There's this Swedish guy I came across elsewhere online, and his stuff just really blows me away. I feel like he's too good. There's obviously a lot of post, and I feel like he takes it right up to the line right before it becomes "too much post", but I don't think crosses it. His composition is incredible though. Really talented dude. He's got sharing restricted on his flickr, so you'll need to just take a look. "Ricky" https://www.flickr.com/photos/55582829@N05/sets/

He is probably representative of people who want more from photography than overprocessed photos of conventionally pretty scenes with boring compositions, yes.

It's crazy that he can just roll up to Rome on vacation and crank out an album like this one https://www.flickr.com/photos/55582829@N05/sets/72157626702187792/. This shot is really nice: https://www.flickr.com/photos/55582829@N05/5712449082/in/set-72157626702187792 Then again maybe it's not that hard to grab that stuff if you're in a beautiful spot and keep an eye out.

I'm usually late to the dogpiling party on things like this, so I got excited at the opportunity to lol. If you are new to photography, I think the best thing you can do is just lurk in these forums for awhile. You'll see the same arguments spurred by posts like yours spring up again and again, and you will be challenged by photography that lacks ostensible prettiness that you're used to seeing in so-called "good photography." The flickr account you posted is fine, but his photos don't seem to venture beyond prettiness. Perhaps you're attracted to the photos more because of the subject matter than the photography...the places he's visited do look very nice, sincerely. I'd like to visit some of those places and see the same sights.

Most of them are completely unremarkable, there are some relative gems but none of them are super interesting and they're almost all overprocessed. edit - digging deeper he really does have a few shots that shine far and above the rest, but the majority seems like filler real nap shit fucked around with this message at 03:53 on May 19, 2014 |

As others have said, the photos aren't particularly compelling and the bar should be set higher in a thread meant to inspire people to hopefully do better work.

Tuxedo Gin: you should go through the Landscape thread from start to finish, it seems to be the type of photography your into, it'll challenge your idea of what a landscape can be and plus it will hopefully challenge you a little as to what you think a good/interesting picture is.

try it with a lime posted:because you posted thomas kinkade's flickr account lol I looked at some of the sites posted recently here and found myself falling on the side of the documentative, "dead empty place" stuff. I guess cause I'm from that kind of place in America. Photographs that show reality, especially unusual or visually interesting subject matter, are my jam. I know next to nothing about photography as an art form, nor do I understand what makes a photograph sell. When I look at the Brooke Shaden stuff, it makes absolutely no sense to me, it's so excruciatingly contrived and false. How people could see those images and think "Yeah, this speaks to me on an emotional level" is beyond me, or maybe I don't know enough about the business and they're not meant to appeal in that way, maybe they're supposed to just be fantasy novel covers, but the books and prints links on her site say otherwise. Anyway, I like this guy, Milan Bures:   That's beautiful. Hido is consistently good as far as I've seen.

I went to the Ragnar Axelsson exhibition at the Reykjavik Musem of Photography yesterday. He's been a photojournalist for the Icelandic newspapers for years, and you might know him from the documentary and book The Last Days of the Arctic. This first picture is one of my absolute favourites, and I got to see it printed about two metres wide. Gave me goosebumps.

No, just post more photos from awesome photographers please. Trent Parke is an Australian photographer. His black and white work is very well known but his more recent colour stuff is also incredible.      You can also watch this short doco about him http://vimeo.com/6831560

I think these are beautiful: Sian Davey: Looking for Alice quote:This series is an illustration of family life - all the tensions, joys, ups and downs that go with the territory of being in a family. My family is a microcosm for the dynamics occurring in many other families. We are no different. As a psychotherapist I have listened to many stories and it is interesting that what has been revealed to me, after fifteen years of practice, is not how different we are to one another, but rather how alike we are as people. It is what we share that is significant. The stories vary but we all experience similar emotions. We are all vulnerable to feelings of anger, grief and depression. The list goes on...

try it with a lime posted:Why are 'cinematic' and 'painterly' sought after qualities in photography? Cinematic is often used when a photo tells a story in one image. Like a scene from a movie, but in one frame. It's a compliment to the story-telling aspect of a photo. Others use it to describe the aesthetics of a photograph, the lighting, staging, etc. I use it when both are present. Whether or not that's a good thing depends on the genre for me. I often like "cinematic" street photography more than candid portraits, but I don't like the over-done light everything cinematic style (if you want to call it that) that got really big in commercial stuff a while back. It does seem to be over used by a lot of photographers describing themselves though. Bottom Liner fucked around with this message at 06:29 on Aug 17, 2014 |
