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 Milan Fashion Week, Antarctica, a modern dancer, impending motherhood and the AirTag Camera Plate.
- Reuters features image of the backstage and collection highlights from Milan Fashion Week.
- Former National Geographic Expeditions guide Alex Krowiak discusses The Unique Challenge of Documenting Antarctica. "I thought of Frank Hurley, the Australian behind the lens for the infamous Shackelton expedition and arguably the world's most famous polar photographer," he writes. "How he crouched behind his heavy glass plates and early Kodak box camera, capturing the ship Endurance as the ice closed in around her, making images he was never sure would make it home to be developed."
- Suzanne Sease features the personal project of Janelle Jones, which was to move from still life photography to capturing her sister Lindsey, a modern dancer. "Watching a professional dancer like Lindsey at work, particularly in rehearsal or before the movement is polished and perfect, can be a truly revelatory moment about beauty and caliber of the human body," she says.
- Stephanie O'Connor's Reigning Toward Aries "weaves astrology, surreal imagery and Raw emotion into a striking exploration of impending motherhood, unplanned pregnancy and the contradictions of female identity." O'Connor is a winner of the LensCulture Emerging Talent Awards 2024.
- The $19.99 AirTag Camera Plate has a hidden spot in it for an Apple AirTag. The Arca mount fits any camera with a battery door over 1.25 inches from the tripod mounting point.
