I could be wrong, but the last one looks digital with heavy editing.

Every time I come to this thread I see this photo and I'm sorry, but it just looks like a half rear end point and shoot photo. The other photo is great, but this one, not so much.

Yeah, they certainly do.

They still show more restraint than people who push the sliders right and make awful over saturated crap. I think the difference is they take photos of highly saturated colours, but not crank the saturation on the photo after, necessarily.

Reichstag posted:

Half the photos in the link you quoted are high contrast and full of saturated color, so I'm a little confused about what you mean.

Wow, that's crazy. I assumed it was done in post as well, but that's genius.

All of his work is looking at landscapes in transition. It draws on the tradition of the sublime, so even when the work is peaceful there’s always this quality of on-the-verge-of-change,” Sutcliffe says. “Even if the photographs are sort of peaceful and idyllic there is this sense of this other, more interesting system at work.

On Self-Importance

I’m sometimes mystified by people who keep diaries. I never thought of my existence as being that important.

I have a deep-seated distrust and even contempt for people who are driven by ambition to conquer the world … those who cannot control themselves and produce vast amounts of crap that no one cares about. I find it unattractive. I like the Zen artists: they’d do some work, and then they’d stop for a while.

quote:

On the Present Day

“The past few years, I have been doing what I call kitchen paintings. I get the little boards that they put between the bottles when you buy wine, and I make acrylic paintings. I wake up in the middle of the night and do one of these paintings while I’m heating the water for my coffee.

Frederik Buyckx, who's studying his Masters at my school*, got an honorable mention in this year's World Press Photo. On one hand, it makes me proud to be studying in the same institution as him. On the other, it makes me wonder whether I'll be even as good.

*Or graduated, don't know actually but I did see him at school today so I dunno.

Each image was constructed using only two anamorphic sheets of (flat) inkjet paper, a roll of green seamless paper, a set of lights and a camera. The apparent three-dimensionality of each form is an illusion achieved through anamorphism and multiple strobes flashes (exposures) all executed “in-camera”. The colors of the forms are the result of middle mixtures achieved through multiple exposures. The colors were determined by a strict formula- the color spectrum was quantified, using the hexadecimal format, and then divided by the number of faces of a given Platonic Solid, each face was then assigned a fraction of the color spectrum. For example, an octahedron has eight sides so the spectrum was divided into eight equal fractions and each face of the octahedron was assigned one of these colors.
