I usually prefer to look at photographs that are organized as a cohesive series of images, but the work of Lina Scheynius, a photographer from the Sweden, is bold and reminds me that good photography is not only about seeing differently but also about expressing it with a distinct visual language, even when this involves [...]

Take a look to the work of Rory Carnegie, a photographer located in London. The different series are very cohesive while showing quite a large variety of work. Excellent pictures all around. The series “Autoportraits” , where the subjects press the shutter to take their own picture, is awesome.

Subjects portrayed in simple poses against simple backgrounds using just daylight to highlight the beautiful color of the hair. Like every good portrait series, it is [...]

Great photography can be created by finding a moment of chance, by seeing the right gesture, by encountering the right light, and by framing a striking composition that places all the elements in relationship with each other. Great photography can also be imagined and created by mixing elements of reality in ways that become [...]

“Los Toros” by Michael Crouser

I’ve been sad in the bullring, but also exhilarated beyond what can be found in everyday life. It makes one silent and it makes one gasp and stand and cheer and hide one’s eyes. And it is beautiful, if one cares to pay attention. Form and shape, made and gone. Partnering with that which [...]

With a mix of both fine art personal images and commercial photography the work of Henrik Kam is quite beautiful. Looking at his work reminded me that small details can turn an image from just ordinary to extraordinary. Take for example the image of the small pier above. Well crafted, nice tonality, smooth [...]

Images that are not too complex, not too simple, just the right blend of subjects, light and composition to create pictures with interest, photographs that are a great pleasure to look at. This is what caught my [...]
