Alan’s Recommendation: The Best Books for Printing Fine Art Photo video by Mitch Boyer “Over the last week I’ve picked up a photo printer (Canon Pixma Pro 100) and now I am utterly obsessed with making the best prints possible. I would love to be printing in the darkroom but for now I’ll settle for inkjet printing. Mitch Boyer quit the printing business last year but his videos live on forever on YouTube. Teaching professionals and amateurs alike the fundamentals of printing your work.”

Chris’s Recommendation: How I Film My Youtube Videos by The Photo Dept.” I recently discovered Christopher’s channel. (I know, I don’t know where I’ve been) And I really enjoy his videos.

Alan’s Recommendation - “Through a Different Lens: Stanley Kubrick Photographs”

“Stanley Kubricks cinematography was inspired by his early work as a photographer. So, I thought this would be a fun book to share for anyone that loves his films! Kubricks films continue to inspire cinematographers around the world and his photographs continue to inspire my photography!”

Andy’s Recommendation- Phlearn: Frequency Separation Tutorial “This is a technique that I use often for portraits and I wanted to share it with you all!”

Chris’s Recommendation: RETRO TECH: POLAROID by Marques Brownlee

“It’s awesome to see a tech guys like Marques Brownlee get his hands on “retro tech” especially Polaroid. This is a great video about the history of Polaroid and where they are now. It’s also fun to see our friend Kyle from Brooklyn Film Camera!”

AJ’s Recommendation: “Hold Still: A Memoir with Photographs”
”Hold Still is a revealing biography of Sally’s career as a photographer, her life as a mother and decision making around “Immediate Family,” her facing growing older, and much more. I strongly recommend any visual artist reading this book".

Brennan’s Recommendation : Voigtlander New M Mount Lenses!

“The gap between Leica and third party lenses shrinks every once in a while and Voigtlander has always been my favorite competitor! The worst part about the previous 50mm f/1.5 Nokton were the absolutely atrocious ergonomics. These newer lenses have different coatings for different styles but my favorite part is the better handling. I’m definitely eyeing this for myself.”
