These 5 cool tips from photographer Jimmy McIntyre will help you create stunning cityscapes.

I see a lot of business that take inner-office shots, or head shots of staff as their inside the business pictures. What about outside the business? What about the city or parks around you?

Often, those are the best places to get a good look or feel for where you are located as a business. We recently did a shoot of staff in a nearby park, and in and around an old caboose that was in an alleyway nearby. Signature shots, perfect for a business expose.

France passes law that says Photoshopped images must have a disclaimer | David Airey

I wonder how widespread this will become. Marking photos and edited in post is going to be a huge qualifier. Almost all professional or studio images are produced or edited in post, it’s a question of how or how much, incl color palette, blemish removal, contrast increases or decreases, etc. Putting a digital filter on your images is as prevalent as putting a lens on your camera.

Inge Morath’s Venice – Magnum Photos

, , , , , , , ,

In this long-unpublished essay, the photographer reflects on the allure of the city, its hidden gardens and waterways, and the role it played in sparking her photographic career.

In particular the latter text explores the pivotal role the city played in her first taking up photography, in 1951, and her exploration of its myriad canals, bridges, and private gardens in 1955 while on an assignment for L’Oeil. This text was, until the book’s release, never before published.

Here we reproduce Morath’s musings on the city – its allure, mystery, and perhaps above all its pivotal place in catalyzing her love of photography, propelling her from enthusiast to practitioner.  The text is accompanied by  a selection of her photographs of the famed city made during that 1955 assignment, only a few years after her      first, life-changing first visit.

Take a second look at these trick optical illusion pictures.

Always be learning.Some of these look like simple, or not so simple masking techniques. It’s amazing what a well placed layer or mask can do to open up an image. Though provoking images can make an indelible impression on the viewer.

It’s good to think through that, and see if there isn’t some intentional effect you can leave with your product or brand.
