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 Alex Rothmeier, Lorenzo Tugnoli, Zack Seckler, Tobias Friedrich, a Reuters photograph trumps the president, silhouettes, the Sammons and Robert Doisneau.
- "A gap between jobs offered American photographer Alex Rothmeier the perfect moment for a week-long road trip from Southern Utah to Northern Arizona," Rosie Flanagan writes. He came back with some spectacular images.
- The Visibility of Photojournalism showcases the work of Italian photojournalist Lorenzo Tugnoli who was recently awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography. "Black and white is a kind of language for me," he says. "Color photography is a different way of seeing. Colors are complicated."
- In Rugged Greenery and Soaring Birds Unite Abstracted Landscapes of Iceland and Botswana, Laura Staugaitis presents a few aerials from Zack Seckler whose show Above opens at the end of the month in New York City.
- Tobias Friedrich shares his Split Shots half over and half under the surface of the water. A fisheye (which accounts for the extreme depth of field) inside a dome port does the trick with no post processing required for the composition.
- In Donald Trump Shows Off 'Secret' Mexico Document but Photos Reveal Contents, a Reuters story claims "a Reuters photograph of the sheet of paper allowed reporters to read parts of it."
- In Put the Sun Behind Stuff, Joe McNally shows off some silhouettes. Shooting into the light works nicely for food photography, too.
- The Sammons share some Photo Tips From Their New Oregon Coast Photo Road Trip Book. The new title is 224 pages of shooting and editing advice plus details on "all of the best places to lodge, dine and shop."
- Thessaly La Force interviews Françoise Gilot about Picasso, who she lived with for 10 years, and her life as an artist (she's 97 now). The piece includes a 1952 portrait by Robert Doisneau of Gilot in the foreground with Picasso lounging in the background.
