© Henrik Kam 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, [...]
© Daniel Mirer I like photography that doesn’t have the pretension to exaggerate the visual language of the image. 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 [...]
© Yves Marchand and Romain Meffre Beautiful images and very intriguing topic. The ruins left behind in cities as they evolve and transition in time. The two french photographers, Yves Marchand and Romain Meffre, have traveled across Europe and the U.S. to portray vanishing architectural icons, concert halls where music has been forgotten, industrial buildings [...]

© Elizabeth Fleming A core quality of excellent photography, like any other form of art, is to elicit emotions in the viewer. Even considering the many necessary components of good images, the quality of the moment, the gesture, the emotional load of the image usually overtakes the center of attention and defines the reaction to [...]
© Mohammadreza Mirzaei The creative experience and appreciation for art is, without a doubt, a unifying experience across cultures and people. It is in this context that I have strong interest to learn about the work of photographers that are located in countries that at this time are less represented in the global art community. [...]
© Li Wei In times when one would think that any subject in photography has been explored, we find the work of Li Wei, a Beijing-based artist-photographer, whose theme is to photograph impossible scenes [he is the primary subject]. By creating these pictures, without the help of photoshop, his work is strikingly original. This is [...]
