Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act & Orphan Works
The government in its infinite wisdom have recently applied for and receive royal assent for the "Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act" which amongst other things has a couple of items that have a significant impact for photographers. The first is related to large rights collecting organisations e.g. the copyright equivalent to the PRS society. These may have an impact but for this article we'll be skipping past them. The more
Catherine Sales
Can you tell me a little about your education, childhood passions, early exposure to photography and vocation? I have always enjoyed photography especially at a young age on holiday using my compact camera to take photos of anything that inspired me. It never occurred to me that I could have it as a career until much later on. I have always been passionate about art, mostly drawing and painting and more

Johsel Namkung – A Retrospective

April 11 – September 8 2013 The early morning media preview of Sebastião Salgado’s new exhibition. Genesis was well underway.

Andrew Gilbert Fine Art Gallery
Whilst on our pilgrimage to Devon last month Andrew Nadolski and I spent a wonderful evening with a bunch of photographers in an Exeter place of beer worship. One of the landscape photographers there, Andrew Gilbert, told us about the gallery that he had opened up nearby and we thought what a great idea it would be to visit and have a chat about how it was to open a gallery and a little but about his photography. more
H3D39 vs D800 Quality
The world of medium format digital cameras systems is one that is typically associated with either very hard working professionals or well heeled amateurs (or well heeled lazy professionals I suppose). more

OK so we’ve looked at the Hasselblad from just an image viewpoint but what else should we be thinking? Well in my opinion there are a few extra aspects of the Hasselblad system that are worth bearing in mind. The first is that, like any system, when you make a choice you are also buying into a range of lenses and with Hasselblad that range is particularly more

New MFD systems as we will call them are more expensive than a good car and depreciate at an even greater rate! more
Fuji GSW690III Medium Format Camera
Over the 25 years or so that I've been interested in landscape photography, I've used and experimented with many different types and formats of cameras. In the 'film only days' I used 35mm,120 medium format in 6x4.5, 6x6, 6x7 and 6x9, and I've used large format. Of course each has it advantages and disadvantages; all of them do some things well, and some things either not more
