  • Konrad Blum

    Landscape photography seems to require some work and long practice to be fully mastered. Konrad Blum has learned this lesson and is proving that he learned a few tricks here. Check his photostream on Flickr; I recommend it. Then, you will have to visit Konrad’s new web site: http://konradblum.com The specific photo I selected here…

  • Christophe Levet

    Generally speaking, those who tried their hand (or their camera) at concert photography noticed quickly that this is a specialty often made difficult by the tough lighting conditions. This only partly because of the lack of light (which is very real), but even more it comes from the near-impossibility to master your own lighting conditions.…

  • Luis Argerich

    Luis Argerich shot that photo on a visit to a local nature reserve. He found those trees and the sun was high right in the middle, the day was hot and the naked trees were really warm to the touch. Some people would drop the picture as either uninteresting or requiring too much post-processing, but…

  • Dave Mead

    Sometimes, the work of a photographer attracts my attention for reasons even more personal than usually. This is exactly the case here with the pictures of Dave Mead on facial hair. I loved it. In May of 2009, photographer Dave Mead traveled to Anchorage, Alaska to photograph the contestants of the 2009 World Beard &…

  • Emyr Pugh

    Emyr Pugh is both linguist and photographer, an unusual association which visibly gives him a tight link to people he meets, all the more in Mongolia where he lives. His web site, www.dogfen.com (‘dogfen’ is the Welsh word for ‘documentary’) is a window on Peoples and Humanity. Moreover, the great generosity of Emyr leads him…

  • Toby Smith

    In his photographies, Toby Smith creates a world of his own. From my very first contact with his work, I have to admit that I was shaken -altogether- by the perfect mastering of lights that seems to be out of our world and a personal sense of space that is most perceptible in the Estranged…

  • Misha de Ridder

    Who said landscapes and graphic design could not meet in a photograph? Not Misha de Ridder. The photo is called Bergwald and is from the series Abendsonne. It has been on show in 2009 at Juliètte Jongma Gallery in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Sometimes natural phenomena can become so estranged and mysterious, that we are inclined…

  • Jimmy Chin

    Photographer who are also climbers of the highest summits of our world know very well how difficult it is to render the tough conditions their activities are developing in and their beautiful environment. That is the single reason that I cannot avoid recommending a visit to the mountain photographs of Jimmy Chin. The shot below…

  • Joel Sartore

    Let’s celebrate the book from Joel Sartore, co-published by National Geographic, “Rare: Portraits of America’s Endangered Species”. It started out as something for him to work on close to home while his wife was treated for breast cancer (thankfully, she has since made a full recovery.) Showing animals on simple black and white backgrounds gives…
