Watch Apple’s Intro of the iPhone 7’s New Camera Features

Apple just announced the new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, a smartphone it calls "the world's most advanced smartphone."

I remember the first time I picked up a digital camera. It was 2003 and I got this little Canon G5, a good point-and-shoot, and it was 5 megapixels.

A group of vandals have been caught on camera destroying an iconic rock formation on the Oregon coast known as Duckbill Rock or Thor's Fist, prompting many to both mourn the icon's loss, and call for justice against the videotaped vandals.

NASA recently released a shocking slide show that shows, picture-by-picture, the death of what was once the fourth largest lake on Earth. Known as the Aral Sea, this endothermic lake is now mostly an arid wasteland.

A cafe based in Dublin, Ireland, rubbed photographers the wrong way today by poking fun at a photographer who had requested credit for a photo used without her permission.

Myths and misconceptions persist because they're either compelling or no one bothers to correct them. For photographers, many myths of digital photography arose when trying to draw imperfect analogies to film photography.

To promote the second season of its post-apocalyptic zombie TV show Z Nation, Syfy recently released an interactive choose your own adventure game called Find Murphy that was shot from a first person point of view. The footage was captured using a special face-mounted Sony a7S mirrorless camera.

The winners of the 2016 Australian Professional Photography Awards were announced last week, and one of Australia's top photographers isn't happy with the selections. He says the prestigious awards have been "hijacked by manipulators" whose work should be considered illustrations rather than photographs.

Canon hasn't given up on the EOS M series of mirrorless cameras. In fact, it seems they're preparing to launch what might be considered the "next chapter" in the M-line: The EOS M5. And today we get our first look at it.

Fujifilm just brought its Instax instant film into the world of black-and-white photography with the unveiling of its new Instax Mini Film Monochrome.

When photographers think of my country they think of windmills, Amsterdam, and tulips. These are generally the most photographed subjects in the Netherlands. What they don't know is that my country turns purple in August.

The consumer camera market is dead. Buried. Worm food. And if camera manufacturers don't switch their focus to enthusiasts fast, they'll lose them too. That seems to be the core thesis behind this interesting industry breakdown by photographer and educator Tony Northrup.

So this was the first sunset I captured in 2012. It cost me $6,612 to take this photo.

With Photokina coming up later this month, we'll soon have a good chance to see whether Nikon is playing to their competencies or incompetencies with their next round of announcements. Every company has some core competencies that can't be denied. What are Nikon's?

In 1871, the Prevention of Crimes Act made it a legal requirement that anybody who was arrested in England and Wales had to have their photograph taken—thus was born the official "mug shot". But mug shots from the late 1800s look very different from the ones you might see today.

Sails Chong of Studio NEXT-IMAGE is one of the most creative wedding and couple photographers in the world. His compositions are gorgeous and he seems to be constantly pushing the envelope. Here's a quick peek at two of his latest pre-wedding shoots... explosions included.

Film photographers sick of the same-old who want to try something totally different definitely need to give Film Washi a look. The self-styled "world's smallest film company" just started making its signature black-and-white film "W" in 35mm format!

As with most creatives, when I have a concept in mind it will distract and consume me until it becomes a reality. I wanted to create a conceptual self-portrait that was dreamlike, surreal, and relevant to an inner conflict in my life.

French criminologist (and high school dropout) Alphonse Bertillon was a pioneer in the field of anthropometry – the use of human measurements – to identify criminals. As a part of this practice, Bertillon standardized the modern mugshot in 1888 with the now familiar frontal and profile portrait, the latter of which was selected because Bertillon believed the ears to be a highly identifiable characteristic.

The most appreciated photography project on all of Behance this week is also probably the most touching portrait project you've seen in a while. A simple series of portraits, the project embarked to send one simple message: smiles don't get old.
