Faye Sampson is a photographer based in the UK and has made this really great Behind the Scenes video of her shoot for the magazine Magnetize.
As today is the 100th aniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, I thought it would be appropriate to share some really cool images of life aboard the famous ocean liner. These were all taken by Father Francis Brown and give us a glimpse of some of the day to day activities on board Titanic.
This is a really interesting behind the scenes video of the shoot for the music video for “What I Like” by Blake. The Olympus camera highlighted in the video was used at some crazy frame rates, from 100 to 400fps.
This is a really interesting interview with Photographer Steven Klein, talking about his work, especially his then recent work with Madonna.
So this video is mostly just absurdly attractive people having their pictures taken, but this video really gives you a great idea as to how big the scale of these productions are. They also seem to be using a lot of natural light for these shoots, which is kind of amazing.
Ok, so not technically WiFi, but the series of images in this video were shot using a specially designed pole with 80 bulbs that turned off and on depending on the signal strength of the WiFi in the area. It’s a really interesting concept which is the result of a collaboration between Touch, a research project that investigates Near Field Communications and a London design company called Berg.
Well, It seems like the video doesn’t allow embedding so everybody check it out HERE
This is a great behind the scenes video from Timothy White as he does the promotional photography for Cowboys and Aliens. I’ll warn you, there’s not much about the technical side of photography, a lot of these shots are done with natural light, but you can see most of his lighting set ups when he does use lights, and he talks at length about environmental portraiture and creating a dramatic image.
The people over at FLAVORWIRE recently posted a great article about some really strange cameras that people have dreamed up. It’s some pretty crazy stuff.
This is how you photograph a disaster torn area. The (possibly) staged pictures children’s toys in rubble do wonders to sell magazines, but when it comes to getting a sense of the actual people who are affected by the disaster, this is how it should be done.
As a fan of vintage gear, both photographic and otherwise, this is really cool to me. Drew Gardner recently interviewed Yat Lee, a photographer in Hong Kong, who instead of pairing his incredibly expensive camera with an equally awesome lens, chose to take another route.
Annie Liebovitz is probably the world’s best known photographer, and in this video she’s working on an assignment for Vanity Fair magazine with Matthew Broderick and Kelli O’Hara for the magazine’s April issue.
This is a pretty cool time lapse of the production of the Wade Brothers shoot “House Of Fly 53″. It’s a pretty interesting concept that incorporates both a 10 minute video and a series of images used for print and web advertising. The incredible part of all of this was that both the video and stills were shot at exactly the same time, which saved production and talent costs.
In this video , Ryan Schude walks us through his incredibly complex image “The Diner”. This is an incredibly complex scene which was shot at an old diner in LA and was lit entirely as one scene.
Earlier today we posted a great behind the scenes video from Erik Almas that dealt mainly with shooting the elements for a composite, this video however takes you from the point where he finishes shooting, to the completion of the final image.
