The Photography thread

[sashaz]

I am talking more of fine art photographers not photographers that are on the urban scene. I want to branch out my current art interest.

Check out Marta Cooper she is being featured at M.O.C.A and she is a street art photographing legend. Her upcoming photo collab at M.O.C.A is worth the trip to America.

Think he wanted non urban photographers. Marta cooper is cool, pretty much anyone that went to a school with a library should know who she is.

Check out Andrew Brooks:

He basically takes multiple shots at one location, then patches them together manually. Well worth checking out the zoomable images on his site.

great stuff, i saw at the saatchi gallery a photographer who took many shots of the same item (eg a gas tower) and then put them on top of each other. it gave a strange 3d effect. Really cool but when i looked into it his works were £30k in past auctions and i had missed the boat on the cheaper releases.

Did he jump or was he pushed??

"OK Boys so we have tortured and killed hundreds of thousands of women and children around the world...What's next?"

"...Well we could torture more animals."

"Excellent idea let's start by throwing some dogs out of a helicopter."

More a funny pic rather than photography as art....but thought it was clever nonetheless.

I like this one.

Thanks Guys.

Schulli, the mantle is from a London townhouse circa '34, making my normal suburban American home just that bit cooler.

Glastonbury set

First image is an amazing capture with a stunning balance of exposure.Not sure if the bokeh on the girl makes or breaks this pic.Great capture all the same


Festival-goers dance to Jarvis Cocker and his band Pulp as the sunsets during the third day of the Glastonbury Festival June 25, 2011. This year's festival featured headline acts U2, Coldplay and Beyonce. Now in its fifth decade, the event has grown from a humble gathering of 1,500 people on Michael Eavis's Worthy dairy farm in 1970, each paying 1 pound and receiving free milk, to a giant five-day celebration of music costing 195 pounds for a basic ticket.
