Young Photographer Series: Bethany Grace (17)
“Everyone has created or is creating beauty, in whatever way they please, and I can’t get enough of it!” – Bethany Grace
Young Photographer Series: Brianna Elton (17)
This 17 year-old photographer from Australia sent me her photography saying, “Right now all I want more than anything in the world is to get out of school and pursue my career as a professional photographer.” To her I say, YES. Do it, and the Nonsense Society will back you every step of the way. Her passion is excruciating, and I can’t wait to see what else she can come up with.

Young Photographer Series: Julia Trotti (18)
“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
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 Series: Leïla Berney (17)
“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

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: 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

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.
Two Teenage Girls Leaving Their Mark On Photography
I recently received submissions from Sarah Rose Smiley and Megan Breukelman. They are both 15-years-old and their work just blew me away! It just goes to show you that talent knows no age. I can only imagine where these two will be in ten years after they have more education and experience. Below you will find a short interview and showcase of each of their works. I was most impressed by Megan and Sarah’s confidence from our conversations. They know who they are, what they are capable of, and what they want. That’s why they succeed! We can all learn something from these girls. If you know of any other young artists feel free to share in the comments.
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.
Striking and Lifelike Paintings by Paul Roberts
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.
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.
