He conjures up the image of a red number 8 on the back of a rabbit in a cage. And, according to the King, each person will conjure up…Read More

Always a pleasure! Completely forgot about the post in Fine Art. My apologies. I discussed the pepper with my colleagues, and it sort of stuck, and ended up in this post. 🙂

We’ve always enjoyed using slow shutter speeds to create impressionistic/abstract images of birds in flight. The white birds against the dark backdrop work well. However, have you tried enhancing the contrast slightly by brightening the whites and darkening the shadows just a bit more?

Excellent work, Edward. You are telling us such a beautiful story here—perfect exposure, sharp as it gets, with a beautiful background. You played the waiting game with this Masked Weaver and got precisely what you hoped for: the two big, hungry mouths to feed in the nest. Congratulations!

I love the dynamism of this shot, but I personally think that removing the backdrop detracts from its impact. To me, it starts to resemble a digital effect, and while it may appeal to many, I feel it transforms a fairly good natural image into something akin to digital art. In my view, it would have been the perfect shot if the zebra behind the…Read More

In the past month, we explored a range of iconic images, each with their own unique elements. However, what's fascinating is the common thread that runs through these portraits: each photograph uses light, form, and setting in a captivating manner to tell a compelling story. Whether it's the strong narrative elements in Ritts' "Fred with Tires," the timeless elegance in Avedon's "Dovima with Elephants," or the raw power captured in Sander's "Powerhouse Mechanic," each image draws us into a different world while maintaining these core artistic principles. Click on the thumbnails to view the images in a lightbox and select your favourite photo. We're keen to see which one stands out for you! Feel free to elaborate on your choice in the comments section.
Which is your favourite iconic photograph: Ritts' "Fred with Tires," Avedon's "Dovima with Elephants," or Hine's "Powerhouse Mechanic"?
