I really like this series by Sean Schmidt. I can't really explain why, but it's something about the stillness and 'ordinaryness' of them.

A guess would be Portra 400 on a 6x7 (probably a Mamiya 7) in good light, then a bit of post.

Yup, there was an article about him floating around after that set was a runner up in the WPP last year. His main setup is a Mam 7 + 80mm (but also a Linhof Technika).

I really liked this series. They are very authentic - which I don't think is the right word, but I don't know what is.

I figure this is good place to ask this question.

I've been given some cash for my birthday to buy some photography books, and I was looking at hopefully picking up some more seminal type books from the big guys in photography. I have books from Martin Parr, Alex Soth, Diado Moriyama, Steven Shore, William Eggleston, Vivian Mayer and a couple of others I can't remember off the top of my head.

I was thinking about getting Robert Frank "The Americans", but I couldn't really come up with anything else easily, any suggestions?

Gregory Crewdson's Twilight and Beneath The Roses have never left my bedside table/coffee table. If you like that kind of surreal, uneasy imagery, they are very immersive (is that even a word?).

NSFW for random boobs and dongs.

Welcome to HURTLAND. All I really knew when I started this project was that I wanted to photograph in my father’s town of birth. For years I had thought about documenting life in Iowa. I flew over, got a rental car and started driving around. This place, where I had been so many times since my childhood, felt different now while looking through a viewfinder. Weeks passed by and I just couldn’t quite find the story that I had originally imagined. It seemed like I first had to re-discover the reality of the area. As if, what I had in my mind were images of my desire that didn’t reflect the actual situation. I asked myself how it could be that in past visits I hadn’t noticed all the worn-down houses, the empty stores, the exhausted looking people. An analog camera forces you to focus.

I love surrealist Flickr garbage!

I unironically love Brooke Shaden's work. And she seems nice and genuinely passionate about making her arts, if a bit wrapped up in the whole ~*foLLoW yOuR dReAmZ*~ that seems to be a common theme amongst the creativelive/seminar selling crowd.

Well, explain to me why I'm an idiot, then, instead of laughing like a pretentious dick. I'd love an opportunity to learn something.

I see zero 6x6 or 4x5 photos taken in the parking lot of an abandoned gas station somewhere in the midwest with a portra tones in the late afternoon sun.

Downvoted.
