Art Communities
a collection of defocused images. I’m particularly inspired by the deFocused nudes.
an international online magazine featuring diverse photos and artists…a place to find inspiration.
There are many photographers from around the world sharing their stories and visions here.
A photo critique community…the best place to improve your photography skills by giving critical feedback to others.
Artists we like
His “toilygraphs” are abstract photos that he makes by putting dye in toilet bowl water and then photographing it.
Evan Lavine of photoSIG said it best when he described Vassiliev’s body of work as “Emotional Visual Poetry.”
Moody b/w long exposure motion blurs that inspire me. My favorite portfolios there are “City of Shadows” and “Black & White Magic of St. Petersburg.”
compelling nude photos of men and women being intimate. The motion blur during a long exposure makes these imaes less “in your face” and more artistic.
He has many inspiring photos, but his “Ghost Opera” exhibition is particularly compelling.
He worked on Star Wars and been director of “Rhythm and Hues”. Some seriously amazing talent here. Unfortunatelly he never finished his short called “Robota” (check the YouTube trailer below) which was very promissing …
His portraits are truly amazing and have an oil painting quality of the old Masters. I can only dream about taking portraits like this.
His artistic, fine art nude photos are incredibly inspiring, and his images make me want to learn dark room technique again.
One of the greats I look up to. His long exposure motion blur photos are my favorites.
Amazing graphic artist and and one of the best enviroment designers we know …
Some outstanding work here. This French guy does it all, but the most amazing thing is his stuff done in POV (Persistance Of Vision).
dreamy b/w photos
Many of her photos are all-night pinhole exposures. All of her photos are evocative and dreamy. My favorite portfolio is “Insomnie.”
An incredible artist who inspires both of us immensely. His gallery is refreshing, diverse, and filled with nothing but outstanding works of art …
Her images give us a visual glimpse into a world of “madness.” Each photo is compelling, intricate, and intriguing.
I enjoy his nude photography, particularly his “Full Body Project” which celebrates women of all shapes and sizes.
Inspirational character work. Author of well known short 3D animated movie “This wonderful life” (part 1 youtube video is below).
Such evocative photos…some with motion blur and unconventional cropping…that move me emotionally. My two favorite galleries are “Painted Rituals” and “Incognitas.”
A very inspiring food photographer
street photography that abandons the rules
Beautiful abstracts, textures, and nature photos
If I could choose any photographer to make some portraits of me, Kemal, or my family, it would be Sheena. When you look at her portraits, it’ll be obvious why.
Moody b/w photos that explore inbetween states of consciousness…the blur between dreaming and awake.
A whole new twist on animal photos…fantastic close-ups, unconventional crops, and unusual POVs.
I can only hope to one day make such dramatic and moody long exposure b/w photos. His portfolio, “Industrial Ghosts” is my favorite collection.
