The Man In The Mirror
Artist’s statement:
“I believe that photography is a way of capturing a moment in time. No matter what happens that moment will never be reproduced. I consider myself more of an artist and use photography as a tool to create. When I am shooting for myself, I find that I have an emotional connection with my photography. I can go back through my photography and can ‘relive’ the experience.”
A graphic designer for over 15 years, a musician for over 20 years and now a photographer for 3 years.

Meet AnNamir, a photographer with the perfect mix of talent, class and style !
Posted by Arnaud | Filed under Action, Architecture, Landscape, Macro, Nature, Portrait, Urban
Introducing our 116th featured artist Muktasyaf Ibrahim AnNamir (AnNamir) a photographer with the perfect mix of talent, class and style ! Indeed, whether it be candid portrait, amazing macro, or fabulous high speed photography every shot is a visually stunning work of art! Need inspiration?….AnNamir’s photostream is one you definitely wouldn’t want to miss!
Info about AnNamir مكـتــشــــــف إبراهيم الرفــاعى and his work:
Hi, my name is Muktasyaf Ibrahim AnNamir. I’m a teacher with a great passion for photography. I was born in Kuala Lipis, Malaysia 34 years ago and currently live and work in Kuala Kubu Bharu, Malaysia. I began to get to know the real world of photography around the middle of 2008. Starting from zero, I really did not know anything about ISO, Aperture, or even Shutter Speed. I learned a lot about photography from the Flickr community as there’s so many outstanding and inspiring fellow photographers here in Flickr. I also learned a lot from my fellow friends in Malaysia and well up on some local forums on photography. Thank you guys
I am particularly interested in landscape photography and nature. I am also interested in candid and macro shots. For those who would like to know, there is only a kit lens in my bag with a 50mm f1.8 lens and a macro filter. Also one 3D lens for capturing 3D stereography, but I prefer the kit lens for my stereography photos.
I still need guidance and inspiration from you all to strengthen my knowledge of photography. Last but not least: It will not be exhausted to learn until you return to your Creator. So “Seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave!”

Szefi has the eye of a creative photographer, spotting the small details and magnifying them to make us wonder…”!
Posted by Arnaud | Filed under Architecture, Conceptual, Landscape, Nature, Urban
Meet Réka Solymosi (Szefi) our 115th featured artist, a wonderfully talented photographer who manages to see and capture the intricate beauty and colourfulness of life! Réka indeed has been described as a photographer with an “exceptional ability to capture the atmosphere…the eye of a creative photographer, spotting the small details and magnifying them to make us wonder…”! I’m sure you’ll agree, with the wide variety of styles and compositions in her stream there’s plenty for you to explore and be inspired!
About me:
Born in 1979 in Cluj, Romania as an ethnic Hungarian, I grew up in Sweden between 1990 and 2002. Pursuing my childhood dream, I moved to Budapest in 2002 to study and work. I lived in Budapest for six years, completing my studies and working as a freelance translator, language teacher and support analyst.
Accepting a job opportunity in Sweden, I moved to Stockholm in 2008, where I am currently living and working as a customer service rep.
I took up photography in 2005, and it soon became my number one hobby, dominating my free time and travels.
I am mostly fascinated by urban, landscape and nature photography.
I like to learn new techniques and among my preferred ones are HDR, super wide-angle and long shutter speed photography.
I shoot with a Canon EOS 450D (Rebel Xsi) and a Canon PowerShot G11. Among my prized accessories are my Sigma 10-20 4-5.6 EX DC HSM and Canon EF 85/1.8 USM lenses, and the Vari-ND and NDx1000 filters.
My daily inspiration comes not from noted photo professionals but rather from other fantastic Flickr members who, not unlike myself, pursue this beautiful hobby beside regular day jobs, striving every day to make the world a little bit prettier.

Joshua Gunther, the amazing versatility of a talented urban photographer!
Posted by Arnaud | Filed under Architecture, Landscape, Nature, Night, Portrait, Urban
Joshua Gunther is our 114th featured artist, a talented city guy photographer with a fascinating collection of landscape, nature, portrait, architectural, night shots, cityscapes and dynamic long-exposures of urban LA! Indeed, Josh, who is an animation artist by profession, shows an amazing versatility with diverse photographic genres and a perfect grasp of light and framing in every exposure! Definitely worth a cruise through this unique artist’s photostream!
Artist Statement:
My Name is Joshua Gunther. I live in the sometimes misunderstood city of Los Angeles!
I have lived here for many years but it wasn’t until I started adventuring downtown to take photos that I really started to understand the city for what is was, a beautiful place! It is my hope that you enjoy these photo’s and maybe experience LA in a new way.
My day job is working on animated film at Dreamworks Feature Animation, where I work as a Previz Artist in the Layout Department. My passion for photography developed a few years ago while I was looking for other artistic outlets outside of work. Turns out that photography has been a perfect outlet and has taught me a ton about art, lighting, and composition that I have since used to further my work at Dreamworks.
I also want to give thanks to God, my family, and my wife Jennifer who continue to encourage me to pursue my photography passions! You have been a huge blessing to me.
Thanks for checking out my work! Blessings,
Josh

Meet award-winning Australian photographer Kajo Merkert!
Posted by Arnaud | Filed under Architecture, Landscape, Nature, Urban
A talented eye, artistic vision, and skill are only a few of the outstanding qualities of our 85th featured photographer! Kajo Merkert (Kaj0 ) is an award-winning Australian photographer whose ability to consistently deliver first-rate images is recognized both in Australia and abroad! Kajo is another entirely self taught photographer though he has been around cameras from the age of 10! Be prepared for Kajo’s individual artistry and style when browsing his photostream!
Artist’s statement:
As a completely self-taught photographer, I spent a lot of time with film cameras at age 10. Later I realized that it did not fulfill my
visions on a technical level anymore. It was then that I made the leap into the professional photography world. At that time I also founded a website community for passionate amateur photographers MyShots.com, which currently has over 4,000 members.
My first professional camera was the Fujifilm S5 PRO and I have now moved onto a Nikon D300 and a Nikon D700 as of late. My work has been exhibited in various photography magazines around Australia and in the United States, in an exhibition of the Australian Centre for Photography, in the NSW Parliament House and I have been accepted as a member in the world famous Australian Institute of Professional Photography. I had the honour to shoot at the side of Moose Peterson, Laurie Excell, Michael Reichman, Jean Paul Caponigro, Stephen Johnson and other famous American photographers – many of them highly decorated and some being considered to be America’s most important landscape photographers. I also run workshops in Sydney and enjoy teaching photography as much as I enjoy taking photos!

Janne Olkkonen, extraordinary talent to capture our imagination and delight the senses!
Posted by Arnaud | Filed under Architecture, Landscape, Photographers, Photomanipulation, Urban
Our 82nd featured artist is Janne Olkkonen, a Finnish photographer based in Sweden with a natural talent for art and composition!! Entirely self taught, Janne uses his innate sense of design to compose his magical sceneries and extraordinary creations, just enough of course to capture our imagination and delight the senses!
“Hi everyone,
I’m Janne Olkkonen, am 35 years old and even though I’m originally born and raised in Finland I live in Gothenburg, Sweden, since 1998. I moved to Sweden to study at the university back in -98, met my wonderful girlfriend Sara and stayed in Sweden. We have a lovely little house, one little boy Benjamin who’s soon 3 and one more on the way in April.
I’m self taught and don’t have any graphical education. Until 2 years ago I didn’t even know I have a creative bone in my body but something happened after I got my first DSLR and I got interested in photoshop as well.
I want to explore every genre of photography and not limit myself in any manner.
I hope my glimpses of the world help you understand yourself and the world.
It’s a pleasure to share my work with you all! Keep spreading the joy…
Cheers, my friends!
Janne”
