WM-565: The History of Digital Photography |...

Photography Clips ·

2026/02/27

Digital photography, as we know it, has only been around for about two decades. In truth, however, its origins go much deeper than that. The 1990s saw the first commercially available digital cameras, but the technology that we so often take for granted – with its unlimited storage space, live view displays, and other conveniences – actually first came into being during the 1950s. It all started with the first videotape recorders that were developed in 1952. These were the first devices to use

2026/02/25

When working with color photographs, it's easy to simply choose a dominant color or a color cast without thinking too much about why certain colors work and how they affect our perception of an image. However, when used skillfully, color can transform a dull image into something more dynamic. Color doesn't just set the mood. It creates a visually attractive image or makes certain elements within the image stand out more than others. Instead, when the right shades are chosen, a great color photograph

WM-563: 7 Reasons to Experiment with Film Photography...

2026/02/23

In this day and age, digital photography is by far more popular than film. I must admit that I prefer digital photography for most of my work, too. However, that doesn't mean that film is without its advantages. I believe that every photographer should try film at least once. Here are the reasons why!

WM-562: Must Photos Always Be Rectangular? |...

Photography Clips ·

2026/02/20

When you look around at photography, whether it is printed or digital, your work or someone else's, you'll see that most prints are one of the common standard sizes or aspect ratios, and nearly all of them are rectangular, either horizontal or vertical. Those certainly aren't shapes that we are limited to, so why is it that prints nearly always come in these sizes? Let's examine some of the reasons, starting with a brief lesson on how some of the most common print sizes or aspect ratios came to

2026/02/18

As a photographer, you'll never stop learning. However, finding new places or people to learn from is sometimes challenging. That is doubly true if you're unsure where to find quality photographs. The Internet is filled with websites and galleries open to everyone – Flickr.com is one example. Because anyone can post images, you'll soon find it difficult to sift the snapshots and amateur images from the works of art. So, where do you turn to advance your knowledge of fine art photography? I'll show

WM-560: What is the Next Revolution? | Photography...

Photography Clips ·

2026/02/16

Last time, I talked about the idea that another revolution in photography is coming. This thought is based on my observations across the history of photography. Every few decades—sometimes sooner—some new thing comes out that completely revolutionizes the way we do things—everything from 35mm cameras to color film to the advent of digital photography. There's no doubt we've seen a lot of these shakeups, and that's why I think we're due for another... So what will it be? Podcast Notes:

WM-559: When is the Next Revolution? | Photography...

Photography Clips ·

2026/02/11

Photography is due for another revolution—and most likely, sooner rather than later. In fact, it may already be underway, and we don't quite see it yet. Why do I think that a revolution is coming? Well, the short answer is because history repeats itself. You see, if you look back over history, photography has gone through several very definitive growth stages. The first camera obscuras were made millennia ago, with the earliest historical mention of them dating to China around 500 BC. Leonardo da

WM-558: When Science Becomes Art | Photography Clips...

Photography Clips ·

2026/02/09

In the beginning, photography was very scientific. Photographers and scientists came together, experimenting with light and chemistry in ways never before imagined. However, over time, creative thinkers adopted this new method of capturing light and turned it into one of history's greatest artistic media. There is no one photographer who is directly responsible for taking this science and turning it into an art form. There are, however, a few historical photographers whose work embodies the way

WM-557: The Beauty of Abstract Photography |...

Photography Clips ·

2026/02/06

How does one define the abstract? That's a question that artists have struggled with for centuries. In its purest form, an abstract photograph's subject is often unrecognizable. The beauty derives not from the subject itself, but from its shapes, textures or colors. The work of Henry Holmes Smith is a great example of this – many of his images are mysterious studies in light. Others – like this image on the right – focus purely on lines, shapes, and patterns rather than portraying a subject as a

WM-556: Portraying Raw Emotion in Photography: A...

Photography Clips ·

2026/02/04

Helen Levitt is one of my favorite street photographers. As a pioneer in photography, she had a natural propensity for capturing the essence of her subjects. Wonder, grace, joy, anguish, hope, and love are inscribed on the faces of her subjects, as clearly as if penned on paper. This raw emotion is the inspiration that transforms a photograph from a mere snapshot to a work of art, and this is the lesson that every photographer should take from Levitt... Podcast Notes:

WM-555: Differences in Photographic and Public...

Photography Clips ·

2026/02/02

Why is it that we are driven to create art? Of course, there are hundreds, thousands, probably millions of reasons to create art – anything from personal motivations to causes that the artist supports or statements that need to be made. But there is one broad umbrella that most, if not all art falls under, I think. At its heart, art is made so that it can be enjoyed by others. Now, there is a problem with that, the enjoyment of others. And that problem is that we don't always make that connection

WM-554: Is Structure Necessary for Creativity? |...

Photography Clips ·

2026/01/29

When you think of creativity, it feels like it should be something random and spontaneous, something that is born out of a moment's inspiration. And, there are times when random creativity leads to groundbreaking art. I would argue, however, that the majority of creativity comes not from spontaneity, but from structure. You see, a lack of structure leads to things like uncertainty, wasted time and other issues that are detrimental to productivity. Here's a brief list of the problems and questions

2026/01/27

In the world of early American photography, few names carry the elegance and influence of Gertrude Käsebier (1852–1934). She is often hailed as one of the first American photographers to elevate portraiture to an art form. Her best-known works, particularly images of mothers and children, embody a tenderness and depth that was revolutionary for her time. Through her lens, she captured the emotional bond between her subjects with unique sensitivity, helping to pave the way for what would later be

2026/01/24

Photography has this rare ability to tell a story, to let us glimpse into worlds we might otherwise never see. And few photographers did that quite like Lewis W. Hine. For anyone who loves photography, Hine's work is a testament to how powerful an image can be. He wasn't just taking pictures; he was documenting history, sparking reform, and, most importantly, giving a voice to people who were often invisible in society. His images of immigrants, child laborers, and industrial workers helped change

2026/01/21

When it comes to learning more about photography, the common wisdom is not only to take more photographs but also to read about photography, to take photography classes and workshops, and to speak with other photographers. And all of these things are great ways to learn—necessary, in fact. But there's a whole other world of art out there, some art forms far older than photography, and they each have their own wealth of knowledge that we can draw from to build our own skills. So let's take a look at

Photography can fill every corner of your life if you let it. Even when you are not shooting, you are thinking about shooting. You are noticing light in a window, framing scenes in your head, planning locations, sorting gear, editing, posting, and taking in other people's work. If photography is more than a casual hobby for you, it has a way of quietly becoming part of how you move through the day. For some people, it is also a job, which adds deadlines, client expectations, and the pressure to keep

I have been noticing something more and more, and I do not think it is just me. People who once cared a lot about photography are walking away from it. Not just beginners who bought a camera, tried it for a month, and got bored. I mean, people who used to go out on purpose to shoot. People who used to talk about photos, plan trips around photos, and spend real time learning and improving. Now the camera sits. The bag stays closed. Months go by, and they do not miss it the way they thought they

My brain does this thing where photography and sound keep borrowing ideas from each other. I will be setting up a shot, thinking about light and shadow, and suddenly I am thinking about microphones. Or I will be setting up a mic, and I start thinking about lenses. Both are about choosing what you want and choosing what you do not want. With a camera, you make decisions that shape what the viewer sees. You pick a lens. You choose an angle. You decide what is sharp and what is soft. You decide what

2026/01/07

When we look at old photographs, we tend to expect them to be in black and white. We expect the past to feel distant, muted, and quiet, as if history were always supposed to be sepia-toned and far away. Sergei Prokudin-Gorsky did not accept that. He wanted people to see the world as it actually looked. Not in our time, but in his. Not as a ghost of history, but as something alive with color...

2026/01/05

Photography looks ordinary now. A phone comes out, a tap happens, and an image appears. That ease can make photography seem like a simple act of collecting proof that something took place. Yet the real power of photography has never been about evidence alone. It has always been about attention, time, and meaning. A photograph can be a record, but it can also be a decision about what deserves to be noticed. It can be a way of saying, "This mattered to me," even when the subject is small, quiet, or
