Young Photographer Series: Tessa Abrahams (19)
“My fascination with photography derives from its unique ability to make any moment last for an eternity; there has yet to be another way to completely stop time from passing us by. Photography has impacted my life because of how much time I spend reflecting on my memories. I live for the days that I want to remember every detail of forever. Photography serves the world’s witness that all things contain beauty even if that means observing from a new perspective. A camera gives its owner the power to turn the ordinary into extraordinary. Photography lets me show reality to the world the way I want it to be seen. To me, there is no higher form of self-expression than an image.” - Tessa Abrahams

Young Photographer Week: Lyka Orhel
“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: Sarah Howe
“Photography to me is capturing the world through a lens as realistically as if it were through my own eyes. I strive to capture it how it is, and then adjust it to express what it means to me.” - Sarah Howe
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.
Art Coming To Life: Illusion and 3-Dimensionality
It always amazes me to find artists who use their creativity and talent to bring their art to life. I have compiled a showcase of some of my favorite pieces that manage to come right off the paper AND the pavement.
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.
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.
Dark, Frightening, and Enigmatic Works That Leave You Sorrowful
Here we have a dynamic collection of works by Italian artist, photographer, and poet Grassi Stefano. He mostly experiments with graphic art, photography, and graphic poetry. The darkness of his work is what makes him stand out from the crowd. After looking at his work I get that deep, almost depressed feeling that one only gets when they realize that they are indeed alive.
