There is a reason the most enduring portraits in the history of photography are almost all in black and white. It is not nostalgia and it is not aesthetics. It is about what happens when you remove color from a face and what the viewer is forced to look at instead.
A meaningful week. The Ricoh GR IV Monochrome wins the Camera Grand Prix Technical Award, the Viltrox 55mm EVO review consensus comes in strong, Leica releases a phone, Canon discontinues a classic lens and raises prices, Capture One announces a 6% price increase, and Viltrox is not done yet.
For nearly twenty years Tamas Kereskenyi could not walk through this square without feeling the weight of it. Anger. Helplessness. The suffocating atmosphere of a political reality that had frozen the place into a symbol of absolute power. Then history changed. He came back for the first time not as a protestor but as a…
The eye is not passive when it looks at a photograph. It is always moving, always searching, always trying to find the thing it is supposed to look at. Your job is to make that search as short as possible and the destination as inevitable as possible. Here is how.
Jami Azad is a filmmaker based between Los Angeles and Karachi who photographs as therapy. Almost Broken is the work that came from years of looking for the same thing in two countries on opposite sides of the world. The face that has not yet given up. And the one that has.

It is about showing up consistently enough that the eye keeps developing, the instincts keep sharpening, and the camera starts to feel like an extension of how you see rather than a tool you pick up occasionally. Here is why that matters and…
Most photographers stay in their lane because it feels productive. The street photographer shoots streets. The landscape photographer shoots landscapes. The skills keep building and the work keeps improving. Until it stops. Here is why shooting outside your genre is one of the most effective things you can do to start growing again.
Kevin Delajoud came to photography through architecture and urban spaces and has never really left. His work is built on geometry, negative space, and the particular kind of emptiness that says something true about how people move through cities without ever really seeing them. He shoots with a Canon R7, edits minimally in Photoshop, and…
A quieter week on the big camera announcement front but plenty worth paying attention to. A nearly forgotten Dorothea Lange archive just went free online, Leica pushed a meaningful firmware update to the Q3 family, and several new lenses landed that are directly relevant to monochrome shooters.
You can tell a lot about a photographer from their camera bag. Not from what camera is inside it. From the bag itself. What is in it, how it is packed, and what is wedged into the side pocket that has absolutely no business being there.
