Photography News that's Fit to Blog (This Week)
by Kerry Raminiak
Greetings from ExpressDigital. Thanks for taking a look. We enjoy producing these weekly news round ups and appreciate your interest.
So without further ado, here’s the scoop:
PDN has a nice article about the World Press Photo Winning entry.
The black-and-white image is of a police officer going through a home with his gun drawn. The impact comes from where the image was taken: An eviction situation as a result of a mortgage foreclosure. It is very powerful as it resembles a war scene and illustrates the skill of the photographer, Anthony Suau. Click here to see it and read the input from the award committee chair.
If you are looking for ligher fare...
GeekStir has claimed they have found Carmen Sandiego with photographic evidence.
While also scanning PDN news, there is a feature an article on aerial photography. Which reminds us that a friend of ExpressDigital has recently announced that they are offering aerial photography with the use of balloons. Photos In a Minute is utilizing balloons and DARKROOM Pro Edition’s wireless capturing function to take shots from the sky. This Lawrence, MA company has a website where you can click “Aerial Ballon” to see the balloon itself and how they are marketing their newest photo service. They also have a nice newsletter that warms our hearts when we get it as they also do a lot of local philanthropy and feature those photos.
Here is an interview with Richmond Professional Lab. As mentioned last week, our blog post recapped industry related statistics of this year-to-date. In the interview we ask Richmond Professional Labs to give us their thoughts, from a busy lab’s perspective, on these trends and to give us the scoop on what is real and what is simply strange these days.
USAToday has a feature article on cutbacks this wedding season.
The article features high-ticket weddings that are now a bit more budget-minded. Needless to say, everyone is cutting back on everything: Lee knows of wedding photographers who used to charge $20,000 but now are discounting their fees by nearly 50%, "just to get some jobs." The noted averages discussed for photography was $2,655 and is now $775. Gulp.
ExpressDigital has been asked by Our365 to partner in improving the newborn portrait experience. It’s official, the largest in-hospital newborn portrait photography provider is utilizing DARKROOM and PhotoReflect technologies to make it a better experience for moms while offering more products and online capabilities. Read about it in Cameratown.com. More news on this topic to come when it becomes available.
PhotoReflect announces new, free webinars, to get new and current users started with the FREE ONLINE PHOTOGRAPHY STOREFRONT solution.
And for Advanced Users (although all are welcome):
(Keep in mind that newsletter subscribers get first crack to sign up for all training sessions so if you’re not in the loop, you may want to. Here’s a link where you can learn more and sign up.)
Also, there is a “doing greenscreen with DARKROOM Pro edition” class/session at Desktop Darkroom’s annual symposium in Jacksonville, July 28 and 29, 2009.
