After introducing the KR-S160 and KR-S80—boasting 160Ws and 80Ws of power, respectively—Kraken Sports has announced a new entry-level strobe, the KR-S40, offering an output of 40Ws (guide number 16). More compact than its more-powerful siblings, the KR-S40 features the same aluminum construction, optical triggering and remote controllability, but a straight flash tube rather than a circular one.
Strobe power can be adjusted manually using the big rear dial (five levels), but there’s no TTL automatic exposure option. Unlike its siblings, the new strobe has no dual function as a video light, but there’s a 500-lumen target light built in. According to Kraken, the strobe recycles in 1.5 seconds after a full power dump. The KR-S40 is powered by a single high-capacity 21700 battery.
The Kraken KR-S40 strobe will be available soon from retailers such as Backscatter, priced at $360.

AI images have been circulating the internet, more than ever for about a couple of years now and with AI being integrated into most editing programs, google has also been working on several models and one of the most recent is the Gemini 2.0 Flash experimental model. If you are looking to access the features of Google Gemini, you will need to have a google account and be signed in.
Image via Google
Google has already been working with many models in the past and their most capable one seems to be the Gemini 2.0. Gemini 2.0 Flash experimental model is built on the success of Gemini 1.5 flash and is available freely to all Gemini users. Gemini 2.0 Flash is faster and comes with new capabilities like natively generated images mixed with text.
Gemini 2.0 Flash requires the user to type in prompts that ask Gemini to create an image based on the description provided. You can further change elements or subjects in your images through further prompts. You also have the option to choose a desired aspect ratio for the final image through prompts. In the experimental version, you will get a resulting image that has a watermark on it.
Besides the above process of generating images, you can also upload your own image and make changes to it. For example, if you are using a portrait, you can make changes to the outfit, hair, etc., adding hair or try to get different poses/perspectives of the image. For example a side view, a lower perspective of an image and so on. This is applicable for all genre of photos.
Besides the above, Gemini 2.0 Flash can also be used to remove unwanted objects or replace objects from a photo, replace backgrounds or even colorise photos. The results achieved using Gemini 2.0 Flash and the capabilities are more similar to the jobs done using photoshop, where some tools in the program were used to perform these actions, whereas in Gemini 2.0 Flash the job is done using prompts.
With the Gemini 2.0 Flash Experimental already being tried by many users it looks like it could kill programs like Photoshop in the near future, but generating images using prompts, with the help of AI – is this still photography? All these advancements in the field of AI makes us question if we can trust photos anymore, especially when used as evidences. It also makes us check the credibility of the photographer presenting an image.
We think AI may change photography in some areas, but it can never replace genuine photography. What are your thoughts on this? Let us know in the comments section below. We would love to hear.

Waterworks, an exploration of New York City’s water supply and wastewater treatment systems, was originally published in 2003. This new and expanded edition is a complete reworking of the book, featuring 362 photographs, made between 1992 and 2024, and two new large, folded insert maps. Greenberg visited reservoirs, aqueducts, tunnels, gatehouses, water supply and sewer pumping stations, water tanks, wastewater treatment plants, stormwater retention facilities and maintenance covers throughout the watershed and around the city. The maps identify over 400 sites in the system, from upstate reservoirs to abandoned systems and tunnel shaft sites. In the late 1990s, Greenberg received unprecedented access to photograph the system, which made much of this work possible. After 9/11, all facilities were closed to the public. Since then, Greenberg has located hundreds of sites in plain view but largely unknown and unidentified; anonymous street furniture invisible to most people. The book and map — a field guide for anyone called to their own exploration — show a mostly underground and hidden system. The map is based on field investigations and historical documents and is designed by Greenberg and Larry Buchanan.

Did you know that you can use Path to do a whole lot more than just removing backgrounds and retouching imperfections? You can improve product photos with retouching and ghost mannequins, fix blurry action sports shots, and add shadows to bring images to life. You can virtually iron wrinkles out of clothing and fabric. And you can even totally change the colors in your images—in a realistic way.
Find out more about all the edits you can order from Path:
1. Remove the background for versatile photos
Background removal is probably our most popular request. Whether you’re prepping for a product launch, updating a marketplace listing, or shooting team portraits, clean background removal is essential. We can isolate any subject from your image and remove the rest so you can use that image in different contexts.
Because we do every edit by hand, there are three ways we remove backgrounds from photos:
Clipping path: Carefully hand-drawn clipping paths for crisp, clean photos—best for simpler and more straightforward edges
Image masking: How we remove backgrounds from hair, fur, and difficult borders—common for sports photos and headshots
Multi-clipping path: Involves complex cutouts that require lots of paths, like images with multiple subjects to cut out, bicycles, or items with lots of components.
2. Retouch imperfections for a beautiful image
Photo retouching is probably the second most common request—we see it across all types of images, including product photos, sports photography, portraits, and car photography.
We specialize in four types of retouching:
Dust, spot and scratch removal: We can remove small dents, smudges, dust, and other imperfections from any type of photo. Our studio offers both basic and advanced dust, spot and scratch removal.
Wrinkle on clothing: If the apparel in your shot is wrinkly enough to be distracting, we can smooth it out.
Beauty airbrushing: Common for portraits and headshots in particular, we can touch up any distracting imperfections or blemishes while maintaining a natural-looking shot.
Camera reflection removal: Get rid of any unwanted reflections from shoot day. Again, we offer basic or advanced reflection removal.
You can order one of any five different types of shadow edits at Path:
Drop shadow: A drop shadow makes your subject look like it’s hovering above the background. It’s a common technique in white background product photography.
Existing shadow: You can also ask us to edit an existing shadow to make it appear more natural or less distracting, depending on the look you’re going for.
Floating shadow: A floating shadow gives the impression that your product is hovering above the ground. This is another common technique in white background product photography.
Natural shadow: It’s not always possible to get the lighting right, so this shadow edit will help achieve a more natural shot by casting a make-believe shadow on the surface the subject is resting on.
Reflection shadow: This type of shadow edit makes your subject appear as though it’s resting on a reflective surface.
Ghost mannequins are one of the main ways to edit apparel product photos. Ghost mannequin photography is a style of photography that’s used to showcase clothing and apparel products. It essentially creates an invisible mannequin or model to the item of clothing, making it appear as though it’s being worn even though there’s no one featured in the image.
This photography is effective because it adds dimension to the product, rather than laying it flat on a table in an unengaging way. It allows shoppers to see how the apparel may fit and drape if they were to wear it themselves.
But capturing this photography requires a lot of editing steps. Many product photographers and brands choose to outsource this tedious, detail-oriented work to our studio—you can get them back by the end of the work day if you send them in the morning!
5. Add color variants without a reshoot
You can also order color change edits from Path. This service is especially popular for product photography—if a specific item is available in multiple colors, it’s often more cost-effective to shoot one variant and simply outsource color change edits for the rest. It also comes in handy when an athlete changes teams and needs their headshot to reflect the change.
6. Create perfectly symmetric apparel shots
Symmetry is one of the fastest ways to elevate the professionalism of your apparel product photography. Perfectly aligned sleeves, balanced hems, and centered internal details (like buttons, zippers, or logos) can make your product look more premium—without needing a reshoot. These are great edits to make to improve product photos.
Path’s new symmetry service helps you polish your images with clean, realistic edits designed for ecommerce. Whether you’re preparing for a new collection drop or updating existing product listings, symmetric edits ensure every item looks its best on your site, marketplace, or lookbook.
Here are a few of the most common symmetry fixes we provide:
Sleeve alignment: Make sleeves even and consistent across your product images.
Side-edge adjustments: Smooth and straighten the outer edges of garments for a neater silhouette.
Curve reduction: Eliminate distracting bunching or warping in fabric curves.
Detail alignment: Center and balance key details like pockets, drawstrings, zippers, or brand tags.
Wrinkle retouching is included by default with symmetry edits, so your final images don’t just look aligned—they look polished. This saves time and ensures your edits are cohesive across every SKU.

Ask anyone what social media platform is built around imagery and the majority of replies will be Instagram. Instagram has been around a long time in social media terms, having arrived on the scene in 2010.
However, there are many different social platforms available to photographers these days, some more productive than others. Some are based around video sharing, some around news and events and a minority around sharing images.
The new kid on the block in terms of image sharing is Foto.It has been developed by photographers for photographers. Its scope is not that of social interaction but purely to display and react to good photography.
It is a relatively niche entry into a crowded market, another social media app that could be huge or may wither and die. Today we are going to take a look at the Foto App, what it is and how it stacks up against alternatives.
The Rise And Fall Of Instagram
Any new photography-based social media platform is obviously going to be judged against Instagram. In the case of Foto, that might be a little unfair as it does not intend to be a competitor to Meta’s giant.
However, it’s important to look at Instagram’s place in the photographic world in relation to where Foto might go.
Although perhaps not intended as a social media app for enthusiasts and professional photographers, in its early days, Instagram became just that. The primary driver of this was its simplicity. The upload format was pretty uniform, with images all being displayed in a square format at a resolution that was perfect for mobile phones of the day.
Instagram is no longer the app it used to be for photographers.
People could search for specific genres and topics using hashtags, allowing users to easily find and interact with the content they liked. As such it grew popular not only with the general public sharing snaps, but also more serious photographers who could gain large and engaged followings. This in turn allowed professionals to use it as a powerful marketing tool and build their businesses off of the back of Instagram.
That all changed fairly quickly. Instagram became much more algorithm driven, feeding more and more non-photographic content to users. Influencer learnt how to game the algorithm, meaning more reels and toes dipped into infinity pools rose to the top rather than solid, quality photography.
In the last few years, Instagram has become increasingly difficult as a place for photographers to grow their brand and market their work. Other platforms have taken up some of the slack, but none of them were built around imaging as a primary driver. So how does Foto fit in?
Foto Is Not Trying To Be Instagram
Foto is a platform that is designed from the outset to focus on photography. Its USP is as a platform to share photography to anyone who wishes to see it. The developers state that it’s not just about photographers but anyone who wants to share their photos.
The app has been in beta for quite a while and recently had their full public launch – February 2025. Whilst still basic, the developers have published a roadmap of interesting additions to the app. These include portfolios, scheduling, print fulfillment and cloud storage.
One of the main claims of Foto is that it will never be an advert based model. However, there is currently a subscription service which gives you access to some of the higher level features and I would imagine that a number of the items listed on the roadmap will be included as fee based.
As with any social media platform there has to be a core number of users to make the platform viable. It will be interesting to see how many users move or add Foto to their social media portfolio and indeed how many take up a subscription service. Clearly, without advertising, Foto will need a substantial core to sign up. For that they will need to make the app compelling to its users.
I have been a user of the Foto app since its beta. As of yet, I have not signed up for the paid Ambassador subscription, but what are my thoughts so far on using the app?
Foto is an app purely to share photography
Foto App In Action.
At the moment, the Foto app is available on both Apple IOS and Android, in the roadmap, they are also planning a desktop version in the near future. Once you sign up and log in, you will find a very clean and well-designed interface. Simplicity is certainly its strength, with photographs placed as the obvious centerpiece.
The app runs a chronological-based timeline from the Home button at the bottom, with a single row of large, clear images from contributors that you follow. To the right of the Home button is the search user function. Without searching, this displays a timeline of images only without the user name. If you tap on a photo, it will open with the user profile at the top.
Creating new posts is simple and you are restricted to three tags
Whilst you cannot search for specific text, you can search for tagged images. When you upload an image to the Foto app, you can apply up to three predefined, photography-based tags. These might be for example, Architecture, Landscape, and Long Exposure. This allows app users to filter the search section with specific genres of images. You can add up to three tags to your search.
The images are displayed well with a brief description and the three tags
The third of the five icons at the bottom is the upload button. This is, again, simple to use. When you upload, you can give your photo a description and add up to three tags. And that’s it, no faffing around trying to find suitable hashtags and labouring over a description that will trigger the algorithm.
The fourth icon is notifications, which will tell you if an image has been liked, commented and if someone has followed you. The last icon is your profile page and settings.
As a viewer, the app is as simple as a contributor. The only interactions you can make are to like and comment on a photo and to follow the photographer.
Whilst its simplicity makes it a really nice app to use both as a photographer and as a viewer, I wonder if the lack of deeper interaction will hamper its growth. That may well be something that is addressed in the future. For the moment, the Foto app feels very much like a modern version of early Flickr, a place to share and enjoy photos, but without any great interaction.
Will Fotos Succeed?
Personally, I hope so. I think with the decline of Instagram as a photography platform and the more generalised nature of other social media, there is certainly room for another image-based app. However, it will succeed or fail on its user base. In my opinion, users will need not only to get likes and comments on their images but some form of greater interaction. That may well be on the future roadmap, but for now, I am enjoying the Foto app without devoting a huge amount of my time to it.
The Art of the Personal Project is a crucial element to let potential buyers see how you think creatively on your own. I am drawn to personal projects that have an interesting vision or that show something I have never seen before. In this thread, I’ll include a link to each personal project with the artist statement so you can see more of the project. Please note: This thread is not affiliated with any company; I’m just featuring projects that I find. Please DO NOT send me your work. I do not take submissions.
Work on the waterfront has been visually recorded in this region since the earliest inhabitants were subject matter for European explorers and scientists The entire East Coast of America and its boat builders are a continuing inspiration for artists of all kinds, whose artwork is curated, cherished, and collected for its content and style. This new project is a modern-day record that continues that effort to capture the heart of our region in images. This large collection presents a photographic and written portrait of some of the many people who make their living in 2015 in the historic Hampton Roads shipbuilding and ship repair industry. In each of the large, black-and-white archival prints. I show a single subject directly, intimately, monumentally and heroically. The work environment is the setting, and portraits range from full-length figures to close-up studies of faces. The subjects include laborers, skilled craftspeople, apprentices, hourly workers, maintenance staff, subcontractors and technicians. Each image is accompanied by a short biographical piece taken from a personal interview conducted at the time of the photograph. My intention is to introduce every viewer to a regional subset of men and women of dignity, talent and commitment, and in doing so create a sort of time capsule of participants in this massive, centuries-old industry and way of life.
Waves of Strength features 50 portraits of African American shipyard workers from the massive Hampton Roads harbor region of Virginia. These portraits were selected from the 398 images in the original collection, workers of all races and sexes, made over a three-year period, from ten regional shipbuilding or ship repair yards. The current exhibition, Waves of Strength, focus our attention on the continuing Black contribution to an industry that makes the area one of the largest ports in the world.
Exhibition title:
Waves of Strength: African American Shipyard Workers of Tidewater Virginia.
Dates- Now through June 22.

The intrepid diver covered more than 27,000 miles to accomplish the task, which took place in late November of last year. New additions to his logbook include stops in Thailand, Malta, Egypt, Malta, and Argentina. The record-setting plunge took place in the frigid waters of Antarctica.
“When I finished my final dive, I called my sisters first to share the good news,” Scott told Essence.com. “I could feel the pride and excitement in their voices—it made the achievement feel even more real.”
Scott’s journey into the record books is a long time in the works. After dropping out of New York City’s foster care system as an adolescent, he joined the Marines and served in Afghanistan. Following his service, Scott earned a culinary degree and spent a year backpacking in Asia.
Finally, in 2014 he took the giant stride into diving in the Bahamas and never looked back. Scott eventually worked his way up to Master Scuba Diver Trainer (MSDT) and even authored a book on his adventures, Trent’s Adventures: Deep Sea Discovery, hoping to inspire young ocean explorers of all backgrounds.
“Breaking a Guinness World Record isn’t just about making history; it’s about showing that we belong in these spaces,” Scott shared on Instagram. “Black explorers, Black divers, Black adventurers—we’ve always been here, and we will continue to push boundaries.”

Welcome to the Light Stalking weekly community wrap-up!
Intuitively, one stumbles into the realm of visual language when thinking in photographic terms. However, the catch gets clearer when we attempt to justify our craft by elaborating on how images are capable of telling stories just like written text or verbose talking does. And that’s the thing we need to attend in order to fulfil our bound for narrating something through the means of a photograph.
Nowadays, photographs offer raw data and work as truthful statements of how prone to visual language we humans are. As a species, we are capable of digesting three types of visual entities. In a nutshell, these are signs that can be split into icons, indications and symbols.
Icons are signs that resemble an object, indications are signs that are causally related to their object and symbols are signs that have no inherent connection with their represented object. For example, this 🔥 emoji resembles fire; and smoke in the distance might indicate to us a fire somewhere far away. Curiously enough, the aforementioned word “FIRE”, is a symbol some of us English speakers understand as the physical phenomenon linked to combustion.
Now, photographs are hard to pinpoint just to one of these three, and are better understood as containers of signs which might work as icons, indications, or symbols. The trick here is to think beyond the myth that Western civilisation understands better images by reading them from left-to-right and the other-way around for those who grew up in the eastern hemisphere.
As the bearer of signs, photographs are, it feels cautious to distrust that unfounded tale about how we humans interpret such complex information. Photographs simply can’t work that way and therefore follow a distinct reading logic. However, such uncooked information needs some processing and that’s when the story comes into play; one needs to be certain about the message being shared with the world when posting something online.
The old saying about how an image is worth more than a thousand words, brings light amidst this ai-generated realm we are being pushed into. Thanks to Peirce and Barthes —who’s readings have enlightened my understanding on how photographs are capable of telling stories— I advocate for investing in visual literacy at all age levels.
Covered that, we can follow how our theme on single-frame storytelling developed for this past week!
For it, Diane turned the gears up and asked for visual narratives in a single frame. So expect some clear examples of symbolism and layered elements arranged to create a narrative. And remember, “symbolism refers to using visual cues to express a concept”.
Photo of the Week
Regularly, we expect storytelling in photography presenting itself right this way; in the shape of a single frame capable of pulling the scrolling-brakes — making us wonder. For this case in particular, Pat‘s shot is an invitation into the process of how music is made.
Achieving so much with a single image, is what makes photography stand-out from the crowd when it comes to the various means of communication we’ve developed through the years. It’s amazing how a single frame can open new possibilities and unveil new stories to be told.
Don’t forget to check the photo contest winners for the Essence of Movement; and remember, this month’s photo contest is now open for entries. The theme revolves on “Storytelling in a Single Frame“. Submit your photos for a chance to win $250 and please don’t forget voting as well. Last but not least, keep an eye out for the Members Picks — the instructions are pretty straightforward:
Members reference what you might consider a five star photo. Give a call out to the photographer and share their photo even if it lies in the Shark Tank and feel free to give a Critique on why it trips your Trigger. Be sure to mention the photographer and the Thread you saw it in.
