We’re not exactly sure how practical this bag is, but it’s definitely among the more unique camera bags we’ve come across. The Leopard Print Camera Bag by fashion webzine Luxirare is a camera bag/purse hybrid that houses a Nikon D90, a cell phone, and some credit cards, and allows you to shoot without removing the camera from the bag.

If you’re suffering from post-World Cup withdrawal, this might cheer you up: models frolicking on a soccer field. Actually, these women are doing much more than than that in fashion photographer Giuliano Bekor’s behind-the-scenes video of the Bebe 2010 World Cup campaign. Shooting and directing by example on the turf of the Los Angeles Memorial Stadium, Bekor pushes his models to the limit. These ladies are doing things I’d certainly never attempt in a dress and stiletto heels — running on grass, for one.

It’s fairly common for actors to try their hand at directing or producing films, but Aaron Eckhart has created a bit of a buzz by shooting his own photos. The self-described “photo geek” completed a commercial shoot for Molly Sim’s jewelery line. Eckhart hopes to go pro soon and have his own exhibitions.
“I’m obsessed with it–it’s all I do,” he told People “That’s really the only thing I think about.” He also cites Peter Lindbergh and Bruce Weber, as well as French and Italian Vogue as his inspiration.
The actor, most recognized for his performances in Thank You for Smoking and The Dark Knight, went on to describe his shooting style:
Straight-up fashion photography in the studio–that’s not what I necessarily aspire to, you know? I like to be outside, on location, making up stories… That’s where my acting comes in.

AORTA shot a series of photographs for 125 magazine telling the story of a young lady returning home from working as a fashion model for a year. The images are chilling and beautiful at the same time:
I love how these images have a surreal quality to them. For the rest of the images in the series you can either check out their portfolio, or visit the project page oh Behance:
I’m a big fan of Threadless and the seemingly infinite stream of hilarious t-shirts designs that are constantly being created by its dedicated community. However, I haven’t been able to find many shirts designed specifically for photographers on the service. Yesterday I tweeted a request for links to photography related t-shirt designs, and received quite a large number of interesting responses. After looking through all the links tweeted in response, here are my favorites (click the shirts to go to where they’re sold):
One of the few photography-related t-shirts I was able to find on Threadless.
Who cares what or how you shoot if you can put it through Photoshop it afterwards?
If you’re not careful around me, you might get shot (or Photoshopped).
A great shirt to confuse non-photogs. See if you can trick people into believing they’re all math symbols.
Threadless shirts are always top-notch.
Hmmm…
Another minimalistic design. Maybe it’s saying “Shoot from (or at) the hip”?
Amazing! A shirt that doubles as a gray card…
Give this to your assistant and have him or her simply stand in for a picture.
This shirt is a chance to show just how nerdy you are.
For those of you who are obsessed with Flickr.
A pretty minimalistic design by Chase Jarvis. Become the lens.
If you ever forget the rule, just look in the mirror.
Many of the shirt designs I found simply had a camera hanging around the neck. Here are six of them:
Most of the shirts I found were clever, but only contained text. I’ve collected some here, since I didn’t want to waste space displaying too many shirts with only text on them:
Here are a list of online stores, shops, and merchandise pages that offer photography-related t-shirts:
Update: Received another interesting design via email, called Photoshoplifter. Check it out!
Update 2: Here’s yet another design emailed to us: Still Need The Vision
A big thank you to everyone who helped us put together this list by sending us links via Twitter! You guys are awesome! If you know of any funny/awesome/cool shirts that we didn’t include, please share it with us by leaving a comment!
