Erich Hartmann

2008-12-03T10:11:00.003-05:00

"A large portion of my work is concerned with people because people are the most inventive and news-making part of our lives. Yet I am as much attracted to the evidence of their presence and efforts, whether good or evil, as I am to the people themselves." Erich Hartmann

Jeff Ascough Wedding Photographer.

2008-12-03T10:03:00.003-05:00

The first photographer in the UK to shoot weddings with a photojournalist's style, Ascough garnered global attention when his wedding work was featured in a 2004 issue of the Washington Post. Given his style, it makes sense that Ascough cites Henri Cartier-Bresson as an influence. While many wedding photographers shoot nonstop, he often composes an image and waits for the "decisive moment."

Eye-One Display 2

2008-11-05T21:27:00.007-05:00

Colour management starts with your monitor, and if it isn't correctly calibrated there is little if any chance of colour being displayed accurately. Therefore, the key to obtaining colour accuracy and consistency across applications and systems is to use a good quality hardware device to measure the light emitted from the display. This review discusses the latest revision to Gretag Macbeth's Eye-One Display colorimeter along with the supporting Eye-One Match software. CLICK HERE.
