Strangers in the Light explores the dominance of media screens in contemporary life, from a connected family gathering to a online confessional. Landscapes or interiors, her images also refer to the narcissistic self-awareness expressed on social networks and the new approach to quick, light mobile photography that affects our visual culture
This body of work – spanning 11 years and 14 countries – explores the intimate relationship between humanity and its most vital natural resource. Blackmore’s photographs poignantly illustrate the unfolding drama of the global water crisis and how it is affecting those caught up in it; a billion people without access to clean water, another four billion without an adequate supply. Against this dire backdrop, the work also celebrates our primal and spiritual bond with nature’s essential resource.
Pedro Guerrero, a fine art and architecture photographer best known for his association with architect Frank Lloyd Wright, died yesterday at home in Florence, Arizona, according to reports in The New York Times and Los Angeles Times. He was 95. An art sch
Perhaps no images have captured the vicious conflict in Syria as graphically as Tracey Shelton’s shots capturing the moment a tank blast killed three rebel fighters at a barricade in Aleppo. They went viral and were quickly picked up by mainstream media around the world. Few realised that although they look like stills, they were actually taken from the video she was shooting there on a Canon 7D.
The photographer Platon is known for his portraits of powerful leaders such as Vladimir Putin and world-changing figures such as the Little Rock Nine. But …
The photographer Robert Nickelsberg has been making trips to Afghanistan since 1988. His new book-length project, “A Distant War,” goes past the current, seemingly intractable American invasion to show how a nation has been beleaguered by decades of almos
Until earlier this year, no new full-frame, aka 35mm-size image sensor-based digital SLR had been released since 2008. Since the beginning of this year, however, the floodgates have opened for full-frame DSLRs but the Nikon D600 is the first model to be unveiled that does not seem to be aimed directly at a professional photography audience.
My simple rule in all likelihood is too simple. I can already think of all kinds of situations where showing the photograph of a dead person who was unknown to the larger public still would be newsworthy. But what I’m really after here is that when someone says that such a photograph is “newsworthy,” then I’d really like to hear why.
The project began in 1993 and continued until 2002, but the work was not published until they reached adulthood. Margaret wanted to ensure that she first received explicit permission and consent from her daughters. They are moving images that transport us to a universal summer where the girls play like creatures from Scandinavian folklore, protected and threatened by nature.
JeongMee began The Pink and Blue Project with her daughter, when she was five years old. She was crazy about the colour pink, to a point where she only wanted to dress in pink clothes and play with objects of the same colour
Textures, compositions, objects, animals, disturbing characters and graphic elements create unique compositions that emotionally captivate the spectator. It would be a futile endeavour to attempt to explain his images, for they come from a way of telling that cannot be translated into another discipline
Like other recent cameras in Sony’s SLT lineup, the A99 uses the company’s Translucent Mirror Technology, which simultaneously directs light to both the image sensor and the Phase Detection AF sensor for faster speeds. On the downside, the technology prevents placing an actual optical viewfinder in the camera but there is Sony’s crisp 2359K-dot, XGA OLED electronic viewfinder, which is clear and accurate.
