Interesting photographic series at The Curious Brain by Tokio based Photographer Hal. He photographs couples in a vacuum inside plastic bags. You have to see it for yourself as it's difficult to visualise. The photographs are both beautiful and disturbing at the same time.
Photographing landscapes is difficult. Producing images truly interesting and captivating is definitely not an easy task and in my opinion few photographers can pull it off. Misha de Ridder, who I discovered today via wayneford's posterous has a beautiful series that I found particularly enthralling.
This line from the article sums it up nicely:
‘My work is made from the perspective of someone who lives in a city and wants to know how to relate to wilderness,’ writes de Ridder, ‘to the greatness of nature and in the end to the nature of his own existence and inevitable death.
I'm a fan of Daniel Milnor's work. Unfortunately I don't remember how I came across this video so can't provide a source. Someone I follow via RSS must've posted it and I sent a link to myself to remind me to watch it, but I didn't write where I saw it as I normally do.
Anyway, it's an interesting insight into the way Milnor works. In this video he shoots old-style, which I love. By that I mean he shoots black & white film with a Leica, and to me that combination sounds like heaven. I also like his approach, where as he says in the video, he's shooting sequences and not necessarily looking for that one shot. He focuses on telling the story that's unfolding before him and this shows in his work. While each photograph is beautiful in its own right, it's the unified body of work that makes it truly brilliant.
It's worth exploring his portfolio and his blog.
UPDATE: Also worth exploring are his Blurb books. Really cool.
