We’ve featured Nick here before, but now he’s back with a new stereoscopic macro lens for Sony E. Yes, that’s right, it lets you shoot 3D macro images. It utilises a pair of camera bodies, but it’s a very strange-looking setup!

It’s validation that the dream of a photography career has become a reality and that they have a business partner who can deliver a steady stream of assignments, so they can fully devote themselves to a life of creativity. But before you get too excited, let’s consider how the photographer-agent dream matches up with reality.

I’ve seen plenty of amazing timelapse videos over my time at DIYP. But my all-time favorites will be videos showing plants and their interaction with insects. There’s something about nature timelapses that’s fascinated me ever since I was little – and it hasn’t gone away.

In this timelapse from Boxlapse, you’ll see a mesmerizing process of a pinecone turning into a tiny pine tree. And if you, like me, collected pinecones as a kid, I’m sure you’ll love it even more.

Pratik Naik has become a bit of a household name in photography circles. He’s known mainly for his high-end retouching, but he’s also an accomplished photographer in his own right, as well as an educator, and creator of Infinite Tools.

More recently, Pratik has been exploring new technologies, including AI processes and image generation. He’s curious about what the future holds for creatives and doesn’t shy away from asking big questions about AI and how we can use it for our benefit rather than our demise.
