Susan Barnett is a fine art photographer who has couple of very interesting series in her website. The first one,”After Neon“, are images of storefronts and reflections, with a mix of colors, patterns and simple forms that are visually compelling.

The second series is more interesting and original. Entitled “Not in your face“, she photographs the back of T-Shirts of people she finds in the streets. In similar ways, both series share the beauty of patters and patterns interrupted and speak about regular life and experiences. In the second case, the patterns on T-shirts. Visually, the sequence of images forms a line of storytelling, a form of biographic self-identity of the subjects.
In the series “Not In Your Face” the t-shirt is starkly evident but the photographs are not about the t-shirt per se. They are about self-identity and validation. Each one of these people reveal a part of themselves that advertises their hopes, ideals, likes, dislikes, political views, and personal mantras. They wear a kind of badge of honor that says “yes, I belong to this group not the other.”

Bela Doka
Bela Doka is a Hungarian photographer that is releasing a new limited edition book, “The Sundays in Life“, distributed by Schaden. I could not find images from that series of work but I wanted to refer to his photography in this post. What I find most fascinating about his style is the ability to present people in ways that are intimate and causal but striking. His images have energy and passion, immediacy and originality.
Chema Madoz
Exquisite and imaginative, the work of spanish photographer Chema Madoz. Stretching the visualization of reality with creative perspective and all without “Photoshop”.
Maureen Drennan
Sorry for the lack of postings these days. Being very busy on my side of the world. I will try to grasp again and hold the time to keep the blog moving along with more frequency. I like to refer today to the work of Maureen Drennan. I found her work very interesting, a nice mix of portraits and locations that blend very well together.
Nadav Kander
Nadav Kander is a comercial photographer, and perhaps one of the best portraitists in the world today. But he also has extraordinary work beyond portraits at both his assignment and personal portfolios. Here I share few images that I like quite a lot, for their simplicity, colors and composition, if give a sense of the quality of his work. If you visit his website take a look to the series “Bodies”. To browse his work when you load the website see on the top left corner the access to open a flash based gallery.
Sharon Harper
There are many ways to photograph the sky at night, and most place it within the context of the landscape. This is a different view, the series One Month, Weather Permitting by Sharon Harper, snapshots of pieces of sky at night with long exposures so the starts become like lines on a blackboard. The surrealism and elegance of the images is very pleasing.
The other series Moon Studies and Star Scratches is even more creative and appealing to me. Not sure how the images are done, but probably it is a play of multiple exposures that create images that are credible and surreal. And beautiful, of course.
Alexander Gronsky
The minimalist landscapes of Alenxander Gronsky are superb. These type of images require masterful composition of lines and elements so the subject blends from the small to the large context in ways that creates a whole and complete experience for the image. Very beautiful work.
Francesco Giusti
The work of Francesco Giusti is fascinating, specially the portraits. It has been a while I was so captivated looking at portrait photography.
