Meghan Markle has given us some sweet insight into her son Prince Archie’s creative pursuits.

A few days ago, the Duchess of Sussex moderated a conversation with actor David Oyelowo and photographer Misan Harriman, a longtime Sussex family friend who has just directed a short film titled The After. The movie is currently streaming on Netflix.

“The inspiration runs deep,” Meghan told the two men at one point during the discussion (via Town & Country).

“Our four-and-a-half-year-old son—he would say, ‘No, I’m not four. I’m four and a half!’ —Misan was showing him how to do photography the last time he was with us, and I bought Archie a camera, and he said, ‘But it’s not a Leica like Misan.’ I said, ‘You are not getting a Leica! Not even for Christmas.'”

The duchess continued, “So thank you for the inspiration across the board.”

For reference, Leica cameras are considered top of the range and usually cost several thousand dollars. They are also handcrafted and super fragile and sensitive, so aren’t exactly the smartest gift for a four-and-a-half-year-old.

Harriman often shares photos he’s taken of the Sussex family on Instagram, which he did after this panel discussion for example.

We often have Harriman to thank for adorable pictures of Archie and his sister Princess Lilibet as well.

Notably, the photographer was behind the gorgeous photo of Lilibet that was shared on the occasion of the little girl’s first birthday in 2022. It showed her wearing a blue linen dress and a bow in her hair, sitting in the grass and smiling happily.

In the realm of photography, there exists a captivating and ingenious art form that transcends traditional boundaries and norms – trick photography. Unlike conventional photography which aims to capture reality as it is, trick photography delves into the realm of imagination, creativity, and illusion, manipulating perspectives to craft visually stunning and mind-bending images that mesmerise and amaze viewers.

Below are 8 photography tricks that anyone can try:

1. GET CLOSE TO YOUR SUBJECT

If lacking a zoom lens, consider approaching your subject for a compelling perspective, particularly if your camera has a Macro Mode.

This technique works effectively in capturing details of leaves, buildings, people, and other subjects. It enables you to seize textures and infuse your shots with added vitality.

2. PANORAMA TRICKS

Here’s another clever tip for maximising your phone’s camera capabilities. Utilise the panorama shooting setting to capture your subject multiple times within the frame.

By quickly moving and positioning yourself in each shot while the camera is capturing, you can effectively include your subject more than once in the panoramic sequence.

3. UPSIDE DOWN PUDDLES

Puddles present a fantastic opportunity to explore creativity and leverage reflections in your photography. A simple technique involves flipping your camera or smartphone upside down to capture both the puddle itself and its reflection.

After positioning your device correctly, proceed to take the picture. Additionally, this technique could potentially yield captivating results for other water bodies like lakes and rivers.

4. TAKE PHOTOS THROUGH HOLES OR GAPS

When observing various bridges, it’s common to find architectural elements like circles or rectangles that can enhance the visual appeal of your images.

Similarly, narrow streets offer a similar opportunity. For aspiring street photographers seeking to improve their craft, consider incorporating these elements into your compositions.

Patience can be rewarding; waiting for someone to walk past can add a unique dimension to your shots, making them more compelling and distinctive.

5. SHOOT IN LANDSCAPE MODE

This tip may seem simple, yet it’s remarkable how many individuals nowadays primarily utilise portrait mode when taking pictures.

This preference could be attributed to the fact that images with a 4:5 crop ratio occupy more screen space on platforms like Instagram, leading to this prevalent practice.

Exploring a different approach by shooting in landscape mode can yield more intriguing images. While the prevailing trend leans towards portrait mode, opting for landscape orientation not only allows you to stand out but also enables you to capture a broader view of the scene.

This method proves particularly advantageous when aiming to encompass more of the scenery within a single shot.

SHENZHEN, China, Dec. 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — nubia, the leading global smartphone manufacturer and a pioneer in innovative smartphone technology, today launched its new-generation under-display camera smartphone, the nubia Z60 Ultra. This latest model comes equipped with the NeoVision photography system, featuring high-definition optics with three main cameras, setting a new standard in mobile photography. The innovative UDC Full Screen, supported by a fifth-generation flexible under-display camera technology, offers an unstoppable view, boasting a more vibrant display and more natural-looking selfies. Ni Fei, Chairman of nubia Technology Co., Ltd., stated, “Innovation in smartphones that leads to transformative experiences primarily revolves around two elements: the screen and photography. We have dedicated ourselves to five generations of under-display technology, striving to deliver the most pristine and ultimate full-screen experience.”

Engineered for the adventurer, the device is fortified with IP68-rated dust and water resistance, ensuring it stands as a beacon of durability. Additionally, the phone is powered by the groundbreaking Snapdragon 8 Gen3 chipset, a robust 6000mAh silicon carbon negative electrode super battery with the sleek and efficient MyOS 14 operating system, making it a comprehensive and versatile choice for enhanced image processing.

High-Definition Triple Cameras with Advanced OIS Optical Image Stabilization

Optical system forms the foundation of photography. nubia’s commitment to mobile photography is exemplified by its bold challenges to industry norms and the advancement into the realm of high-end optics. The nubia Z60 Ultra is equipped with the innovative NeoVision photography system, featuring three main cameras — 18mm Ultra Wide Starry Sky, 35mm precision master, and 85mm telephoto explorer camera with high-definition optics. This sets a new benchmark in mobile photography, offering comprehensive advancements across all focal lengths and catering to consumers’ needs in various scenarios.

The new 50-megapixel 18mm ultra-wide-angle starry sky main camera employs a 1/1.55-inch outsole sensor, a 7P aspherical lens, and an f/1.8 large aperture. This combination breaks away from the traditional “wide-angle theory of uselessness,” achieving an industry-leading ultra-low distortion wide-angle main camera. The 50-megapixel 35mm camera features a high-definition optical combination with a 1G+6P lens and f/1.59 large aperture, enhancing light intake, pixel density and photo clarity. 35mm lenses continue to be the ultimate focal length for detailed photography, whilst the 64-megapixel 85mm periscope telephoto portrait lens with a 1/2-inch sensor significantly improves portrait photography.

The focal length layout of the nubia Z60 Ultra is meticulously balanced, and its stabilization system ranks among the best in the industry. It supports triple OIS full optical image stabilization, ensuring steadfast stability in all shooting scenarios whilst further enhancing capture efficiency. Additionally, the main camera is equipped with a blue glass spin-coated IR filter as standard, effectively reducing glare and synergizing with laser focus to easily lock in extraordinary moments.

Computational Photography: Enhancing Starry Sky, Humanistic Photography, and Portraits

Building on its superior optics, nubia NeoVision also advances computational photography capabilities. The Galaxy Night Scene algorithm, a first for nubia, optimizes and adjusts effects on ultra-wide angles. It works in tandem with the sky and earth separation calculation broadening and brightening the captured starry sky. The unique starry sky portrait algorithm allows for clear portraits against the backdrop of the Milky Way. The starry sky coloring function effectively minimizes light pollution and color cast, enhancing the transparency of the starry sky and the Milky Way. Additional features like Star hunting and starry sky time-lapse photography offer users a richer experience in astrophotography.

All three main cameras support lightning capture. In portrait mode users can choose from 50mm classic, 35mm environmental, and 85mm portrait options, capturing the essence of portrait photography at its golden focal lengths. The nubia Z60 Ultra also features a 65:24 ultra-wide movie format and supports 4K 120 frame video, video pre-recording, super night scene video, and super stabilization functions, ensuring high-definition and stable video in all scenarios.

Fifth-Generation Flexible Under-Display Camera Technology: A Comprehensive Upgrade

As a leader in under-display camera technology, the nubia Z60 Ultra showcases the latest generation of flexible UDC full-screen. This includes a screen density of up to 400PPI in the under-display camera area, a full-screen blue diamond arrangement, and support for independent pixel drivers, achieving a clearer and more refined display. The UDC Ultra independent screen display chipset enhances natural color transitions, while the new BOE Q9+ luminescent material significantly improves color display stability. The industry’s largest front-facing single-pixel photosensitive area of 2.8μm, coupled with a front-facing transparent algorithm, further improves the brightness and clarity of front-facing photography and video calls.

Beyond its full-screen capabilities, the overall screen quality of the nubia Z60 Ultra is exceptional. It boasts a 6.8-inch AMOLED large screen with 2480×1116 high resolution, a 2.5D flexible straight screen, and an anti-accidental touch design. The screen covers 100% of the DCI-P3 wide color gamut, supports a 1.07 billion color display, and achieves a local peak brightness of up to 1500nit. Additionally, it supports a 2160Hz ultra-high frequency PWM dimming function and has received SGS low blue light certification, safeguarding eye health.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and 6000mAh Large Battery: Setting a New Performance Benchmark

In terms of performance, the nubia Z60 Ultra is powered by the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 8 Gen 3 flagship chipset, significantly enhancing CPU and GPU performance and energy efficiency. The combination of UFS4.0 and memory ensures fast operation, quick application startup, and rapid game loading. The device also features a 6000mAh silicon carbon negative electrode ultra-large capacity battery and is IP68-rated dust and water resistance, providing a comprehensive performance experience for all scenarios.

For gaming, the nubia Z60 Ultra supports a 120Hz screen refresh rate and a 1200Hz instantaneous touch sampling rate, delivering smooth visuals, and responsive controls. The X-axis linear motor provides strong vibration, varied vibration effects, and lower noise, making it suitable for various games and UI interactions. AI frame sensing technology intelligently adjusts frequency and core based on gaming scenes and actions, improving energy efficiency and reducing minor lags. An upgraded battery charging system allows for customized power levels, supporting a power supply mode without charging, maintaining a comfortable temperature and ensuring stable performance.

Isomorphism Universe Design: A Distinctive Flagship Masterpiece

The striking module design on the back of the nubia Z60 Ultra highlights its unique and powerful photography capabilities. Inspired by the isomorphic universe, the design extends the imaging module area to the edge of the phone, offering an expansive and impactful visual experience. This design not only showcases the beauty and depth of the universe but also ensures that the arrangement of the three main cameras avoids internal magnetic interference caused by the OIS and AF systems of the lenses, maintaining optimal photography performance.

The back of the device uses AG flash-sand glass with millions of micron-level crystal structures, giving the phone a flowing silver metallic texture and a cyberpunk futuristic aesthetic. The sides are adorned with an aerospace-grade metal middle frame and support ergonomic customizable sliding keys with five functions: photo taking, mute, recording, flashlight, and game space, all easily customizable and activated with a single toggle.

The nubia Z60 Ultra is available in two color options: Black and Silver. nubia also continues to offer the classic Starry Sky Collection Edition, available exclusively in China for now. Inspired by Van Gogh’s “Starry Night”, the design incorporates the emotional expression and classic colors of the painting, using a starry sky micro-etching process on the glass, and combining it with rich technological overlays to present an eyewear-free 3D star effect. The diamond relief effect perfectly integrates technology with art.

Getting the shot is not an easy task, but this year, Alta Journal photographers rose to the occasion. Whether it involved spelunking to a 24-hour doughnut shop at 1 a.m. or facing suspicion in a rural desert biker bar, Alta’s contributing photographers did not shy away from a challenge. Below, these incredible individuals share their last-minute decisions, talks with subjects, and aesthetic choices—providing an insider’s look into this year’s top photos.

CAROLYN FONG, “SAN FRANCISCO’S 24-HOUR DINER STOPS THE COSMIC CLOCK,” ISSUE 25

“I think the moment that I’m most proud of was finally getting George, the diner’s co-owner, to allow me to take a portrait—a single portrait of him at the bar at 1 a.m. after being there for an hour and patiently waiting and slowly earning a little bit of his trust. The bonus was the younger folks coming in for a doughnut after a night out and getting to capture them enjoying a shot of ouzo with George as his usual routine of welcoming new patrons.

“It’s been a while since I’ve been out past midnight, and I’m glad that this job pulled me out well past my bedtime to experience a little slice of San Francisco history and what I hope will be a lasting part of its future as well.”

SCOTT BAXTER, “AN AWFUL LEGACY OF VIOLENCE IN THE ROUND VALLEY,” ISSUE 25

“My hope is the story will raise some awareness. I spent a couple of days speaking at my motel with Harold, a member of the Cortina Indian Rancheria community from Redding, California. He was in town to partake in a Bear Dance in relation to the murdered and missing community members.

“He was very kind but said the following to me: ‘You know, so many of you come here, but nothing ever happens…but I will give you a chance.’ He then talked of how Native communities are bringing their support to Round Valley. He said, ‘We are one feather of the same eagle.’

“My approach was to try and understand the situation as much as possible, and be gentle and respectful while needing to make compelling images that may in some small way effect change with the tragedy of missing or murdered Indigenous persons.”

GREGG SEGAL, “A NEVADA TALE: TESLA, GOOGLE, AND THE MUSTANG RANCH,” ISSUE 25

“For this story, the original plan was to photograph Lance Gilman, owner of the Mustang Ranch, outside at the entrance of the brothel with Jennifer Barnes, the brothel’s manager and Lance’s partner, along with a handful of ‘courtesans’ (as Lance calls them).

“But the exterior was pretty nondescript. And the shoot was in August, when temperatures were close to 100; I knew Lance, Jennifer,

and the courtesans would be uncomfortable in the hot sun. I convinced Lance’s team to bring his Harley into the brothel’s bar, which, with its red neon lighting, has more of a vibe and sense of place than the exterior.”

TOD SEELIE, “THE JOY OF A GREAT DESERT BIKER BAR,” ISSUE 22

“One of my favorite parts of being a photographer is meeting new people and going places where you wouldn’t ordinarily find yourself, and this story, celebrating the biker bars of Southern California, was a great example of that.

“All of these new encounters require inserting yourself into strangers’ spaces to photograph, which can be received in a myriad of ways. There were moments at a few bars where some patrons regarded me with palpable suspicion; however, the bar owners and managers were all incredibly hospitable. At one point, a group in matching vests came over to question me about who I was and what I was doing. After we had a chat, apparently satisfied, they let me on my way.”

ALEJANDRO CEGARRA, “LETTER FROM MEXICO CITY” ISSUE 25

“I enjoy assignments in Mexico City, particularly because they provide me with the opportunity to explore the city—although I am not originally from Mexico City or even Mexico itself. I’m from Venezuela. I left my home country due to the humanitarian crisis unfolding there, so I arrived in this city seven years ago. When I read the description, I felt delighted because I’m in love with this country and this city. And I feel that’s why these pictures work so well together, because this is how I see Mexico City: through the eyes of someone deeply in love with this place that I now call home, and I’m really happy for other people to feel that love through the pictures.”

CHRISTINA GANDOLFO, “‘ACTS OF LIVING,’” ISSUE 25

“I knew with this assignment that the creative spaces I was entering were nearly as important as the person I was photographing. Within each space, I felt like I was gaining access into a wider canvas for each artist’s perspective. For instance, Teresa Tolliver’s home studio in South L.A. was as ‘wild’ as her Wild Things sculptures—with decades’ worth of artwork filling nearly every square foot. Conversely, Kang Seung Lee’s tidy studio space was a near mirror reflection of the labor-intensive yet seemingly economic drawings and textiles he creates. When I entered Michael Alvarez’s garage studio in Whittier, I felt like I was stepping into one of his beautifully pastel-hued murals of everyday scenes in Los Angeles that subtly force us to understand the city just a little bit better.

“Having this kind of access to the spaces that inspired each artist told me volumes more than I could suss out in the short time we had together.”

PENNI GLADSTONE, “HOW TO GROW GOOD HOUSING,” ISSUE 24

“As an experienced photographer, I understand the importance of letting the subjects speak for themselves. I wanted to know from them how they survive, and photograph how they live. When the subjects are relaxed over conversation, they are freer to be themselves, so I am able to capture key aspects of their lives. It is only then that I am able to make a compelling photograph.

“I often work beyond what the reporter finds. I bring more questions to the story and find additional angles. This couple takes pride in building their own home. My photograph captured them supporting each other as they build their future together.”

JOHN LOK, “TRAILBLAZER: MATTIE MOONEY,” ISSUE 24

“For Mattie’s portrait, I was excited to try a lighting technique where everything that was not lit by my strobe would have a bluish cast. This was achieved by setting the camera to a tungsten white balance and gelling my flash head. The location provided some great background opportunities, and when Mattie arrived wearing a vibrant red lipstick color, I knew it would all come together for a striking image. As a photographer, it’s important to go into a shoot with a vision but also to embrace, and work with, the unplanned elements that always make their way in front of the lens. Those are often the things that really elevate the work and experience.”

DUSTIN SNIPES, CBC AUTHOR PORTRAITS, ISSUE 22-25

“Being a part of the California Book Club series has been an incredible experience. Over the past few years, I’ve had the fortune of meeting and photographing some of the most interesting and talented individuals. It’s been a delight to get to spend a few hours with them, getting to know them and learn more about their stories.”
