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 [...]

Wanderlust -> Thinklab

Wanderlust from Thinklab on Vimeo.

This is a very well shot and edited travel documentary by the talented folks at www.thinklab.com. It was inspired by a TED talk by Stefan Sagmeister, I’m making a guess here, but I think it may have been this one -> ‘The Power of Time Off‘. I am always impressed by [...]

Aaron Gustafson -> Photography

The photos of NYC Parsons grad Aaron Gustafson are hauntingly interesting. They seem to have a combination of depth and simplicity that combined, to me, act as a kind of visual stimulant. His works are as powerful as they are tranquil. His portfolio is very much worth a click through.

My Photography Update -> Shooting with the Canon 7D

You may have noticed (probably not), that I haven’t posted in about a week. In case this is your first visit to circuitbreaks, that is a rare occurrence. I usually post 4-5 times a week… What have I been doing? Well, I took some time off around Labor Day, saw some bands at ‘Bumbershoot‘, the [...]

Photographer -> Levi Wedel

The photography of Calgary based photographer Levi Wedel is crisp, light conscious and dead-on when it comes to framing and composition. He shoots primarily with a Hasselblad 903SWC film camera and enjoys printing his works ‘old school’ or analog. He also curates a fresh photography blog called ‘Images Found’, where he showcases images he’s found [...]

Photographer -> Noran Bakrie

Indonesia based photographer Noran Bakrie has captured some truly magical shots. I’m not certain what kind of equipment he’s using but I really enjoy the retro feel of his camera’s output. Above is a small sampling of the many great photos that reside on his site.

MARWENCOL -> Mark Hogancamp Story

This past Monday night I was invited by a friend to view a documentary directed by Jeff Malmberg called “MARWENCOL”, the story of photographer and artist Mark Hogancamp (creator of the incredible photos above). Without giving away too much of the plot, it’s about a man from Upstate New York who was brutally attacked and [...]

Dan Carrillo -> Seattle Artist Portraits

Recently, a friend of mine from work introduced me to these amazing portraits, shot by Seattle based artist Dan Carrillo with his 8 x 10 Burke and James and an 11 x 14 Deardorff studio camera named ‘Daisy’. Using an old technique called ‘wet-plate collodion’ on plates called ‘Ambrotypes’ his images are all one-of-a-kind, similar [...]
