Immpresive photos by  Ash Burton-Smith which are done with abstract forms in black and white. The long exposures and excellent compositions really work well with the subject to create a very etherial feel. B&W techniques Ashe is using, mostly because he is so cleaver, doesn’t miss colors looking at his pictures since one can imagine the colors thanks to the richness of gradation.  His compositions are so strong and powerful with amazing light and feeling.

Michal Giedrojc is a very talented photographer from Slupsk, Poland. His portrait work has an Avedon-like ability to capture a fleeting glimpse into the true soul of a person. He has done a number of images which have a surreal, dream-like quality to them. However, his People series (pictured here) focuses on the face and expression. He’ll turn beauty into ugliness and ugliness into beauty. He’ll let the beauty to be beautiful and ugliness to stay ugly… Let the mood to decide the outcome.

Colorful fashion London-based photographer Iain Crawford paints his models live during the shoot. The result is a captivating display of animated color. Iain Crawford spends his time throwing make-up at beautiful women. And taking photos of it. And getting paid for it by the likes of L’Oreal, Givenchy, Harpers and Vogue. Nice work if you can get it.

“Reduce to the max” may be one of the best advertising claims ever (SMART car). It also symbolizes for me the essence of what “makes” a great image. Colour, light and composition are everywhere. It is our job, so to speak, to take the abundance and compress it into a striking and memorable visual moment. Based in Switzerland, I have been travelling the world to find unspoiled nature and wildlife. I hope you find my portfolio inspiring and justice to the wonderful world we live in.

- Cheers, Mark Vincent Muller

Photographic masterpieces of Kim Holtermand scream of minimalism and moody tones. His work is extremely distinct and really has an epic style. If you’re a fan of photography this is one for you! Kim grew up in the suburbs of Copenhagen and throughout his childhood grew an interest in drawing. He had drawn from an early age but hadn’t taken art seriously until he got to college. Kim worked as a graphic designer while his interest in photography grew. He got his first SLR only a couple years ago and things have really taken off for Kim since that moment. Kim specializes in architectural photography. In a quote from himself “I heart Architecture”. Aside from architecture Kim also takes some really amazing nature and landscape photos, and has been thinking recently about beginning a to work with film. Here are some of his amazing works!

There’s just something about black and white photography.  Maybe it’s because humans are used to seeing the world in color, or maybe it’s because we associate black and white with a sort of “old time” feel.  Or maybe it’s that black and white photography force us to examine beauty not as a myriad of colors, but instead, absence of color. Today, we have spectacular black and white photographs of Andre du Plessis that will force you to look at life and its color in an entirely new way.  Hope you’ll all enjoy this post!

Anne Geddes was born in Queensland, Australia, on September 13, 1956, the third daughter in the family. Growing up, she pored over magazines such as National Geographic and Life (her favorite), with their high values placed on the strength and quality of their photography. She loved images of people and remembers being fascinated by the concept of a single still image capturing an exact moment in time that could never be repeated. At 17, Anne took a job with a chain of tourist hotels in New Zealand, traveling overseas for the first time. To record her day-to-day adventures, she began taking literally hundreds of photographs, observing and learning to appreciate the different qualities of natural light. When she was 22, Anne opened and closed her small retail-clothing store, Daddy Long Legs, and was hired as a secretary at a local television station in Brisbane, Australia, moving into a setting where a visual medium was at the forefront. She thrived in the concentrated, creative environment and also met Kel Geddes, the station’s programming director. Anne and Kel married in Hong Kong in 1983.
