Photography is so vast that it challenges our perception of time. If you look at an image, and were to guess which year it was shot, you may give the wrong answer. This is not only due to the number of images created every year, but also how we judge an image based on its contents, colors, or grains.
Over a decade ago, I was teaching Wordpress and Tumblr to photographers at the B&H Photo event space. "What do I do if people want to steal my images?" someone asked me. To that statement, I retorted something that others had told me before you first have to create images that someone will want to steal.
As the US's largest photo retailer, B&H Photo has been in the news many times for issues around discrimination. We've often been the only photography website to report on it as many others are often in the company's pockets.
Amazon Prime has been accused of using an AI-generated background picture for its newly acquired Grand Prix documentary.

Like any walk of life, the photo industry has its own code words and language. There's nothing wrong with that. It makes communication more fun and interesting. But let's be honest, some of the phrases can be slightly cringy and cheesy.
I don’t think I’m ever going to go back to the toxicity that’s Instagram. Back in March of 2020, I made a pledge to leave Instagram for a year. The platform can be incredibly toxic on many levels.
Sadly, dealing with internet trolls is part and parcel of being a photographer in the digital age. People don’t care about the impact of their words. The internet has given everyone an outlet to air their grievances with the world, without taking a second to think about how they will impact other people.
Just how much attention do you pay to the sample images from new cameras that are posted during reviews on blogs and in YouTube videos? A big part of any camera review will always be the sample images, but a recent post from a Redditor has us wondering if we have reached a point of sensors, and image quality being a moot point. Let's talk about this after the break.
Starting out in photography can be incredibly challenging, and for most people, it is incredibly overwhelming. Once you get past the headache of picking out your first camera and then your first lens, you have to deal with learning about composition, the exposure triangle, editing, and so much more.

We photographers have our own jokes and brand of humor which either brighten up our day or give us a bit of motivation. If you're in need of some photography humor today, we're sure you'll definitely get this.
You're out on a shoot, you accidentally touch the front element of your lens so you take a closer look. You see that there's dust and some small, weird dead bug on there too; what do you do? The one action many of us would probably take is wiping the glass with the T-shirt or clothing we're wearing.
It's time once more for us to share with you all our recent finds on Reddit. This time, we have a meme that accurately describes one of the most toxic behaviors on Instagram: We're sure a lot of you have fallen victim to this nefarious act, so have a laugh before scouring your account for people who have done this and unfollow them as well.
Dad jokes are everywhere, and if you think you can escape it in the photography world, you're sorely mistaken. Today, we bring some brilliant (or face palm-worthy) bits of humor that are peppered with puns and some sprinkling of wit here and there.

For the sky-high prices they often come at, their durability, and the quality of the images they produce, Leica cameras are among the most coveted gear among photographers. They’re usually treated with care that’s borderline reverence and devotion – which is why we, and we guess many of you guys as well, were shocked when we stumbled upon the picture of this Leica camera that’s burned so bad it’s barely recognizable now.

About 4 months ago, I posted a photo of my 7-hexagon canvas cluster to Reddit’s r/space (on a Sunday, the only day you’re allowed to post your own astro photos to the sub). The title of the post was: “I’m a photographer and print-maker and my passion is the night sky. I made this 7-hexagon […]
Are you among the eagle-eyed film photographers who have noticed Ilford's new film box design? If you haven't seen the change yet, we got the details for you. Don't worry, the new packaging isn't much different from the clean and easily identifiable design we all know and love.
Inspiration and ideas for creative projects sometimes don't come easy, even for the most prolific photographers of today. This is most likely why many of us find it helpful to look at what the master photographers then and now have done.
