Our 63rd featured artist can be described as a regular gal with a passion for photography! Anne-Marie known on flickr as bleuet / Anne-Marie, is an artist that draws the viewer into her images and captivates their senses with a finesse of color and style. A perfect source of inspiration, this is one artist definitely not to be missed.

“Hello, my name is Anne-Marie. I live between Bordeaux and the Arcachon Basin in South West of France.
I bought my first camera (Minolta XG-M) with my first salary and it’s still in order. I really became a serial shooter with my first digital camera 6 years ago.

Seascapes are my favorite subjects. I adore walking by the ocean or the Arcachon Basin at sunset or at the blue hour : it makes me feel optimistic. I also love shooting cityscapes at night because of the atmosphere ; animals (especially funny birds), children…

A dear friend of mine taught me how to take long exposures and I’m now playing with my ND filters like a kid with a toy.

I would like to try other subjects like misty landscapes, portraits in B&W and chiaroscuro, architecture… The most difficult for me is to take candid shots because it seems to me I’m steeling a bit of people’s life… but I want to learn that too.

Photo is a fantastic way to meet people you would never have heard of, and to discover other ways of living and thinking. I’m always amazed when I wander in this group’s fantastic images : they make me dream, learn and want to progress. Thank you all for that ! ”.

The talent of Dominique Palombieri, an artist who skillfully draws his viewers into his magical shutter!

Posted by Arnaud | Filed under Landscape, Night, Urban

As the great Ansel Adams once put it: “You don’t take a photograph, you make it”! Our 129th featured photographer makes his photographs alright! Dominique Palombieri is an artist who does a serious job with raw textures, lighting and patterns in a photo. From delicately toned landscapes and misty mountain vistas to awesome night scenes and cityscapes, Dominique skillfully draws his viewers into his magical shutter! Below you’ll find 18 brilliant photos from a wide variety of his shots, a stunning collection you will all agree!

About me:
I did start photography 3 years ago when I moved from France to California (San Francisco) for my job. I’m not a pro photographer but I try to do my best to reach a level as good enough to do some exhibitions of my photographs.

Over the past tree years I’ve been spending a great time in California, photographing incredibly beautiful landscapes in these locations and around. I have now a real passion for landscape photography and as soon as I have time to hunt the light it’s a pleasure to find a spot, go there, compose and wait for the magic light…

Be inspired by the breathtaking, jaw-dropping photography of Babak kianifard!

Posted by Arnaud | Filed under Landscape, Nature, Urban

If you’re looking to be inspired by breathtaking, jaw-dropping photography then you’ve come to the right place! Superlative imagery is what our 127th artist is all about! Babak kianifard, Babak (Babaky), is a photographer who consistently puts out high quality, reliable images incorporating his particular artistic style in all his compositions. Whether it be it urban, architecture, land or seascapes this artist delivers everytime!

Artist’s statement:

My interest in photography started when I was at school. I joined the photographic club and soon got my own film SLR. This partnership carried on (on and off) for many years until 2001 when I bought my first digital camera, and have not looked back since.

The digital process is an ever-changing one and the learning process goes on and I suspect and hope that it will never end. I have learnt an enormous amount through the Internet and sites such as Flickr.

Beyond capturing a moment, the feel and atmosphere of a place, I chase the light. Being aware of light is a very important aspect of a shot and makes the biggest single difference to my personal satisfaction of a photograph that I take. When photographing a landscape or seascape I try to produce a shot which portrays an unusual and unexpected perspective and feel of the place. This often backfires and can be frustrating, but is always stimulating and enjoyable process, which is after all the reason why I continue to take photographs.

I always shoot RAW and use PS for post production. I do not have a regular working pattern or work flow as I find a regular working pattern bores me quickly and becomes a chore rather than a joy. This also affords me a little more freedom and means each shot is unique and often irreproducible even by me.

I am very grateful for this opportunity to present my pictures and thank you all for looking.

Philippe Clairo, timeless images and artistry hand in hand!

Posted by Arnaud | Filed under Landscape, Urban

Philippe Clairo (craignos) is our 89th featured artist, an innovative photographer with a certain feel of timelessness to his images! Certainly Philippe’s experience in the multimedia industry has no small part to play in his photographic endeavors! Known to many on the web for his magnificent sceneries and artistry of composition, Philippe is a poet with the camera and won’t disappoint any browse through his photostream!

My Bio:

Born and mainly raised in France, I did grow up in Gabon, Africa, for 4 years until the age of 11. After my graduation in France, I imported myself to Calgary, Canada, where I made a career in Multimedia, to eventually become a video editor for a reputable online marketing agency, thanks to my brother.
It wasn’t until 2006 that I started getting very interested in photography (and especially after few words of encouragement).
I like to capture vast open spaces, and the beauty of the light of the moment. I also like sharpness and details in an image, as long as it doesn’t take away from the poetry that comes out of it.
I don’t pretend to know what I do, but I like to share the best of my work.

Thanks for watching. Philippe.
