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 Marco Kesseler, Wolfgang Fröhling, lighting tips, portable photo printers, photo tricks and Aperture.
- In Where Art and Information Intersect, Stephanie Wade presents the images of London-based photographer Marco Kesseler, who "threads socio-political themes throughout to tell the stories that fuel our contemporary lives, with a particular focus on the narratives surrounding food, agricultural processes and our physical environment."
- Grace Ebert features Wolfgang Fröhling's photos of The Half-Renovated Houses of a Former Mining Region in Germany.
- Melanie Khareghat collects 10 Lighting Tips to Improve Your Photography from 10 photographers in the return of Affinity's free Creative Sessions. The company promises "a brand-new inspirational video every Friday at 4 p.m. BST throughout May."
- In The Best Portable Photo Printers of 2021, Mike Yawney reviews printers from Polaroid, Canon, Kodak, Fujifilm, Lifeprint and Victure to print smartphone images.
- In three minutes, Apple shows off a few photo tricks (including stop motion, slow motion and time-lapse) in Everyday Experiments: Full Bloom on an iPhone 12:
- In The Heartbreak That Was Aperture, Derrick Story mourns Apple's professional image editing venture seven years after it was suddenly killed off. (Cyme's Avalanche has been the preferred way to convert Aperture libraries to Lightroom, Capture One or Luminar 4, BTW.)
