Photographing African Wildlife from an unusual perspective.

Will and Matt Burrad-Lucas are two wildlife photographers, that tried to push their photography to a new frontier. As they say in their blog: "The modern world of wildlife photography is saturated with thousands of talented photographers producing a huge number of incredible photographs. As a result it is difficult to produce original shots without really pushing the boundaries and striving for new perspectives. Often, this means putting the camera into places that may at first seem impossible." Read More...

New York Street Photography by Guido Steenkamp

New York City Street Photography a la 1940.


Bookmark and Share

Just a few days ago I stumbled across this phenomenal slideshow about Street Photography in New York City by Guideo Steenkamp, a Berlin based photographer. The video takes you to NYC in 2008 and somehow Guido manages to make it in a very strange way look and feel like in the first half of the last century - if it wasn't for the cars, the cellphones and the overall more modern look of the city. The soundtrack of the video certainly helps this impression, but even without it, that old feeling is still left with the viewer.




His website www.guido-steenkamp.com is worth checking our for everybody interested in street photography.

Reading a photography magazine, I stumbled across a report about photographer Nick Brandt. Nick found a passion for east African wildlife photography in the mid 1990's, during his time as a director in the music video world. He was shooting the "Earth Song" video for Michael Jackson when he discovered the east African animal paradise. Nick Brandt realized that this paradise is short of its extinction. Taking trips from Nairobi through southern Kenya to Arusha in northern Tanzaniaa few years apart, he saw that the free roaming animals became significantly less in between his journeys. So he decided to capture this paradise to be soon lost on black and white film. Read More...

The other day I found an email from my dear friend from Singapore in my inbox. She knows about my love to photography and decided to share this link. A link from an astonishing photographer who manages to capture an amount of soul in his images as I have rarely seen before. Maybe it is the story behind his images what makes them so brilliant, maybe it is the story inside the image itself. It is probably a combination of both. Read More...
