Snapshot Magazine No. 68: "Behind The Scenes

The new snapshot "Behind The Scenes" is here!

The new snapshot is here and is now ready for you in the store and will be included in your packages from the end of September.

Snapshot Magazine 67 Humor

Dear Photographers,
from one of the most important photographers in history, Henri Cartier-Bresson, comes the quote "A good photograph is one that you look at for more than a second." Decades later, the quote is more relevant than ever, might even need to be modified to "a fraction of a second." Nowadays, we all have thousands of photos on our smartphones and scroll over countless images on Instagram and Co. in record time. "Goodphotos" are now usually already "very special photos". They stand out from the crowd and you get stuck with them. The pondering begins. How was it taken? Is it a lucky snapshot or an elaborate project? In this issue we want to look behind the scenes with you and search for the magic and energy that drives the artists. When we look at a photo, we usually only see the finished result, but not the creative process and the effort that often goes into it. It is not uncommon for entire teams to be behind a shot or project. In many photos, the shooting situation can be guessed at. With others, however, the brain begins to search directly for the where, how and why. Some images seem to be simply realized, but they are absolutely not.
For others, it's the other way around. As diverse as photography is, so diverse are the approaches and perhaps even more diverse are the stories behind them.We hope that the photographers in this magazine will give you a good insight and inspire you to try new things. In any case, we hope you enjoy reading it!
If you like the issue or have any constructive criticism, feel free to write to us at an:
schnappschuss@fotokoch.de.

Of course you can read the magazine digitally as e-paper here. As mentioned in the beginning, you will find the printed version of Schnappschuss in many mail-order parcels from mid-August and in our Düsseldorf store from now on.

Photography with color filter

Working with blocking filters had its heyday in the purely analog era. Due to the wide dynamic range of digital sensors and, above all, the possibilities of image processing, the topic has been somewhat forgotten. But in times when AI & Co. are becoming more and more popular, many photographers are going back to basics. These color filters serve the purpose of blocking certain colors from an image, because not every colored light can enter through a filter. These filters are available in a wide variety of colors, the following are common: Green, red, orange, yellow and blue.
