Always read your contracts!

"While the second agreement was more fair to the photographer, it’s notable that Condé Nast tried to get the photographer to sign an unfair agreement in the first place and only offered the photographer a more equitable agreement when they stood up for their rights."

A collection of fascinating articles on photography

There’s an inherent mystery to the art of photography. We often think of artists as controlling their materials directly: using their hands, they shape stone, trace ink, or apply paint. But photographers seem to work in a more oblique and indirect way, by capturing, staging, or framing reality. In the best photographs, real life merges with the world of art.

How is that magic accomplished? This week, we take you behind the lens with a collection of pieces about the art and craft of photography. There are profiles of Diane Arbus, Richard Avedon, Nan Goldin, Robert Mapplethorpe, Cindy Sherman, and Edward Steichen. Susan Sontag writes on how photography shapes our view of war; Janet Malcolm explores the question of how “realistic” a photograph can (or should) be. We hope you enjoy these glimpses of the photographer’s quest to, as Malcolm puts it, uncover a “work of art in the mess and flux of life.”

Film News: FujiFilm Discontinuations

Sad news over the weekend from FujiFilm as they have made another announcement on their Japanese website. As we all know, these announcements are almost never good news. Unfortunately this one is no different, as FujiFilm have this time cut several multipacks and some sheet film from their already stripped range.

Fujifilm wycofuje ze sprzedaży kolejne filmy

Photo by Fotopolis

Życie osób fotografujących analogami nie należy do łatwych. Średnio kilka razy do roku słyszymy o wycofywaniu z produkcji różnych materiałów światłoczułych. Teraz, kolejne filmy ze swojej oferty wycofuje Fujifilm.

Fujifilm z pewnością nie cieszy się ostatnio popularnością wśród osób zainteresowanych fotografią analogową. Wszyscy dobrze pamiętamy jeszcze sprawę z wiosny tego roku, gdy firma postanowiła zaprzestać produkcji ostatniego materiału natychmiastowego typu peel-apart na rynku - FP-100c. Mimo petycji i usilnych starań o uratowanie filmu, przedstawiciele Fujifilm pozostali nieugięci. W ostatni weekend z Japonii napłynęły kolejne smutne wieści.
