If you keep up with fstoppers, it’s likely you saw some unique portraits posted HERE using the Brenizer Method. This post explains that method a little more. If you want to hear Ryan Brenizer explain his own method, he posted his own video on his website. If you you’re too lazy to watch the whole thing though, here’s a summary with some examples.
Photos of rainbows tend to look cheesy and kitschy, and people usually “abuse” the pictures with tons of crazy editing and heavy HDR effects to make it look cooler (and fail). But – when doing it tastefully, the results can be breath-taking – and breath-taking are exactly the kind of images we collected here for you. Check out all these amazing photos from all around the world and let us know which you liked the best in the comments!
In the days before computer modeling, testing, and digital everything else, NASA had to come up with some pretty clever solutions to test and record results for their multitude of space programs. Using long exposures and creative light setups, they were able to record the results of their testing on their most technologically advanced space suits. And the result? [more]
We all know the classic way to light paint photos, usually with a flashlight or a similar light source, but recently a new technique came to life: Light Stenciling. The idea is simple – instead of moving a flashlight in the frame to create shapes, you use a computer display (iPads, iPhones, Laptops) to add characters and items to the image by placing a graphic on top of a black background. The results are really awesome, so check out some of the best stencils we could find on Flickr.

Trees are something that we’re used to seeing together, in groups, or at least a few feet away from each other. This is why pictures of lonely trees are so magical. It makes you stop for a second and think about the place, and even make your own story for the picture. Check out this set of amazing lonely tree images chosen out of thousands of pictures on Flickr.

Underwater photography is a kind-of-rare form of photography. Its way less accessible for most of us, as most of us cant afford the super expensive DSLR underwater housing, and Intagram will probably fail in this mission as well. Most of underwater shots we get to see are of nice looking fish, or a cool coral reef – but this time we’re bringing you something even cooler – the best underwater shots of sunken wrecks: ships, planes and cars.

I bet most of you never heard of the term “Scanography” before, but its ok, I just learned about it a week ago. The idea of Scanography is using a regular paper scanner as a camera, and take pictures of whatever can fit in or around the scanner. The results are somewhere between scary to magical. Check out the best Scanography photos found on Flickr!

Smoking is totally bad for your health, and the health of the people around you. BUT, I think we can all agree smoking is awesome for your pictures. With the right light, location or theme, you can get great and memorable shots when the model is smoking.

From my experience as a photographer, dancers are the best models out there by far. I’ll always prefer shooting a dancer with no modeling experience, than someone who cant dance and have some experience. They Know how to move, how to control their body and positions. They have grace, and usually with them I get the best results. So to prove my point, this week I’m bringing you some of the best dancing photos found on Flickr – Check them out and tell us which are your favorites!

Levitation photography always makes me wonder how it would be if one day we’ll all get a special power that will allow us to levitate or fly around. This week i’m bringing you 15 of the most beautiful levitation photos found on Flickr – check them out and tell us in the comments which are your favorites.
As some of you may know, I started my photography career as a sport/basketball photographer, and I’m a big sports fan in general. This month is one of the craziest months in sports world-wide with March Madness, Champions League Quarter Finals, Euroleague Quarter Finals, and of course some really great NBA games – so I thought it’s a great time to do a post related to that topic: Athlete Portraits.

Clowns are usually known for making kids happy (or scared to death), and for smiling and laughing all the time. They are also known for being active and with a lot of good energy. But what happens when clowns go back home and back to reality?

Few years back I traveled with my family to Italy, where I captured one of my favorite images to date – random girl sitting on very old stairs. This week I decided share with you some great images where the stairs are the main object. Using the stairs makes me tired, but photographing them is a lot of fun. Check out the Full Post, and share with us some of your own stairs shots.
