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 Wellcome prize shortlist, 13 LGBTQ+ photographers, Gisèle Freund, car photography and Rembrandt's The Night Watch.

  • Matt Fidler presents the Wellcome Photography Prize 2021 Shortlist. The prize is exploring three urgent and international health challenges: managing mental health, fighting infectious diseases and global heating.
  • Brad Moore is Celebrating Pride with a short list of LGBTQ+ photographers and an invitation to share your own favorites.
  • In Defining Society With Photographer Gisèle Freund, Paul Martineau tells how Robert Mapplethorpe got the reluctant Parisian photographer (and the only female founding member of Magnum Photos) to pose for him.
  • Common Mistakes in Car Photography is pretty basic (but so are many mistakes).
  • Daniel Boffey details the reconstruction of Rembrandt's The Night Watch using artificial intelligence and a contemporary copy of the full-size original, which was long ago "cropped" to fit between two doors at Amsterdam's city hall.

More to come! Meanwhile, here's a look back. And please support our efforts...
