Twenty Foot Photos (That’s a Lot of Toes!)

July 11th, 2008

Feet are interesting photographic subjects that often get overlooked because of their proximity to the ground. Feet can be very expressive of the person they belong to — sometimes even more so than a portrait. Here are 20 feet photos from the Epic Edits Flickr Pool.



ZORIAH: A Great Photojournalist

July 2nd, 2008

I have a deep admiration for great photojournalists. The ones who do well have a special gift for capturing real events as they happen to real people. Being able to convey these things to people across the globe through photos and written stories is truly a gift. I’m no photojournalist myself, but I hold those who are in very high regard and their photos are some of my favorites to experience. Zoriah is one of these great photojournalists.



Top Photos From 43 Portfolios

June 6th, 2008

On May 19, I announced that the Fine Art Photoblog was accepting portfolios to fill two new spots. In just two weeks, we had 43 outstanding portfolios come through: a few familiar names, and many new ones. This was a larger response than I had expected, and I have to admit that I’m wishing there were fewer portfolios to review! So here is one photo from each of the 43 portfolios.



Ten Reasons to Love Cross Processed Film

May 23rd, 2008

First of all, film is great. You guys are probably going to get sick of hearing about film from me over the next couple of months — I just bought two more cameras and a gob of film to run through them. I’m fairly new to film, but I’m already starting to set a few personal preferences. I’ve shot two rolls of color film: one roll of Ektachrome cross processed and one roll of Velvia not cross processed. I should’ve cross processed the Velvia too. Don’t get me wrong, standard color film photos have their place and I’m not knocking them. But for my own artistic preferences, I find the cross processed photos to be more interesting and captivating. Here are some reasons why I love cross processed film.



Dreaming of Photography — Unleashed

April 16th, 2008

Last week I asked the readers what they would do if they could as part of our weekly poll. This one was an essay question though, and we had a lot of great answers come out of it. The question was based around the notion of having no worldly obligations and what you would do as a photographer. 18 photographers chimed in to share their dreams and aspirations with the camera — Here are a few of their answers.
