Apple Hires Nokia’s Head of Lumia Photography
Apple has been the talk of the town recently because of their rumored acquisition of Beats, and it looks like people will continue to talk with this recent news. As of June 1st, Ari Partinen, lead Nokia PureView engineer, will be leaving Nokia and starting a new position at Apple. The PureView technology has given smartphones like the Lumia 1020 and Nokia PureView 808 outstanding photo taking abilities and carry some of the best photo sensors on smartphones. This looks like a great move for Apple, and it might be a sign that the company will be stepping up its mobile photography game for the next iPhone release. There's no telling what will become of Nokia as far as their phone division is concerned, with Microsoft completing its acquisition, and now one its lead guy has jumped ship. I'm sure we can expect some new things coming from Apple that should excite mobile photographers.

The group already has some of the most popular and recognizable album covers in the Hip Hip today, so we were happy to find that photographer Mel D. Cole was on the scene to capture a behind-the-scenes look at The Roots new LP cover shoot.
At first glance, it seems the group decided to go with a dapper look for the new cover, keeping it simple yet classy, wearing suits and ties with a solid background. Check out the photos below and be sure to check out more of the photographer's music photo work here.
