Tricerapowerbottom posted:I'm sure this guy has come up before, but I'm wondering if anyone can give me any ideas as to how to emulate this style of very sharp detail with vibrant colors, completely enveloped in black. I have a tripod, a Canon T2i, a Canon 50mm 1.8, one removable flash, and can rig a cylindrical backdrop if need be. I'm aware it's dumb to come at very technical photography with a bunch of basic stuff like this, I'm just wanting some advice on where to start with this style of portrait photography.

So I saw a bunch of new posts to the thread, came over expecting cool photos, but found a lot of bullshit. Here -- Man Ray (good Surrealist photography)      And Mark Seliger (contemporary portraitist)

I think sometimes people have problems with appreciating (especially) fine art photography in this thread because frequently people just post cherry picked images from what is usually a long narrative of artistic vision (sometimes expecting people to click through to a webpage). That in itself can make it quite difficult to identify with the photographer's vision for his or her composition - there are a number of pictures out there (and in this thread) that on their own are merely "good to great", but presented alongside the rest of the photos, or with some background, are elevated to a level beyond what they alone depict. The opposite is also true. There's also the differences between objective and subjective appreciation of art. Neither is invalidated by the other, but both should be applied to an object to properly gauge its quality. There's also the quandary of the philosophy of art and aestheticism, decadence and symbolism's merits have been argued ad nauseous ever since the movements began.

ansel autisms posted:Some more cliquish garbage from Robert Adams, who has only been admired because of his fantastic ability to take poo poo photos for idiots: I just saw the Robert Adams and Cartier-Bresson retrospectives in Paris yesterday in Jeu De Paume and Centre Pompidou respectively. I learned that I really really hate retrospectives. I came out feeling like I knew less about the photographer then before. Adams in particular was hard to understand. He's a ridiculously prolific photographer so if you only know him from his work with the New Topographics, you're going to absolutely be lost. I picked up this book at Jeu De Paume so I hope I won't be that lost anymore.

Graciela Iturbide is one of my favorites. I like that she doesn't seem worried about telling the truth. I haven't read any interviews of her, mostly because I don't want to be disappointed.

From Emil Kozak's series Big Black Nothing, where he walks until he gets scared, takes a picture, and then turns around and walks back.

This is beyond awesome, and thank you so much for pointing this guy out to me. I wish I could reciprocate, but I guess we'll have to hang on for a bit. Edit: I just noticed that you're stealing the guy's bandwidth. Not cool! Download these pictures and upload them to imgur or something, quickly -- before SoundMonkey catches you!

Vice posted this guy's work a while back, and I loved it then as much as I do now. They can be hit or miss on whether the work they post is any good (in my opinion, a lot of very...hipster-friendly(?) photography posted by them), but this really caught me. They had an interview too. Here's that: http://www.vice.com/read/emil-kozak-tells-us-the-stories-behind-his-big-black-nothing

Spedman posted:Is this the same guy who does terrible things to frogs to get his macro shots? IIRC that was a guy from Indonesia. This guy is certainly not capturing normal garden snail behavior, though, he's just picking them up and putting them in weird places, and then waiting for them to start trying to get off of whatever unsuitable-for-a-snail thing they're stuck on.
