How a photographer lit and photographed this couple in Antelope Canyon

John Aldred

A common source of inspiration for photographers, and a very popular tourist spot, Arizona’s Antelope Canyon is truly wonderful. Formed mostly due to erosion from flash floods, its passages cover a length of around 600 metres (2,000ft). It’s no surprise, then that it’s a popular destination for portraits, especially for California wedding photographer Christine Diaz. When I […]

The World’s first digital camera, introduced by the man who invented it

Steven Sasson invented the world’s first digital camera while working at Eastman Kodak in 1975. It weighed around 8 pounds (3.6kg) and shot a mere 0.01MP. It’s crazy to think how far we’ve come since those early days.  We’ve gone from 30 images on a delicate cassette to thousands on something as small as a […]
