Camera Store Mocks Photos Taken With Phones in Spoof of Apple's iPhone Ads

Posted in: Uncategorized

Apple’s “Shot on iPhone 6” print and outdoor ads, featuring real photos taken by real iPhone 6 users, has been very popular since its launch in early 2015, even picking up a Grand Prix award at Cannes. But of course, not every photo taken with an iPhone, or any smartphone, looks quite as perfect as that campaign would suggest.

Lens & Shutter, a three-location photography store chain in Canada, specializing in DSLR cameras, reminds its target market of the limitations of smartphone cameras in a fun parody of the Apple campaign—featuring the line “Shot on a phone.”

Everyone in This Amazing Stock Photo Collection Is a Cancer Patient or Survivor

Posted in: Uncategorized

Nowhere is the world more carefree than inside stock photographs. The sense of normalcy they communicate is so pervasive, it’s become cliché. Which is why it’s such a stroke of genius that Isobar Poland is developing a stock-photo bank using only models who are cancer patients or survivors.

Life for them, of course, has been anything but carefree. Thus, their involvement in the “Photos for Life” project is joyfully defiant on a few levels. It shows cancer isn’t a death sentence—indeed, that patients and survivors are just as capable of the most stereotypical happiness possible. And it lifts the gloom from the disease and bathes it in ridiculously perfect lighting.

Prices start at $75 for use on the web and in magazine, or as little as $8 for personal use. All profits go to the Rak’n’Roll Win Your Life! foundation to finance therapy for cancer patients. More images below.

Instagram Users Are Obsessed With Recreating Its Logo, and the Results Are Quite Wonderful

Posted in: Uncategorized

You don’t hear a lot of users gushing about their social networks these days, but Instagram seems to be a noticeable exception—as illustrated by the recent trend of photographers creating artistic homages to its logo.

Hundreds of people having been posting their interpretations to the photo network, using objects that range from the obvious end of the spectrum—rocks, seashells, and candy—to the unusual, like axes and dog treats. Coffee cups are popular, as are lenses from actual cameras.

Many of them appear under the hashtag #myinstagramlogo. There’s a pretty astounding level of diversity and creativity in the mix, and all in all it makes for a nice example of consumers putting their own stamp on a product they’re passionate about.

Some of the versions are quite abstract, though. Out of context, one might just look like, for example, an odd (if pretty) flower arrangement, or a pepperoni pizza.

So is this an official marketing promotion created by Instagram, or was the Facebook-owned brand at least behind the original idea? If so, there’s no obvious evidence. We’ve contacted the brand to find out and will update you if we hear back.

Check out some of our favorites below.

Striking Portraits of People Lying in Their Own Trash Show How We Get in Bed With Brands

Posted in: Uncategorized

Photographer Gregg Segal is fascinated by the trash we make.

In his artist statement about this ongoing series, he explains “‘Seven Days of Garbage’ is a series of portraits of friends, neighbors, and other acquaintances with the garbage they accumulate in the course of a week. Subjects are photographed surrounded by their trash in a setting that is part nest, part archeological record. We’ve made our bed and in it we lie.”

“Of course, there were some people who edited their stuff. I said, ‘Is this really it?’ I think they didn’t want to include really foul stuff so it was just packaging stuff without the foul garbage. Other people didn’t edit and there were some nasty things that made for a stronger image,” Segal said in an interview with Slate.

This series is a beautifully executed, albeit sordid case study on what we consume, and the products we polish off and discard—a veritable brand graveyard. There’s a truly poetic quality about these images; they really boil us down to the insatiably ravenous animals we are and the relationships we have with all of the crap we buy.

Mom Gets Burned by Facebook for This Remake of Coppertone's Classic Ad

Posted in: Uncategorized

Facebook takes its no-nudity policy very seriously—so seriously that one mom found herself banned from the network for 24 hours after posting what she thought was an innocent remake of Coppertone’s original tan-line-revealing ad from the 1950s.

During a trip to the beach, North Carolina photographer Jill White took a snapshot of her 2-year-old daughter’s back—including, true to the sunscreen brand’s famous imagery, a naked part of her daughter’s butt—while one of her daughter’s friend’s played the part of swimsuit-yanking cocker spaniel.

When White shared the shot on Coppertone’s Facebook page, some commenters complained, and Facebook asked White to delete the photo or limit its viewing by applying stricter privacy settings. After she ignored the request, she was locked out for a day.

Facebook says it didn’t find White’s image to be pornographic. But it’s far from the social media site’s first flap over censorship, especially related to mothers and their offspring. After years of struggling to consistently police breastfeeding photos, Facebook just last month began allowing exposed female nipples in breastfeeding photos (and even that got off to a rough start).

Once Facebook let White back on, she reposted the shot—covering the offending bare-ass bit with a puckered emoji (+1 to mom, for the sass). Looking at the censored version of the image, it is difficult to imagine the uncensored one being anything but harmless. Yet Coppertone has been making its own imagery more demure in recent decades, though it still sparks debate about whether the branding is inappropriate—and if so, why.

Regardless, it’s pretty clear that it’s natural to err on the side of protecting children. It’s also natural for a mother to bristle at the implication she is somehow not protecting her child, especially when the notion seems irrational. But mostly, it’s natural for Facebook to err on the side of trying to cover its own ass.
