How To Light A Car

The Rather Special Lamborghini Aventador

A very interesting video showing how photographer Blair Bunting uses possibly the largest lightbox ever, along with around $60,000 in other lighting kit, to light this rather wonderful supercar.

A really interesting aspect of this video is seeing how adding smaller accent lights effects the way the shapes of the car are brought out. Although not a fan of retouching in this kind of extreme (after all, I’m a photojournalist primarily), the talent of the retoucher are to be admired.

Don McCullin On Documentary Photography

An absolutely brilliant interview with Don McCullin on social documentary photography, where he talks of his work in the East End of London during the 1970s.

Don McCullin Shoots

In Search Of Incredible

I’ve just come across a project shot by Don McCullin for Asus and Intel, called In Search of Incredible. There are some interesting behind the scenes videos by Clive Booth.

Tim Hetherington

His Life and His Work

A very moving film with interviews with the late Tim Hetherington, talking about his work covering various conflicts and his reasons for being there. At 2:18 there is a clip with the late Chris Hondros. RIP gents. You are and will be always missed. The end of the film is very difficult to watch as it shows Tim’s last moments.

Henri Cartier-Bresson
