It’s been awhile since I contributed some new work. Since projects are moving a bit slower than I like, I posted some of my favourite shots from my iPhone using Hipstomatic and Instagram. Enjoy!

I was scanning for some reference shots I could use and came across a site called 500px.com. For anyone unfamiliar with this site, it’s a great source of inspiration. Photographers from around the world upload their work, I think cropping them to 500px. I was first drawn to Konstantin’s profile by his ‘Dancing Among’ photograph. After exploring the rest of his collection, I had found 18 shots that I now had to arrange for today’s post.
When I look at his shots, I feel a sense of isolation in the mass. Konstantin combines many elements to create a sense of desolation. Most photos are of an isolated person or a mass of people walking in formation. The grainy film gives off an imperfect quality to the shots. The scenery is always at night with low light in the middle of snowstorm. In a world without any light, sun or colour: there would be no life. And in this world, the life that does exist is either suffering, or are drones marching in formation.
You can see Konstantin’s complete collection at http://gross.500px.com.

I came across Allison’s work the other day and I was amazed by the effectiveness of it’s simplicity. Each of these photographs are very strong on their own, but crossing them over the way Allison takes them to another level.

I came across Tim’s work on the ISO50 blog a few weeks back and was blown away by these shots. Having never been to California I could still tell right away that this was a California photographer. The fairytale colours in the air and the sun that’s always either rising or setting are captured in every shot.
Tim not only has an eye for taking exceptional photographs but he’s also able to capture a story in every shot. One of my favourite assignments in high school art class was being given a random photo and then told to write the story behind it. It would be a fun game to play with a few friends at a coffee shop.
You can find more of Tim’s work at navisphotography.com and his flickr.

This will not be my only post on Anna Morosini. I connect very strongly with her Polaroids. When I’m looking at Anna’s photographs, I get sucked into old creative writing exercises like ‘what’s going on in this scene?’. When choosing which pictures were to be posted and in what order, my choices didn’t rely on balancing the colours (lightest at the top, darkest at the bottom) like I would normally do. Instead I found myself placing images as if they were scenes in a movie. That’s the magic of her work. She can tell you a story with only one frame.
You can see more of Anna’s work on her flickr page.

Today’s quick blog post features of small collection of soft palette photographs from different photographers. A mix of soft warm and cool tones creates some truly effective photographs. Anyone looking to recreate this colour effect can try playing around with your Color Balance in Photoshop and leaning more to your blues, reds and magentas.
These were picked out of an inspiration folder on my desktop and the photographers names are unknown. Feel free to credit someone in the comment box and I will correct the post.
