Sure you’ve seen plenty of timelapses and hyperlapses. Those commonly made include the change in weather and light over the city skyline, or a building being constructed over several months. But I’ll bet you’ve never seen a timelapse like this. This video documents a graffiti artist as he paints and creates works or art in […]
Every photographer loves that soft white light that pours in through a single window. Its diffuse glow seems to make anything in its path magically photogenic. Whether it’s the slits of light through a pair of barely open shutters or that golden luminescence that fills the airplane cabin at 30,000 ft., naturally diffused light is […]
An anamorphic image is an illusion that appears distorted from all angles but one.

Below is an original short created by 522 productions that incorporates an interview with Cartier-Bresson to show what it is that inspires the photographers as 522: Perhaps one […]
This little lion cub might look cute and cuddly, as he closely resembles a Disney character we all know and love, but you definitely wouldn’t want to wrestle with him like you would a house cat. Photographer Kyle Mijlof captured this photo during his travels through Zimbabwe, one of the forty-one countries he’s visited since […]

Every highlight, shadow, reflection, color, texture, everything. Hours and hours can be spent perfecting a product shot, and even more hours can be put in editing […]
