“Everyone has created or is creating beauty, in whatever way they please, and I can’t get enough of it!” – Bethany Grace

“Sitting in the sky, breathing sunspots, I hope my photography takes me to capturing musicians who I’ve been listening to for years, shooting for magazines and creating pieces of art that light up in the bug-eyes of today’s youth and inspires them to create.” - Julia Trotti

“Photography, to me, is a gift and a privilege offered to us all as a means to capture moments in time forever. When I pick up a camera, a sort of rush comes over me… a NEED to capture something pure, something raw, something beautiful, and to share it with as many people as I can. It is a veritable high to be able to take a photograph and then have that memory become tangible. In a world that has experienced so much hardship, I think we are all seeking for beauty in some way, shape or form. I also think that, overwhelmed by our fast-paced society, we sometimes overlook the simple beauty that is all around us, the beauty that is LIFE. I want my photos to make you feel something real- joy, fear, awe, confusion, serenity, love, anger… and I hope that if you glance through my lens you will discover that beauty really is everywhere if you would only take the time to look and see.”
- Leïla Berney
Elderly in Photography
After the recent popularity of Women in Photography I was approached with many complaints that the collection only showcased photographs of young, skinny, white women. This was distressing to me because I believe there is beauty in all people. Therefore I was inspired to search the internet and find more examples of extraordinary photographers and photographs. I would like to share some of the best images I found of elderly people and promote the photographers who took them. Please share any more photographers or photographs in the comments.

“Photography never started as a hobby. I always loved to take pictures, it’s how I see people and the details. As someone once said, pictures are forever. Those we can keep, those are the memories we will never forget. Photography is my way of showing this world people, the way I see them, the way I see the world and how beautiful anyone, and anything can be. It really means, everything. It’s my passion, my best friend, my guide, my lover.” – Tania Carvalho Continue Reading

“Photography means that I can be myself! It means that I can not only make sense of all those ideas in my head but also be involved with fashion. I can create those images I see when I close my eyes! I can be different. I suppose I was never your normal child… always reading the fashion magazines over other childhood books, never playing in the park, and rather playing with my camera. I was hooked from a very young age! Then about 18 months ago my father paid a model to model for me. That’s when everything felt right! My love of fashion and photography became one! It was then and there that I knew what I wanted to do! Hopefully, one day it will mean that I can shoot for our major fashion icons!”

“Photography for me is a work of art. It is when you freeze a moment and try to capture it with just one click. You are freezing a moment in time while time itself moves on and the moment disappears.” -Lyka Orhel
Young Photographer Week: Emily Tebbetts
“Photography has become my definition. It has infested every sense and emotion that I have. There is nothing that I love that I do not want to capture with a camera, whether it be physical, emotional, or conceptual … or something that doesn’t quite exist at all. Taking photos is such a rush for me– but its one that I never come down from. I want to be unique, and I want to make people feel when they look at my photos. My favorite characteristic of a photo is that little piece of soul that is completely indescribable but twists your organs and gives you a glimpse at some non-existent wisdom, if only for a fleeting second. I feel as though I have found a passion that I will stay faithful to for my whole life, something that will only complement every joy and sorrow that I go through. In a way, it makes the good times better and the bad times more beautiful. Photography is the air I breathe, the thoughts in my head, and the feeling on my fingertips. I will never, ever give that up.” - Emily Tebbetts

“For some time, I thought I’d settle for being a hobbyist. But then, everytime I thought about it, a dull ache would take over me. For me, photography means the cure for this pain of not settling for an ordinary life, it also means the outlet for images and scenes burning in my mind, asking to be released, expressed in some way. Some people write, others paint. I shoot.” - Larissa Felsen
Beautiful and Unique Body Art
Sure paper, clay, canvas, and film are all great, but what about SKIN? It takes a lot of guts to use your own body as a tapestry. This is a collection of some particularly outstanding examples of body art. Feel free to share any other designs you admire in the comments.
Musical Art
In my opinion, music is the single most inspirational thing on the planet. Wouldn’t you agree? See how some of the most popular artists and photographers on the internet have been influenced by music and how they depict it to the world.

Effective Uses of Vibrant Color
One of my favorite tricks in Photoshop is to go straight to Image > Adjustments > Hue/Saturation and desaturate. I know I am not alone in this. However, you and I may be digging ourselves into a deep hole of desaturated boredom. Artists should take every opportunity to experiment with color. The following is a showcase to wow and inspire you to use color to its full potential. Enjoy.
Awe-Inspiring Artwork Featuring Water
Water has always been a symbol of life and beauty. Recently, I was feeling particularly thirsty and decided to scrounge the internet for artists using water as a medium. The following is an incredible showcase of artists who have managed to capture water in the most creative, gorgeous, and unique ways.

Yes, these are actually paintings. Paul Roberts has an amazing eye for detail. His brush strokes capture color and light in a way that sets his art apart from all others. This post showcases some of Paul’s best pieces. Which is your favorite?.
The Line Between Art and Pornography
A lot of people are scared to enjoy art that incorporates nudity. When is it pornography and when is it art? The truth is, the human body is a wonderful and beautiful thing. When captured in the right light it is most definitely art! If the artist or photographer is focusing on the beauty of the body, intimacy, or making a statement it is art. It is easy to determine if the purpose of the composition is just SEX. Art can be sexy and that doesn’t necessarily make it pornography. Need clarification? The following are gorgeous examples of nudity as art, not pornography.
Portrait Photography: Where Black And White Is Right
I have always been a fan of black and white photography, but there are instances where it makes or breaks a picture. The following collection of photos contains some amazing examples of black and white portrait photography. By taking out the color of a picture, it allows the viewer to concentrate on other aspects of the composition. Sometimes color can get in the way. These pictures would no doubt be less inspiring and beautiful if they had color. Enjoy this gorgeous showcase.
Grunge Artwork Depicting Emotion – Ben Tour
Ben Tour uses a sort of messy art style that goes right to the heart. Although his portraits often seem to fade into white space, they seem so raw and real. Notice how he effectively lets your imagination create the rest of the work. I am never overwhelmed by his art, except by emotion. All artists could learn a thing or two from Ben Tour.
