Fitness instructor obliviously captures Myanmar military coup on video while dancing away
Well, the 2020s certainly is turning out to be the most surreal decade ever, and we’re only just starting the second year.

For fitness instructor Khing Hnin Wai, though, it was just another day at the office as she films her workout routine. Except this time, there’s a military coup going on around her. While she’s dancing and exercising away to some pretty upbeat music, the military drives past and behind her to take over Myanmar’s parliament complex in the capital, Nay Pyi Taw.

Photographer leaves out photo from bodybuilding contest gallery because of contestant’s excess skin
Imagine exercising your butt off, entering the bodybuilding competition, only to later find out your photo was omitted from the contest gallery because you’re not “perfect.” This is what happened to Jana Roller. She worked hard for two years, lost 140 lbs and entered her first bodybuilding competition. However, when she browsed through the gallery of photos from the contest, she realized there was no photo of her among the other contestants from her category. She contacted the photographer to ask shy her photo wasn’t included, and received an unpleasant answer. The photographer assumed that she’d be embarrassed by her body.

I’m sure some will complain about selfie culture, body obsession or whatever – but as a photographer I’m seeing a fantastic opportunity to earn some easy money. [Read More…]

I’ve been following the work of Texas based portrait photographer Keydrin Franklin for a while now, but a recent Facebook Live stream of this particular shoot got me very interested. It’s certainly not every day you see a group of people walking out into the middle of the road to have photos made.
As well as resulting in fantastic photographs, Keydrin’s live stream for this session illustrates the kind of effort and care required on a location shoot in unpredictable surroundings while ensuring the safety of all those involved.
