Photographer Removes Phones From Photos To Highlight Our Terrible Addiction
How addicted are you to your cell phone? The real answer may surprise you. “Removed” is an awesome photo project by American photographer Eric Pickergill that highlights our horrible addiction to smartphones in a whole new way. Pickergill removes phones and other digital devices from his photos and as a result presents an entirely new photo—one that shows how much we are missing out on everyday moments all because of technology. Pickergill admits he’s not above smartphone addiction; he spends far too much time on his mobile devices too. It wasn’t his own addiction that inspired the project, but instead a family he encountered while out taking notes at a…

Photographer Captures Monumental Portraits Of Ancient Trees Reveal Some Of Earth’s Oldest Living Wonders
Beth Moon has positioned herself as a sort of documentarian of baobabs. In a book titled Ancient Trees: Portraits of Time, the photographer reveals heart-stopping images of bulging plants reaching to the heavens and the horizon. Although she photographs other types of ancient trees, like sequoias and yews, her framed baobabs – trees that can live for thousands of years – stand out. Moon’s photographs look old themselves. She uses platinum and palladium printing, a vintage photographic process that she hopes speaks “about survival, not only of man and nature’s, but to photography’s survival as well.” For each print, she mixes ground platinum and palladium metals with iron oxide, creating…

Photographer Captures Breathtaking Images of Ballet Dancers on the Streets of NY
New York based Omar Z. Robles captures ballet dancers poised gracefully against the city grit of NYC, performing pirouettes and pliés amid taxi traffic jams, sidewalk puddles, and other bustling urban scenes. Omar first started out as a mime and then went back to school to rediscover himself. He found photography and got into shooting street photography. Over time, it turned into working with dancers on the streets to create a type of image that has become iconic. While Omar feels like he still does some sort of documentary process with his work, he feels like he is a creative director of the most part. In an interview with Huffington…

German Photographer Captures the Wild Beauty and Elegance of Horses
From Seabiscuit to Mr. Ed, some horses have a way of hogging the limelight. But photographer Wiebke Haas gets more up close and personal with more of these majestic creatures in her photo series “Horsestyle” for which she was a shortlist finalist in the 2019 Sony World Photography Awards. The portraits show a variety of horses shaking their manes, which gives us a glimpse into their personalities as well. Haas’ love for horses goes back to when she was a young girl. “When I was 12 years old, I fell in love with a small Appaloosa herd in my neighborhood. It was there where I became a full-fledged equestrian,” Haas tells…

Japanese Artist Turns Found Stones Into Animals You Can Hold in the Palm of Your Hand
To me, stones are not simple materials or canvases for painting pictures on. Among all those numerous stones on a river bank, one stone, looking like an animal, catches my eye. When I find a stone, I feel that stone has found me too. Stones have their own intentions, and I consider my encounters with them as cues they give me it’s OK to go ahead and paint what I see on them. So the stones I decide to paint on are not arbitrary, but my significant opposites with whom I have established a connection, which inspires me to work with them. In my encounters with the stones and in…

Photographer Finds 1960s Postcard Locations And Captures How They Look Today: The Difference Is Incredible!
How many years or decades is needed for us to change our community habits? Pablo Iglesias Maurer took the habit of discovering once favored places to answer this question. He has been doing this as a hobby for ten years now. As a child, he moved from Boston to Nashville and that time as he describes Nashville had an industrial overlook which is a bit dark and gloomy for a child. As he tried to get to know the city, he explored the abandoned sites. Marathon Motor Works was his first love. Professionally so to say, it all started again with an old matchbook that caught Maurer’s eye standing on…

Artist With Alzheimer’s Draws Self Portraits for 5 Years Until He Barely Remember His Own Face
In 1995, U.K.-based artist William Utermohlen was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. This is a difficult diagnosis and disease for anyone, but before his death in 2007, Utermohlen created a heart-wrenching final series of self-portraits over a roughly 5-year period documenting the gradual decay of his mind due to this crippling disease. An essay by the artist’s widow Patricia explains perfectly exactly why these images are so powerful; “In these pictures we see with heart-breaking intensity William’s efforts to explain his altered self, his fears and his sadness.” It’s hard to say whether the changes in his portraits came about due the loss of his artistic skills or due to changes…
