Ok, make that “the new newsletter”. So much have happened at Nikonians since the last newsletter and this made us yearn for an improved one. This is the result. We thought it deserved its own domain, so it now resides at www.nikonian.org (note the missing “s” at the end). Feel free to give us feedback on it using the feedback discussion thread in the Nikonians Café. Since last time, we have been in Canada and we met in Brussels. In this edition, you can read about it and see some of the images we took there. With members from over 100 countries, many Nikonians do not celebrate Christmas, but to the ones of you who are, the whole team at Nikonians is wishing you nice holidays with cool temperatures for safe film storage. By the way, we have slightly improved our logo – hope you like it. And remember, no matter where you are, Nikonians is never far away. The image to the right of a Nikonian from South Korea is a good example. Bo Stahlbrandt & J.

  • Intro to Professional Food Photography Welcome to the Intro
    Intro to Professional Food Photography Welcome to the Intro to Professional Food Photography class. The first in an ongoing series designed to help those interested in pursuing food photography, whether you have been shooting other subjects professionally or are just curious about what it takes to turn food into published photography. Starting a career in food photography or styling is a challenge. While some art schools allow for specialist study, few offer in- depth classes covering food photography. While more general classes, such as dramatic portraiture or still life, sometimes cover subjects similar to food photography, few of them really prepare you for real-world shoots. This class aims to help those photographers who have a passion for food learn how to get started in the industry, to understand how the industry has developed, and to see where it is going in the future. To get the most out of this class you need to have a solid understanding of the basic principles of both photography and lighting. This class isn’t a guide to being a food stylist, which is a highly skilled profession requiring strong culinary and artistic talents. Instead, this class describes the roles of stylists and photographers, and how they work together to produce great food images. In the first lesson of this 2 week intro class, we will cover the different types of food photography projects that are available to pro shooters, as well as walk you through the workflow of a typical shoot. You’ll learn how to build your portfolio, and get the level of critical feedback needed to ensure your best work is being featured.

  • Instructional Program Review Spring 2014
    Laney College Photography Department Instructional Program Review Spring 2014 Peralta Community College District Core Data Elements See Attachment A The Instructional (Academic Affairs) Program Review Narrative Report 1. College: Laney College Discipline, Department or Program: Photography Date: March, 2014 Members of the Instructional Program Review Team: Steve Lomba and Diane Rosenblum, with assistance from Franklin Avery, Black Moon, Joan Bobkoff, Dean Freeman, Mike Mejia and Mike Moya, under the direction of Matthews Jackson and Felix Robles. 2. Narrative Description of the Discipline, Department or Program: I. Industry overview: Photography is a nineteenth century medium playing an increasingly central role in twenty first century culture. What was a slow, intensely technical and laborious process a century ago is now readily available in a smart phone. According to businessinsider.com, Facebook users are uploading 350 million photographs a day. The photographic image is overtaking the written word as the medium through which we comprehend the world. To understand the aesthetics of photography is to understand how meaning is communicated in our society. For the professional commercial photographer or artist, a deep grounding in the history, theory and techniques of photography are essential as well for a viable career. The photographic industry has undergone great change since the Laney photography department was founded just after World War Two, and especially since the current facility was constructed in 1968. In addition to the explosion of general interest in photography, the move to digital technologies has changed how photographs are taken, processed and presented. The field of fine art photography has grown from a few specialized galleries and museum collections in the 1970s into a large, vibrant market with many galleries, collectors, fairs, and lively museum programs.
