Richard Mosse
I first came in contact with Richard Mosse through his “Infra” series of brightly colored pictures of North Kivu (Eastern Congo) people, soldiers and refugee camps. I recommend it, but I was really arrested by the “Nomads” series: Shot in Iraq in March 2009, these photos (including the one displayed here above) are an indirect…

Nico Baumgarten
Nico Baumgarten has a pretty interesting way to build photography reports. This is always a middle way between a pure documentary journalistic approach and a more personal way to shoot pictures. I believe that you’d like to go and check his “blocking the G8” series about the July 2007, G8 summit in Heiligendamm, Germany. YLP:…

Haroon Sheikh
When people ask me what makes a beautiful photo, I have a whole lot of prepared answers ready, but in most cases I appreciate the simplicity of a picture. It does not always means that the photo has to be limited to two color bands neatly separated. As Haroon Sheikh shows in his photography work…

Hells Angels, by Bill Ray (Life Magazine)
Photograph Bill Ray and writer Joe Bride, on assignment for LIFE Magazine, spent weeks in 1965 along with the real Hells Angels when bikers in leather jackets on their motorcycles were not yet an icon of cinema, when Mad Max had not made them horrible violent men. They met with rowdy young men and women…

Hunter Freeman
The originality of a photo sometimes comes from the art direction or the actor’s direction and this is the case for the “Astronaut” series of Hunter Freeman. Created while Hunter had a space suit available for a few days after an assignment, it answers the question of what astronauts do when they are not working…

Chris Martin
What is the first tool of a photographer? Light, of course. Chris Martin has obviously taken this lesson to his heart with this photograph of young monks from Myanmar.

B&W HDR video with a Sony A700
I may not be a fanatic of the HDR (High Dynamic Range) images which are often exaggerating their effect. Here, Andrew Rees went much farther. He shot the city of Cardiff in Black and White, produced thousands of images to be assembled into HDR photos, then concatenated into a 12 frames per second video. The…

George Steinmetz
Once again, a change of perspective bring us a photograph that stops the eye in its flight over the pictures. The photo was taken while I was piloting my motorized paraglider over Laguna Colorada (Bolivia), which is the nesting site for some 50% of the world’s population of Jame’s flamingos. Flying a foot-launched ultralight at…

Joseph Linaschke
I was always slightly fascinated by concert photography, with all its technical obstacles and the added attraction of a spectacle for both eyes and the ears. Here, I was attracted by a picture from Joseph Linaschke (twitter: travel_junkie). The different perspective is the obvious distinguishing element. This photo was made while covering the Seal SOUL…
