If you’re looking for a camera that’s affordable and has the retro-image quality vibes of the early digital cameras, then this is it. The Camp Snap Photo Camera was designed for parents to buy for their kids. When we reviewed it, we noted that it has a bit of a vintage look. Now, we’re giving …
Here’s a little-known fact: the warranty of your camera or lens doesn’t necessarily cover what happens to it in case of dust, inclement weather, etc. That’s why we created the Photography Care Program, in collaboration with Full Frame Insurance. Dust affects your camera and lens performance more than you think, and unless you’re constantly cleaning the …
One of the most popular genres of photography, for people wanting to start out in the craft, is portrait photography. More often than not, people new to the field want to take better pictures of human subjects. Friends, family, strangers even. While I’d often recommend a nifty 50 as a first choice for this, there’s no denying that an 85mm or longer would give a much more flattering facial perspective. And for those of you thinking of getting a lens exclusively for portraits this year, we have some recommendations that won’t cost you an arm or a leg.
“I’m not scared about AI in general because my approach in art is very different,” says photographer Pat Domingo to the Phoblographer in an interview. “I rely on human interaction and that is also, I think, a part of my success in my career. AI is in general an option to do art and should be categorized for themselves.” Pat thinks that at the end of the day, photography will still be photography. But more importantly, when Pat really flexes his creative muscles, they’d make Arnie in his hey-day look like he didn’t do enough steroids. Pat has absolutely made images we don’t think folks would ever necessarily make using prompts — and we love that about his work.
While photography is one of the best things to do on your own —or together, as it may—, sometimes we lack the energy to deal with what it entails; going out, braving the weather, interacting with models, setting up interesting scenes in the comfort of our homes, et cetera. Or you could be about to engage and just noticed your camera batteries were empty. So here at The Phoblographer, we thought that maybe, just maybe, you could dive into this intersection made of our love for photography, our devotion to the written word, and our penchant for (bad) puns. Give us some slack and enjoy, this is the first of our crossword puzzles for photographers.
You really only need one more lens; but who are you kidding. There are really three more lenses, right?
This title is one that I truly never thought I’d type: but Curator Catherine Futter and the Brooklyn Museum have done what many might deem impossible. They’ve taken the work of someone not considered a traditional photographer and given it the specular highlights it needs to shine. If Paul’s photography were the sun, you wouldn’t mind going blind staring at it. The images are a testament to the pillar of documentary photography that advocates for people skills, access, and being emotionally in tune with what’s around you.

It’s been said to the public so many times that the future of Fujifilm’s cameras are with the GFX lineup. And that’s pretty evident, considering their lens lineup. If you’re a documentary-type photographer or need to work on locations a lot, their cameras are incredible. Pixel for pixel, their sensors deliver the goods. But what’s …
I’ve spoken about it before in harsher words, saying that the end of APS-C and Micro Four Thirds is coming. And as I stated in that article. We saw it coming a while ago, too, and the same rings true. Real innovation isn’t coming to your APS-C or Micro Four Thirds camera. They will become sensors that shift into phones and luxury-style compact cameras. I fully embrace the latter. But it’s time to move up to full-frame cameras for more serious work to be a photographer over being a content creator. Professional photographers have known this for years. In the end, it’s the photographer who makes the images — but you should ask yourself if you’re good enough to make images with any camera that’s put into your hands. Returning to my original idea, the limitations of smaller sensors are becoming too great these days.
