The Calm Before the Storm – An Electrical Photography Collection

admin — Wed, 18 Jul 2012 14:15:07 +0000

More than storms, I’ve always been fascinated by the calm before them. The sun hides before the clouds, the wind starts to blow, the birds stop singing, and in this monumental silence you know something big is about to happen, like entering in another dimension, when humans and nature didn’t broke the connections – “beyond the horizon, in the place we lived when we were young”. I once saw an impressionist painting at Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam – “The Calm before the Storm”, but I failed to remember the name of the painter, and never found it elsewhere, but never ceased to haunt my mind. Here is a tribute to the fantastic atmosphere of the calm before the storm, captured by talented photographs.

Tadas Černiauskas’ Crazy Portraits of Faces Blasted With Air

admin — Sat, 09 Jun 2012 11:39:47 +0000

I saw it before in advertising videos, but these photos are really cool, so I had to share it with you. They were shot by Lithuanian photographer Tadas Černiauskas, who invited people for an unconventional photo shoot with his special guest – The Leaf Blower. The crazy portraits of people being blown by a Leaf Blower are simply fantastic, because you cannot imagine the incredibly funny facial expressions he obtained. The results are hilarious, if not a bit terrifying.

The experiment was only meant for a good laughter, nor had it any particular purpose: “This series doesn’t have any hidden meanings. It was meant to give some good laughter to the viewers and participants.”, Tadas Černiauskas said.

You can enjoy more crazy portraits of people blown by a leaf blower on Tadas Černiauskas Website.

17 Original Examples of Holiday Photography

admin — Sun, 03 Jun 2012 12:59:35 +0000

Everyone takes photos during holidays, but capturing the same old attractions that everyone photographs doesn’t necessarily means that you made good pictures. If you want to come home with a valuable set of holiday photographs, you have to: 1. open your eyes and see the beautiful in ordinary things, 2. get rid of the classic holiday photo patters, 3. understand that the beauty of the landscape itself isn’t always enough for a valuable photo. Try to capture the unexpected, and not what everybody can see on the Internet when typing the name of the destination you visited.

Here are some examples of beautiful holiday photography for your inspiration. Happy Holidays!

Not everybody is a photographer. Not everybody has talent, or skills, or both. But everybody has beautiful memories. I see Instagram as a modern box of memories – you just install Instagram, strike the pose, apply the filter, and it’s done – the little kid laughing on the bank, your pet playing in the grass, a beautiful landscape, your desk, your lover’s smile, yourself – it’s all there, right in the colors that you remember.

Here are some examples of beautiful Instagram photos that very much look like quick memories that you thought you forgot.
