Photojournalism’s MeToo moment?


Photojournalism has a major and long-standing problem with
sexism and sexual harassment, suggests a report in the Columbia
Journalism Review. According to the authors ‘many women in the
industry say the behaviour is so common that they have long
considered it simply one of the realities of working as a woman in
the profession.’ See www.cjr.org/special_report.

New 48MP smartphone sensor from Sony


Sony has announced a new 48MP smartphone sensor, a 1/2-type
(8.0mm diagonal) device using the Quad Bayer colour filter array. As
well as its impressively high pixel count, the IMX586 sensor is the
first in the world to feature a minutely small pixel size of 0.8μm.
The IMX586 will go into production from September.

world
into a frame. As such, they’re beloved by
landscape photographers, where big skies, dramatic
scenery and interesting foregrounds can all be
included in a single, detail-rich frame.
But it’s not just landscape photographers who can
reap the rewards of a wideangle lens. They’re useful
for all kinds of applications, from architectural and
interior photography to travel and environmental
portraiture. Over the next few pages we’ll explore
some of the key things to consider when using a
wideangle lens. How to get the most out of them,
overcome common problems and create expansive
photos of all kinds of subjects.

The basics
Typically, any lens with a focal length of 35mm
or less is classed as a wideangle (that’s full frame
35mm, which is an equivalent 23mm on an APS-C
sensor camera). The shorter the focal length, the
wider the field of view. Of course, many multi-
purpose zooms can be used as a wideangle at the
short end. Lower focal lengths result in wider fields
of view, so you can fit more of the scene in the
frame. As such, a wideangle is handy when you
simply can’t get back far enough to include
everything you want.
Focal length also has an effect on the sharpness
of your photos. Depth of field is exaggerated with
a wideangle. So you can usually achieve front-to-
back sharpness across the scene when using a
narrow aperture. What’s more, wideangles will
usually have a close minimum-focusing distance,
which means you can get right up close to your
subject, giving the impression of being right in
the thick of the action.

Wide landscapes
One of the best things about a wideangle is
the ability it gives you to include a detailed
foreground, distant scenery and big sky all in

one frame. However, with such a


wide field of view, it can be a
challenge to find enough interesting
objects to place within it. Landscape
photographers will often seek out
foreground interest – an interesting rock
formation, tree or winding river – that
leads the eye towards the distant scenery.
It’s this challenge of finding harmony
between foreground, background and

us take a more studied approach to

Using ilters
A selection of filters can be
very useful when shooting
with a wideangle. If you’re
including both land and sky
– as is often the case when
shooting wide – then a
graduated filter can help to
balance the two. A polariser
can also be useful for
enhancing skies and cutting
through reflections in foliage,
but be careful when shooting
blue skies, as the wide field
of view might result in uneven
dark patches, where the
polariser affects one part of
the sky more than another.
Lens flare can also be an
issue when pairing filters with
a wideangle as the lens hood
must usually be removed –

USA, OVERTOWN, MIAMI, FLORIDA, 2017. JESSICA © BRUCE GILDEN/MAGNUM PHOTOS


when you look at
Bruce Gilden’s
pictures? Are you
drawn in by a close-up look at the
human subject, or do they make
you feel a little bit uncomfortable?
Either way, it’s highly likely that
you’ll linger on them.
Magnum photographer Bruce
Gilden made his name for his
controversial photographic methods
in his home city of New York – his
images stand out from others who
usually play the role of passive
observer. Now 71, he’s shooting in
the street less (unless someone pays
him to do so) and concentrating on
posed portraits.
I met Bruce at this year’s Photo
London, where his ‘Farm Boys and
Farm Girls USA’ project was on
display at the Leica Collector’s
Lounge. Huge 40x60in prints
(available to buy for £9,000 ex VAT
if you’re interested), adorned the
walls, and were some of the most
arresting portraits at this year’s fair.
Although Gilden admits, ‘You’ll be
hard pressed to find anyone who
can do good pictures in the street
after 40 or 50,’ there are other
reasons why street photography
has lost its appeal. ‘A ll the cities,
the main cities – New York, Paris,
London – are becoming gentrified.

plane journeys and their large
carbon burden make expeditions
to far-flung wildlife destinations
available to only a few. However, all is not
lost – this is when, photographically, zoos,
wildlife parks and aquariums come into
their own. At first glance photographing
captive animals may seem a bit of a
doddle. You can choose the right day
and weather and, in theory, the animal
should perform right in front of your lens.
However, there are a number of small
pitfalls that you need to consider in order
to get the best from your images. Britain
has a large number of zoos, aquariums,
wildlife parks and bird of prey centres that
offer an incredible selection of exotic and
British animals for you to focus on.

Focus on a species
I always feel that targeting one or a small
number of species on each shoot is the key
to producing quality work. First, decide
which species you want to work with, for

such as weasels, foxes and otters.

When to visit
Choosing the right day can make or break a
shoot. Where possible avoid weekends and
bank holidays – the zoo will be crowded
making your photography stressful. The
weather can also play a huge part. Poor
weather such as rain can add atmosphere
to an image, but you need to check how it
may affect the animals you want to work
with. Winter can produce some superb
opportunities, but will the animals be
indoors avoiding the cold? Feeding times
are often advertised and should be checked
out because the activity can be intense and
very photogenic. Many wildlife parks,
particularly bird of prey centres, now

We’ve tried our hardest to ensure that the information in this guide is as complete and accurate as possible. However, some errors will inevitably
have crept in along the way: if you spot one, please let us know by emailing apti-media.com. We don’t have space to list every single product on
the market, so we don’t include the most expensive speciality optics such as long telephoto primes. Before making a major purchase we advise you
to double-check prices, along with any crucial specifications or requirements, with either a reputable retailer or the manufacturer’s website.

Final Analysis
Roger Hicks considers… ‘Farmer shoveling wheat
from wagon, Kansas,’ 1956, by Erich Hartmann

F
alse memory syndrome is often
associated with unpleasant
or traumatic events, but it’s
something that happens to all of
us to a greater or lesser extent; often with
trivial things we do not particularly want
either to remember or to forget.
Think back to when you were a child.
How many things do you really remember
clearly, and how many are traceable to, or
supplemented by, your parents repeatedly
retelling the story? If you tell the same
story now, how much of it comes from
your own memory and how much from
the story you’ve heard retold so often?
This line of inquiry can rapidly lead us
into archetypes and thence to clichés, but
as the late Sir Terry Pratchett said (in his
novel Guards! Guards!), clichés are the
hammers and screwdrivers in the toolbox
of communication. This may in turn lead
us to realise that clichés cease to be clichés
when they are done well enough.
All of which is relevant here. It is quite
easy to dismiss this picture by Erich
Hartmann (1922-1999) as a cliché, or at
the very least as a genre: honest toil, the
dignity of labour. There are even echoes of
socialist realism. But be honest: did that
unworthy thought occur to you until I
planted the idea? It isn’t a cliché because
it’s very well done.

Remembering reality
The archetypal overalls, the rolled-up
sleeves, the pose, the anonymity because
his face is hidden by his hat; it all comes
together. Next: have I ever seen someone
shovelling grain like this? I’ve seen roads
used as threshing floors in India, and
ox-carts in Portugal after the Carnation
Revolution of 1974. I’ve driven across the
United States seven times. At the annual fair
in a nearby village, hay-bale tossing is still a
popular competition. But; well; no, I don’t
think I have ever actually seen someone
shovelling grain from a wagon. It is however
of a piece with many things that I know, or

think I know, or remember from... well, to be


honest, photographs from the ’30s, ’40s
and ’50s. Any ‘memory’ of seeing such a
thing in real life is probably false. Only
‘probably’ though: I might have seen it.
This is, perhaps, a way to make a
great photograph. Make it fit people’s
preconceptions, memories and prejudices Roger Hicks has been writing about photography since 1981 and has published more than three dozen books on the subject, many
in such a way as to reinforce them; in partnership with his wife Frances Schultz (visit his new website at www.rogerandfrances.eu). Every week in this column Roger
whether grounded in reality or not. deconstructs a classic or contemporary photograph. Next week he considers an image by Jonny Henchman
