When I packed for the BlogHer '08 conference in San Francisco, I decided to bring along both my Olympus Stylus 790 SW and my Panasonic Lumix FZ20.

[Cross-posted] It’s not that we haven’t kept up with the row over the Miley Cyrus photographs taken by Annie Leibovitz for Vanity Fair, which sexualize the teenage star, but I have to draw the line somewhere when it comes to news coverage. There are quarters in fashion publishing which would deem these photographs appropriate and artistic, just as Leibovitz claimed, and we ourselves have featured teens in and even on the cover of Lucire, looking probably older than they really are. But if a subject comes to me and tells me that she is embarrassed by a series of photographs, and for a cover decision she may well be in the know, then that’s good enough reason for me to have a meeting or a big office poll about it. And that’s just what Cyrus, star

Bert Stern, Marilyn MonroeHow to judge the authenticity of photographs? This is an important question for buyers of photographs at auction houses and galleries. David Rudd Cycleback is an art historian specializing in the issues of authenticity and has published an Online Guide as well as the book Judging the Authenticity of Photographs which is much more detailed. Cycleback explains the concepts of original prints, vintage prints, printed later, etc. and how to identify the different types of prints like albumen, chromogentic or gelatin silver prints. So the reader gets some basic information about the imaging processes and the history of photography. It's very important to use a microscope of 30X to 100X power to examine a photograph. Cycleback presents some examples e.g. how to identify
Gustave Le Gray, Self-Portrait, 1854Galerie Daniel Blau, Munich, Germany, exhibits at this year’s AIPAD Photography Show photographs from the 1850’s. With the public introduction of Photography in 1839 the illustration of works of art became one of the main interests of photographers. Our collection shows in beautiful examples by Le Gray, Baldus, Bisson Frères, Le Secq or Du Camp how they mastered sculpture and created a new art form. A catalogue is available on request. Another highlight is the newly discovered self-portrait of Gustave Le Gray from 1854. Gustave Le Gray is considered the most important and influential photographer of the second half of the 19th Century. His photographs are so rare and highly collectable that many have set record auction prices. Tournachon, Nègre, M

People in the glamour world like models and actresses thrive on their photos. The more photos that are in circulation, the more offers they will get and they also become more popular.Photos in a way are the only passport to bigger things in the modeling as well as film world. The wannabe actresses and models get their portfolios prepared by famous photographers. The photos are then circulated in the media.The sexiest actress in town today, Ileana, holds a diametrically opposite view. She says that she hates still photos. She is very uncomfortable with them and hence tries her best to avoid photo sessions. Wonder how she made it so big in the industry without posing for still photographs.If Ileana continues to hold a similar view in future, then she will find it extremely difficult to move

I'm not a professional photographer, but I do enjoy taking pictures. I try to take the best pictures I possibly can, and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I bought my first digital camera in 2002, and since that time I have been learning some tricks and tips that I can use to take better photographs.In this post I will provide some tips that have helped me through the last few years, and hopefully they will help you.Camera SettingsMost people that take pictures usually keep the camera on full Auto, meaning they just take the photo, download and print it. I don't mind the Auto setting, but I prefer to make a few camera settings.Digital cameras usually have a white balance setting. Change this setting to match the lighting conditions:For sunny and cloudy days I change this setting
By Paul MessierIntroduction Questions regarding the preservation of photographs date back to the very birth of the medium in the early 19th century. The early inventors were initially plagued by the inability to fix images recorded by a camera and suffered intense frustration as their experiments were destroyed upon exposure to light. While these obstacles were eventually resolved, the photographic literature has remained filled with research and commentary on other permanence issues such as the yellowing of highlights and the importance of clearing residual fix.Today the physical and chemical properties of photographs are better understood and there are numerous tools and resources available to collectors to insure that the photographs in their possession remain in good condition. Unders
