Yeah, and much of Shore's work includes elements that make them very easy to place in time. Nothing like that in this one, but I don't think it needs it, as it's a strong image without temporal context. And are those birds perched at the water's edge? Let's say she's looking at those birds. A photograph being in part a gaze, Shore's captured her gaze, too. Very abyme, but it also creates a sort of tension--a holding of one's breath so as not to disturb a delicate scene. The railing not only directs our eye toward her, but it obscures her sexuality (as does the distortion of the water affecting her legs), so we begin to see her not as a beautiful woman in a pool but as a person in the midst of contemplation. The edge of the pool, the furniture, the body of water, and the far shore in the top of the frame all create pleasant lines that direct us toward the top right, toward the birds and the objects of her gaze. If those aren't birds, well, whatever, most of those visual elements still work.

Alain Delorme's series of Shanghai cargo cyclists and their tottering, totem-esque loads. http://www.alaindelorme.com/?p=works&ga=totem Not sure what these are shot on, but the processing is very interesting.

If you click through to his site, he has a pretty interesting setup. It seems like very typical tourism-promotion material intermixed with his incredible landscape work. I'm sure it'll only help nudge you that much closer.

I've been staring at Richard Mosse for the past week. Infra is just crazy.

Gazmachine posted:I wasn't terribly sure where the best place to post this was, and I think it sort of fits here, but would anyone know a good place to peruse some awesome photobooks and works in that kind of format? I want to look over a load of great photobooks and look into what I like about them, as I'll be making one of my own, of sorts, at some point this year (when all the content is finished). Try a library.

Actual foliage will render pink, while anything simply camouflaged will not. Was used in reconnaissance, but seems like it's made Moss' career at this point. This isn't even particularly new material, but it's been goddamned everywhere lately. Can't get enough of it, though, and I'd kill to see the exhibition.
