Is it a painting or is it a photo? I think the answer is both!

07/01/2026

There truly are no limits to how creative you can be with photography. While it can be as simple as pressing the shutter to take your standard portrait, Tarryn Goldman, a photographer based in South Africa, is blurring the lines between photography and painting with a new series of creative fine art portraits that look exactly like Impasto artworks.

While asking “What is fine art photography” she came up with a process that involved not only painting a background but painting a model to fit the scene and aesthetically. Fine art photography is about more than just seeing the lens,

Famously fierce and elusive, wolverines are a rare sight in the Canadian wilderness, even for researchers. As such, glimpsing one in a city the size of Calgary is almost unbelievable.

“It made quite a racket,” said Gordon Cooke, one of the photographers. “I had no idea what it was until it broke out into the open and I got a couple shots of it.”

A few of his images captured the wolverine perched

Tavus taps generative AI to power personalized videos with voice and face cloning

15/09/2024

Generative AI is already looking like the major tech trend of 2023. The ability to generate fresh content via algorithms has been thrust into the public consciousness by the likes of ChatGPT, a chatbot-style technology trained on large language models (LLMs) capable of producing essays, poems, lyrics, news articles, and even computer programs. And then there’s DALL-E, from the same Microsoft-backed OpenAI that spawned ChatGPT, which serves a similar purpose but for visual creations instead.

While some have argued that ChatGPT signals AI’s arrival into the mainstream, the truth of the matter is we’re just at the start of a

Maria Emelianova and the art of chess photography

19/06/2023

Two people hunched over a black and white checkered board, deliberating what moves they will make, how their opponent might counter and how they might counter that counter, with barely a flicker of emotion passing over their faces.

At first glance, it’s a sport that doesn’t seem the most vibrant or colorful or particularly dynamic, which makes the art of capturing its drama and excitement more complex than most sports photography.

Maria Emelianova is a leading chess photographer, tasked with traveling the world to document the highs and lows of the sport.

With over 10 years of experience, Emelianova has
