Behind the photo with Marie Hald

Marie Hald is not one to shy away from a difficult topic. The Danish photojournalist has spent her career capturing intimate glimpses into the lives of people who are often overlooked, forgotten, or that many have decided they would rather not see. With her camera, she gives the audience an honest, unglamorous, yet deeply sympathetic view of fatness, sex work, old age, girlhood, and much more. Her new photo book “Feminin” celebrates feminine beings, as she puts it, and the different ways 100 people between the ages of 0 and 102 inhabit this identity in a world of unattainable beauty standards. Join Marie behind the scenes as she tells us about the process behind getting one photo from her book. Who is the woman in the picture? The woman is Matilde Digmann. She is an artist who works with ceramics and graphic design and also a friend of mine. Why did you take her picture? I love to play around with and photograph some of my friends who are also artists, and Matilde and I …

5 favorite Capture One features with Zoë Noble

In this guest blog, Zoë shares her five favorite features in Capture One Pro and how she uses them to get more control over her images, save time on her editing and make her images stand out. 1. Style it out with Layers It’s important to be able to control as much of the editing process as possible so I can bring my own personal vision to life.

Wedding photographer Eric Ronald plays around with the new features of Capture One 23

Capture One 23 – One small step for man, one giant leap toward robots taking over the planet

In this guest blog, wedding photographer and Capture One Ambassador Eric Ronald shares his thoughts on the new features in Capture One Pro 23, letting AI take on the more tedious tasks, and what this latest version ultimately means for getting your time back. With every iteration of Capture One Pro, we are gifted with exciting new features. While they are generally going to benefit all of us, sometimes new features are particularly helpful for certain photographers. For example, Capture One Pro 22 saw the exciting rollout of “merge and stitch”, much to the delight of our landscape photographer friends. For this most recent installment, Capture One Pro 23, however, I am especially excited as some of the new features are going to really help those who need to cull and edit a high quantity of images. As a wedding photographer, I most definitely fit that category. These new features are a significant and symbolic step in the evolution of Capture One as we move more and more into harnessing the power of machine-based learning …

Dive into color with Daniella Almona

Photography is all about telling stories from a new perspective. Or at least it is for Daniella Almona.

Using Capture One Pro 23, the up-and-coming photographer has been playing around with the new features to find out how they help her better bring untold stories to life. Daniella Almona has always been surrounded by bright colors. Growing up in Lagos, Nigeria, she recalls going to the market; the fruit and trees intermingled with the elaborate colors and patterns worn by the people around her creating vibrant scenes that still stand out in her mind. “I think that subconsciously inspired my love for color, which is a big part of my photography and the work I create.” With lush greens, warm oranges, velvety blues, and more hypnotizing colors drawing the viewer into the frame, …
