Fashion Forward: Showcase of Fashion and Editorial Photography

Robert Bowen — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 09:00:38 +0000

As we have undoubtedly heard our entire lives, a picture speaks a thousand words. And while that may be true of most, there are those who seek to tell a bit of a story with their works. Editorial photography, and perhaps some would say to a lesser degree fashion photography, is an area where a lot of effort goes into creating a story out of the piece. Through the costuming and composition, these shots come to life and their stories are told to the masses.

Below we have gathered a collection of fashion and editorial photography from some wonderfully talented shutterbug storytellers. We hope that you will enjoy this inspiring showcase of images and the tales they hold that are waiting to be told. Enjoy!

Flashes in the Dark: Low light Photography

Noupe Editorial — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 08:59:52 +0000

Photographers put a lot of focus and emphasis on the lighting for their pictures. After all, lighting is a powerful instrument in setting the overall tone and feel of the piece. Even when there is very little light to work with. In fact, it is in these situations that the lighting can create extremely emotive and distinctive compositions for the pics.

Giving the shadows so much reign to run freely, carving interesting depths and crevaces into the pieces. This can also prove very tricky for photographers as some equipment does not work as well under these conditions, and cannot take sharp, clear photos without enough lighting. Though in some cases, as we can see in a select few below, this can also give the images more tone and texture that fits well with that particular composition.

Below is a brand new showcase of low light photography to help get our readers inspired. Enjoy!

Dynamic Look at Life: Collection of HDR Photography

Robert Bowen — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 09:00:05 +0000

As we have talked about in the past, photographers capture moments of life and present them to us in much more visually enhanced ways. Allowing a new tint to be laid atop the world as we traditionally know and experience it. Especially when those photographers turn to HDR. By increasing the range between the lights and darks of a set of images these artists create some truly breathtaking effects when those images are combined or enhanced.

So below we have a collection of HDR photography that is packed full with some truly inspiring imagery. From the more subtle examples of this technique, to the more dramatic the showcase features quite a dynamic range of its own. We hope that there is a little inspiration waiting for each of our readers in the mix of works below.

Art in the Abstract: Showcase of Conceptual Photography

Angie Bowen — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 09:00:33 +0000

When artists get an idea poised for realization, there are many ways that they take these concepts and bring them to life. These artists, usually working in more abstract arenas, craft these concepts from their imaginations into the physical world by many means. Photography however, is not one of these areas that we tend to think of when it comes to more abstract and conceptual work. Photography to most is more concrete an artform, or at least that is how many of us tend to view it. But conceptual photography is a dynamic, thriving form of art that is worth taking note of.

Especially for those looking to be inspired by photography in new ways. These photographs are more thoughtful than just aesthetic. They are rooted in the artist’s vision and seek to get the wheels in your mind turning, not just impress and awe you with their astounding visuals. It is much more an intentional construct and composition designed to move and connect with the viewer in deeper more meaningful ways than most traditional photography.

Today we have a showcase of some very talented artists, who have brilliantly brought their visions into our reality through their conceptual photography creations. Take a look below, the inspiration is waiting for you.

Shades of Grey: Showcase of B&W Photography

Angie Bowen — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 09:00:03 +0000

Photography is such a vast field filled with so many amazing techniques and tricks for taking the world around us and stealing moments from it with often breathtaking results. One easy way for photographers to add emotion and impact to their captures is to strip them of color. B&W photography has such a knack for delivering such impactful pieces simply by taking them down to more basic levels and allowing the tone to be set in a much more subtle, yet evocative way.

Today we take a look at some truly inspiring images that use this raw energy that a B&W composition can instill. The artists’ work that we have turned our spotlight onto is devoid of colors, but in these stirring shades of grey you will find some powerful pieces speaking boldly to their viewers. We hope you enjoy.

A Showcase of Portrait Photography

Angie Bowen — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 11:00:39 +0000

When photographers set out to take a picture of someone, there are those who say they are out to capture a lie; while others will argue that what they are really trying to get at the heart of is the truth. Not matter what side of the fence it is you come down on, the fact is, when the photographer gets up close and personal with their subject, truth or lie, something magical happens. With so little between the model and the viewer, the emotions and impact come across so much clearer. No interference.

Today we take you up close and personal with a showcase of some truly inspired portraits taken by some gifted photographers. Through their lenses they have filled their frames with some of the purest emotions they could capture, and today we are lucky to be able to feature these emotive works to our readers. Enjoy this collection of stunning portrait photography.
