The great thing about creatives -- be they photographers, filmmakers or, in this case, an art director who does a bit of both -- is that they can capture even the most mundane of things in a dramatic and compelling manner. Case in point: art director Castor recently had to sell his crappy old 93' Volvo 245GL.

When it comes to the world of photography lighting education, one name that comes up more than most is Strobist.

Puerto Rican and Italian photographer Benedict Fernandez' images from the 1960s are incredible... but you've probably never seen them before. Until recently, many of his powerful photographs remained tucked away in his archive.
Fortunately, that is all changing this month thanks to an exhibition at the Bronx Documentary Center.

We’re all aware that photographing motor sports can be a dangerous task. Whether it’s on an oval track, a road course, or along country ravines, there’s always an inherent risk when a comparatively fragile human is photographing thousands of pounds of metal, carbon fiber, plastic and glass traveling at speeds far above what many of us have ever driven.
But as the above video goes to show, it's not always the vehicle itself you have to worry about... the pieces that occasionally come off the vehicle can be just as dangerous.
If you’re looking for an interesting way to spice up your experimental photography a bit, …
Modern Motorcycle Diaries' Alex Chacon has spent 600 days on the road, travelled over 200,000Km (almost 125,000 miles) and been to some 36 different countries... and just in case those words don't inspire sufficient wanderlust, he's rubbing it in your face with an amazing video 'selfie.'
We heard how dangerous it could get outdoors with all of the traffic-crossings, pollen, UV rays and so on, and so we decided to stay inside and paint our walls with a live stream of the outside world...
This week marks the 60th anniversary since Leica introduced the now-iconic M3, a camera many consider to be the best Leica ever produced and still the most successful M-Series camera ever made at over 220,000 units sold by the time production ended in 1966.
And so, to pay homage to this titan of photographic history, DigitalRev decided to give the M3 a proper video and take it out onto the streets of Hong Kong for a good old hands-on review.
As the reader who send this video in to us said, "Buzzfeed isn't the normal source of photo interest stories." Case in point, the top photo-related article on BuzzFeed's home page as of this writing is, "19 Celebrity Prom Photos That Are Actually Super Adorable."
The video above, however, is a wonderful breath-of-fresh-air exception to the BuzzFeed rule.

Photoshop is a program of many talents; however, there are three tools that you probably haven't used much for some time now. As some of the first features to find their way into Photoshop, the Dodge, Burn and Sharpen tools have quickly become dismissed as blunt tools of the past.
When it comes to portraits, one of the most important factors is capturing an authentic expression -- a real smile. Unfortunately, a genuine smile can be hard to come by during a structured photo shoot. With gear around and pressure on the subject, a fake smile is much more likely, and not at all what you're looking for.
When it comes to the type of glass used in still photography, versus the glass used in motion picture, there’s quite a dramatic difference in design, quality and price. Quite often, it's the last of those differences that is the most inhibiting for photogs who want to dabble around in motion picture.
To help ease that transition, Caleb Pike of DSLR Video Shooter has broken down a way in which you can convert still photography lenses into psuedo-cine lenses at minimal cost.
Brazilian stock photo agency Diomedia recently found themselves in need of a creative advertising campaign. They were debuting a National Geographic Collection, and they needed to share this news in a way that would resonate with today's culture.

The incredibly comprehensive (and occasionally inspirational) Pantone Color Guide made its debut in 1963, but 271 years before Pantone began mixing 11 colors to match thousands of others, a Dutch author was busy mixing watercolors and creating a fascinating 700+ page guide entirely by hand.
French photographer Francois Dourlen gets creative using nothing more than his surroundings and an iPhone, but he's not an iPhoneographer.

What do superheroes do when they're not busy fighting bad guys and saving the world from destruction? Perhaps they're drawing strength alone in the peace and quiet of the great outdoors. That's the premise of French photographer Benoit Lapray's photo-manipulation series "The Quest for the Absolute."
There’s no doubt that stock photography and the market’s methods of operation are much debated and often criticized.

In honor of Mother’s Day, CBS aired this short feature on her and her work.
Back in October 2013, we featured the work of Fernando Pereira Gomes, an artist who creates street photographs in the virtual video game world of GTA V.

If you want a lens that most or all photographers don't have, one way is to retro fit a vintage lens with a new mount. That's what Washington DC freelance photographer J. David Buerk did with a lens he found on an old Lubitel 2 twin-lens reflex camera, and the results are quite nice.

While small in the realm of things, one of the most unique features of Google Glass is it’s ability to snap photos with nothing more than a vocal command. It’s an intuitive way to take a photo hands-free, and taking inspiration from the idea is a new application for iOS called VoiceSnap.
Long exposure photographs are usually measured in seconds or minutes. Use solargraphy, and you might measure in months or years. The longest we've heard of so far are photos spanning decades.
Well, those exposure times are relatively short compared to Jonathon Keats's "century cameras": they're specially designed cameras that will take 100-year-long exposures!
In a world in which almost all of our mobile photos are passed through a filter of some sort before being shared, we’ve become accustomed to the aesthetic that such filters produce. However, since these alterations are all done in post, they don't really reflect how our eyes capture the world around us... until now.
Here's a basic tip that some of you may have overlooked in your DSLR's owner manual: did you know that you can use your TV's remote when reviewing photos on it from your DSLR? It feels much better than holding your connected DSLR in your hands, and as long as you have a compatible TV and DSLR, the process is a breeze.
As Instagram goes to show, people love to give their mobile photos that extra bit of pop, to make them stand out from the rest and give them an aesthetic true to photography past. To do so, they rely on various applications, most notably VSCO Cam, which claims to be the “standard” among mobile photography applications. However, as of today, there’s a new contender: Litely.
Soft-release buttons help you capture photos with less shake blur by reducing the amount of pressure it takes to trigger the shutter. Unfortunately, most of them are designed for cameras that have threaded shutter buttons (for plugging in shutter release cables).
What do Polaroids and Hot Pockets have in common? 99.9% of the time nothing. But, thanks to Berlin-based fashion and portrait photographer, Oliver Blohm, there’s that .1% remaining.

You might think you have a fast lens if it tops f/1.2 or f/1.0, but that's nothing compared to the De Oude Delft 50mm f/0.75. It's one of the fastest lenses in the world, and -- compared to other super speedy lenses -- isn't that expensive.
