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.
The photo-artwork of Gena Morgese is rather indescribable. It’s an image based exercise in storytelling and is without a doubt art. The familiarity is twisted into something new that forces the viewer to reconsider their perception.
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.
Philadelphia-based Rob Shields, generates flashy, vibrant and attractive photography-based digital illustrations.
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.
Damien Rudd has some really nice imagery in his photography portfolio both at his website and in his Flickr-folio. There is a lyrical dreamy quality about his work that is like a warm summer breeze. That sounded so super duper cheesey that it was kind of awesome, but seriously that is kind of what it’s like.
Mitch Dobrowner is a landscape photographer who has some absolutely gorgeous black and white imagery in his portfolio. The images are almost alien in their serene and subtle contrasts. He has somehow been able to capture the quiet stoicism of nature in a contemplative way that will make you want to get out from behind your computer and go explore. He also has some urban work that is equally alien and beautiful. It was impossible to choose an image that represents his body of work. I swear that every last image is a work of art. Serious talent and an amazing and wondrous eye.
Photographer, Qiu Yang has one of the more unusual portfolios I have stumbled on in the last several weeks. All of his imagery is unexpected to say the least and his use of color is lush, vivid and striking.
Photographer Genevieve Garruppo emailed me her work and I was really impressed. She has some really interesting fashion inspired work in her portfolio with some interesting twists.
Vincent Fournier was born in Ouagadougou, Burkinafaso in 1970. He grew up in Britany, France and is currently based in Brussels. His recent series of photographs simply titled, ‘Space Project’ is really beautiful.
The recently-formed Stockholm-based photography agency, Sylvie already has some really gorgeous imagery in it’s collective portfolio. Keep your eye on these folks.
Madrid artist/photographer Gabriel Sabando has some really unusual work happening throughout his portfolio. All of which is hard to take your eyes off of.
