+ The challenges of location photography

Compact lighting tools, enormous exposure latitude with our Phase One P+ backs, powerful laptops, accurate LCD monitors and portable generators have transformed shooting locations into full production studios. The Phase One 645 Camera platform has been designed with the growth of location work in mind. With our product announcements before and at Photokina, we will add to the travel and on-location photographer's arsenal of tools!

This month we feature an article about rethinking the location kit by Peter Eastway, a review of the Phase One 645, P 45+ camera solution from Digital Photographer magazine and an article featuring Jens Honoré and his location work in Africa with micro banking group MYC4.

More and more in our industry are starting to understand that the point of photography is the subject, not the equipment, software or post-production. For Phase One, focusing on capture has been a key to our success. Our tools are designed to enhance a photographer’s workflow so that the moment and look of an image stays as unique as possible.

+ Capturing a better world

Solving some of the most pressing problems on a world scale needs a different way of thinking about each other and how we all fit. MYC4 is a micro banking group focused on Africa providing loans to those who would otherwise never get a chance. Jens Honoré was commissioned to document some of the incredible results for an exhibit to further publicize the MYC4 project. Jens approached this project in a completely different way with surprising results. Read about why Jens chose medium format over a DSLR and see more of his results. This is a powerful discussion of how equipment changes the look of an image. Read the PDF article here.
