New Q&A!

Q&A Series: Photographers Who Do Video With all the modern technology floating around (video on your phone? really?) photographers are forced to be at the forefront of it all in order to stay competitive. Does being on top of new trends mean photographers must now make the leap to video? Many certainly are. With stillContinue reading “New Q&A!”

Food Fight, Gourmet vs. Bon Appetit

Wall Street Journal analyzes the stability of two of Conde Nast’s popular food publications, Gourmet and Bon Appetit. Check out a very interesting comparison between the two publications here and see if you can read between the lines as to which one might outlast McKinsey’s overhaul. See here.

Portfolio Meetings Make Reps Happy

… or at least they make ME happy. I can’t say enough how nice it is to meet people in person rather than the typical phone/email/phone/email virtual runaround. Call me old fashioned, but I like to meet people in person, shake their hands, and see their faces as they look through the photographers’ portfolios. TheContinue reading “Portfolio Meetings Make Reps Happy”

Oh Maggie…

If you haven’t been exposed to Ofer Wolberger or the Life With Maggie project, well then here’s your chance to be wowed by greatness.

Emerging photographers, get your act together!

Hey all you “emerging” photographers, I have a secret for you. Nothing will ever get easier and nothing will happen unless you make it. I know I know, it is SO cheesy and easier said than done, but also very true. The best part? Getting the ball rolling can lead to glorious things. Feeling likeContinue reading “Emerging photographers, get your act together!”

Required Reading: Being an Art Buyer

I highly recommend taking a peek at Heather Morton’s new post on her blog, Heather Morton Art Buyer. Heather provides interesting and extremely valuable insight into her process. Many are quick to vilify an art buyer when the job doesn’t go their way, but it isn’t always as simple (or as personal) a decision orContinue reading “Required Reading: Being an Art Buyer”

Q&A: Role of personal work?

What is the role of a photographer’s personal work? As a photographer, how do you negotiate the two halves of your creative self? Does there have to be a separation between the two? As a buyer, do separate bodies of work confuse things or make an individual more interesting? What if a photographer’s personal andContinue reading “Q&A: Role of personal work?”

NASA deletes history…

This from PDN Pulse: “The next time you erase an important file by mistake, remember it happens to the best of us. NASA, for one. The space agency just acknowledged that it can’t find the original tapes that contained the video transmissions of the Apollo 11 moon landing 40 years ago. “A three-year search forContinue reading “NASA deletes history…”

Andrzej Kramarz

I recently came across this project entitled Rzeczy (Things) by photographer Andrzej Kramarz. I’m interested in a portrait of a person via their belongings. We are at once aware of both the photographer’s viewpoint and that of the collector. Can a person be defined by their own collection of meaningless trinkets? I immediately see theseContinue reading “Andrzej Kramarz”
