David Terrazas: Asia

As a photographer, capturing emotions and having viewers actually sense those while viewing your photographs is quite a big task. These photographs taken by Spanish photographer David Terrazas have all it takes for me to like 'em. The dramatic decor and faces and the monochrome effects all add to a pretty striking collection of portraits shot somewhere in South-East Asia. Moreover, by making great use of bokeh (quality of the blur) and by putting emphasis on facial expressions the viewers are pulled towards the actual subject of matter, the people itself. Make sure to check out David Terrazas’ Behance profile and his Flickr. More pictures below.

Alex Prager: Cinematic Photography

You know that moment when you stumble upon someone’s work and it immediately catches your full attention (due to whatever reason)? Or when it makes you go: ‘How did he or she come up with such an idea?’ Well, stumbling upon photographs made by Alex Prager had me going just like that.. Her style is characterized by the somewhat unusual, melodramatic, but yet always funny situations she captures with her work. Likewise, a lot of her photographs feature dreamy-looking women and on top of that her work send out that retro-ish message that I like. Some people may find all this weird, but I can genuinely appreciate this kind of weird. More pictures below.

Herring & Herring: Tribal

a

Editorials in which models are outfitted with ethnic or tribal wear are numerous. Whereas some of those don’t turn out that well, Herring & Herring (Dimitri Scheblanov and Jesper Carlsen) did a great job with this one I think. With loads of vivid colours, interesting styling and make-up and models with great facial features these pictures represent tribalism in an artistic and surprising way. Really surprising.. True story, the models used in this editorial spread are named Mey Bun, Rila Fukushima and Ai-li Wang! African roots are nowhere to be found and yet they made it look very realistic. Great work.

Théo Gosselin: Live Fast, Love hard, Die happy.

‘Forever young..’

Two words that came to mind right after browsing through Theo Gosselin’s pictures on both his blog and Flickr page. This French photographer is only 20 years of age and already delivers a steady flow of impressive shots to say the least. With pictures filled with emotions and portraits of the rebellious lifestyle of his closest friends he’s able to capture all kinds of everyday situations in a very unique way. The things that truly strike me are the vintage feel of his pictures, that sunny glow that comes back in a lot of his pictures and the somewhat comforting and surreal touch that is added to his work. More pictures below.

Danny Santos: Shooting Strangers in Orchard Road

Due to the immense popularity of renowned blogs like the Sartorialist and Jak & Jil I’ve come to notice that street photography is a rising style and I tend to like it. I especially like those shots that tell a story with just looking at it and the ones that capture your full attention. Danny Santos II is a photographer who creates such work with his street portraits of complete strangers taken in the streets of Singapore, mainly on Orchard Road. He’s able to capture his ‘victims’ in their natural habitat without them noticing or just before that. Therefore they’re not forced to act in a desired manner which ultimately leads to impressive and sometimes very surprising shots. By viewing his work you’ll notice his trademarks that consists of a few features like pictures in bad weather, pictures in which he creatively makes use of street light, pictures in which random faces stand out in the crowd, silhouette shots and urban portraits. These features combined with the composition of the pictures and the stories behind them make his work so special. More pictures below.

Ashley Champagne: Fall From Grace

If it wasn't for the two models used for the shoot, Una Momolu and Fela Fagburg, and their strong (but beautiful) faces I wouldn't have posted this. No disrespect whatsoever.. but if I had to name one person that has always been able to scare me it would be Grace Jones without a doubt. These pictures taken by Ashley Champagne were clearly inspired by the Jamaican model/singer/actress but they’re a lot more bearable to watch though. More pictures below.
