About photographer Christian Weber from his website:
“Christian Weber (b. 1971) is a visual artist born in Cincinnati, Ohio. A few years after his birth his family moved to Florida where he started taking photographs at the age of fourteen. He later graduated from the Southeast Center for Photograpahic Studies which in turn propelled him to New York City into a career in the arts.
Creating assured images, Weber demonstrates a raw elegance that is at once provisional and precise. His celebrated portraits, architecture, and landscapes reveal a talent equally open to the verve and beauty of contemporary life. His photographs appear regularly in such publications as Life, Details, The New York
Times Magazine, and Interview. “
I discovered photographer Ryan McGinley today while perusing Do It For the Fame (such a great blog) and was just amazed by his work. Both his choice of locations and how his models interact with the chosen environment make for such gorgeous images. There is something both psychedelic and serene happening simultaneously.
Spencer Lowell has an eye for capturing imagery of strange things and places that just look amazing in still form.
There is what I could really only describe as a photo-journal in the Flickr pages of Sunny Bunny with the only exception being that each photo is stunning and amazingly composed.
Photographer Sabine Pigalle has an artistic and beautiful body of work. She pays special attention to the use of color in her highly composed imagery and moves fluidly between fashion-styled portraiture to still life.
Lithuanian photographer, Ugne Straigyte has a dreamy, lyrical and ethereal body of work
“Nollywood is said to be the third largest film industry in the world, releasing onto the home video market approximately 1 000 movies each year.”
Photographer Pieter Hugo traveled to Africa where he visited the sets of Nollywood in Nigeria and captured an incredibly haunting and truly remarkable series of images.
Photographer Ville Varumo manages to capture both personal portraits and misty, twinkling landscapes with equal ease. All of the images, be them of people or land are equally artfully composed and considered.
Photographer Bruno Dayan places fashion models within subconscious, glittery and floating dreamscapes. Be sure to check out his ‘celebrities’ section, there is some real hotness happening there.
Dark, lyrical, brooding and poetic images fill the portfolio of the amazingly talented photographer Kate Kirkwood. Her unique view of the world comes through clearly in her stunningly beautiful images. Serious talent.
Nienke Klunder is a really incredible photographer who tells stories basically through what you could call a photo-essay or series. Each is unique, powerful and runs the gamut for emotional range. The series above is simply titled, ‘Sequence 5’ and is really amazing. The images are undeniably thought provoking and really dive headlong into some interesting aspects of the human condition in the context of modern social norms and culture.
About Nienke from her site:
“Nienke Klunder Born in California in 1975 and raised in the Netherlands, Nienke Klunder holds dual Dutch and US citizenship. A graduate of the Breda Fine Art Academy, she participated in the residency program at Fabrica, Benettons Research and Communications Centre in Treviso. Known for her striking photographic portraits and thought provoking series and sequences, she has a multi-disciplinary approach to her work in producing sculptures, drawings and installations of both her solo and collaborative projects. Working mainly in sequences and series, she often uses self-portraiture to explore themes of identity and transformation. Her series are visual essays that are in turn comic, tragic, sexual and political. Moving between the roles of photographer and subject, her work has the effect of a series of cinematic stills with each image containing a larger story. During her time in Italy she met Spanish designer Jaime Hayon with whom she embarked upon an artistic collaboration that continues to evolve across a range of mediums.”
Photographer, Manoj Jadhav has some really gorgeous fashion photography happening both within a Behance portfolio and a personal website. The Behance folio has less work to see but is a little easier to browse.
Photographer Camil Tulcan has a very cinematic eye and is able to capture some really stunning moments that most people would never pause to witness.
Paul D’Amato has some really amazing urban slice-of-life photos in his portfolio. The amazing thing about them is that there is a hard knock life thing being communicated in some of the images but there are some that also feel very much about a celebration of life. The funny thing about his portfolio is that his commercial work could not be more opposite than the rest of his imagery. Someone hand this man a good investigative embedded piece of journalistic work. I don’t think you would be dissappointed with the results.
Pierre Debusschere is a photographer who approaches every image as an artist would a canvas and as a result each image he captures is a unique and beautiful piece of art. The colors and the compositions are just amazing.
Russian photographer Varya Vedeneeva, takes some very candid shots primarily of people and manages to capture momentarily something very personal in her subjects.
