That’s why many commercial photo shoots include ‘food stylists’ that use tricks and hacks to make the food last longer (e.g., not melt) and appear even more delicious than real life.

The area is well known for storing retired aircraft, where the dry air keeps corrosion away before they are eventually dismantled and scrapped for parts.

At long last, pet portraits with background blur are possible on the iPhone XR

November 9, 2018November 9, 2018 NewsEditorbokeh, halide, iPhone, iPhone Xr, Photography

The new iPhones have some great new photography features, but the XR lacks a couple, for instance portrait mode for non-people subjects, owing to its sadly having only the one camera. So last year! Fortunately third-party camera app Halide is here to help you get that professional-looking bokeh in your doggo shots. There’s more to this than simply the lack of a second camera. As you know, because you read my article, The future of photography is code — and the present too, really. What’s great about this is that…

The first thing you notice about ecologist Arthur Kopelman is his giant white beard. The second is the gold whale charm dangling from his earlobe—a symbol of the creature that has consumed his thoughts for decades. “I don't think I’ve ever seen him without it,” says Joe Carrotta, a photographer who documented Kopelman's whale-watching cruises up and down the New York coast last summer. The boat rides allow Kopelman to collect data for the Coastal Research and Education Society of Long Island—an organization he co-founded in 1996—while also educating passengers…

We’ve all become so blind to the beauty around us that you have to retrain your brain to see things in a new way. This was one of my biggest fears when I first started. I thought I had to have the best locations to have full control over the environment I would be shooting in. That’s when I discovered that almost any location can be a good location, you just have to learn how to see it. Martin, expensive gear isn’t necessary. If you have a cheaper ‘slower’ telephoto…
