New York City based Craig Feder has a rich history in photography and always travels the NY city streets with his camera. This resulted in an almost iconic series of the people of New York City. Craig has managed to capture the kind of people that caught my eye when I was in New York, but who he calls ‘the invisible people’. They are the kind of people that would stand out in any other place in the world, but as New York is…Read More »

Portuguese photographer Eduardo Nascimento contacted us about his most recent and personal work called ‘Treshold’, a series of personal portraits along with a short essay about the concept. The series is all about perception, boundaries and intimacy: “Threshold is a study about the limit. Of the photographer on the other, of the observer on the other, of the other on the camera. Its double meaning reveals that we are also facing an exploration of the conditions of imminence. Threshold questions the portrait’s nature, acting…Read More »
It’s not easy to distinguish yourself as a conceptual portrait photographer, as there’s tons of them out on Flickr who try and get a bit of recognition for their work. The photography of Diana Lemieux sets herself apart though! Based in Boston, she creates expressive female portraits that are both raw as emotional.
” I started photography around 2005 when I was living in Brooklyn. I’m in Boston now which is my hometown. My passion is creating conceptual stories that have an air of mystery…Read More »
“What does love look like? Anything. As long as two people match, no matter in what way, it’s love.” (The Morning News)
Why not to be a bit obvious and start the day talking about relationships? They are so simple and, paradoxically, so complicated, so unpredictable, so full of possibilities. We accept human beings as social animals but love is still a mystery in our lives, even Science trying to explain it as hormone reactions.
What does make us interested in another person? What does…Read More »
London based photographer / videographer Robin Bharaj is a real multi-talent. The self-taught artist with Indian roots was well on his way to become an IT specialist, but as soon as he started doing the 9-5 thing he realized it wasn’t for him. He made the brave decision to focus on a creative career instead and embarked on an endless journey of exploring, perfecting and applying his creative talents to real-world situations. He started out shooting pictures the UK Grime scene which had the…Read More »
An old saying goes “The more you practice, the better you get”. New Hampshire 24 year old born photographer Sarah Ann Loreth took that advice to advance her skills as an artist with her 365 days project. Basically for a year you take a picture (mostly self-portraits) every single damn day. The easy part is shooting the image, the hard part is to come up with a challenging idea and concept day after day. It take a huge amount of determination…Read More »
The 26 year old Carlos Nascimento from Portugal is professionally speaking a sound engineer working in film and advertising sound post production. However, for the last 5 years he’s been picking up the camera more often and firing away. So far it is just a collection of random shots, somehow it feels like a visual scrapbook. Not to push anyone or anything in a certain direction, but… I can see Carlos making a killer non-motion picture combining his sound…Read More »
I stumbled across the works of England based photographer (and super multi creative) Lee Basford in our Shuttercrack group on Flickr. With his images shot on the Japanese Island of Hokkaido he tells us the beautiful story of an old school working horse farm. What might seem to be the simple life is actually hard labour that requires a great set of skills. It might be hard to grasp for those caught up in the paper…Read More »
Documentary / fine art photographer Nick Pironio, based in Raleigh, North Carolina, sent us some amazing photography the other day. Although the series he saw fit for us were good (‘last night’ & ‘Laura’), we personally favoured some of his other pictures. In his impressive photography portfolio we found striking portraits from barbershop college students, urban chicken ‘farmers’ and former U.S. senator and Democratic presidential candidate in 2008; John Edwards. With more interesting concepts and projects on…Read More »
The photographs of Poland born Jan Cieslikiewicz got me by surprise when I saw a monkey in one of his pictures. Then I discovered that this guy has one sick portfolio of travel images. Maybe travel photography isn’t the right word, I think he’s uses traveling as a mere instrument to shoot his pictures. Most of my recent posts have been about people who set out to explore the world. I find it rather fascinating to read about the people that…Read More »
