Although the photographer did very well from the photograph, he felt that it ruined his career for a time where many companies after its success felt that Elliott would be too expensive to hire. Although technically a good picture, Athena initially turned it down, so he eventually took it to a picture library who eventually sold it on to Athena. However Elliott kept the rights and was able to demand 10% royalties from the picture.

The image has endured over the years to become one of the most famous pictures in the world. Limited edition canvas prints worth £300, measuring 60-80cms and signed and numbered by the Elliott are still around. With his death being announced, it will be interesting to see how these signed copies by this famous lifestyle photographer appreciate in value.

Creative photographers will no longer have to base the performance of their camera on the software that was already installed on it by the manufacturer of the camera and this is why many keen photographers are very excited about this development.

The advantages of this kind of camera are numerous and it will undoubtedly be a highly sought after piece of equipment by not only those involved in commercial photography but by amateur photographers too thanks to the endless opportunities this type of camera provides the user with.

Abilities such as being able to handle various different lighting in just one frame in order to increase the dynamic range of the camera and using still photographs with a high resolution in order to enhance video resolution are currently some of the most popular.

The use of web video and interactive video in commercial photography is increasing in popularity and this type of improvement and development in quality and video possibility would be very significant in commercial photography.

The scientists hope that they will have acquired enough funding within the next twelve months in order for production of this camera to begin. They are excited to see the capabilities those programmers and creative or commercial photographers from Leeds to New York will add and how the boundaries of what is possible in photography will be extended.

One photography exhibition currently on display at the museum is ‘In England’, created by the photographer Don McCullin.

McCullin was born in London in 1935 and is a highly respected commercial photographer. He is well-known for the very powerful and emotive photographs he has taken whilst traveling around the world and has often shared with us his shots of those experiencing war, disasters and other troublesome times. However, he does not only photograph in foreign countries and has also captured a number of images of what life has been like in England during a fifty year period. This collection of photographs explores the differences in England between those who have wealth and those who do not. McCullin’s annoyance at this situation is clearly displayed through his work and it is now possible for you to explore and consider these issues with him by visiting this collection.

This exhibition will run until 27th September 2009 and is proving highly popular. If you are interested in photography, history or social issues then this collection of photographs will likely be of great interest.

The National Media Museum is located in Bradford, close to Leeds in Yorkshire, BD1 1NQ and is open Tuesday to Sunday from 10am to 6pm.

Marc Riboud was sent to the city of Leeds in 1954 to take a selection of photographs of the city. These photographs were to be displayed in Picture Post, a magazine of the time that featured both news and photographs. These images were taken to be part of a series exploring the best and worst British cities and some of the photos Riboud took during this time did actually feature in the magazine. He photographed people in the city doing their normal routines, the different ways in which the communities within the city interacted and also the industrial influence of that time. Many of these photographs were forgotten about for many years but Riboud became a much respected creative and commercial photographer.

When these photographs were finally found again and developed, Riboud traveled back to Leeds to photograph the city once more. His images now explore the similarities and differences between the city in those two very different times and he even visited the exact same places to observe just how much Leeds has changed.

If you live in Leeds, are interested in the city, interested in photography or history you should visit this exhibition and learn about the history and current times of this fantastic city.

Leeds City Museum is located at Millenium Square, Leeds, Yorkshire LS2 8BH and the photography exhibition is open until 28th June 2009.

It was in the Twentieth century that people became more aware of commercial photography and what it had to offer. Improvements in technology began to mean that photographs could be reproduced quickly and also be of a higher quality. During the years before the First World War, any photographs used to advertise a product were generally designed to inform people of the benefits of the product only. Basically, they would provide a short lecture on why this item should be purchased and that was all the information that was given.

However, shortly after this people began to notice how important and effective the element of suggestion could be in this type of advertising. They found that photographs could help make products or services appear more desirable. A more subtle and suggestive approach was then taken towards commercial photography and by 1930, around 80% of illustrated advertisements were using photographs instead of illustrated drawings. This was compared to only 15% of illustrated advertisements using photographs in 1920. Things really began to take off for commercial photography during this time and the roles of art directors, copywriters and psychologists were all created so they could contribute and play their part in the quickly developing area of commercial photography.

Using photography in marketing campaigns has continued and progressed throughout the years branching in to new directions and embracing new technological developments such as interactive video for web and 360 photography. Commercial photography is regarded by any business as a vital part of advertising. Companies in major cities in the UK such as Leeds, are regularly employing commercial photographers to help them market their products and services efficiently and successfully.
