slackinnnnn

my apologies, for not keeping up with this for soo long. disappointed with myself and will be posting up some photographers very soon.

Argentini

Guido Argentini was born in Florence, Italy. Interesting thing is that he studied medicine for three years at the university of Florence. But, at the age of 23 he decided to turn his passion for photography into a profession and started to shoot fashion and beauty. Guido's photos focus on eroticism and beauty. All his photos have a very intimate feel to them. His latest work is currently coined the silver editions and the photos are amazing. For more info and photos click here

Hoops

Tom Hoops a very well known British photog with amazing pics in fashion and portrait. His pictures have a lot of intensity to them. Not usually a lot going on in the background of his photos. The focus is on the individual and the intensity of their eyes. The picture with the man with the knife through his cheek has me at a lost for words.

advertising creativity

My focus today is on a non black & white photographer. I came across some pretty unique photos by Romain Laurent. One of the most prominent creative photographers. He is a French photographer and very well known for his photos and advertising work. He can be put in two catergories if you think about it, creative photography and advertising photography. He is definitely a photographer that should be checked out his work is so amazing creative and just compelling.

Aneta

Today I decided to focus on Aneta Kowalcyzk. She is a portrait photographer, but not just your average portrait photographer. They are not average portraits set against a plain backdrop. I also believe she is a fashion photographer as well and of course, :) , she specializes in black & white. Her color photos are also amazing.

Alin

Back in action :)
My internet is back up and let me introduce you guys to another photographer named Alin Ciortea. He does color and black & white photography. I really like the pic underneath of the little boy. I like that he is a small part in the picture but his presence is so large. Cause when you look at the picture, you see him first then you look around to see what he is looking at. I like the low angle of the shot the bottom of the frame starts right on the brick sidewalk and the top is the sky and building, seems proportioned perfect. And of course, I like the two images of the girls the one peeking from behind and the one called confession.
