Wildlife photographer Sumio Harada to present at FVCC

Anyone can come across a variety of animals in Glacier National Park. However, it takes patience and time to see how animals live their lives in the park — something that is not lost on wildlife photographers such as Sumio Harada.

On Dec. 20 at Flathead Valley Community College, the West Glacier-based photographer and videographer will present breathtaking images of animals in their natural habitats, highlighting the importance of preserving their ecosystems. Audiences will get a glimpse into the daily lives of bears, goats and mountain lions as they breed, hunt forage, hibernate and give birth.

This month, Harada found himself on the other side of the lens as he was followed by a Japanese film crew in Many Glacier to document him while at work for a 2024 TV program. People who attend the presentation, which is hosted by Glacier National Park Volunteer Associates, will get to see behind-the-scenes footage of the challenges and rewards of wildlife photography along with the dedication and commitment required to capture these extraordinary moments. 

Sumio will share his experiences setting up camp in the snowy wilderness, battling freezing temperatures and braving the elements to get the perfect shot.

Born in Japan, Harada studied biology at the Tokyo University of Agriculture. His research on the behavior of the Japanese serow, a close relative of the mountain goat, led to his wildlife photography career. He started taking photographs of mountain goats in the Canadian Rockies in 1987. In 1989 and 1991, Sumio stayed in Glacier National Park. In 1994, he moved to West Glacier with his wife and daughter.  

Harada’s photos have appeared in magazines such as “National Geographic,” “National Wildlife” “Ranger Rick,” “Geo” and “Montana Outdoors,” and books titled, “Wild Harmony of Glacier National Park,” and “Mountain Goats of Glacier National Park.”

The presentation will be held at 7 p.m. in the FVCC Arts and Technology building.

Why Victoria Hervey’s shocking photographs are nothing new in the turbulent family saga

Why Victoria Hervey’s shocking photographs are nothing new in the turbulent family saga

“I could no longer stay silent,” said Lady Victoria Hervey. In an interview this week, the aristocratic TV star and journalist, 47, detailed allegations of horrific abuse towards her sister, Lady Isabella Hervey, by Isabella’s ex-husband Christophe de Pauw. 

Hervey, the eldest daughter of the 6th Marquess of Bristol, said her sister had been “broken” by the alleged mental and physical abuse, which she claimed included de Pauw punching Isabella in hospital soon after she had given birth.

She posted pictures of her sister’s injuries on her Instagram account, where she has more than half a million followers. “I have been really fearing for [Isabella’s] safety and mental wellbeing,” she told Mail Online.

“She was feeling that nothing was ever going to improve, and nobody was going to find out what he was really like.”

Isabella, 41, a model and reality TV star, and de Pauw, a Belgian businessman, were married in 2014 but separated in August. They have two sons and a daughter.

Victoria said she was pushed into going public after watching her sister being worn down. 

“She was just so broken, and so depressed about the whole thing. A lot of it has been mental abuse, making her feel s–t all of the time, as well as physical abuse.”

In text accompanying the Instagram pictures, Victoria made allegations of infidelity against Mr de Pauw. “Christophe de Pauw should be put away,” she wrote. “He is a serial abuser. It has got to a point that we can no longer stay silent.”

In a separate interview last week, Isabella had made similar accusations. “There are many more images and videos, but the mental abuse was, for me, the worst.”

The Telegraph has contacted Mr de Pauw for comment.

The grim allegations mark the latest episode in a family saga that has been dogged by tragedy and notoriety for hundreds of years. The 1st Earl of Bristol, John Hervey, was a Whig politician who was given the title as a reward for his loyalty during the Glorious Revolution. 

He had 20 children, including John, the 2nd Baron Hervey. An aristocratic literary type, John was embroiled in a tussle of love with the Prince of Wales over Anne Vane, and fought a duel with William Pulteney over a seditious pamphlet. 

He was known to be bisexual, and had a 10-year relationship with a man, too.

The 3rd Earl of Bristol, Augustus Hervey, was a decorated 18th-century naval officer with a chequered personal life. In 1744, he married Elizabeth Chudleigh, a notable courtesan and courtier. Twenty years later he paid Ann Elliot, an actress, to come off the stage to be his mistress.

Later, he took another mistress, Mary Nesbitt, who had been a model for the painter Joshua Reynolds. The family during this period were endlessly short of money. Frederick, the 4th Earl of Bristol, died on the road in Italy in 1803, having had his assets seized by Napoleon’s troops. 

There followed a period of relative calm until the 20th century, when the 6th Marquess of Bristol, Victor Hervey, Victoria and Isabella’s father, brought the family roaring back into the newspapers.

A playboy aristocrat who married three times and was nicknamed The Reptile, he did much to undo the work the Victorian Earls had done in making the Herveys respectable again.

Born in 1915, Victor went to Eton and Sandhurst, but was asked to leave the latter for bad behaviour. As a young man, he developed a penchant for theft, which led to his becoming the ringleader of a gang of jewellery robbers from well-to-do families who were known as the Mayfair Playboys.

This was the era of Raffles, the gentleman thief, but there was nothing civilised about some of their activities.

In December 1937, four of the gang were arrested for the violent robbery of a Cartier boss, whom they had lured to a hotel in Mayfair before coshing him and stealing £13,000 worth of diamond rings.

While Victor was not involved in that incident, and would complain people unfairly associated him with it, in 1939 he was sent to prison for three years for stealing more than £5,000 worth of jewellery, rings and fur from two properties in Park Lane and Mayfair. 

The Recorder at the Old Bailey described him as the “mainspring of the conspiracy”, adding that “the way of the amateur criminal is hard, but the way of the professional is disastrous”. On hearing the verdict, his upstanding father, the diplomat and politician Herbert Hervey, wept in court.

Unlike some gentleman thieves, Victor needed the money. In 1937 he had declared bankruptcy, with debts of £123,000, more than £8 million in today’s money, having come unstuck trying to sell arms to both sides during the Spanish Civil War. Eventually his arms trading came good – he was one of Franco’s leading dealers – and he amassed a fortune estimated at £50 million

 The eccentric stories continued. A couple arriving for a shooting weekend in Sussex in the 1960s at Ickworth, the family seat, noticed Victor leaning from an upper window. As they drove nearer, he opened fire, forcing them to run for cover.

A family friend recalled passing the Bag O’Nails, a pub on Buckingham Palace Road, in London, where they were told Victor had “emptied a revolver into the ceiling”. He told a friend, Moira Lister, that he had shot two men in a mutiny whilst treasure-hunting on Cocos Island off the coast of Costa Rica.

A photo later surfaced of Victor, from the incident in Cocos Island, “standing with his foot on four dead bodies”. In 1979, six years before Victor died, he moved his family to Monte Carlo, vowing never to set foot in the UK again.

Sorrier tales were to come. Victor married three times and had six children: a son, John, and a stillborn daughter, Anne, by his second wife, Lady Juliet Wentworth-Fitzwilliam, and four, including Victoria and Isabella, by his third wife, Yvonne Marie Hervey. John, Victor’s heir, born in 1954, had an unhappy life from the start, despite his wealth and titles. Victor treated him cruelly. 

A school friend of John’s at Harrow, Jamie Spencer-Churchill, said that Victor “created the monster that John became”. Openly gay and hedonistic, John was a fixture of the British tabloids in the 1970s and 1980s thanks to a stream of reported incidents: opening a champagne fridge by firing a shotgun at it; dodging a traffic jam on the M11 by driving at 140mph on the hard shoulder; constant cocaine and heroin use.

A friend remembered a party of John’s in a private suite at Claridge’s. “All the cocaine was on the left-hand side of the mantelpiece, and all the heroin was on the right. In lines,” he said. “You took whichever one you liked.” He was jailed twice on drugs charges and died in 1999, having lost Ickworth as well as the rest of his fortune. His half-brother Nicholas had died by suicide the year before.

Victoria became famous in the 1990s, the heiress-apparent to Tamara Beckwith and Tara Palmer-Tomkinson in the pantheon of witty aristocratic blonde party girls. Speaking about John in a Guardian interview in 2001, Lady Victoria Hervey described him as “evil”.

“What happened to him was just awful,” she added. “When you see someone lose everything, it puts you off. I mean he blew everything.” 

In recent years she has not shied from controversy. A sometime girlfriend of Prince Andrew’s, she backed Ghislaine Maxwell’s remarks that the notorious photo of him with his arm around then 17-year-old Virginia Giuffre was “fake”.

 “At the end of the day he says he’s never met her and he’s always stood by that,” she said. “If you look at everything, even when they did settle [out of court]… he didn’t apologise because why would he apologise?”

More recently she has embraced conspiracy theories, saying in 2021 that the Covid vaccine was part of a play by Bill Gates “to depopulate the world”. 

Isabella started out as a model before several appearances in reality TV programmes.

She won the second series of Channel 4’s athletics competition The Games and subsequently appeared on Celebrity Love Island, Celebrity Masterchef and Sky’s Cirque De Celebrité.

Recently she has become an elite cyclist, representing the UK at the UCI championships in Glasgow. “I didn’t want to publicise all this, as I’m a private person, but things have got worse and worse this year,” she told the Mail after the split. 

In another Instagram caption, Victoria said she was sharing “to give other women the courage to speak out as it took my sister a long time.” 

The Herveys are due some happiness. 

Rembrandt prints hit the spot

By in Art World News

Rembrandt prints hit the spot

Rembrandt proved the success story of the Old Masters season in London, though not, as expected, for his rediscovered “Adoration of the Kings” (c1628); that sold for below its £10mn-£15mn estimate with just one bid at £9.5mn (£11mn with fees) at Sotheby’s on December 6. While still the highest price of the season, demand for Rembrandt was more marked for Christie’s dedicated sale of 69 prints, from the collection of the mail-order businessman and broad-ranging collector Sam Josefowitz.

These all sold on December 7 for a total £6.3mn (£7.9mn with fees, est £3.1mn-£4.7mn), with bidding online coming from as far afield as China and Australia, as well as in the saleroom and over the phone. Top lot of the sale — and the last conducted by Christie’s star auctioneer Jussi Pylkkänen — was St Jerome (c1653), which sold for £1.25mn (£1.6mn with fees, est £500,000-£700,000).

Josefowitz, who died in 2015, was introduced to Rembrandt’s engravings by a chance meeting on a flight with the American art dealer Ira Gale in 1969. His provenance, associated with scholarly quality, helped keep prices for the prints high, though an “Ecce Homo” from 1655, with the highest estimate put on the Josefowitz Rembrandts (£1mn-£1.5mn), failed to sell earlier in the day. A print from the same etching state at Sotheby’s sold from the estate of the Greek shipping magnate George Embiricos for £400,000 (£508,000 with fees).

Overall, Sotheby’s mixed-owner evening sale came in just under its low estimate at £16.2mn (£19.4mn with fees) while Christie’s nudged within estimates at £17.9mn (£21.9mn with fees).

‘Saint Jerome Reading in an Italian Landscape’ by Rembrandt, which sold for £1,552,500 (est £500,000-£700,000)

There are only 25 recorded Pop period (1962-66) paintings by Pauline Boty, who encapsulated London’s Swinging Sixties with her blonde bob, black eyeliner and colourful, politically attuned art — and five of them are in a show at Gazelli Art House (until February 24). These include her 1962 work of the actor Jean-Paul Belmondo, which sold at Sotheby’s last year for an artist record of £1.2mn. While this is not back on the market, says the gallery’s George Lionel Barker, archival photographs of Boty taken by Michael Ward and also on show are £3,000.

Boty died in 1966 aged only 28, of a tumour for which she refused chemotherapy as she was pregnant, and much of the work to bring her back into the limelight has been done by her sister-in-law, Bridget Boty, and the curator and art historian Sue Tate. Both are among the talking heads in a documentary about the artist, due to be screened at the gallery next year. The film’s writer and co-producer, Vinny Rawding, says that while there is much hardship associated with Boty — her widower and daughter both also died in tragic circumstances — his film is “a celebration of her life, bringing her back in the conversation as a Pop pioneer, standing shoulder to shoulder with [David] Hockney and [Peter] Blake”.

Greece’s Eurobank Asset Management has bought a minority stake in Mintus, a platform that fractionalises art for private individuals which launched last year. “It is a real confidence boost for us and for the art market, this was not done on a whim,” says Ben Clark, who became president of Mintus this year. The level of investment from Eurobank, which manages €5bn of assets, has not been disclosed.

Mintus was founded by Tamer Ozmen, previously a senior executive at Microsoft; investors buy into the regulated funds with a minimum $3,000, enabling private wealth banks “to offer a diversification play to their high-net-worth clients”, Clark says. Mintus launched with paintings by Andy Warhol and George Condo, initially valued at £3.8mn and £2.1mn respectively.

The art market has softened this year, particularly at the higher end. Clark says that this is likely to have an impact on the works they offer, which will be at more “accessible” values. (There are no updated valuations for the already purchased works.) The Eurobank investment enables Mintus to be “more active” in the art market next year, while its strategy could include other alternative assets, Clark says. Investment in these is expected nearly to double to $24.5tn by 2028, according to a recent report by industry data provider Preqin.

There’s never a dull moment at the Cromwell Place gallery hub these days. Having appointed curator and Turner Prize judge Helen Nisbet as its first chief executive and artistic director in August, and having recently announced an £2mn revamp of its buildings, the latest news is that chief operating officer Kathryn Waring and chief business development officer Elizabeth Dellert are leaving at the end of this year.

“We are going through a transformation and had to reassess the scale of our senior team,” Nisbet says. She promises more details of the new-look Cromwell Place early next year, saying that this “will include a curated programme that supports experimental art and more focused national and international partnerships, alongside the commercial galleries, who are very much a part of this”.

‘I’s Above Me, As Below’ (2021) by Christina Quarles, among limited-edition prints for sale at South London Gallery

For anyone looking for a last-minute Christmas present that benefits a charitable cause, South London Gallery has a set of five prints by some of today’s most in-demand artists for £12,000 (edition of 45). All proceeds for the signed works — by Alvaro Barrington, Rashid Johnson, Gabriel Orozco, Christina Quarles and Haegue Yang — will go to the institution, which, like many, has been looking for new ways to raise money as public funding cuts loom. The price might be a little higher than for the average gift but, notes art adviser and SLG patron Janna Lang, the Johnson print alone (“Seascape”, 2021) can retail at £50,000 — so, for once, everyone could be a winner.

The Best Budget Zoom Lenses for Professional Photographers

By in Photography

The Best Budget Zoom Lenses for Professional Photographers

A professional photographer is one that makes more of their taxable income from photography that’s been contracted to them. In most cases, they don’t have a lot of money to spend. Luckily, Tamron has been making pretty exceptional lenses for mirrorless cameras for several years now. And more than any other third-party brand, we tend to throw our weight behind them. So here are the best budget zoom lenses for professional photographers. Know that we’ve reviewed all of these, too.

This article is presented in partnership with Tamron.

How We Test and Choose the Best Budget Zoom Lenses for Professional Photographers

  • The Phoblographer’s various product round-up features are done in-house. Our philosophy is simple: you wouldn’t get a Wagyu beef steak review from a lifelong vegetarian. And you wouldn’t get photography advice from someone who doesn’t touch the product. We only recommend gear we’ve fully reviewed in these roundups.
  • If you’re wondering why your favorite product didn’t make the cut, there’s a chance it’s on another list. If we haven’t reviewed it, we won’t recommend it. This method keeps our lists packed with industry-leading knowledge. Some of our stories include affiliate links. If you buy something through one of these links, we may earn an affiliate commission.
  • When we test lenses, we’ve got various things in mind. First off, we consider who might want to buy the lens and what they might do with it. With that in mind, we try to tackle at least three genres of photography with that lens in a variety of situations. If the lens has weather resistance, then we’ll test it accordingly with a weather-resistant camera. We also test the autofocus of the lens in continuous mode, single mode, with exposure preview effects, without those effects, and then with all the major image quality parameters. These days, no one really makes a bad lens — but some are far better than others.
  • In this specific roundup, we’re basing our findings on the reviews that we’ve done. We’re choosing a favorite, but we’re also giving photographers a bunch of others that they might like, depending on how they shoot.

Our Choice for the Best Budget Zoom Lens for Professional Photographers: Tamron 35-150mm f2-2.8 Di III VXD

It’s really nearly impossible to beat this thing. For several photographers, the Tamron 35-150mm f2-2.8 Di III VXD is the only lens they need. Available for both Sony FE and Nikon Z mount, it gives professional photographers the most frequently used focal lengths in just one lens. Tamron packed sharp image quality, speedy autofocus, superior build quality, and other cool features including a built-in USB port to update the firmware and customize the lens for your still of video shooting style. And that firmware tells a story since the lens has been optimized to be faster focusing at least once.

What We Think

In our review, we state:

“The first time Tamron’s colors really hit me was when they came out with their 35mm f1.8 and 85mm f1.8 for DSLR cameras. The colors from the Tamron 35-150mm f2-2.8 Di III VXD hit me pretty much as hard, but the colors here are a bit more muted. I adore that. And it’s also so much more important for anyone shooting portraits.”

Other Great Options for the Best Budget Zoom Lenses for Professional Photographers

It’s pretty universally decided that most photographers will do well with the Tamron 35-150mm. But what if you shoot other camera formats or subjects? Well, then we’ve got you covered with these two lenses.

TAMRON 17-70MM F2.8 Di III-A VC RXD: Great for Fujifilm X (and Sony E-mount, too)

In our review, we state:

“In terms of autofocus, this lens can surely hold its own with nearly anything that Fujifilm makes. And that’s wonderful to know! In fact, I’d rate it along the lines of the new Fujifilm LM lenses. That means that it’s faster than most of the older glass out there.“

TAMRON 150-500MM F5-6.7 Di III VC VXD: Great for Fujifilm, Nikon, and Sony

In our review we state:

“The Nikon Z mount has been working very closely with Tamron recently. In the case of the Tamron 150-500mm lens, it’s now available for the system. This lens has some of Tamron’s highest-end technology inside of it — like the autofocus motors and the optics. For what it’s worth, it performs admirably on the Nikon z9.“

Using This Guide to the Best Budget Zoom Lenses for Professional Photographers

If you’re considering purchasing anything from this list of the best budget zoom lenses for professional photographers, know the following:

  • This is a sponsored roundup. But any professional will tell you that Tamron makes the best budget zoom lenses for the pros. The image quality, autofocus performance, price, and overall quality are there like no other lenses on the market.
  • Originally, these lenses were available only for the Sony E mount. But that has since expanded. Perhaps more mounts will be covered in the future.
  • Tamron is partially owned by Sony, so the autofocus performance is typically better with them than it is with other 3rd party options.
  • Tamron’s zooms are often better than Fujifilm’s own.
  • Nikon rebadges many of Tamron’s own lenses after making some external updates to them. But if you’re looking to save money, get the available Tamron lens.
  • Our Editor in Chief owns three Tamron lenses for the Sony E mount. In fact, they’re the only zoom lenses he owns, and he’s famous for never wanting to use zooms.
  • All of these lenses offer some of the best weather resistance on the market.

Picking the Right One For You

If you’re still a bit confused as to the right lens for you, here are some questions to ask yourself

  • What’s your budget?
  • How will you use the product?
  • What lighting situations are you in, and how will that affect what you’re doing? Our reviews hyperlinked in this article can help with that.
  • Are you traveling a lot with it?
  • Will you be using it in a situation that’s a bit rougher?
  • Who else uses this product? How are they using it?
  • What’s so appealing about this product that I can’t get from what I have already or something else?
  • When will I really have time to use this product?
  • Where will I bring this product?
  • How will this product help bring me joy and joy in my photography?

These are just a few of the questions that we ask ourselves, but we think that you should ask yourself these for sure.
