From the grant page: The Photocrati Fund offers $5000 grants to non-professional photographers to undertake important humanitarian and environmental photography projects. Our goal is to identify outstanding, up-and-coming photographers and give them the resources necessary to [...]

Sharing a favorite photo – just for the heck of it

I was looking at this photo as a possible magazine submission the other day and thought – I should just share it. I love the contrast between traditional and modern. Contrasts: A dani man wears traditional body paint and decorations along with his sunglasses at the Baliem Festival.  Held every August in the Papuan highlands, the [...]

The Top 10 Best Photography Business Blogs

Since readers of this blog are obviously interested in what makes a successful photography business, I thought I’d share what I consider to be some of the best photography business blogs on the web. Of course, the DSLRBlog Photography Business Blog would make the list, as would the business section of Photocrati’s photography blog. But [...]

How to Price Assignments: Price High and Give Your Clients an Experience

Unlike my usual posts, this is an off-the-cuff post spurred by a recent experience with some clients. We did a shoot with a young lady, an equestrian, along with her horse. We worked hard to make it not just a photo shoot, but an experience. They loved it, and loved the photos, and never blinked [...]

Review of Photobiz Website Templates

Second article in a series on finding the best photography website templates for photographers. This series reviews the major template providers and gives photographers a more systematic basis for comparing and choosing. See also: The Best Photography Website Templates: Introducing a New Series ***UPDATE: Below I say that I ultimately chose Photobiz as my solution. [...]

Do you need a portfolio?

Short answer: Yes, but not in the way you think. For most photographers, the word “portfolio” evokes images of a physical “portfolio” of images, often in a big black portfolio case, that represents who you are as a photographer. There are still a few situations when such classic portfolios are relevant—for example, if you are applying [...]

Introducing Best of Wedding Photography

I noted in my last post that work on Photocrati’s photography blog and photography WordPress themes have been keeping me from posting regularly on DSLRBlog. In addition to Photocrati, I’ve been working on another great project with a great group of wedding photographers. Some of the best and best-known wedding photographers in the world are working [...]

Sony A850 Review

I’ve been very busy on Photocrati over the last few months, which largely explains my infrequent posts here on good old DSLRBlog. Just seven months old, Photocrati is now doing about 150,000 page views per month, which is great to see. I just wanted to let readers here know that Peter Burian (co-author of the National [...]

Canon T1i Review

Hey folks, just a quick note. Jack Neubart has just published his new, user-friendly Canon T1i Review on Photocrati. Here’s a bit of what he has to say: “Small and compact, a good choice-if you don’t mind some compromises. I’m not really sure that Canon knows exactly what to do with this camera. It seems simple enough, [...]

Photography WordPress Themes

As you know I’ve been slowly (very slowly, sometimes) working on a series of reviews of website templates for photographers. This has given me a bit of insight into the advantages and disadvantages of various kinds of solutions. Along with the team over at Photocrati, as well as a couple teams of web designers, I contributed [...]

Thank You Post

Every once in a while, it’s nice to say thanks to those who’ve supported or helped you in some way. In that spirit, I’d like to say thanks to the following folks. First, to a couple of fellow photographers: John Mitchell, who provides great tailored photo workshops in Australia. Gregg Lowrimore, who does some [...]

Do you need a model release?

I’m going to try to bring simplicity to a complex question. Here’s a comprehensive legal answer in two sentences. The General Rule: If a photo of a person, or of copyrighted or trademarked property, is used to advertise something, then the publisher of the photo needs a release. The Privacy Exception: If you are hired to take [...]

Update: Reorganizing Our Categories

This post is especially for regular readers. As I’m sure you may have noticed, in the past, all 800+ articles on DSLR Blog were placed in just five categories, each with hundreds of articles. Needless to say, that made finding information or specific articles on the site a bit difficult. We are now in the process [...]

How to write your own photography blog

I’ve noted elsewhere here that having a website is no longer optional for photographers. Clients will expect you to have one. Indeed, many potential clients will never even find you if you don’t have one. At minimum, you need a site that presents an impressive portfolio of your work, and provides a bio and contact [...]
