Benoit Paillé -> Light Experimentation

I find these ‘Light Experimentations’ taken in northern Quebec to be very well captured and inspirational. Coming from a photographer who states “I hate landscape”, Benoit Paillé tries to create his own by modifying the environment with light. More beyond the link.

Lauren Marsolier -> Photography

I think artist photographer Lauren Marsolier is a genius. His ability to detect healthy tension and strong composition in a seemingly sterile location is inspiring. It’s one thing to capture a beautiful photo from something that is interesting and captivating from the get go, it’s another to capture something beautiful and interesting from a location [...]

Leica Portrait -> Joel Meyerowitz

Notes from Vimeo:

“An award-winning street photographer who has been creating memorable images in the great photojournalistic tradition since 1962, Joel Meyerowitz pioneered the use of color in this slice of life genre, and his classic book on Cape Cod, “Cape Light” was instrumental in changing the prevailing dismissive attitudes toward color photography. An inveterate Leica [...]

Elle Perez -> Photography

I came across the photography of Elle Perez recently. I enjoy the sense of honesty and humanity that he’s able to capture within each scenario or series. I also like that he’s embedded his portfolio into his Tumblr blog. Pretty clever and definitely worth checking out.

Christopher Payne -> Photography

New York based photographer Christopher Payne places the focus of his work on the documentation of America’s vanishing architecture and industrial landscape. I very much enjoy his ‘Asylum’ series (Asylum: Inside the Closed World of State Mental Hospitals (MIT Press, 2009)) from his portfolio site, capturing unkempt interiors and the remnants of things left behind. [...]

Simen Johan -> Photography

Artist Simen Johan was born in Kirkenes, Norway, and eventually made his way to New York city to study fine art at the School of Visual Arts. His dark but beautiful photographic work consists of hyper realistic scenes of live and taxidermied animal life that is often composited over a dramatic landscape. In short, the [...]

Martin Klimas -> Porcelain Figurines

These amazingly precise photos by German photographer Martin Klimas are absolutely brilliant to take in. Dropped from 3 meters, the porcelain figures are captured in mid explosion creating an effect that is rarely seen by the human eye in such detail. Super inspiring to those who love and appreciate sophisticated photography technique. Spotted -> @catoosha!

Screen Series -> Matthew Tischler

I came across Matthew Tischler’s photography works this morning while browsing my Tumblr dashboard. These images immediately caught my eye. Shooting through a screen is such a simple idea, but it creates a really fresh and familiar effect. His attention to color and composition takes his technique to an extra level. More to see on [...]

Paolo Novelli -> Kenya Photography: I'm a Star

Very inspiring portrait photography coming from filmmaker and a photographer Paolo Novelli. The stunning light and texture make them feel like old master oil paintings. More beautiful work beyond the link below (discovered on www.nalden.net).

Excerpt from his website:

“In 2009 I left for Kenya to work on a photographic project, I intended to portray the subtle balance [...]

Priceless Campout -> Steph Goralnick

NYC based photographer Steph Goralnick never fails to impress with her ability to capture seasonal events in a robust way. The photos above from a recent Summer camping/rafting trip are totally fun. Here in Seattle, we’ve been lucky to even approach 80°, so these images really make me long for Summer. I last posted in [...]

John “Chip” Scarlett -> Diver Photography

I recently discovered the amazing photography of John “Chip” Scarlett, an award-winning underwater still photographer and certified diver of 45 years. His photographs offer a rare view into the underworld, and in many cases, in a way that transcends the documentary style of photography and very much becomes that of fine art. So much amazing [...]

Next Stop Atlantic -> Stephen Mallon

A friend of mine posted this on her Facebook page today and I immediately took interest. The photo style and the subject matter was just too interesting for me not to investigate. These shots were taken by New York based photographer Stephen Mallon. What is happening in them is the MTA’s way of giving back to [...]

Artists Wanted -> In Focus: Pete Eckert

| Artists Wanted | In Focus : Pete Eckert from Artists Wanted on Vimeo.

Notes from Vimeo:

“Pete Eckert is a totally blind person. But through his photography, he proves that he IS a visual person, he just can’t see. Pete was the Grand Prize recipient of Artists Wanted: Exposure 2008, an international photography competition, [...]

NYC Blizzard Photos -> Steph Goralnick

I’ve been following Brooklyn, NY based photographer Steph Goralnick on Flickr for a while now. Her photos are always amazingly candid, full of style and stand-out personality. Recently she posted an unbelievable collection of monotone night captures taken during one of New York’s unusually harsh winter storms… so nice! Many more to be found on her Flickr [...]

Dave Ewald -> Life Photography on Flickr

Former Saint Paul, MN, current Portland, OR designer Dave Ewald has been adding to his Flickr stream lately with what he modestly describes as ‘proof of life’ photography. Some of my favorite shots from his collection (shown above) were taken in 2009 at the ‘Pendleton Round-Up’, one of the ten largest rodeos in the world that [...]
