Most of us had jobs as teenagers to make a bit of extra pocket money. Paper rounds and stacking shelves were the usual, but one 13-year-old has been making headlines for the past year, as he netted over $7,000 working as a drone photographer.
As we have learned from many a celebrity faux pas, nobody is immune from a Photoshop fail. The latest victim is none other than Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison, whose official website published an image showing him with two left feet. He’s now responded after becoming the subject of ridicule online.
A video recorded of a photographer shows him using the stock of a gun while taking pictures of birds. Using tape to mount the camera, it helps him stay agile when using heavy equipment.
The clip, shot in Asia, shows his camera mounted to a rifle-like stock. The footage was posted by a user named OctopussSevenTwo on media-sharing site Imgur.

“Award-winning photographer.” Now, more than ever, I see the term popping up in a biography. But I wondered, does it hold any merit in 2018? With so many claiming to have received awards — most of which I’ve never heard of — it’s become a pet peeve of mine. Has the prestige of winning a photography award been diminished?
A day job that involves being paid to climb and photograph mountains sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it? Alas, that’s exactly what Meghan Young does,making anywhere between $50,000 and $100,000 per year from sponsored social media posts and photo licensing.
As far as perks of being a photographer go, traveling the world and documenting everything you see along the way is right up there with the best of them.

I didn't study photography in any official capacity — not unless you count a quick Google whenever there’s a term I don’t understand. So naturally, I'm biased in the argument about whether studying photography is worth it. But in my opinion, the most valuable asset to a photographer is something that cannot be searched on the internet, nor can it be taught.
What do you think to these portraits? Well lit, high quality, quite professional? What about if we told you they’re not photographs at all, that these people do not exist, and that the images are generated entirely by artificial intelligence?
A Florida-based photographer is trying to track down a couple whose engagement, unbeknown to them, she captured – eight years ago.
The proposal happened outside a church in Palm Beach. Joy Groover was out at the courtyard of Bethesda by the Sea with her family when, during a toilet break, the couple caught her eye.
Speaking to WBPF, she recalled:
Two photos are making the rounds on the internet: side by side, they illustrate how easy it is for documentary photographers to manipulate the severity of a situation. From the Paris riots, one image shows what looks like a large fire, while the other, a wider shot, reveals the size of the fire pales in comparison to what viewers had been led to believe.
Pop singer Taylor Swift enlisted facial recognition technology at one of her gigs this year in order to detect if any of her stalkers were in attendance.
