Photographer Stephen Orlando attaches LED lights to his subjects in order to capture the beauty of repeated motions using light: The above album shows the movement of a kayaker’s paddle through the water. Orlando’s calls […]
Tintype photography predates mainstream film. It was mostly used in the late 1800s. However, Michael Shindler is still doing it. And I must say he is doing it remarkably well: The video shows how the process goes with Jamie Hyneman as a model. It’s pretty much the same as any photo shoot, but instead of […]
