Her work is a perception of geometry with subtle colors, many images appearing dominated by sober tones of grey, white and black. Unfortunately she does not have a website showing her own work.

Because of my presence, regardless of the situation, I could never truly capture a scene as it was. Yes, I am creating a document, but it is flawed, mostly by that fact that I am there with a specific intention, to create something, therefore manipulating something. But there [...]

© Craig Reynolds
Craig Reynolds produces images that are intense visually and give a sense of emptiness. His portraits capture people that appear soulless surrounded in a flow of light. But the work I like the most are his images of night photography: a visual experience of night lighting mixed with an sense of mystery. [...]

Since I saw the work of Chris Buck few years ago, I was really surprised about the originality of how his subjects are depicted in the images. In a field as crowded as celebrity portraits, Chris raises with a level of creativity and visual expression that never fails to surprise. You can [...]

Quite a project, indeed. I am looking forward to see the book. 55 top photographers, each a different assignment “illustrating every imaginable aspect of Thailand today”. Very interesting indeed.

Interesting series, “City Rain“, by Bill Sosin. Images taken through his car windshield. Now you know what else you can do when you get trapped in traffic during a rainy day. No excuse to be creative, anytime.
