Skip the Fancy Gear — Give Me Vision. Surreal Environmental Portraits by Budi CCline

Indonesia-based photographer and digital artist Budi "CCline" taught himself how to create these painterly photos. With nothing more than an old camera and an outdated version of Photoshop he brings to life a body of work that mixes the natural landscape with the local populations - human and animal, in a vivid, painterly style that is all his own. His work is a great reminder that it doesn't matter what tools you use, it's all... read more ›

At 26 years old, Chris Burkard is living the dream of traveling around the world to shoot surfers in exotic places. He's been recognized for his work with some prestigious awards including a first place spot in the Red Bull Illume competition.

Emerging Talent: Niki Feijen’s Interiors of Intrigue [and What Pro Photographers Need To Learn From Non-Pros]

ChaseJarvis_EmergingTalent_NikiFeijen_AmyRollo

I was first introduced to Niki Feijen's work via Amy Rollo who helps me with the Best Photo Locations pieces on my blog. I saw his stuff and, naturally, poked around to learn more about him. Ironically, one of my favorite parts of Niki's backstory is that he's not a professional photographer. He has a day job, and photographs his passion - urban exploring. And then something occurred to me: while it may be unconventional... read more ›

Drug Abuse Portraits: Haunting Before & After Drug Addiction Photos by Roman Sakovich

London photographer Roman Sakovich has hit a nerve - many nerves that is, including mine - with his recent portrait series titled "Half". Thru some simple but astute post production, Sakovich combines the two halves of a person...on the left 'before' addiction & abuse, and on the right, after, at full throttle. Certainly the studio photos have been enhanced, but the results don't waver. Simple photographs, compelling + robust narrative. Signs of good art. #Respect.... read more ›
