This camera app is really useful if you want to protect the anonymity of your subject

In some cases it may be necessary to conceal the identity of the people you record. A common method used by journalists and photographers is the silhouette effect. Sometimes they also use editing softwares to both blur images and distort voices beyond recognition. But if you don't have enough time for the above-mentioned techniques, a new camera app promises to be the most comprehensive solution.

Aptly called Anonymous Camera, the app offers real-time face anonymizing while you're shooting images. Faces can be blocked with solid colors, static noise, or a blur effect. You can even choose to hide people's whole bodies and distort audio tracks in videos. It is free to download on the App Store and costs just $1.99 if you want to remove the AC watermark from video recording.


Other valuable features :

- Remove metadata: users can choose to delete any and all metadata associated with the video, including time, date, and location.

- Split screen: control how much of the frame is anonymized to perform interviews while protecting your sources.

- Local storage: all processing and storage is done locally. Nothing ever goes to the cloud.

Pretty impressive, huh? If you're interviewing someone who has good reason to remain incognito, Anonymous Camera will make your life easier.

Hand-Painted Movie Posters by Tony Stella

But they did not have the original posters, or the means to print alternatives. So they made their own, commissioning local artists to hand-paint them. I really miss those hand-painted posters and billboards, which conveyed an artistry that was a form of visual hyperbole. But hand-made objects always have a way of returning. In this digital age, people will always look for things made by hand. I recently stumbled across the work of Tony Stella, whose genuinely cool movie posters have caught the eye of film enthusiasts and art lovers worldwide. He likes to work in watercolor and ink wash but sometimes he will make an oil painting, depending on the film. Tony's very active on social media, and his Tumblr blog contains a massive collection of illustrated movie posters that are often better than the original. ...

Emanuele Taglietti is an Italian designer, illustrator and painter known for his erotic and sometimes outrageous comic book covers during the the '70s and '80s.

Taglietti also restored old paintings and occasionally collaborated as an illustrator for magazine publishers such as Mondadori and Rizzoli.  Just this year, Sex and Horror: The Art of Emanuele Taglietti , a book by Mark Alfrey was published celebrating Taglietti's work. The "highly visual biography displays dozens of his amazing full-color paintings, explores his fascinating life and career, and takes a look behind the scenes at his exacting technique."
