Bird photography inspiration by Nick Stacey

Diana Eftaiha — Thu, 23 May 2013 13:43:09 +0000

"I just love to go into open spaces where all I can hear is birds singing, it helps me to recharge my batteries.

I live on the Somerset levels in the UK, and I always look forward to my monthly day visit to Slimbridge WWT & I feel very privileged to visit my friend’s amazing feeding station. Have never seen so many different bird species fluttering around someone’s small garden.

I use a Canon EOS 550D camera body & a Canon 100-400mm IS lens." ~ Nick Stacey

Surreal black and white photography by Vangelis Bagiatis

Diana Eftaiha — Mon, 20 May 2013 14:11:18 +0000

Vangelis Bagiatis was born on January 30th, 1978. He lives and works as an IT analyst in Athens, Greece. Most of his free time is dedicated to photography, either by watching the work of famous or less famous photographers, or by trying to embody his influences in the pictures he creates himself.

His occupation with photography began some years ago and, since, is the ideal media for him to express his thoughts and feelings. His subjects come from whatever catches his attention during big walks around his city or any other place he happens to visit: nature, water, sky but also buildings, urban landscapes, and streets.

Moody, abstract and sometimes surreal scenes are usually the outcome of his work. Lately he’;s been experimenting a lot with the lensbaby composer, which seems like the ideal tool to help him realize his ideas. The moment of the capture is usually followed by many more moments of post-treatment. Pressing of keys, until the picture on the screen matches the picture in the head.

Film photography inspiration by Stefania Jane

Diana Eftaiha — Sun, 19 May 2013 17:36:44 +0000

"Five years ago a friend of mine gave me a film camera. From my first roll of film I fell in love with everything related to film photography. The feeling you get after you develop your film, the element of surprise and the amazing fact that your memories are impregnated on something tangible and not just data recorded electronically are just a few of the reasons I love film. The skin tones and textures are way above digital pictures and the sound my camera shutter makes is music to my ears. I wasn’t always willing to share my pictures. They were too personal for me. I started taking pictures traveling, because I wanted to record each memory in a special way but lately I love taking portraits of close friends. My photography is my book of memories, that’s why it’s mostly for me. It is a passion I long to keep all my life but one that I am now gladly willing to share with others." ~ Stefania Jane

Black and white street photography by Turodrique Fuad

Diana Eftaiha — Wed, 15 May 2013 17:31:14 +0000

"My name is Turodrique, 40 years old, and I’m a mid-life crisis photographer. I take pictures of everyday objects (scenes, people, etc) which I find emotionally curious. Each picture is mentally tagged with imagined conversations, situations and made-up stories. These tales amuse, confuse and amaze me, but mostly, they help me see myself with blunt honesty. In assigning seemingly ‘discretionary’ emotional qualities to the stories I capture, I now realize that these stories are, essentially, about who I am as a person today." ~ Turodrique Fuad

Creative portrait photography by Alex Benetel

Diana Eftaiha — Mon, 13 May 2013 13:50:33 +0000

"My name is Alex Benetel, I’m nineteen years old and I’m an aspiring fine art photographer. I’m from Sydney Australia and ever since I enrolled into a Visual Design course when I was fifteen, photography has become one of my greatest passions. I’m currently in the middle of a 52 Weeks Project, which like the title suggests, involves me taking one photograph every week for a year. My style has gradually changed over the years and I describe it like this – I aim to create beautiful photographs that capture mysterious yet dream-like worlds, filled with oddities that encompass aspects of reality." ~ Alex Benetel

Black and white film photography by Felipe Vellasco

Diana Eftaiha — Mon, 06 May 2013 14:24:39 +0000

"Born in Rio de Janeiro in 82, I am now based in São Paulo, Brazil. I graduated from Mackenzie University and started working in the creative area at local advertising agencies. After a few years I lost my interest in the agency model and started directing films. I’m currently being represented by Sentimental Films.

Photography is my other passion. In the last couple of years I’ve been shooting more and more and now I think I can’t stop without professional help anymore. I shoot mainly 35mm film and slide. Never digital." ~ Felipe Vellasco
