Are you familiar with photographer August Sander? 📸

One of the highlights of our trip to Connecticut was visiting the Yale University Art Gallery, where we caught an exhibit of Sander’s work. The museum itself was incredible, with so much amazing art to explore.

Sander is best known for People of the 20th Century, a long-term project documenting people from all walks of life through portraiture.

Swipe to learn more about his work and to see some of the exhibits and artwork that caught our eye.

May’s theme, Caught in the Moment, brought in so many incredible entries. From candid expressions and everyday interactions to fleeting moments that might have otherwise gone unnoticed, it was inspiring to see how each photographer interpreted the theme in their own unique way.

Choosing this month’s winners was incredibly difficult. The quality of the submissions was outstanding, and we spent a lot of time narrowing down our final selections. There were so many deserving images, making this one of the toughest decisions we’ve had to make. Thank you to everyone who participated and shared your creativity with us.

✨ Happy June!! ✨

A new month brings a new creative challenge, and for June, we’re celebrating one of photography’s most beautiful lighting conditions.

📸 June Theme: Golden Hour
Capture an image during Golden Hour — the magical light that occurs just before sunset and just before sunrise. Think warm tones, long shadows, glowing landscapes, backlit portraits, city scenes bathed in soft light, or any moment transformed by the beauty of the sun’s low angle.

Your interpretation can be literal or creative. All photography styles are welcome, whether you shoot film or digital.

Creative Focus: Light & Atmosphere
Pay attention to how light shapes your image. Use the warmth, color, and mood of Golden Hour to create a photograph that stands out and tells a story.

Bonus Challenge:
Use Golden Hour light to create dramatic shadows.

(Complete the bonus challenge to earn points toward the 2026 Bonus Point Champion!)

📸 Friday Photo Tip ☀️
Sunny weekends = the perfect time to use a circular polarizing filter.

A CPL filter can help:
✔ Reduce reflections
✔ Cut glare from water/glass
✔ Deepen blue skies
✔ Add contrast and richer color to your images

A small addition to your kit that can make a big difference outdoors. 👀

Film Friday: Kodak Pro 400
(formerly Portra 400)
📸 Shot by Jeff

Kodak Pro 400 is a favorite among film photographers for its versatility, smooth tones, and signature color rendering. Originally created for portrait photography, this film became known for its natural-looking skin tones, soft contrast, and ability to handle a wide range of lighting conditions.

Whether you’re shooting portraits, travel, street photography, or everyday moments, Pro 400 delivers fine grain, balanced colors, and beautiful detail throughout highlights and shadows. It also handles overexposure especially well, giving that bright, airy film look many photographers love.

Available in both 35mm and 120 formats, it’s one of those film stocks that works well in almost any camera bag.

Have you tried Kodak Pro 400 before?
