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"?

I took this photo tonight with my phone because I really loved how the older building contrasted with the new, modern one behind it. Even though it’s much smaller, the white chapel looks absolutely majestic.

We like it, Riette. Mobile phones are handy indeed, but using your camera could offer much more creative scope. Next time, include your settings, technique description, and shooting time. As a Pro member, you’re eligible for critiques, enabling us to provide more targeted feedback.

I remember seeing this photo almost two decades ago when I was just starting in photography. The way it arranged so much beauty in a tight, triangular formation of bodies really struck me. It had a big impact on how I view great photography.

I spent a lot of time trying to capture motion in one frame, and forgot about the background images, the stationary images that show motion.. Understanding the sport is vital, and although these images are still, the emotions are enormous, and the concentration is immense.
ISO 200, f2.8 @ 500th sec. I needed to try and seperate the subject from…Read More

I would darken the image a little bit more for more visual impact Antoinette.

Title: ‘The Girl with Pearls’
Camera: Canon 5dMk4
Lens: Tamron 70 – 200mm
Details: 1/200 sec at f8.0, ISO 250
Flash: Main – Godox AD600BM camera left, Fill – Godox TT685 speedlight camera right.
Originally shot for colour, magenta on one side of the face with a blue fill light, I felt it could also work as a dramatic black and white.

Without delving into a comprehensive photo critique focusing on expression and skin retouching…

I’d like to offer a tip: Your subject’s pupils appear rather large, making the irises look too small. Next time, ensure you use a strong modeling lamp on your key light, or position a small LED light on a stand next to you. This will help dilate…Read More-
Really useful tip. Thanks Danie. Regarding skin etc. I was going for a harsh dramatic feel but I think I over cooked the harshness of the lighting leading to all sorts of problems in post loosing mid tones.

Such a simple yet effective image – mobile phone cameras really do make it easier for us to capture moments spontaneously. I believe it was Chase Jarvis who said, “The best camera is the one you have with you,” and this seems especially true for mobile cameras.
Now for my subjective feedback: If you weren’t alone, how about including someone in t…Read 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!
