    In the past month, we explored a range of iconic images, each with their own unique elements. However, what's fascinating is the common thread that runs through these portraits: each photograph uses light, form, and setting in a captivating manner to tell a compelling story. Whether it's the strong narrative elements in Ritts' "Fred with Tires," the timeless elegance in Avedon's "Dovima with Elephants," or the raw power captured in Sander's "Powerhouse Mechanic," each image draws us into a different world while maintaining these core artistic principles. Click on the thumbnails to view the images in a lightbox and select your favourite photo. We're keen to see which one stands out for you! Feel free to elaborate on your choice in the comments section.

    Which is your favourite iconic photograph: Ritts' "Fred with Tires," Avedon's "Dovima with Elephants," or Hine's "Powerhouse Mechanic"?

    • I remember seeing this photo almost two decades ago when I was just starting in photography. The way it arranged so much beauty in a tight, triangular formation of bodies really struck me. It had a big impact on how I view great photography.

    • I love this picture. It’s not nearly as risky as ‘Lunch Atop a Skyscraper,’ but I wonder what health and safety experts would say today about 30 models posing on window frames and a photographer hanging from a fire escape. 😰

  • What is your opinion on the Lightroom Classic V13 Splash Screen?
    No offence to the photographer, but truth be told, we think it’s terrible. By the way, Version 13 also keeps on crashing. Anyone else have the same experience with it?

    • I think this image portrays exactly the sort of woke culture we are currently experiencing, this is a gender neutral image, its really a very uninspiring image.

    • Some interesting new tools in the update. I have played with the background blur. Every now and again it would seem like LrC is processing a bit longer, but I haven’t experienced a crash…but then I may not have pushed it enough!
