The Phoblographer staff has been working behind the scenes on a few surprises: and our latest release is something really special. In our preset store, we're releasing the Mystery Boxes: 10 different random boxes filled with 5 different presets each. Recently, I've been digging…
I was in the library the weekend before last when I spotted something on the shelf of recently-returned books. Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. I knew the film adaptation was coming out later that week. Ideally, I’d like to read the book before seeing the film. It would be a r…
Olympus' Pen F has been an important camera for many reasons. However, despite it being over a decade, the company has not yet announced its successor. While there have been talks of such a device coming soon to replace the aging model, it has not happened yet. With uncertainty…
Tamron has been one of the popular third-party lens makers from Japan. The company gained recognition for its all-in-one zoom lenses, which has been beneficial for many serious enthusiasts around the world. However, what also set them apart was the price range. A zoom, we all kn…
When I first got into photography, my photojournalism professor always taught me to never use flash. Why? Honestly, I'm still not sure. But I had good mentors when I worked at B&H Photo over a decade ago. They completely changed my understanding of why you'd use a flash. For…
Whether one likes it or not, Canon has some truly impressive cameras available in the second-hand market. One of the reasons to buy it used is that not only does one get a device at a discounted rate, but also that technology hasn't changed drastically over the past decade. A ca…
The December Adventure in March has come and gone. It was chill and good, but also maybe not chill enough? A week is a very short period of time, and I saw a lot of folks mentioning that they were stressed or guilty at not being able to find the time or energy to adventure. I s…
The Wildlife Photographer of the Year had announced the winners of its prestigious awards in October 2025, but the results of the Nuveen People’s Choice Award were still in progress. After a series of intense voting sessions over a month, the viewers of the award have finally…

“Feminism is far from dead, but people love to write its obituary,” writes Rebecca Solnit. “In reality, it’s naively defeatist to assume millennia of patriarchy…could be or should have been fully disassembled in one lifetime.”
We watched Zoolander last night and right before the Derelicte DJ throws on Relax, there’s a 2-second snippet of something that sounded super familiar. It took me a bit to track it down, but it’s trance banger Free by Mono Culture.
In 2025, I started to do things that otherwise would seem crazy for a publisher of a niche photography online magazine to do. For starters, this year, the Phoblographer may actually make a printed magazine again. But in addition to that, we didn't sell any ads to the big camera…
A new edition of On Liberty, a canonical work of political philosophy, “is the first to officially name Harriet Taylor Mill as a co-author alongside John Stuart Mill”.
Fujifilm cameras have a cult following. The company has introduced models that meet the needs of both professionals and amateurs. While their latest models are pretty great on their own, the biggest challenge is the price point, which makes the offerings inaccessible. But worry…
“COVID probably killed 150,000 more people in its first two years than official U.S. tolls show”. Not surprising when you look at excess mortality numbers for that period.
When it comes to APS-C cameras, there are only a handful of companies pushing the boundaries. Fujifilm is one name that pops up, but then you also see Nikon's name in the list. However, when one thinks about sports photography, a genre that requires really quick burst speed, the…
