Olympus has introduced some brilliant cameras over the years. The companies PEN F, E-P5, OM3 are some models that continue to be important for photographers. While it is believed that the Micro Four Thirds or Four Thirds system is now redundant, the truth is far away from that.

Food photography is one of the most underrated forms of the medium. Food not only allows one to reconnect with the traditions of a place but also with multiple communities that shape it. In fact, food is one of the easiest ways to understand a culture that may be fading away. Food photographers, thus, are documentors of not just what is being served but also the way of life. The World Food Photography Awards, sponsored by Bimi®, is one platform that celebrates food in its myriad ways. Here's a quick look at what the shortlisted photographers bring to the table.

In 2025, I started to do things that otherwise would seem crazy for a publisher of a niche photography online magazine to do. For starters, this year, the Phoblographer may actually make a printed magazine again. But in addition to that, we didn't sell any ads to the big camera manufacturers. It really showed me that if everyone even gave $1 to read FOR THE YEAR, we'd make enough money to be able to grow and sustain the site for a very, very long time. But that's really tough to ask. Eventually, I'd like to site to move away from needing and relying on banner-ads. Instead, I want the site to go fully super-affordable subscription eventually.
