023 - Vitali

Massimo Vitali

“My photography comes from absolute matter-of-fact situations but also from a deep curiosity that I possess for people, for what they do and how they think.”



This photo is one that I keep going back to, every time I do I find something new. Another character, another moment. Capturing moments is something photographer's do, that's something regularly said, but Massimo Vitali is managing to capture hundreds of moments, countless interaction's between the characters in his images. Yet the way he composes the image is such that all of the moments come together, forming a greater depth to the image. You can view it from a distance and it's an amazing photograph, or you can get right up close and get lost in it. I say this in the nicest possible way, but his work reminds me of a where's wally poster. This screenshot does no justice to the detail, you have to visit his site and explore. Some of the images have a magnifying glass, these are the ones you'll get lost in.

022 - Photographer

David Guttenfelder

This isn't the kind of work I normally look at, but it's increasingly becoming the work that interest me the most. I know it's not new work but today I came across David Guttenfelder's Iphone images, which are truly amazing. Some of his more traditional work is below.

021 - Photo

Project complete.

Finishing the project is the easy bit, being happy with it is a totally different challenge.


I just think it lacks the quality/advertising feel than the other one. Deadlines forced a fairly rushed idea/shoot, it's just disheartening when I produce something of not a high enough quality, but the time limit stops me from being able to re-shoot or even come up with a decent idea.

020 - I hate afro.

I hate afro.


Well, maybe not hate. But there is no chance of me cutting one out again.
