Common questions
What does The Frame and Light concentrate on?
The light and the setting that produced a picture, which is why Technique leads and Gear follows rather than the other way round. Genres groups the work, Editing covers the process afterwards, and Practice & business covers making a living from it in the UK.
Are the gear pieces reviews?
No. Gear summarises announcements and reviews published by named outlets, credited and linked, and nothing is tested here. Any verdict about a camera or a lens belongs to whoever used it.
What material do the pieces draw on?
From named photography publications, manufacturers, galleries and competition organisers, summarised with a credit and a link back. Technique described in a piece is described as its source described it.
Are the photographs on the site yours?
No photograph here is presented as the work of a staff photographer, and pieces about images point to where the work was published or exhibited. Illustrations are generated for the site and are not documentary records of an event.
Why is the source credited instead of a writer?
They are written with automated assistance from the source material and carry no personal byline, crediting the source publication instead. Sources and methods explains how.
Is anything recorded about my visit?
Nothing is. No cookies, no analytics, no advertising and no third-party fonts, scripts or images.
