Beautiful colour…subtle tones….clarity of vision…all of these things attracted me to Jessica Hilltout’s IMPERFECTION series of photos. Then I realised that the photographer was someone that I went to college with. It’s interesting to see how people have progressed since that time, how their photographic vision has matured, what paths their careers have taken, what places they’ve been to.

Xavi Fuentes‘ images are dominated by the sea. Slow shutter speeds reduce the movement of the water to a smooth blur, interrupted only by the solid forms of rocks and concrete. He shoots in the half-light of dawn and dusk, reducing the elements of the landscape to strong shapes and dramatic skies.

Inside Iran: An Interview with Fine Art Photographer Mark Edward Harris

Fine Art Photographer Mark Edward Harris travelled to Iran to shoot his latest book. He talks about his experiences in the Middle Eastern country.

Photographer Mark Edward Harris first caught my eye with his beautiful black and white photos of Japanese baths. The photos bought to my attention to a part of Japanese culture that previously I’d known nothing about. I liked the intimacy of the photos and wanted to learn more about the photographer who took them.
