He ventured into the world of photography around 3 years back when he acquired his first camera, a Nikon D60 as a birthday present from his father. His first instinct was to start clicking.

It spurred him on to keep clicking. Now the camera is an extension of himself.

thefrailsecond-7Each of the photographs by Htet T San shows a human figure walking, running, or playing on the beach. They appear to be reflections, but look closer and you’ll see that neither up nor down shows the real world.

The Right Moment by sholgk

7326722974_2274ceb0bb_zIn his photos, ‘sholgk’ manages to capture his subject’s state and keep a permanent record of their story in a subtle look or a candid smile, at the right moment under the right circumstances as they go so naturally about their lives. The play of light and shadows and everything in between registered elegantly convey his talent and gives his model the stage to come forward and shine.

Our True Selves by Patrick Rochon

PATRICK_ROCHON_works2_13To me, light painting is an expression of our true selves. Through science, we now know that our bodies emit light. So in a way, we’ve been and are constantly light painting, leaving a trace of light behind. Patrick Rochon

Light painting is a photographic technique in which exposures are made by moving a hand-held light source or by moving the camera. The term light painting also encompasses images lit from outside the frame with hand-held light sources. Light Painting Photography can be traced back to the year 1914 when Frank Gilbreth, along with his wife Lillian Moller Gilbreth, used small lights and the open shutter of a camera to track the motion of manufacturing and clerical workers. Man Ray, in his 1935 series “Space Writing,” was the first known art photographer to use the technique and Barbara Morgan began making light paintings in 1940. (wikipedia)

Growing Up by Nashalina Schrape

9896520405_5357ed2f1b_zI inherited the need for fairy tale and magical imagery from my mother. she would tell me the story of growing up in east Berlin, post WW2, with barely any food, no heat and only a couple of toys. she had one illustrated children’s book which she looked at all through the nights. By focusing on the beauty and the pixie dust, she was able to cope through a rather bleak period through her life. for myself, growing up, she fed me a steady stream of wonderfully illustrated children books. The ones that left the biggest impression for me where the ones from eastern Europe and Russia. These characters where always warriors, awkward and often outsider personas, who would have to endure dark forests, scary water passages, uncertain terrain. But they would always endure, even rise to greatness. Each would find their nobility, themselves. I seek that salvation in every one of my images.” Nashalina Schrape

My Daily Routine by Nora Lebowski

7368313302_dbd76df4c9_z“ My name is Nora Lebowski, I’m 20 years old and I live somewhere with overcast skies and a lush forest near home, without missing the charm of 19th Century buildings and bright streets. Although my real vocation is literature and I hard-work every day to become a novelist, photography is one of my most important hobbies. I began to take photos at the age of 14 just for fun. Little by little the fun became a passion and the thing that started just to spend the summer evenings went into my daily routine, the beginning of my love for the whole art world.
