In a previous post here, I presented the wave photography done by Warren Keelan and Rachael Talibart. Since this is still a very attractive subject, and while I found some more aboutit, I want to share a couple of links with you. The Art of Waves: A Lifetime of Awe-Inspiring Surf Photographs talks about the…

Iberian lynx – Photos
encontrer dans l’hémisphère nord. L’une de ses sous-espèces les plus menacées est le lynx ibérique dont le nom rappelle qu’il ne se rencontre qu’en Espagne et au Portugal. Très menacé et très protégé, il est parfois possible de le trouver en images (le photographe a intérêt à se montrer discret et patient). Par exemple, il…
Waves!
Sometimes, I see a few photos that are really astonishing. Today, I would like to share the work of two photographers who have impressed me with subjects which may appear easy: Waves. However, both of them did a great job of showing them in ways that make them shine. Warren Keelan You should visit his website, Instagram, Facebook, 500px,…
Vincent Munier fears no snow
Wildlife photographer Vincent Munier short documentary film, titled “Arctique” is a way to discover how his great pictures are taken, inorder to display the great beauty of the arctic.
Iceberg – Upside down
Some photos are somewhat more difficult to biuld than others. Alex Cornell succeeded in combining all that is needed: An unusual subject: An iceberg just after it flipped over (the part which is normally deep under water bumps up out of the sea and is not yet worn out by the weather) and shows its…
9/11 seen from space
A few hours after the collapse of the Twin Towers, the Landsat 7 satellite photographed New York City keeping a different view of the dramatic scene.
The first Presidents of the United States of America
George Washington lived much before the invention of photography and his face is only known through paintings. However, John Quincy Adams was photographed by Philip Haas, a few years after he left office. Andrew Jackson was next and his picture was taken several times including the following daguerreotype, of 1845, a few months before his…
WWII in pictures – 20 chapters
The excellent photo gallery named InFocus, organized by Alan Taylor for The Atlantic has a very thorough set of pictures taken from World War II. While we may have forgotten what photographers had to go through in order to bring pictures back from the war, we should not forget their sacrifice and the sacrifice of…
In front of the lion
If you are a wildlife photographer, your experiences may vary from one place to another. But what would be your own reaction in the situation that Mattias Klum found himself into? He found a lioness who failed to see him at first, then walked so near that he could no longer focus on his long…
Jens Olof Lasthein
Documentary in panoramic photography format. Jens Olof Lasthein is a Swedish photographer who grew up in Denmark. He concentrated on reportage (for magazines) he gave a specific personal style from his mix of wide panoramic format and use of wide-angle lenses. Both techniques force the photograph to “enter” into the subject, to confront its intimacy…
Juergen Specht
I stopped recently by Juergen Specht web site and was hit by the sheer variety of its subjects. Just go to juergenspecht.com and you will also be hit by many interesting photographs from a German guy who moved to Japan for 12 years and traveled a lot. The picture was taken in Chiba, Japan in…
Simone Lueck
Documentary photography is a genre that has its difficulties (even when it’s not about war photography), but it also has the huge advantage of putting the spectator (and the photograph) in front of real people in their own lives, creating a window between two worlds. Simone Lueck made a two-week trip in Cuba and immediately…

Alan Douglas
I admit being in love with wildlife photography when it draws me to visiting the warm countries. Tropical regions and savannas are perfect for me. But some photographers have a notion of wildlife which pushes them to the cold waters of some oceans and cold countries. That is how I discovered Alan Douglas (somewhat through…
Franco Limosani
When a photographer rides freely in his/her free time, he/she will reach new photographic themes, some that are not in the daily routine. I think about Laurent Baheux who extracted himself from the daily rush of sports photography to join a wildlife photography hobby. Coming from another world (agencies and new documentary), Franco Limosani also…
John Ross
Sometimes, photography is hard to separate from painting and becomes a creative art with its own simplifications. This is what happens with some of the best works of John Ross. From London, he proposes photographs of human bodies seemingly covered with blood (kudos for red paint and nice lighting). But you should also explore the…
Peter Kayafas
The world of Peter Kayafas is mainly in black and white, but it’s our common world: A little out of our cities and their comemrcial malls, empty spaces are still there and contain the marks of our man’s activity. These abandoned marks in the wide empty spaces of North America are seen by Peter Kayafas…
Claes Axstål
So many photographers (even pros) do the same photo again and again, forgetting that they could use their own ingenuity to build their own pictures. Claes Axstål made a giant move when he decided to use Flash to do aerial photography. This made his photographs distinctly different. Nothing technically impossible, just a LOT of work…
Rijasolo
« Miverina » means « to come back ». Rijasolo was born in Madagascar and the « Miverina » series is a move back to rediscover this country. His photography is a kind of black and white photography which touched me deeply. Question : Is there something that could make you stop shooting photographs? Rijasolo’s…
Extreme photo: Lift-off from the sky
Some photos are harder to shoot than others. It seems that there are groups of skydiver enthusiasts who are celebrating each space shuttle lift-off with a coordinated jump. One of them created a majestic picture of one of these incredible moments (June 7, 2010 lift-off of a Delta 2 rocket, from Vandenberg Air Force Base).…
Semâ Bekirovic
Look at this photo from Semâ Bekirovic. At first it would seem of limited interest, then you will notice how the photographer included an object in the photography (the wave picture) and how this becomes a photo of “Water in Water.” I really like the way Semâ builds her photos to tell a story. Not…
Christian Del Rosario
It has been a long time since my last portfolio about a pure landscape photographer. When I found Christian Del Rosario, I immediately decided I wanted to give him a space here, because his pictures exploit light at its best. “An overcast sky is the friend of the landscape photographer” seems to be his motto.…
Time-lapse videos of North American cities at night
Photographed between late 2010 and early 2011, Montreal, Quebec City, Toronto, Manhattan, and Chicago have been captured by photographer Dominic Boudreault using a Canon 5D Mark II at night. Timelapse – The City Limits from Dominic http://www.dominicboudreault.com/ Mindrelic (another guy from RedBubble) spent a weekin Manhattan shooting time lapses of the city day and night.…
Hiroshima
On August 6, 1945 (we’ll be celebrating this event anniversary in a few days) the Enola Gay US bomber dropped the first atom bomb on Hiroshima, Japan. The images of the deadly effects of this new kind of bomb have been restricted in circulation by the US government, while they were taken and used in…
Sarina Finkelstein
Is there something that could make you stop shooting photographs? Sure, if my camera broke? (But, I’d just get another.) Shooting a tangible photograph is just the end product, though. Photographing is seeing, it is a way of conversing and interacting with the world. With my work in particular, it’s a license and a reminder…
