Wow! Here at NYIP we were thrilled with the quality and the quantity of the responses we received for this contest.

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

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.

World Press Photo 2014 Winners Announced

24 Feb

Each year World Press Photo holds their annual competition to find the best images of the year in photojournalism and documentary photography. They showcase the winners on their website as well as host a traveling exhibit. I’ve been luck enough to personally see the exhibit twice, in two different cities, along my travels.

On February 14th the World Press Photo winners were announced

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!

09 Nov

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.’
