This week we have street photography in the virtual world, rising local waters and the communities affected, teens wanting to be fashion models and lots and lots of creepy. Go ahead and click, if you dare…

  • A photographer mom dressed up her daughter as famous women from history, and photographed the results. The 5-year-old Coco Chanel is fabulous.
  • Halloween may be over, but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy these creepy photos of creepy people in the past behaving creepily. Our ancestors were nuts.
  • D.C. Photographer Greg Kahn has been documenting the rapid sea level rise in the Chesapeake Bay since 2012. His documentation of the changes to the coastal communities appeared in the Washington Post Magazine last weekend.
  • Also in the Washington Post is an article about the dramatic changes to Senior Portrait photography in the region. The very glamorous photo shoots that teens are demanding, along with the high sticker prices, are great for photographers. While the fashion style shoots may be too over the top to some, we still think it is much better than teens taking selfies at funerals.
  • Can’t get enough creepy OG Halloween photos? Check out the work of photographer Ralph Eugene Meatyard. He was destined for creepy with a name like that.
  • Photographer Fernando Gomes takes beautiful street images of New York City. Gomes also captures daily life on the streets of Los Santos, the fictional city in Grand Theft Auto V.
  • While not new, the George Mason University Archives’ photostream on Flickr is worth a look.
  • If newer creepy photos are your jam, these images of doll faces switched with kids faces ought to do the trick.
  • In tiger news this week, don’t stick your arm in a tiger’s cage. It never ends well.
  • And finally, ghosts are real! There are photos. Mwahahahaha.

Which D.C. Photographers Do You Follow?

There are many great photographers living and working in Washington D.C., and we love viewing their work. We thought it would be interesting to ask a few photographers, with various backgrounds, whose work they enjoy watching. Their answers are fascinating. Some follow photographers whose work is completely different from theirs, while others follow someone who has helped them along the way. One photographer was named twice, and one of the photographers we asked was named by another.

Exposed Interview: Kevin Good, Droneography

October 29, 2013 By Meaghan Gay

Chapel_Valley_aerial_01Kevin Good is a very busy man. He is a photographer, cinematographer, teacher, and film director. Good produced the popular and very funny web series Weapons of Mass Production, which break down many of the technical aspects of camera technology, like comparing the Nikon D800 and the Canon 5D mkIII or How to Light Your Video on a Budget. His film work has been featured in TV and Film Festivals around the world. He also finds time to teach photography and film classes.

It is Good’s newest venture, droneography, that caught our attention and that of many others. The Washington Post wrote about how he used a drone to fly in the rings during his brother’s wedding ceremony. He’s also been interviewed by the Today show. For someone as accomplished as Good to describe droneography as the “most challenging thing I’ve ever undertaken,” we knew we had to find out more.

Ep_jhu_tpSo many choices! Flickr user ep_jhu shows us that a familiar subject, placed in an unfamiliar way can make for an interesting photograph. This layout at Barmini makes the toilet paper look like part of a carnival game. He also showed great restraint in not unraveling them all, or dropping a large disc on the top and screaming, “Plinko!”

From the Super Smog in China, to photographs of women in Nepal, to new species in the Amazon, and finally some happy tiger news, we have a little bit of everything this week. Dive right in.

  • Pay the photographer. Baltimore photographer and Strobist guru David Hobby experienced an all too common request for free photography. But when that request came from the multi-million dollar National Association of Realtors, he took to his blog to share his thoughts.
  • Lovely images that a father captured of his young, autistic son.
  • The photos of the Super Smog is China this week are terrifying. They sadly reminded us of the Edward Burtynsky film Manufactured Landscapes, which you can watch on Netflix.
  • Photographer Marie Dorigny documented the victimization of women in Nepal. Her work was funded by the International Photo Reporter Festival, which is using a new model of private and community money to sponsor photojournalism.
  • iPad photography may be gaining more acceptance, but that doesn’t make people look less ridiculous when they are doing it.
  • In related iPad photography news, Canon has “cut its annual profit forecast and predicted its first drop in sales of models with an interchangeable lens as consumers switch to smartphones to take photos.“
  • Photographer Lisa Shires, whose work from Cuba we featured in August, has new work on her website from Nicaragua.
  • The prints, collages, and bleached polaroids of artist Robert Rauschenberg will be at the Pace/MacGill Gallery in New York at the beginning of November. While the artist may be known for the many types of art he produced, his photography was a central part of his career.
  • Over 400 new species of animals have been discovered in the Amazon rain forest since 2010. The Guardian has a gallery of pictures of these “new” members of the planet. Look at them now, because their habitat is so endangered, many may not be around long.
  • Photographer Richard Renaldi and the Aperture Foundation raised money for his series, Touching Strangers. The work has been getting some press attention, for good reason.
  • Fotoweek DC is right around the corner. Check out our preview of must see exhibits and events.
  • And finally, to counterbalance last week’s terrible tiger news, the Australia zoo released photos and video of their twin Sumatran Tiger cubs.
