If your mom isn’t just the family photographer, but the family’s director of photography, production designer, and art director as well, chances are she’ll appreciate a photo-related gift for Mother’s Day. But if she’s the type of mom who loves to research and investigate every purchase she makes, you might want to think outside the box to find a gift that surprises or excites her or is just something she doesn’t already have. Here are some suggestions for Mother’s Day photo gifts for the mom who has it all:

For years, young photo enthusiasts have been striving to add a nostalgic look to their photos. From smartphone camera filters to old hand-me-down point-and-shoot cameras, we’ve been chasing a look that just can’t be replicated. That is, unless you design a camera specifically to accomplish that goal. And that’s exactly what Kodak did with the Charmera keychain camera

Any place in the world can be a photo destination in the winter, but the general idea is to explore a few locations that offer wonderful photographic possibilities in winter that they might not offer in summer. We want to make use of all that snow and everything else the cold temperatures have to offer. After all, we can enjoy the warmer weather come spring. We can always blend in a bit of that warm escapism we all crave after a few months of short days, snow, and cold.

These days, everyone has a camera right in their pocket. Smartphones have long been the go-to camera for quick photos of our friends, family, pets, and of course, ourselves. With features like portrait mode, users can simulate blurry backgrounds and isolate their subject for more eye-catching images. What else could you ever need? What if I told you that with the

Audio is extremely important. Photographers haven’t really had to worry about this, but it is something that can make or break your videos. Watch some of your favorite movies and pay close attention to the sound—you will probably pick up some audio cues or effects that amplify the scene or action. If recorded poorly, audio can make something completely unwatchable. Have you ever opened a video online to crackling and noise and decided that it just wasn’t worth enduring? Clarity in audio is one of the most important things for keeping your

The Micro Four Thirds system is becoming popular among a passionate group of wedding photographers. The compact size of the cameras and lens system, as well as the sheer number of available lenses from, OM System, Panasonic, and other manufacturers, not to mention the nearly limitless option of adapted lenses, means that the wedding photographer has many options for capturing the action.
It’s worth noting that OM System, formerly known as Olympus, has lenses with both branding. As lenses are updated, they’ll adopt the OM system name, but as

As a student, much of your life is about making choices and sacrifices. “Should I skip this class and sleep in?” or “Should I go to class even though I’m too tired to pay attention?” There are a lot of hard decisions to make as a student, especially if you’re a burgeoning photographer looking to attain professional status.
But, as a student, means are often limited and you need to be more conscious about what gear to add to your kit. What gear is critical and worth the investment versus what are some of the things you can ignore for now and

Not all fathers are photographers, but for those who are, I’d argue that a point-and-shoot camera is essential tech for the dads in the world. Even for those with the latest smartphone, point-and-shoots are dedicated, purpose-built tools that excel in areas where phones can’t quite keep up. And, besides, dads love tools, right?

Opening the year with a bit of fan service, Nikon announced a pair of anticipated products: a new super-zoom, the COOLPIX P1100 digital camera, and the company’s first-ever 35mm f/1.2 S lens for its Z series mirrorless cameras. The P1100 replaces the popular—and in used markets, pricey—P1000, a

In a stunning reversal of fortune, point-and-shoot cameras—which have long been dismissed as defunct—are currently experiencing a major resurgence. In both new and used markets, sales of point and shoots are way, fueled in part by nostalgia and the perceived shortcomings of smartphone cameras. With expanded feature sets, manual exposure controls, built-in and/or external flash support, and optical

Most of our articles on cameras concern their performance, their features, what’s new, what they’re good for, and where they fit in a brand’s lineup, but it’s worth also considering a camera’s design and aesthetics. While it’s the definition of superficial judgement, thinking about how good a camera looks—how stylish it is—can affect your desire to use the camera. You might be more likely to reach for the camera that looks good, feels good, and is a joy to use and carry rather than a camera that outperforms on paper but isn’t enjoyable to work

There have been many iterations and variations of the Leica Q since its inception, and all have shared the same phenomenal 28mm Summilux lens. That lens has lasted through collaborations, exterior redesigns, and even multiple sensor generations—which is an impressive feat considering ever-increasing sensor resolutions. Today, that lens gets a partner with the release of the Q3 43, which, as you may have guessed, brings a

Photographic art and style are both subjective topics about which many of us get passionate. The camera is a tool to make photographic art, but we all know that, as a tool—a machine—it can be a beautiful object unto itself. I talk about some of today’s stylistic photographic tools in my Recommended Stylish Cameras article, but let’s pass the microphone around the Internet to see what people think
