Brandon Stanton: The Hard Work of Dreams

In 2010, Brandon Stanton started taking pictures of people on the streets of New York City and posting them on a blog. After thousands of conversations and pictures, Brandon realized he wasn’t a photographer. Rather, he was a believer in connection, in community, and in basic human sweetness. In large part, Brandon’s work has been so influential because he removed himself from the equation and allowed the communities he documents to speak for themselves. Brandon’s... read more ›

Horizontal, Nude + Otherwise Rad Urban Dance Photos from Jordan Matter [and How They Land Him On the Today Show!]

Dance is a universal form of expression. The spontaneous or choreographed movement of a human body tells a story, reflects social commentary, can be a spiritual exercise...or just damn fun. (impromptu dance parties are encouraged in my family...) We are born with this understanding of movement. Babies dance when they hear music. Dance even transcends humanity - even animals dance. Suffice to say I've had a long love-affair with capturing human movement in still photography,... read more ›

Torres used three dimensional gifs to make these photographs even more dynamic. Click through the gallery image tabs above for more examples of Torres' work.

Emerging Talent: Double Life + Self Portraits of Ophelia Olive […or rather, Nekole Kemelle]

ophelia olive on chase jarvis blog
Welcome to a series of posts I'm calling Emerging Talent - where I'm spotlighting the work of photographers and filmmakers on the rise. Some are shooters that me and my spies will uncover from 500px or Flickr - others might already be shooting campaigns, but in both cases I don't care about what the "industry" says. This is simply work I like. IMHO their careers are either on the move or are about to be.... read more ›
