Pixel Perfect
Pixel Perfect was formed in 2000 by a group of Australia's leading photographers and colour management specialists. After nearly seven years producing digitally retouched or compiled images for my clients, and always seeking perfect colour from screen to print, we became so dissatisfied with the cavalier attitudes toward colour management by the labs that were processing our work that, in desperation, we decided to open our own lab in May of 2000.

The legal picture
Recent publicity about bans on photography has probably made some people wonder what they actually have the right to do with their camera.
It might seem bleeding obvious, but photography is not illegal. However, if we take this as starting point, we can then explain when taking pictures may, in fact, be restricted. Read More ...

Has photography lost it's identity and Is graphic art hijacking photography?
I am not making any comparison between photography and graphic art, nor am I saying that photography is of it's nature better then graphic art. However, whilst I see both as dynamic visual media I believe they should each remain discrete.
Photography uses light to reproduce the likeness of an object whereby the graphic artist aims to communicate something specific using all manner of visual devices and enhancements. Read More ...

Hello I have a question.
My name is Chad and I have been doing photography for about 6 years now. for 5 years I just did normal portraits. Nothing sexy or nude at all. This last year I have been beginning to experiment more with the lingerie and artistic nude styles. My main problem though is finding models who are willing to pose in such a manner. I would say about 98% of the women that I have talked to are not willing to at all. Are there any pointers that you can give me, or maybe better places to look? I have a profile on here and onemodelplace as well.
Very Respectfully,
Chad Duren Read More ...

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2.3
Thanks to Adobe we now have a line drawn in the sand for the difference between Graphic Art and Photography.

Does the flash rock back and forth in the shoe? Can you see a wiggling space between the flash shoe and camera? See (fig.1) for the correct fitting and (fig.2) for the loose flash shoe. Read More ...
