But for those of you who did not win, we’d like to extend a special discount on the NYIP course of your choice.

    The discount code ‘BU3′ can be used when you enrol online, or by phone, to take 15% off either payment plan on any of NYIP’s courses. Simply get started by visiting www.nyip.edu.

    Thanks again for all the wonderful submissions,
    The NYIP Team

    The winners of this contest were chosen by the Admissions Team at the New York Institute of Photography based on how well the commenters understood NYIP’s programs and how NYIP could help them as photographers. All three winners will be emailed by our team to collect contact information and notified by NYIP with details of how to collect their prize.

    Head over to view all the 2014 award winners here!

    Even if you are not into documentary or journalistic photography, you can’t help but find these images haunting, stunning, and sometimes shocking. Photography has long since been an important tool in documenting our lives and times. See what these, often brave (or stupid) photographers bare witness to and capture with their cameras for the world to see.

    Documentary photography has also historically played a role in social change. You just have to think about the images of the starving children in Africa to realize that’s true. Only after the images showed up on the media, did the world take notice and do something to help.

    So do your part – go see the winning images. Really look at them. Not just for their technical and artistic qualities, but look at the meaning in those images. Be inspired to create deeper, more meaningful images yourself.

    Enjoy!

  • SD card labeling for 4K video announced

    Class3_large.png

    As of now there are not many consumer products, aside from a from a few smartphones (and the GoPro HERO3+ Black Edition), that can shoot 4k video. However the SD Association’s announcement of new Ultra High Speed Class 3 (U3) card labeling anticipates it becoming more common. The U3 designation guarantees a 30 MB/s constant minimum write speed, making it easier for buyers to know which cards are ‘4k ready.’
