Shooting through prisms at home or in the studio

by 3 Comments

In this tutorial we will be going over how to create gorgeous in-camera flared effects that can add a lot of depth and interest to a simple portrait image.

The glass prisms are generally used for school science experiments so they’re readily available and very inexpensive.

Urban Outfitters offers a year of full-time internship for photographers, pays $0

Urban Outfitters offered undergraduate students internships in photographic studio production and styling. The lucky ones will get a full-time position in the London office of the company for a whole year. Sounds too god to be true? It is.
