The Kokga Tbilisi Awards, now in its 20th year, is the largest and most prestigious photo competition in the country of Georgia. Not to be confused with the state of Georgia, the awards intend to link international photography to Georgia. The organizers of the Kolga Tbilisi photo competition have been hosting the presentation of the
While landscape photography is a lot about composition and on-location practices, one can never dismiss the importance of post-processing (or editing) the images. One question I am always asked is: “Why is editing necessary?” Well, you will almost never be able to capture a landscape image exactly how you see it with the naked eye
Venus Optics’ Laowa lenses have been growing in both notoriety and popularity over the last few years thanks to their nearly constant stream of new and interesting optics for a wide variety of mounts. The company’s latest is backed by the high-quality promise of its new Argus line: the Laowa Argus 33mm f/0.95 CF APO
Some of the most memorable pictures of the last century were created on rainy days. In 1899-1900, Alfred Stieglitz photographed a coach making its way through the city streets under a spring shower.

– Off the map with a rotten derelict trailer, in a weird forgotten valley in central Nevada, November, 2016. Lens open under the full moon ‘round midnight for 90-seconds, while I casually strolled around casting yellow, white, and red from an LED flashlight. It was the late-eighties. I had been working
Making cameras is a tough gig. Every release demands to stand out from the crowd in some way. For the Sigma fp L, it’s turning heads by the remarkably compact size and resolution-dense full-frame sensor. Is it enough? The Sigma fp L is barely wider than the lenses that get attached to it and sports
At 500px amazing photography is at our core, but these photos would not be possible without the talented people behind the lens. The 500px Spotlight series highlights the global and diverse photographers that are part of the 500px Community.

When the world went to digital and companies like Kodak and Polaroid bit the dust, Fujifilm managed to succeed, and still brings us film today (even if they have killed off a lot of the favourites). How? By switching things up and expanding into other areas, taking their chemical expertise to fields such as cosmetics
Twitter is finally rolling out bigger images in your feed after almost two months since it began testing the feature.

Since Milky Way Core season is in full swing, in this article I am going to level up and discuss one of my favorite topics: star trackers. So what in tarnation is a Star Tracker? Sounds like something they would use in Star Wars. Fear not, you are not alone. The name certainly sounds foreign,
Almost everyone wields a camera these days because they already have one by default on their smartphones. But not just any phone will capture the best results, and that’s why some stand out for particular reasons. Mobile photography is now one of the major battlegrounds for vendors trying to one-up each other. Thankfully, it’s not
In 2020, much of our lives were put on hold, but photographers, creatives, and marketers still found ways to produce content from home. Honda released a commercial shot entirely at home, using a toy car, while Zara had models shoot their campaign visuals from their homes. Tyler Babin shot a Nike advertisement in his living

Not every photographer needs to hire agency models for their projects, and, fortunately, there are many freelance models to choose from, however, finding and hiring can be a daunting process for some. Although professional agency models carry the reputation of the agency they represent when they are on the job, which, generally, is expressed as
Despite lots of gorgeous resolution and a beautiful solid metal design, the $6,400 Hasselblad 907X 50c is not without its problems. It lacks a traditional viewfinder and has noticeably slow autofocus. It’s a system that took a fair bit of practice to get used to, but once you manage to figure out the camera’s quirks,
[embedded content] Wet plate photography’s one of those mythical analogue photography processes to most of us. All we know is that some liquid gets poured onto a piece of metal or glass, it goes into a camera, the shutter is fired, magic happens and we get a photo at the end of it. But one
In what is the latest in a line of brand partnerships, Polaroid today announced a collaboration with sandal company Teva that features “nostalgic” design elements and a Polaroid 600 camera that puts a spotlight on sustainability by using professionally refurbished parts.

[embedded content] What do you think are the two least used, and probably most important, pieces of your photography gear? I’ll give you a hint: you can’t buy them at a camera store.

Sliders and monopods, what do they have in common? Absolutely nothing. Until now… In fact, they’re kind of meant for the opposite things, but the folks over at Moza have a really clever take on this, and they joined the two together. Now, we have the Slypod Pro, a brand-new slider/monopod combo that packs a

I’m not the first on the block to write about the Fujifilm X-E4, but I finally got around to doing it and I’m glad that I did. Full disclosure: Fujifilm North America sent me the Fujifilm X-E4 free of charge along with the new 27mm f/2.8 II, thumb grip, and bottom plate hand grip, so
[embedded content] About a month ago, Vivo announced the international version of their X60 series. This is a flagship-level phone, and while pricing wasn’t known at the time of the shooting, you can find it for $1,099.99 on Amazon. All the press materials boast about the camera capabilities.

Mirrorless, mirrorless, ah the joys of mirrorless. Isn’t it better than DSLRs in every way possible? It may be. But honestly, I couldn’t care less. While that may sound egoistical, the reason I don’t care is that I’m not upgrading to mirrorless anytime soon. I don’t keep up with camera news. While I know that
