2022 wrap up – thank you for being you

2022 is coming to an end. And what a year it has been! Not only did we launch Capture One Live and Capture One Pro 23 with exciting new features like Smart Adjustments and Layers in Styles, but we also jumped into the world of mobile editing with Capture One for iPad. But this post is not about what we did. It is about you. Because you make Capture One what it is by showing the world incredible images and telling stories that bring emotions to life.   This year, you have been busy. In 2022 alone, you and your fellow photographers have imported 2 billion images into Capture One. If we printed just one day’s worth of your images (almost 6 million!) and stacked them, they would reach about three and a half times the height of the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa. Many of you also spent this year working closer than ever with colleagues and clients – even those on the other side of the world. How do we know? Since …

Photographers Nina Zimolong, Don Laurent and Alessandro Galatoli shares their best time saving tips for an efficient photography workflow

3 photographers share their best time saving-tips for Capture One

If there is one thing most people wish they had more of, it’s time. Time to relax, to spend with friends and family, to work on what you truly care about. Although an essential part of a professional photographer’s work, culling and editing can sometimes take up unnecessary time. We spoke to three photographers about how they have made their workflow more efficient in Capture One Pro and get more time to do what they love. Nina Zimolong On assignments for high-profile brands, fashion and lifestyle photographer Nina Zimolong doesn’t waste any time on unnecessary steps. Keeping a well-thought-out, simple yet efficient workflow is what makes her able to deliver at a speed that amazes her clients. What is the most important thing to think of before a shoot? When planning a shoot, I need to be super organized. I like to have everything planned down to a T. I’ve been on many sets where things are not planned properly and it’s always those shoots that take the most amount of time and I can …

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 …

Dive into color with Daniella Almona

Photography is all about telling stories from a new perspective. Or at least it is for Daniella Almona. Not seeing people like her represented in front of or behind the camera, the Nigerian-born fashion and portrait photographer has made it her mission to be a voice of change by centering blackness and color in all its forms in her work. 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, …
