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 [...]

Zoltán Vancsó -> True Life Photography

It would be incredible if we had the ability to harness time, stay within the good moments and savor them completely.  Zoltán Vancsó is somehow doing exactly that with every picture he takes. To me, they are all pure perfectly captured moments in life. Regardless of equipment, money, culture or land, he’s just locked them [...]

Heiko Waechter -> Photography

I’ve recently come across the fantastic work of photographer Heiko Waechter. I love her sense of light, color and compositional balance. She has the uncanny ability to produce images that are consistently bold in contrast and extremely graphic, one beautiful shot after another. Many more beyond the link.

Photography + Site Design -> Jean Malek

I came across this excellent flash based photography portfolio site of Jean Malek’s on theFWA.com yesterday. I must have missed it because it was posted a while ago and I frequent the FWA as a source for interactive design trends. Regardless, I love the motion design and full bleed/full screen experience on this site, not [...]

13th Witness -> Flickr Photostream

While browsing some of my favorite Flickr contacts last night I came across some new stuff by Brooklyn based photographer Timothy McGurr aka ’13th Witness’ and decided to post some of them. His work is consistently captivating, diverse, memorable… and he always manages to capture the most genuine of moments. He definitely gives me something [...]

Philip Bloom -> on Social Media

Philip Bloom / Social Media from Terry Wilson on Vimeo.

In the video above Philip Bloom discusses his use and overall take on ‘Social Media’. The two words actually make me cringe a little bit these days and I tend to avoid using them in conversation. People seem to get all charged up about the topic [...]

Amy Stein -> Photography

Updated:

In response to a few comments that I’ve received in regard to my earlier post on Amy Stein’s work, it seems that I was under the wrong impression that her photos were not staged… As it turns out, they are in fact staged! Sorry about that folks, I completely overlooked that key detail while [...]

Thom Kerr -> Photography

From classic pin up shots to new wave fantasy, Australia based photographer Thom Kerr has got a collection of work on his über quirky and refreshing portfolio site that will be sure to keep you entertained and clicking around for a long while. UFOs, zebra, girls with swords, undersea adventures and moments of grandiose interstellar [...]

Ruben Brulat -> Photographer

Paris based artist/photographer Ruben Brulat has his attention focused on capturing humanity. In his collection of photos that he calls ‘Immaculate’ you can sense that he is trying to capture the basics of humanity amongst dramatic, heavy man made architecture, to me making man seem all that more fragile and defeated by his own creations.
