Tagged as: crop, digital camera world, infographic, portrait How to Take the Perfect Profile Picture You never get a second chance at a first impression. The Internet has changed many things, but not that old bit of wisdom. First impressions can be as indelible when made online as in real life, and in the era of social media, profile photos can play a major role in making them. Having a great profile photo on Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn or Twitter may impress the social media friends you already know, but it can be even more important for your flagship shot to make the right impression on ones you don’t know yet — especially when they might be deciding whether to hire you. We asked Marjorie Kase, a solutions consultant at Adobe Social, and Tony Gale, a New York-based commercial photographer, for some pointers on how to create a profile photo that presents you in just the right light. 1. This may seem like a basic point, but we all have social media friends whose profile photos are clearly not shots of them or are childhood photos. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Recommended by
Provokatören Newton - naket och glamouröst - Kamera & Bild Hans fotografering var provokativ, med inslag av nakna kvinnor, dekadens och sadomasochism. Genom att tänka nytt och fritt utnyttjade Helmut Newton allt från skuggor, skulpturer, det nattliga mörkret och skyltdockor för att berätta sin bildhistoria. Nu har utställningen kommit till Fotografiska i Stockholm, där du också kan se ett urval av hans bästa bilder, sorterade efter tema: mode, porträtt, naket, sex och humor. Helmut Newton använde sig ofta av ljusets kontraster, hårda skuggor och svartvitt, för att skapa något som var nästan futuristiskt. Genom detta har han också influerat många andra fotografer, bland andra Ellen von Unweth, Mario Testino och Steven Klein, Men förutom sin påverkan inom mode- och reklamfotografin har han även påverkat regissörer: Stanley Kubrick, Roman Polanski och Yves Saint Laurent, för att nämna några. Chefkurator Matthias Harder från Helmut Newton Foundation i Berlin förklarar vidare hur Helmut Newtons fotografering påverkat fotografin.
On ‘Crop Factor’: What it Means And How to Apply it to Your Photography When adapting the lens of one camera system to another, you may not always get the same results. Part of the reason is that your camera system may have a smaller sized sensor than the system the lens was made for. This will lead to an image that appears ‘cropped’ compared to an image taken with the same lens on a camera with a larger sensor. We’re speaking of the so-called ‘crop factor’, which determines the difference between the appearance of images taken with cameras with different sensor sizes, but the same lens. After the break, we’ll go into detail how the crop factor is calculated, and how it relates to a lens’ focal length and other properties. When you first bought that new Canon EOS Rebel, you might’ve read about a lens called the ‘nifty fifty’, or have come across an opinion piece praising the 50mm focal length, and why everyone should have a 50mm lens. A smaller sensor of course records less of the image the lens projects than a larger sensors.
