There are many different kinds of photographer. There are passionate hobbyists, professionals, amateurs, and smartphone shooters who have only a passing interest in photography. With very few exceptions, all of them are now using artificial intelligence (AI) in some form or another.
The British Institute of Professional Photography (BIPP) has announced the winners of its 2022 Photography Print Competition. These annual awards highlight 15 categories including the organization's Photographer of the Year title.
Capture One has announced Capture One 22, which the company claims brings improved performance, support for the latest cameras, panoramic photo stitching, and HDR merging. The update also opens up the door for more features coming in 2022, such as the company's first cloud and tablet products.
Like chameleons, we photographers change with our environment to survive and thrive. It's inspiring to see the way we have risen to new and ever-evolving challenges in the industry. Yet, photographers are being taken advantage of now more than ever.
Capture one has announced update 14.4 which it says brings new capabilities, updates, and camera and lens support. More than that though, it updates the exporter workflow experience that is based on user feedback.
On July 22, Capture One released a new update (version 14.3.0) that made a fundamental change to how some users were working with the application. It removed the Output Tab and replaced it with the Exporter, which has broken the workflows for many pro photographers and digital technicians.
Nikon Professional Services has added two paid tiers above the complimentary Pro plan that add significant additional benefits for working photographers. Both new tiers include equipment loans, repair discounts, and cleaning services.
While companies like Snappr, Boom, and Pretty Instant seem built to devalue photography by commoditizing it, ViewShaper claims its goal is to do the exact opposite with a system built specifically for pros along with a photographer-focused pricing structure.
Dear Mr. Kim,
I read a blog post of yours titled "Advice to Aspiring Full Time Photographers" reposted on PetaPixel.
It’s filled with lots of exciting tidbits like:
“I think being a full-time photographer is overrated.”
In a bid to both inspire you and advertise themselves a bit, Nikon Europe gathered a group of 5 professional photographers who presented at this year’s Photokina and asked them to share their advice on what it takes to become a professional in the world of photography.
Their insights, as you might imaging, are well worth two minutes of your time.
If the idea hadn't been around for so long, we'd call 'In My Bag' type websites the flavor of the month. First there was InMyBag, which we shared with you at the beginning of last week, and now we have ShotKit, the latest 'in my bag' site turning heads online.
