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: BJ Pascual (21)

“When I was young, whenever I’d look at photos in magazines I would always imagine what was happening outside of the frame; what the photographer was thinking, how long the model has been posing, or what the weather was outside the studio. Now whenever I shoot it still amazes me that I’m that photographer shooting. And I love it.” - BJ Pascual

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.”

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.

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.
