A picture of two halves: as an Afghan girl stares straight into the camera, light, shadow and color tell a story about confinement, with no need for words
If you like photography, you’ve probably heard it being described as “painting with light”. It’s a phrase that’s been in use for at least a century, but it’s never felt more relevant than looking at this picture, which has just been named Photo of the Year at the Siena International Photo Awards.Light is the first thing you see, and the thing that makes the biggest impression, as sun pours through patterned curtains into a small room. Then your eye moves right, past a wooden door, and you meet a woman’s gaze.Her name is Amina. She stands on the dark side…
“Obsession” star Inde Navarrette had quite the busy weekend, going from the Academy Museum Gala on Saturday to the Newport Beach Film Festival on Sunday. Navarrette attended the festival, which runs until Thursday in Newport Beach, as one of Variety’s 10 Actors to Watch, who were celebrated during the festival’s Honor Brunch. While speaking with Variety’s Marc Malkin at the festival’s carpet, Navarrette said attending the gala was “amazing.” “I mean, you’re just overwhelmed and kind of drowning in everybody that you have looked up to, possibly ever, and it’s just so lovely meeting people and the reception that ‘Obsession’…
Canon rates the EOS R6 Mark III at up to 8.5 stops of stabilization at the center of the frame and 7.5 stops at the periphery, depending on the lens. The footnote under that number says it was measured under the CIPA 2024 standard with an RF 24-105mm F2.8 L IS USM Z at 105mm. The footnote leaves out that the camera was bolted to a vibrating platform roughly two meters from a printed chart, in a room held near 23 degrees Celsius, and that the rating comes from at least 200 frames shot at every shutter speed in the…

Swayambhunath is an ancient Buddhist stupa situated on a hill west of central Kathmandu. It is known as the Monkey Temple because of the many monkeys living there. The complex is sacred to both Buddhists and Hindus and has a history dating back many centuries. At the top stands a white dome adorned with the Buddha’s distinctive eyes. The hillside is also home to smaller temples, monasteries, and numerous shrines. In the evenings, there is no single large fire ceremony there. Instead, the atmosphere is generally quieter, with people offering prayers and engaging in small devotional rituals. The…
While Saturday Night Live was off this weekend, its British counterpart pulled no punches in criticizing last week’s episode of the U.S. sketch comedy show. On Satuday, SNL UK‘s “Weekend Update” co-host Ania Magliano ended the segment with a joke about Shane Gillis, following his complaint during last weekend’s SNL opening monologue that “women just dress like whores now” at the gym. “A ride operator at Munich Oktoberfest was praised for giving out free cycling shorts to female riders. Wearing the gym shorts will protect women from being up-skirted, but it does make them vulnerable to something much worse,” said…
Jesse Eisenberg and Julianne Moore were full of love for each other as their latest team-up, The Debut, closed this year’s BFI London Film Festival. The musical-comedy has been on the festival circuit over the last few months. It stars Moore as Mona, a neglected housewife cast in a community theater production directed by Paul Giamatti’s Jerry. And the London Film Festival audience received the feature warmly, with one moment of raucous applause and plenty of laughter across the screening. The Debut‘s director and lead actress introduced the film up on stage, although Giamatti, Eisenberg said, could not be in…
Inflatable LED lights are one of those ideas that sound gimmicky. A soft, glowing tube you inflate like a pool toy, then use to light a portrait or paint with color in the dark. It’s the kind of gadget that could easily be all novelty and no substance. I wanted to answer a simple question for myself: do these things actually deliver usable results, or are they just a throwaway item destined for the back of a drawer? I tested the Neewer GC30C Inflatable LED Light to find out.Experimentation is nothing new for visual creatives, who all learn through trial…
