Hello. I'm not a photographer and not an artist, but I love these types of art. I'm a lover of masterpieces of a moment ... and here are some of them that impressed me deeply ...
No doubt everyone has at least once in their life taken a macro picture. These close-up photos trap our eyes and their effect is somewhat near to casting a spell. You feel involved in the spheres of existence you seldom happen to notice at all. Macro is a magnifying glass used to glorify the multidimensionality of the visible world.
What do people usually place under their camera lens? Perhaps, the range of the objects being photographed in this way is boundless. Plants, flowers, sm

The world underneath the surface of the planet is no less interesting than what surrounds us afloat. Going deep inside the water layers can inspire you to take pictures of the a

It seems the variety of styles and genres in photography is really innumerable. There are as many types of photographic art as you can invent. But some of them have recently become so popular and trendy that their domination is obvious. The type I’m speaking about is conventionally called abstract photography (though in fact, it takes advantage of concrete objects more or less often) and it is gaining more

Conceptual photography has become increasingly popular. Many digital camera enthusiasts have found they are able to produce amazing snapshots of visual objects in a special manner. If we have a brief look at the core of conceptual photography, we’ll find out it has a certain artistic and commercial aim as well. Conceptual photography takes its cue from conceptual art. The goal behind concept photography is to elicit an emotion form the person or persons who view the photograph. The

This time I’ll try to bring a piece of hot and bright Australia into your heart (it is especially topical when we all are waiting for the spring to come soon and are so tired of frost and snow). Many people say that it is unnecessary to be a good professional in photography if you have plenty of beautiful landscapes, deeply-tanned bodies on the beach and a good camera. Max Dupain (1911-1992) succeeded in bringing this stereotype into challenge. Max Dupain was the iconic Australian photogr

"There were and there are infinitely many things on Earth. All individualities are different, they all strive for the different, everybody has various opinions, and we all look differently. Everything that exists is distinct from each other. This is what I adore – these are diversity, uniqueness of a single person and importance of his life. I see something that see

This time we are going to talk about the works by Elliot Erwitt. Born in Paris in 1928 and raised in California and New York, Erwitt has pursued a photographic career in journalism, fashion, and print advertisement. In short, he is mostly popular by his black-and-white pictures which have gained success all over the world. But actually, it is not possible to describe his photos briefly. Each of them reveals the most basic and candid human emotions

He photographed plants by the thousands – photographs which feature flowers, buds, branched stems, clusters or seed capsules shot directly from the side or from an overhead view. Nothing detracted from the subject. This man produced such pictures for over thirty years. His straightforward, passionate concentration on one theme, which he almost endlessly varied, was very peculiar. In 1928 he published the now legendary photographic book "Art Forms in Nature.” It represented

Great photographers threw out a challenge to our habitual outlook and broadened horizons of the visible world. They taught us to take the world in a different way, understand it better and appreciate it more. We can learn a lot from these masters; they inspire us to achieve much success when taking our own pictures. These people deserve to be praised every minute but actually we know nothing of them. Sometimes we don’t even know their names… This time I would like to talk

Sometimes we don’t even notice how our lives are floating away. We don’t pay attention to other people’s lives and feelings. When we take pictures, we seldom think of what is hidden in them. Since the art of photography was discovered (that happened almost two centuries ago), people have been using it for imprinting various events on paper and on their minds. But photos are not only small sheets of
