amazing images by Jeremy Cowart

I follow Jeremy Cowart in facebook, and he does not always shares his profesional work as much as his experiences and feelings/thoughts, but from time to time, he shows us freaking good images like the ones in this post. He has edited them with some colour. You can see the movement, the elegance, and the colours are really powerful.

Checking out my course mate Helen Rosemier blog I have found a reference she makes to this web page. I love the extract of the colours and the very nice palettes that you obtain with some of the chosen scenes:

nude portraits - Polly Penrose

Polly Penrose - photo part of 'a body of work'

So very interesting reading the article about Polly Penrose in the British Photo Journal. How she repeats the photo once and again until she's happy with every detail, tweaking her position, getting the shape she's looking for. Also how she's been looking back at the pictures and realising how they show the feelings she was going through at every different moment. 

Beautiful project. I hope we can see how it keeps on evolving and growing. 

I came across this series of photos by photographer Miyoko Ihara. I want to share the link, although I would not dare to comment on them (not yet) as I have not done any of the photography courses. Just say that I have enjoyed not only the nature of the pictures, the two main subject matters and the feeling they transmit, but also the light and the vibrant colours.

MAD//13 - Madrid Aerial Demo-Reel from cromatica45 on Vimeo.

A friend sent me this video earlier today. I love how the music works with it, and the beauty of the scenes, just because of the angle, the slow motion and the clarity and quality of the image... probably also because it's Madrid, it's my city, and I miss it so much.

Am I being subjective?

What do you think?

The song is Any Other Time, by Thomas Newman, and it goes perfectly with simple images, as it can be seen in the movie American Beauty, in the scene of the bag: a carrier bag is dancing with the wind, in random directions, up and down, then static for an instant, then again... and the music helps to find the scene surprisingly moving and beautiful.
