You just bought a camera. Maybe it is a Canon EOS R50, maybe a Nikon Z50 II, maybe a Sony a6400 you found on sale, maybe a Fujifilm X-T50 that took three months on a waitlist.

There's a sentence that keeps coming back in photography circles: street photography is dead. 

Most people say it with nostalgia. Some say it with frustration. A few say it like a provocation.

They're all wrong. And right.

Street photography isn't dead because people stopped doing it. It's "dead" because everyone started.

 The Real Problem Isn’t Death. It’s Saturation.

We are producing more images today than at any other point in history. Every street corner, every passing gesture, every accidental juxtaposition: it's all being photographed, constantly.

Shooting model portraits well has less to do with gear than most people assume, and everything to do with understanding light and how to pose a subject. Whether you're working with a phone by a window or a pair of strobes in a studio, the gap between a flat, forgettable shot and one that actually stops someone mid-scroll comes down to a handful of decisions you make before you ever press the shutter.

The Viltrox 35mm f/1.2 is already a well-regarded fast prime, but Viltrox has now released a revised version called the AF 35mm f/1.2 STF N, dropping the LED display and swapping the old control ring for a proper aperture ring. If you shoot Sony E-mount and have been watching this lens, the changes are worth understanding before you spend $999.

I had a fantastic time in New Zealand and recorded most of the trip using the Moondog Lab Anamorphic lens for iPhone.
A really interesting little lens that gives you a cinemascope point of view and makes everything feels more cinematic.
A cool introduction to anamorphic lenses before I start to use real ones in the next videos.

Mysteries in sand

By: Lior Kestenberg

Originally published on Mar 4, 2019

On the shores of the Andaman islands, a mysterious creature creates beautiful patterns in the sand. Who is it and why does it do so? This is a short film I made about the peculiar Sand bubbler crab. It was shot over a month on Havelock island using mainly Sony A6500 and a Canon 6D.
