A nice portfolio of photos
Photography is not about duels among cameras and equipment. I found
this website by accident and I thought I like to share the site with the readers of these newsgroup. Someone else had mentioned about this site in alt.photography NG. However, I like to share it again, and credits are due to the photographer! From my opinion, the photographer is an excellent artist! http://photo.net/photodb/member-phot...37&include=all The photos also show that there are other parts of this world, where kids do not need to have videos, TVs, ipods or xboxes to have fun. |

They look more like Photoshop art work then photographs to me. Scott |

It depends on what you are after, if you are trying to create an image out of your imagination then the photos are very good, they have a fairytale kind of feel to them. For me this is not what I am after, I try to capture the world around me as I see it. Because my camera does not see things the same way I do I will sometime edit a photo to better represent what I saw. In the end however what I am after is a photo that when I look at it I get the feel for what it was like to be there. Clearly the photos the OP posted a link to do not give a good feeling for what he saw when he took the photos, they really look far more like painting then photo, in many of them I think he should pop in a unicorn, it really would not look out of place.

Scott Are you sure that you know how he sees the world, or what he was feeling when he took these pictures? I certainly don't. I enjoyed looking at some of them, and when I have more time perhaps I will look at and enjoy more of them. Allen That they are works of art there is no question, but I don't view them as photographs. To me a good photograph brings me to a place or event just by viewing the photograph. In viewing the photos the OP linked to I don't get the feeling I am seeing a real place, fine for fantasy art, but not what I am looking for in a photograph. This does not mean I don't think he images have value, I just don't think of them as photographs. I have the feeling that if you were to see the original photos that these are based on you might feel a bit cheated, kind of like a magic trick looses all appeal once you know how it was done.

exactly! ... what I am after is a photo that when I look at it I get the feel for what it was like to be there. I have digitized a few thousand of those feelings.. http://y23.com/pics/y23stockpic-free-fr-2jan08.html To me a good photograph brings me to a place or event just by viewing the photograph. or a selection of different photographs, presented in a way where you can QUICKLY see a selection... even on a slow internet connection ... so I had to create my own way to exhibit a gallery. have a look: http://y23.com/pics/y23stockpic-free-fr-2jan08.html .... criticism welcome. |

I have the feeling that if you were to see the original photos that these are based on you might feel a bit cheated, kind of like a magic trick looses all appeal once you know how it was done. Scott For me a photograph should "speak" on a variety of levels. That is to say, the viewer gets from it what he brings to it. From the novice to the most sophisticated, and to those in between, the image should present/provide an effective experience for all levels. The images suggested in this post, for me, are one dimensional relative to their content. Much like a Rockwell painting, they smack more at illustration than art. Certainly the display of technique lends itself to evidence of an acute understanding of the craft/process of photoshop. But as a whole they are, to me, a bit too sentimental. In that light, Ansel Adams was certainly the preeminant darkroom maestro and applied his prowess to add power to his otherwise documentary images. Personally I'd much prefer too look at Mario Giocomelli, Clarence John Laughlin, Sebastiao Salgado or Eugene Richards to name just a few. Their images are powerful, haunting, as well as evocative. |
