In this recurring column, we highlight a few items we've run across that don't merit a full story of their own but are interesting enough to bring to your attention. This time we look at Mohammad Ismail, Tod Papageorge, event photography, Teju Cole and fashion portrait retouching tips.
- Alan Taylor presents 14 photos of The Hopes and Fears of Afghanistan's Generation Z captured by Reuters photographer Mohammad Ismail. "This generation is war-weary and ready for peace, but they are now contemplating an uncertain future as talks take place that might allow the Taliban to regain some level of power," Taylor notes.
- In Street Photos of 1960s New York in Kodachrome by Tod Papageorge, Matthew Sedacca showcases these unknown images recently published in the book Dr. Blankman's New York by Steidl. "Often using slower shutter-speeds and waiting an extra beat or two for passers-by to settle in their strides, he composed clean-lined scenes loaded with symbolism and playfulness," Sedacca writes.
- Kirk Tuck goes over his most recent Event Photography assignment in detail. Cameras, lenses, flash, stand, soft box, the works to handle three different situations.
- Teju Cole reflects on When the Camera Was a Weapon of Imperialism (And When It Still Is). "Photography writes with light, but not everything wants to be seen," he writes.
- Topher Kelly details Lindsay Adler's Three-Step Process for Retouching Fashion Portraits.
