Unleash Your Inner Genius [#cjRAW with Michael Meade]

ARCADE: How the Skate Park Taught Me the Power of Sharing Ideas

The new Hasselbad X1D camera. A new chapter for an amazing brand.

Recently, the photo team at CreativeLive asked me to weigh in on the new Hasselbad X1D camera. I have shot a lot of in-studio sessions on Hasselblad cameras, and in 2006 I was given the first ever Hasselblad Master award. Hasselblad cameras have always created gorgeous images but the camera body is delicate and bulky -- to the extent that you don’t feel like you can take them anywhere. This camera is for an image maker who really values the... read more ›
