21 Quotes by Photographers on Photography

admin — Tue, 26 Nov 2013 05:14:56 +0000

Because of the popularity of my other posts about quotes by photographers I decided to create some more. In making these I’m learning a lot more about the photographers who wrote these words. Each one of these gives a little insight into the thoughts of each one. I don’t think I need to say that if you’re a photographer that it’s good to study the masters. You probably already do. I have tons of books on graphic design and only a few on photography at the moment. I’m going to change that. Hope you enjoy!

Here are quotes by Annie Leibovitz, Andre Kertesz, Ansel Adams, Bob Richardson, Diane Arbus, Dorothea Lange, Edouard Boubat, Edward Steichen, Fay Godwin, Inge Morath, Josef Koudelka, Mark Riboud, Martine Franck, Rene Burri, Robert Doisneau, Robert Frank, Sam Abell, William Klein, Yann Arthus Bertrand, and Yousuf Karsh.

13 Cool Quotes About Photography

admin — Tue, 05 Nov 2013 09:48:10 +0000

I had a good time creating the last batch of quote images and saw such a great response, so I decided to spend some more time this evening creating a few more. Designing these I think really helps me to remember, not only the quotes, but the photographers and people who coined the phrases. Please feel free to pin them to Pinterest or share them on Facebook.

Helen Mirren isn’t a famous photographer, but I really liked this quote by her.

This quote is not by a photographer but I thought it was pretty funny.

Thanks for checking out these quotes about photography. Hope you liked them!

The Mysterious Photography of Mikko Lagerstedt

admin — Fri, 02 Aug 2013 05:00:34 +0000

Really digging these photos by Mikko. Mikko Lagerstedt is a fine art photographer from Finland. He was born on November 1982 in a small town in Finland. He started his photography journey back in December 2008.
He fell in love with it straight away. Here’s a quote from him…

“I love to view the world from different perspectives. My goal is to pause the mysterious and atmospheric moments of everyday life. In our lives, things can go so fast that we forgot to enjoy the moments. Sometimes we need to stop and see the beauty of life and if I can make people stop and see it, I have succeeded.” – Mikko

Thank you for the visit, I hope you enjoy these photos. Be sure to check out his website for more.

HDR Photography is really quite stunning. So here is a collection of 36 breathtaking HDR photos for your enjoyment. Not familiar with HDR photography? Here’s what wikipedia has to say: high dynamic range imaging (HDRI or just HDR) is a set of techniques that allows a greater dynamic range between the lightest and darkest areas of an image than current standard digital imaging techniques or photographic methods. This wide dynamic range allows HDR images to represent more accurately the range of intensity levels found in real scenes, ranging from direct sunlight to faint starlight, and is often captured by way of a plurality of differently exposed pictures of the same subject matter…

Just check out these amazing HDR photos below.
