  • Reviewed: Sony NEX-5N 16MP mirrorless camera

    Just Posted: Our review of the Sony NEX-5N. The 5N is the second generation of Sony’s more enthusiast-focused mirrorless models. It offers the well-respected 16MP APS-C sensor and the option to fit an external electronic viewfinder. Although the bodywork is near indistinguishable from the original NEX-5, the latest model gains a touch-screen interface and in-camera lens correction processing as two of the most obvious of its many changes. We’ve spent some time getting familiar with the 5N, to see if it delivers on the NEX concept’s considerable promise.

  • Maki Kawakita’s Theatrical Light

    Photos ©Maki Kawakita

    By Irwin Wong — A largely self-taught photographer, Tokyo and New York-based commercial photographer Maki Kawakita now shoots ad campaigns for major Japanese and US brands as well as working on her own series of self-portraits.

    Shown here are Kawakita's photos of Japanese rock icons Glay, which were done in 2009. As with many of her shoots, the location is as much the subject of her photos as are the people.

    How to commandeer a glitzy hotel lobby so she can fill it with her heavily gelled flashes? Turns out that part is pretty easy. It is the lighting itself that's a bit more complex… Read more »

  • Reflecting on Reflections

    As a photographer and fan of photography I’ve noticed one thing that seems inescapable, a person with a camera can seldom resist taking a reflection photo. You need not look very far as its unlikely you can browse a photo forum and avoid seeing a photo containing a reflection. There is something transcending about seeing the beauty of nature times two.

    When Mother Nature graces me with a sight of amazing beauty I’m filled with hope and peace. At that moment such feelings seem boundless if not infinite in nature and yet when that very scene is reflected the visual awe and emotions are amplified all the more. Reflections have long held a special place in the heart of man. I like to think where we see the best of nature, we look to see the best of ourselves. Perhaps that is why so many people are drawn to photographing reflections.

    A lake is a landscape’s most beautiful and expressive feature. It is Earth’s eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature.
    – Henry David Thoreau
