3 photographers on how they found their creative voice

When everyone has a camera in their pocket, it is on you as a professional photographer to make your work stand out above the rest. As both a craft and a form of expression, developing a strong voice through your photography is key. We spoke to three young photographers from Authority Collective – a group of womxn, non-binary and gender expansive people of color working towards more inclusivity in the photography, film and VR/AR industries – about how they found their own artistic expression and their best tips for making your work unique in both workflow and look. Shravya Kag Photo and video documentarian Shravya Kag treats the camera as an extension of herself.

RAW talent with Josefine Amalie

Josefine Amalie is a dreamer. Sensitive to the inequalities in the world, the recently graduated Danish photographer is interested in creating narratives through her work that break with what we are used to seeing. In this latest post in our RAW Talent series, Josefine tells us about how she tries to deconstruct stereotypes and create a different reality with her photography and how Capture One helps her along the way.

Besides that, I have a bachelor’s in Communication and Digital Media from Aalborg University …

RAW Talent with Alexander Holmfjeld

Alexander Holmfjeld loves using minimalistic touches of color and geometric shapes. As a photography student at NEXT in Copenhagen, Denmark, he has been experimenting with different trends and styles to find his own voice. In our new series RAW Talent, we put a spotlight on emerging photographers who are exploring their process with Capture One, and Alexander is the first to give us a peek at what the new generation of photographers has in store for us. Can you tell us more about your style? What makes it unique? My style tends to lean into minimalistic elements of color and geometrics. I love playing with lines and lighting, especially using it to force the audience’s attention in a certain direction. I love shooting still images and doing my best to make my subjects feel that ‘POP’ effect from the image, making them almost look alive How was the process of finding your authorial voice? I’d say my process in finding this style had mostly to do with exploring different trends, grabbing elements I liked, and …

Retoucher Jan Wischermann on using Capture One for iPad on the go

Being on the road for two weeks, shooting in some of the most scenic locations to be found in Sicily, retoucher and Capture One Ambassador Jan Wischermann got to experience the flexibility of Capture One for iPad using the Beta version of the app to work on the go for the project “Sicily, Women and Cinema“. Watch the behind-the-scenes of the shoots to see how Jan was able to get a head start on his editing.     “Sicily, Women and Cinema” is a photo series by fashion photographer MOJA shot over 12 days in Sicily. The project aims to show off the unique scenery found on the island and encourage more film studios to choose it as the location for their next film. Moving between different sets all over the Italian island, with time to kill on long car rides or while the crew was setting up the shoots, expert retoucher Jan Wischermann was able to start his work while away from the computer using the newly released Beta version of Capture One for …
