Here we are, back again with another young, incredible artist. Vilde Indrehus is a 17 year old photographer from Norway. I know this whole “Instagram” look has been done over and over yet there is just something about all these shots that gets me. The composition, DOF, ideas, everything just comes together so nicely. Its so nice to see young talent popping up. Gives me some hope for the future generations. [more]
I believe that if a photographer wants to grow in their craft one of the best exercises they can do is pick a particular subject and focus on all the different ways to shoot it. While out in North Carolina I met Stephen Wilfong, a photographer there that over the course of 7 years pushed his creative boundaries to shoot every clock he could find in New York City. [more]
I’ve never been one to take landscape pictures. I just don’t like any that I take. I can’t seem to get the composition right or lighting. I am a portrait photographer. It’s what I do. However, I greatly appreciate photographers who are able to capture the true beauty of a certain location. Photographers, like Fakrul, are able to do just that. The perfect exposure, bringing out details I would never have noticed had I been the one to take the shot. [more]
“I started using Photoshop since i was a little kid, I would use a 1 mega pixel camera and invite my friends over. I would then take photos of them and photoshop them really tiny fighting my toys and what not. I think after that, I’ve always had an interest in photography. One funny thing though, i failed photography and Photoshop twice in high school. Just because i never wanted to do the projects our teacher gave us. Instead i would Photoshop the teacher like hulk and what not. Ha hah. I have never done a 365 or 52 project, even though I’m dying to do one. Just don’t think i have the time at the moment.” – Javier Gil [more]
Shinichi Maruyama is a fine art photographer based in New York City who specializes in abstract images which feature natural forms captured in a variety of ways. For one of his most recent projects, Shinichi photographed nude dancers using long exposure photography to create some very interesting (and beautiful, to boot) images. [more]
Italian photographer Yossi Loloi’s “Full Beauty” is a series of nudes featuring large women in an effort to “…focus on their fullness and femininity, as a form of protest against discrimination set by media and by today’s society.” I often think about how to shoot various body types with their varied aesthetics and am curious to know how our readers receive Yossi’s work. I’m also trusting that our readers will read Yossi’s philosophy and approach this discussing with a professional and mature attitude. [more]
Matt Morris has created this wonderful short documentary about Harry Taylor and his passion.”After a personal tragedy, Harry discovered a passion for the 150-year-old craft of tintype photography”. His outlook on photography is very fascinating. Dabling between digital and tintype Harry has found that working with the tintype process much more rewarding. [more]
I love B&W photography. There is just something about it that captures you and makes you sit there and stare at it. The work of Ali Muhammad does just that. Though im not the biggest fan of the crops on these shots, I can push that aside and just stare. [more]
Not all photography has to fallow the rules. You don’t have to shoot people, buildings, or anything in particular. If you see something that looks cool to shoot, shoot it. Thats what Mahmoud Hiepo does and does it well. [more]
As I have said in earlier posts, photographers are getting younger and younger. Jackie Luo is a seventeen year-old photographer based in Houston, Texas. She is also the editor-in-cheif of ACHE Magazine. [more]
Conner Allen is a 19 year old conceptual portrait photographer from Spokane WA. He has some very interesting and inspiring images. He shoots mostly darker themed shoots yet shoots weddings and senior pictures as well. [more]
“I’m a 21 year-old self-taught fine art photographer from France. As a child, I early found shelter in my imagination. I started to feel interest for art very quickly, through painting, drawing, writing, sculpting, making objects and costumes… At the age of 18, I started making pictures, but it was not until the age of 20 that I realized how fantastic a medium photography was, allowing me to combine all these passions. [more]
I know a lot of people are on the Instagram kick right now. Even when shooting with normal DSLRs, they still like the look of the rustic, old, grainy photos. So if you like Instagram style photos, these is for you. If not, there is nothing to see here, move along. [more]
“Ever since I was young I’ve always had the urge to preserve moments of my life. First by keeping a journal, then by collecting smells into little boxes (though that did not work very well as you can imagine, still for a little girl that was very disappointing). [more]
It’s amazing how young the photographers are getting now. Some of these photographers are only 16,17,18. It’s crazy! Valentina Sarritzu is one of those young photographers. [more]
