The last time we wrote about Nat Geo doc series, they were concentrating on the photographers life story along with their work. This time, they take you deep into the ocean with a group of scientists and cinematographers to show you the world beneath the surface as you have not it seen it before. At […]

There is something very special about seeing a full range of an artist work for the first time. The current exhibit of LaToya Ruby Frazier’s current full body of work, is one that already requires me to see multiple times. It is thick and rich, with so many stories of the human condition, affected by […]

The oldest photography show, AIPAD,  opened today 4/25, in a return to the classic venue of the Park Avenue Armory. In speaking with the gallerists, everyone is thrilled.

Presented by an astrophotographer, here is the link : https://tinyurl.com/natgeoabceclipse    “Eclipse Across America” will simulcast live […]

I have seen a TON of docs of photographers, and honestly, most of them concentrate on the image, and leave the stories of the heart, soul, and origins of the photographers behind. Don’t get me wrong, I love seeing the process of the making of an image. To me, knowing how the photographer got to […]

The Photography Show   44 Galleries from all over the world come together in NYC, to show, and sell, the work of photographers from Dorothea Lange, to Cig Harvey and a ton of your favorites in between. PLUS, there are free […]

If there is one thing I’ve learned from years attending CES is that a lot of the products you see may never make it to market. Development deals, supply chain for components, and perhaps just the marketplace. Since we are here at Photoinduced, I like to see what products may help you as a creator […]

Where to begin…. After over 15 years doing CES, I have seen the changes, in how it’s presented, and how I’ve interacted with. A growth on both sides. I started a new media outlet in 2005, and it continues to this day. That’s Photoinduced.com, where you are reading this now. At first CES was combined […]

After a hiatus for in person, AIPAD, also know as The Photography Show is back in NYC for 2022! I think there will be a lot of events getting that opening line! This year’s show has brought back so many of the best galleries in the world for a 2 floor showing of some of […]

There are 2 main reasons I will always be loyal to Adobe Lightroom: Search engine for images Connection to Photoshop.

If you have ever seriously looked at humanity through a lens, you no doubt have known about Magnum. Briefly, “Magnum is a community of thought, a shared human quality, a curiosity about what is going on in the world, a respect for what is going on and a desire to transcribe it visually.” Henri Cartier-Bresson […]

And that means you! As an image maker and communicator, you have the skills to capture, and share the information to the world. No better time than the present. With the amount of events going on cross-country, the time to share real news, not fake news, nor alternative facts has never been more important. It’s […]

One of my favorite photo collections in the world, and one of the best places to see photographs, The Getty in Los Angeles, just got a huge new grouping of images. Along with other notable institutions, we should all look forward to seeing this work on the walls at the Getty Center. GETTY MUSEUM AND […]

DAVID SEYMOUR ISRAEL. 1951. © David Seymour / Magnum Photos I always look forward to this event. Imagine buying a museum quality print, from one of the most prestigious photography agencies, Magnum Photos, for $100. Signed or estate stamped, high quality printing, and the selection is prime. Now, when they say SQUARE, that is exactly […]

Just came back from an amazing evening at Aperture. Taryn Simon was in conversation with Kate Fowle about her overall process, current exhibition at the Gagosian Gallery, and her continuing work. My gut dictates so many of the images I lean towards, and create, which is a more visceral, immediate feeling. This artist brings such […]

(photo album of CES 2016 here) I like to think of CES as a film festival. The majors come out with a lot of glitz & glamour, plus loud fanfare and pretty packaging dressing it all up. The press releases will tout only the best parts, just like what surrounds any large scale movie release. […]

(photo album of CES 2016 here) What a time in Vegas, and CES this week. Actually, the organization behind CES, Consumer Electronics Show, is changing it’s name to CTA, Consumer Technology Association from CEA, consumer electronics association. A much broader name as it encompasses a much bigger business base. And Consumer is the key word, […]

Till next year, anyway. So why would you go to an event like this? You can buy your gear online from any number of places. You can hear photographers speak on youtube. You can learn incredible an amount of photo skills through way to many media formats. Not all great but, searchable. This is why: […]

Today, celebrated photographer Jimmy Chin will be the keynote speaker. Even if you don’t have G.A.S (gear acquisition syndrome) and don’t want to put your hands on some of the latest photo gear, you’ll want to be there for this. And now some snaps from the the floor: The Lume Cube, with 1,500 Lumens, and […]

This is probably the best overall Photo Event of the year.

(This is a previously published article, but the fireworks haven’t changed, so it should all still hold true.) Living in A Powder Keg and Giving Off Sparks!

please see note at bottom of post. First posted this in May, 2009, Wyatt Neumann, photographer, has recently become a cause célèbre for his photographs of his children posted online. A loving, devoted,father, this series has become a polarizing discussion of artist rights. But he’s a good photographer. Have a look at some of his […]

“Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don’t” Peter Paul/1980 Analog or Digital? Seems like an easy question to answer. If you’ve ever used film, you know the difference in the workflow. And the image. It’s a different skill set that will probably be soon relegated to those few willing to put in the […]

Yes, Photoinduced is all about the image. Sometimes I’d like to share things about the tech world that could affect you down the line. Or give you a viewpoint about the industry that the photo world deals with in different capacity than a PhotoKina or PhotoPlus East. So I go to CES in Las Vegas […]

It’s been a few years since I’ve met with with Katy Winn, and she shared “What’s in Her Bag”. It’s always a good lesson to see what a working photographer uses to get the job done. Not about endorsements, freebies, or the latest gear that gets written up. It’s about what works. And works. and […]

Today, Nikon Inc. announced its latest DX-format DSLR, the Nikon D5500, that offers a built-in Wi-Fi connectivity a 24.2-megapixel CMOS sensor with no optical low-pass filter (OLPF), like the D800E, and a new 3.2-inch Vari-angle touch operation LCD display.

Bruce Springsten ©Danny Clinch, shown at The Morrison Hotel Gallery Make no mistake, getting a great shot of musicians consistently from the pits, takes anticipation, skill, speed, tech knowledge, and location.

…APS-C new camera from Sony! At this point all we can do is drool over the stats: 11FPS! Claiming to be the world’s fastest AF performance at just 0.06 seconds.

Sometimes I have a need for a certain device that will help in the way I’m shooting. Living in  a large city, to get the shots you want, you need to be camera ready. I’m talking about camera in hand. Yes, I’ve done the wrap around the hand camera strap maneuver. The Black Rapid is […]

When I picked up my press credentials, this was the scene: And the we had the tech experts from the major camera companies, giving us a view into the future, which Scott Kelby promptly shifted into a full up ” change the whole game” discussion, where instead of bigger, better ,faster, it went to things […]

This is our favorite photo event of year. PhotoPlusExpo Gear, Seminars, Keynotes by the masters, old friends, new friends, and New York City lighting up with events all over the city, celebrating the power of the still image.

You’ve studied for years. Tuned up your technical skills to a point, where showing the work publicly creates discussion about the content, not the paper its printed on. At some point you chose a stylistic path. Hopefully. Now it’s time to hear from the pros and see how you stack up in the real world. […]

It’s time. Lightroom 5.0 is here. I’ve had the Beta,took it for a test drive like a lot of folks, and the question is always: Do I really need the upgrade? Here’s what I have been using and loving: The new healing brush is a huge improvement for precision. Photoshop has always been the best […]

Aperture has been creating some very cool events in the past year,(Daido recreates Xerox book) and this one is huge. One of our favorite photographers, Martin Parr, is having an exhibition of work at Aperture Gallery in NYC. The opening day, from 9AM to 6PM, Mr. Parr will be shooting portraits of the attendees against […]

I’ll be honest: been trying to get to this AIPAD show for years. Knowing the general tone behind it is the collecting of the finest of vintage photography, it’s an enriching experience to see almost 80 galleries display in an elegant setting such as the Armory. There was a sprinkling of new media and contemporary […]

Every year, Las Vegas hosts over 150,000 visitors to check out the latest in tech gear, content production techniques, and in more recent years, content delivery. It’s called CES, or the Consumer Electronic Show.#CES2013 OK, photography has some of the coolest tech gear going, but there are tools that you may not always think about […]

Nestled behind the entertainment powerhouse agency CAA, in Century City, California, this facility is now opening it’s 10th exhibit to the public. It’s now and has always […]

When we first started Photoinduced years ago, we knew PhotoPlus Expo was the first stop for us. As we began the research to build the site, shooting and collecting for years was a plus, but hitting the best trade for photography was key. It truly is the best place ever to see the gear, meet […]

(This is a previously published article, but the fireworks haven’t changed, so it should all still hold true.) What is it about fireworks that draws us close, cause us to emit uncontrollable ooohs and ahhhhs, and brings a group experience unlike any other? That shared , almost primal feeling of amazement at seeing those colored […]

My dad and I never did talk about it much.
That whole thing about being a dad, what you should know, best ways to bring up a child, teaching, discipline, etc..
He had plenty to talk about on every other subject, though.

Nikon adds some marketing muscle to the Nikon 1 Series, with a very cool contest that mixes celebrity, all of us, and a charity into a solid mix of photography. We’ve used the camera and it is sweet. Compact, excellent files, and interchangeble lenses. The menu/button system is incredibly easy to use, or you dig […]

When an artist picks up a new medium, there is a freshness to the vision, as a usually revived communicative passion, is reignited. And then there are those that have a creative vision, which is funneled through others, who eventually create with their own eyes. Nancy Berry enjoyed a successful career in the music industry […]

As photographers, we too often concentrate on a somewhat myopic view of our work. We want our results to reflect what we see or what our clients pays us to convey. Once in a while, we shoot just to fool around or to simply capture an event with little thought of what’s captured. But what […]

We’re going to be there and hope to see you too! NIKON® AND WARNER MUSIC GROUP REVEAL REMARKABLE ROSTER OF ARTISTS SET TO ROCK SOUTH BY SOUTHWEST® (SXSW) AT UPCOMING THREE-DAY LIVE MUSIC RESIDENCY “THE WARNER SOUND CAPTURED BY NIKON” TO FEATURE DAYTIME AND EVENING SHOWCASE PERFORMANCES BY T.I., SANTIGOLD, B.o.B, fun., KIMBRA, CHUCKIE, ED […]

After days of walking the multiple football field sized halls of the Vegas Convention Center, we were amazed, bored, schmoozed, and honestly delighted at the enormity of it all. Seems we walked about 4-5 miles a day, (yep, all tracked with a FitBit tracker) and along with scheduled meetings, stopped at what caught our eyes. […]

Yes, PMA and CES have combined. More CES that PMA for sure. So at the first preview of things to come this week, we had a full room of electronic goods which we’ll sift through to bring you some interesting things. A company called Dexim, had a very cool iPhone bracket that allowed you to […]

On the last day of PhotoPlus Expo 2011, a storm blew into NYC like none since 1952 at least. The slushy sleet was filling the streets outside the Javits Center. It didn’t stop the photographers who came to see the latest gear. This year saw a seemingly larger show, with more exhibitors, and higher quality […]

The crowds came out despite the rain today at the Javits Center in NYC. It seemed like there were more booths/exhibitors, and honestly, a lot more quality of gear being shown. Maybe because everyone can get a head start on the goods online, both to see AND to react. Today they came to touch. And […]

You know Moby. World renown musician. Sold over 20 million records. (albums? collections?) Did you know he is also a photographer?

The folks at 2D photography in Canada apparently had a lot of time on their hands. So they pulled out most of their gear and created this little gem: Enjoy. and how it came to pass: Some brilliant self promotion.

One of the best documentary photographers and filmmakers working today, Lauren Greenfield has shown us the dichotomy of disparate economic lives in Los Angeles, in Fast Forward, growing up female in Girl Culture, the ravages of dysfunction in Thin, along with a successful body of work in the world of advertising. The current exhibit at […]

We see photo contests all of the time, and are asked to help spread the word to keep up the entries. Happy to do so, as we always feel it is a win-win situation between a photographer getting exposure (ouch) and perhaps some prizes, and the contest folks raising some funds. Heck, we did it […]

Now, let’s take a look at an event shooting bag. One of the best things for a shooter at SXSW is the fact that it is a 10 day event filled with opportunities: From the music, Simon LeBon of Duran Duran © Damon Webster

Austin,Texas, with a triple scoop of Interactive, Film And Music events. Seminars, performances, networking, parties. it’s got it all. South By SouthWest has got to be one of the best all around festivals happening today, bar none. The finest minds in the interactive and social media space, combine with some of the finest content creators […]

It started with Dim Sum and two tables filled with photographers, bringing out the hardware and discussing why they were there. One of our favorite event photographers and a master of street photography, Chris Weeks, assembled a couple of his fellow shooters, to teach a select group of photographers the secrets of the street:

The month of January in Los Angeles became a triple art fair extravaganza for the collectors, observers and scene-sters. The last one in the series, Art Los Angeles Contemporary, held at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, stayed true to it’s name, and never blended eras. So, with all of the contemporary pieces here, we […]

It’s a full on month of art fairs in Los Angeles, and after PhotoLA we figured, what else could we see? Plenty. So let’s start with rarely seen and never before printed photographs by Henri Cartier-Bresson. Presented by Peter Fetterman Gallery of Santa Monica, this collection of work has some surprising good work and some […]

At first blush, we like to just get an overall vibe of a event. Opening night, we let you know that there were fewer dealers and no breakout stars. But then we knew we had to go digging for gold. And we found some. At the Skotia Gallery out of Santa Fe, we found Kelsy […]

The 20th edition of PhotoLA has opened in Santa Monica with a few changes and lots that is very much the same. We do love the event as it’s one of the only art fairs during the year to concentrate solely on photography in this area. OK, THE only one. Almost 60 dealers from all […]

It was a shorter walk around the floor but that just makes us think there could be hidden gems we could miss. Oh, we know stuff was missed, but what can you do? Shoot video, which is what we did. Many of the products will be featured in upcoming videos on photoinduced.com, giving you a […]

It seemed to go quick, but maybe because we were in constant motion. The times we did stop were pretty rich, as the event producers and many manufacturers were putting out some solid photographic training professionals. We are huge supporters of the companies that are as interested in teaching you about photography as they are […]

And they did. Lots of folks on a beautiful summery day in NYC. There were bunches of cool things to see, and the crowd didn’t seem to mind that most hot news had been announced pre-show. Putting your hands onto the gear you may buy is still the best way to decide on a purchase. […]

Yes, it’s here again!- the US photo trade show, PhotoPlus Expo with some amazing seminars to compliment the new gear to see on the Javits Center floor. We’ll be there starting this morning, to bring you some news from what may be coming up in the word of tools to make your photo life a […]

She has been here for awhile, and we have been totally unfamiliar with her work until recently. Her work explores the things you may not know. As it gets laid out in her book, An American Index of the Hidden and Unfamiliar, there are things and places that are hidden in plain site, so to […]

It’s a solitary medium we have chosen. Not everyone has the Annie Leibowitz staff, or army, or even a cadre of digital techs to compliment the archivists, set designers, stylists, make-up artists, re-touchers, etc. We’d think it’s safe to say that most of us are working solo in the photographic arts. Shoot, process, print or […]

It’s days like this that make us glad to be on the West Coast. To start with, one of our fave photo institutions in Los Angeles, the Annenberg Space for Photography, once again hosted the Pictures of the Year, international exhibition ( or POYi). For 2 days, many of the winners gave talks at the […]

We spent a […]

So it was a lively […]

The most amazing happened last week while in a card exchange situation. In the midst of everyone trading the little rectangles of info, one of the group got repeated extended studies of their cards. Their Moo.com photo cards. Now, photos on business cards are nothing new, but it has either been printed on a photographic […]

For a photojournalist, the question is never about can they get the access to the get shot. That is the job. They’ll be there. It’s what they do once they get there.

Whether it’s a county fair, state fair, or in this case a photo fair, one of our favorite parts is that the community comes out. Not out of the woodwork, but comes out to share in a common interest. At the county fair there may be funnel cakes, the worlds biggest squash, fried twinkies, and […]

Many years ago, PhotoLA was held at the local auction house, Butterfields & Butterfields, up on Sunset Blvd in Hollywood. Opening night was dedicated to raising money for a charitable cause, and photo aficionados from around the city gathered, to see what the dealers from all over the world had brought to town.
