyone as you practice social distancing and we want to do whatever we can
The International Center of Photography in New York City is putting together a “virtual archive” of the coronavirus pandemic, and they want all photographers—professional and otherwise—to contribute their work to this living archive as a way of fostering community. The call to action was officially published on March 20rd and shared through the ICP website
[embedded content] Photographer Mathieu Stern has put together a simple step-by-step that will teach you how to turn your digital photographs into beautiful cyanotype prints. If you’ve never made physical prints at home, consider this your gateway drug. The cyanotype is a photographic printing process that was invented in 1842 by astronomer Sir John Herschel.
As with a majority of newbies to photography, the obsession with gear and chasing the newest toys proved to be irresistible to me. I spent far more time reading reviews, comparing charts, watching youtube videos, and looking for deals than actually going out and shooting. I took hundreds of test shots to make sure the
Canon not letting all of their cameras shoot 24p video in all resolutions has been a big problem for a lot of people, and it’s put many people off adding certain Canon cameras to their collection. Or, they’ve got one but had to deal with clunky framerate conversion workarounds. Fortunately, Canon seems to have woken
Nikon’s entry into the full-frame mirrorless market came in the shapes of Nikon Z6 and Z7 cameras. The Nikon Z7 is the high megapixel version of the two, sporting a 45.7 MP BSI CMOS sensor and a more sophisticated autofocus system with 493 phase-detection autofocus points. Since much of the camera capabilities of the Nikon Z7 comes from high-end cameras like the Nikon D850, and due to the fact that mirrorless cameras introduce new features previously not found on DSLRs, the number of controls and menu settings on this camera can be quite confusing, even for an advanced photographer. In this article, I will provide information on what settings I personally use on the Nikon Z7 and shortly explain what some of the camera buttons and controls do.
What does the future hold for nature photographers—their equipment, techniques, approaches, output, influence and access to nature subjects themselves? Here are perspectives from two Outdoor Photographer contributors, long-time columnist and nature photography icon George D. Lepp, and Aaron Baggenstos, award-winning nature and wildlife photographer and photo tour leader.
In the last five years, everyone from National Geographic to Mashable has hosted a “faceless portrait” challenge for members of their communities. In 2017, a young woman in Poland made international headlines for her “faceless” Instagram feed, where she shared anonymous self-portraits and amassed over 100,000 followers.
The United Nations has published a “global call to creatives” from around the world—photographers, filmmakers, artists, and beyond—asking them to submit engaging content that can help in the fight against the novel coronavirus. The open brief, initially published through Google Docs, is asking creatives to use their art to help spread awareness and education that might help stop the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus.
I’m light-painting photographer Russell Klimas, and in this article I’ll share how I do top-down light painting in a room. I was originally inspired to do this technique because when I had done it with a drone I had a troll complain that the images weren’t clear enough.
[embedded content] Huawei recently revealed the P40 Pro smartphone: the company’s latest flagship complete with some very impressive camera specs. But the most impressive thing about this phone might not be the cameras themselves, but their insane digital image stabilization. Shortly after the announcement last week, a video started making the rounds that purports to
Given that The Photography Show didn’t happen, NAB and Photokina aren’t happening, and many governments around the world are telling us that we could potentially be in lockdown for more than six months, IBC, PPE and the rescheduled TPS might not happen, either. But Canon is pressing on with their gear announcements regardless.
In this guide, I will provide detailed information on what settings I use on my Nikon Z6 and shortly explain what some of the camera buttons and controls do. Although the Nikon Z6 is practically identical in its build, button layout / design and ergonomics to the Z7, there are some important differences between the two cameras worth going over. In addition, since we are providing our readers a downloadable settings file that can be loaded directly into the Z6, the file from the Z7 settings article would not work either. Without further ado, let’s get started!
It was in the 1920s and 30s that stock photography first came into vogue, forever changing the way images were used and published. For the first time, brands and publications could use stock photo libraries to quickly and easily find great pictures to use for their campaigns and articles—without having to commission their own shoots
Phase One Industrial just unveiled a monstrous 280MP aerial camera system that, according to the company, “redefines large format aerial imaging.” It’s also described as “affordable,” weighing in at just $455,000 for the full solution. Before sticker shock sets in, it’s worth pointing out that this is affordable … relatively speaking. Industrial large format aerial
