I love the dynamism of this shot, but I personally think that removing the backdrop detracts from its impact.

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 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.

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.

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-

Photographing cocktails is an art that captures the essence of mixology. Each shot requires meticulous attention to detail, balancing colors, textures, and lighting to showcase the drink’s allure. The play of light on ice, the vibrant hues of ingredients, and the intricate glassware create visual symphonies. It’s about capturing not just a…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!
