The Photographic paintings of Alexa Meade

type="html">


This video shows the works of 23-year-old artist Alexa Meade, who has a way of making her paintings look very real.


What she does is paint the subjects that she photographs, which makes them look just like paintings in a two-dimensional photo. It really turns a person into a real work of art. She says that kids really get into this the most, having to almost explain to the parents.


Can’t wait to see more of what Alexa has to offer.

Hasselblad H4D Ferrari Edition Official Launch

« Back to news

News image

The Hasselblad H4D Ferrari Edition, which was announced at Photokina, has now been officially launched and priced. Finished in a new Ferrari colour called rosso fuoco, or fire red, the Hasselblad H4D Ferrari Edition has been created in celebration of two of the most iconic European brands, both of which started their career in the 1950s. Limited to just 499 cameras worldwide, this special edition camera can be yours for €21,499.

Hasselblad Press Release

True Thoroughbreds run together

At first glance, sports cars and cameras may not seem to have that much in common. But with Hasselblad and Ferrari, two worldwide renowned companies born from the singular passions of two very unique men, there is a great deal of common ground. A passion for quality, for design, and for performance.

These two iconic brands have now collaborated on the creation of the H4D Ferrari, a limited edition of Hasselblad’s flagship camera. The H4D Limited Edition Ferrari camera, priced at 21,499 Euros, will be produced in only 499 units and will have special appeal to fans of both Ferrari and Hasselblad, who appreciate the innovation, quality and design that symbolize both brands.

Driving the world’s finest sports car changes the way you drive.

And shooting with the world’s finest camera does the same for your images. The Hasselblad H4D-40 features a 40 Megapixel medium format sensor and Hasselblad True Focus (making auto-focus substantially easier and more accurate), and gives you access to the world’s most advanced lenses, the Hasselblad HC/HCD line. The H4D Ferrari has been specially designed to provide the ultimate in both quality and performance. Just as the cars that inspired this special camera.

The Ferrari H4D-40 provides the perfect photographic accessory to the world’s finest driving machines. Produced in the new Ferrari “Rosso Fuoco” and bearing the legendary Cavallino Rampante, the camera comes with an 80mm lens and an exclusively designed and engineered glass display box, and will enable you to document life from the driver’s seat in a way you never before dreamed possible.

Thanksgiving: Weekly Photography Challenge

type="html">

Many of our readers are, as they read this, recovering from one of their biggest holidays of the year – Thanksgiving.


While I know not all DPS readers are in the US I thought the theme of Thanksgiving was something we all could participate in as we do this week’s photography challenge. We did this last year also and it was a great theme.


The challenge is to photograph something that you’re thankful for OR to share a thanksgiving shot that you took over the last few days – and then to share the shot in comments below.


Use your imagination and feel free to interpret the theme as you’d like. You might like to take a picture of a person, object or do something symbolic to show what you’re thankful for. Anything goes – all we ask is that you keep your shots to a family friendly standard.


Once you’ve taken your photos – choose your best 1-2, upload them to your favourite photo sharing site either share a link to them even better – embed them in the comments using the our new tool to do so.


If you tag your photos on Flickr, Twitter or other sites with Tagging tag them as #DPSTHANKS to help others find them. Linking back to this page might also help others know what you’re doing so that they can share in the fun.


Also – don’t forget to check out some of the great shots posted in last weeks Environmental Portrait Challenge.


I am looking forward to seeing what you’re thankful for!
