This Week in Photo

This week on TWiP: Three short interviews with three good friends of the show. First, Frederick interviews Brooks Institute’s Chris Orwig on how photographers can develop their individual style. Brian Fischer is up next with a look at the recent Blog World and New Media Expo. Finally, Don Komarechka is on hand to set the record straight on Canadian copyright.

This week on the show, Canadian photographers rejoice over changes to their copyright laws, interesting new photography trends emerge, a Brazilian model uses Hurricane Sandy’s aftermath as a backdrop for a photo shoot, SmugMug responds to “passionate feedback”, and Bruce Clarke chats with Gerard Murphy from Mosaic.

This week, join the conversation as Frederick Van Johnson hosts copyright experts Ed Greenberg and Jack Reznicki to talk about the legal considerations of the photography trade. In this special interview, glean tips, practical pointers and 3 to-do’s to get your business onto the right side of the law.

The original intent of the patent process was to prevent damage, but not stifle innovation. Unfortunately, the tech industry is currently being throttled by stifling patents and frequently the trolls that pursue them.

This week on TWiP: Is Pinterest helpful or harmful for photographers? The Daily Mirror uses a stolen image to illustrate a story about serial killers, a photographer kills the subject he was sent to cover, and Frederick sits down for a chat with photographer Dan Alban to talk about running a brick and mortar studio.
