This Week in Photo

This week on TWiP, Adobe releases a beta of Lightroom 5, a photographer uses Criagslist to track down a thief who stole his photography gear, and Dove Canada releases a Photoshop Trojan Horse to shame potential body-shamers. Plus another Critique of the Week, Listener Q&A, and our Picks of the Week.

Sears and Walmart shutter their portrait studios. A new Facebook app enables users to create photo products from your images – without your permission. HTC and Facebook collaborate on a new social media ready phone. A discussion about how far you are willing to go to get the shot. Plus an interview with Varina and Jay Patel!

This week on TWiP, Jared ‘Fro Knows Photo’ Polin, and Jeffrey ‘No Fro’ Totaro, join ‘Fro’derick Van Johnson for a fun and lively discussion about imitating vs. originating. Frederick also sits down for a special interview with Matt Granger – That Nikon Guy. Plus we have our regular Critique of the Week, Listener Q&A, and Picks of the Week segments. All this and more on TWiP #301!

After the rabid success of our last Transporter giveaway, the generous folks over at Connected Data have allowed us to hand out another device to one lucky winner.

Join the celebration as we clink our glasses to mark 300 episodes of This Week in Photo! On tap today: Canon’s big vision – the small or petite dslr, a photographer sues his subject?! St. NIK comes early. And an eyebrow-raising interview with lots of great insights with Jared Polin of FroKnowsPhoto.
