Bruno Dayan

Fashion photography usually doesn't appeal much to me, but Bruno Dayan ads a touch of surreal that makes his work very interesting.

Martin Roemers: Kabul Portraits

'He is obviously not a war photographer but nor is he a photographer of peace. Martin Roemers photographs the time between war and peace. He frequently arrives once the action has been and gone, at a point when the situation is still fragile and uncertain and the sounds of war have just died away. But peace still has to be won.'
Frits Baarda.

Martin Roemers was commissioned by the Dutch Army Museum to take this series of portraits of ISAF troops in Kabul, Afghanistan in 2002. The photographs were taken with an antique plate camera that Martin had borrowed from an Afghan street photographer. The exposure time of each portrait was 10 seconds.

Portraits by Alexey Nikishin

A good portrait it not that is similar to model, and that is not similar to anybody another. It opens private world of the person, its character, but does not do it directly. After all it is obvious that the photo never fascinates us so strongly as when we, intensifying attention, we understand only half of its language. The latent harmony is much stronger than the obvious. Beauty visible - on a surface. And invisible - beauty of relations and nuances - inside.

- Alexey Nikishin

Hunters

David Chancellor is documenting the game industry in Sub Saharan Africa. Wealthy European and American visitors paid settler farmers to guide them on hunting safaris in the area. Similar tourist hunting industries soon developed elsewhere in Africa.
Animal rights groups fundamentally oppose hunting and there is a lack of consensus among conservationists regarding the acceptability and efficacy of hunting as a conservation tool....

Impressive emotional landscape photography by Michel Rajkovic.

There are places that carry you, lights that you freeze and moods that you fill with emontions. It is through a long period of research and location scouting that his work begins. Michel Rajkovic does not try to capture the landscape as we perceive it. On the contrary; patiently, long exposure times, it invites the time and chance to capture their size. Giving great care to each composition, taking the necessary time to research and obtain the best conditions for the shooting: time, light and framing…

In these moments there, forgotten art and times of sightings, Michel Rajkovic just tries to share the emotions he felt: in a dream, the middle of nowhere.

Back to the Future

Nice project by Irina Werning.

'I love old photos. I admit being a nosey photographer. As soon as I step into someone else’s house, I start sniffing for them. Most of us are fascinated by their retro look but to me, it’s imagining how people would feel and look like if they were to reenact them today... A few months ago, I decided to actually do this. So, with my camera, I started inviting people to go back to their future.

ONGOING PROJECT...
by the way, this project made me realise Im a bit obsessive...'

Eric Johansson: Imagemanipulator extrodianair

'I'm a 25 years old freelance photographer currently living in Norrköping, Sweden. Working mostly with personal projects and commercial work. I see myself as a photographer as much as a retoucher, a combination that is only limited by my imagination. All photos on this website are personal projects and each one is a new challenge and a way for me to become better and better. I hope you find my work inspiring!'

Jane Evelyn Atwood

'Born in New York and living in Paris since 1971, Jane Evelyn Atwood is one of the world’s leading photojournalists. In 1976, Atwood bought her first camera and began taking pictures of a group of street prostitutes in Paris. It was partly on the strength of these photographs that Atwood received the first W. Eugene Smith Award, in 1980, for another story she had just started work on: blind children. Prior to this, she had never published a photo.'

Beautifull realistic paintings by Alyssa Monks
(i thought they were pictures..)

“When I began painting the human form, I was obsessed with the human form and needed to create as much realism as possible. I chased realism until it began to unravel and deconstruct itself,” Alyssa states, “Realism and Abstraction are in a symbiotic relationship – they need each other to exist and eventually become the same.”

The gallery that represents her

quote:
'I concentrate my work on light, colour, silence and on the look that accompagny the spectator into the work without imposing anything, without brutality. I love taking pictures of people between their childhood and their age of maturity. However, a rebellion spirit does not interest me.'
