Mirjana Vrbaski - ‘Verses of Emptiness’

This series of portraits from Vrbaski is quite elegant and beautifully exposing but it is the text accompanying the photographs that took my attention “Verses of Emptiness explores the essence of portraiture by stripping bare the classifiable layers of visual character and personality and replacing them with a naked silence and candid bareness”

Pantelewicz - Analogies

The work in this series ‘Analogies’ is one concentrating on peripheries. There from a reader point of view doesn’t seem to be any main aim from the work, but the images themselves are quite evoking. The image above ‘1a’ from the series is quite haunting.

Guy Sargent - What Lies Beneath The Surface

Came across Guy’s work via an online post. What interests me is his approach to photography. A lot of the photographs seem to be ‘in the moment’ not in most cases planned out, yet the way in which the photograph itself is taken seems quite methodical.

The image above ‘Mount Etna (Terra) Sicily’ I found quite reminiscent to the work of Simon Burch.

‘Hannah’ - by Natalie Aye

Just stumbled upon Aye’s work online and admittedly it is the type of photography I would like to take.

The work on her website mostly exhibits model test shots and for this reason each one is very serene and delicate. This being as the aim of test shots is to show a models beauty.

It is no surprise some of her work has been exhibited in the ‘National Portait Gallery’ in the UK.

Spencer Lowell

I came across Spenser’s work recently and found it quite interesting. His tends to revolve around the everyday and in some cases the abstract within the everyday.

The photograph above stood out for me mostly as an aerial photograph is quite a rare point of view. It creates a sense of hyperbole around the subject.

‎Today 174 years ago photography was unveiled to the French public. This was after Louis Daguerre had developed some of the first photographs. These photographs became known as Daguerreotypes.

At the same time in the UK Henry Fox Talbot had also invented the Calotype process. Some say he had created a photograph before Daguerre but had never published about it.

So I got a Fuji Instant 210 for Christmas or my birthday not sure which and I can honestly say I have not been as excited about photography for a wee while.

This is my 4th exposure of fruit stall in the village I live.

Found this on Flickr this morning. Is it funny how fine art photography sometimes breaks the rules but makes a far more interesting subject/ images.

Untitled by Rumano ll’s

There is always something so intriguing about photographs thats focus is driven by the elements. Here we have an image basically discussing the weather. Would this scene have been worthy of this recording had the elements not given the photographer the specific conditions that resulted in this hazy photograph? Probably not. Would the photograph have been as interesting had it been taken on a day of frolicking in sunshine? Probably not. Both its connotations and denotations would have been profoundly different, resulting again in different trails of thought from the viewer.

‘Silence/ Shape’ by Filippo Minelli

Minelli’s work sets about creating a visual obstacle within the everyday landscape. It is interesting that this interruption of the quotidian is both out of context with the landscape yet its interference is something of vast contrasting beauty. Minellie describes his project as creating chaos that engages the users imagination. This engagement with the users senses is what drives the success of this project.

“Decontextualization of a violent tool changing quickly the surroundings, creating chaos, blinding the eyes, used in natural landscapes,” [Minelli, 2012]

Richard Rocholl

I found Richard’s work months ago but just haven’t been in the right mind set to blog what I find. Rocholl’s work surrounds a the banal aspect of everyday scenes. He manages to tease interesting perspective from our quotidian that is what drew me to his work.

Bastarized by Walker Brockington

Came across this interesting piece today. What I find interesting is the fact it has been categorized a fashion advertisement within one of the ever so many ‘contemporary’ magazines ‘Vagazine.’ This placement of the work as such begs the question, what stipulates a fashion spread? This is not a dig at the work as I appreciate its artistic values and would gladly present it in a gallery, but what are the credentials behind the work being a fashion piece? Is there or should there be boundaries of classification within each genre of photography?

You can read his interview here.

Unknown Artist - Property of Society

Came across this un Tumblr today and found it to be a thought provoking portait.

A pet peeve of mine is when tumblr users post image on their blogs with no mention of the artist or even the title of the image. With out this information us new viewers cannot shed any light on the purpose posed by the creation of the work, leaving us quite handicapped in our appreciation of the work.

Eduardo Icaza - Self Portraits (2010)

I found this self portrait profoundly interesting. There is clearly some physical elements missing from the drawing in terms of it seeming unfinished, but the depth of connotations this lack of finish delivers to the mind in un-ending and quite overwhelming.

Is it just an unfinished piece of art or has the piece resolved itself in this most provokative way?

‘Joe in the Motel’ by Elene Usdin

Just came across Usdin’s work a lot of which revolves around the constructed image. However her Joe series is what caught my eye. The series is tender in its depictions of the child, all of which are beautifully exposed and treated.
